🔍 Big Day for Wales! The latest Covid-19 inquiry report drops today, delving into how Wales, alongside the other UK nations, managed the pandemic. This marks the second instalment from the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, with insights into the decisions made by the Welsh Government and others.
🏛️ Back in June 2023, public hearings kicked off, with Cardiff hosting three intense weeks of sessions in early 2024. Among the 31 Welsh voices heard were political figures, health specialists, and families affected by the pandemic. Former First Minister Mark Drakeford, alongside past health leaders Vaughan Gething and Eluned Morgan, also took the stand.
📄 What’s expected in the 4pm release? The report aims to scrutinise the Welsh Government’s early virus response, particularly regarding the protection of vulnerable populations. It will also tackle how Wales and England navigated different rules and the dynamic between the Welsh and UK governments back then.
🤔 Yet, not everyone’s convinced. Campaigners continue to push for a more detailed, Wales-specific investigation, fearing that the report may gloss over key regional nuances.
Stay tuned as we break down the findings and what they might mean for the future. Join in the conversation and let us know your thoughts! 💬📢 #Covid19Inquiry #WalesResponse #PandemicReview
