Responding to Jane Runeckles’ evidence at the COVID Inquiry, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“By deliberately deleting messages that were relevant to Welsh Government decisions, advisors and Ministers have robbed bereaved families of the answers they deserve.
“People who lost family members and friends during the pandemic deserve to know how and why decisions were taken, but thanks to actions taken in Welsh Government, they may never get those answers.
“If the Labour Government has any level of respect or compassion for those people, they should do the right thing and set up a Wales-specific inquiry so we can get to the bottom of these hugely important issues.”
