Scrutiny should be 'out of the political arena', says the leader of Wales' Covid bereaved group.
Anna-Louise Marsh-Rees says a committee run by politicians cannot be a substitute for an independent inquiryBereaved families say a Senedd committee "muddies the waters" amid renewed calls for a Wales-specific Covid inquiry.
The Wales Covid-19 Inquiry Special Purpose Committee was set up as part of a deal between Welsh Labour and the Welsh Conservatives, to identify any gaps in what the UK inquiry said about Wales. She said: "With an independent public inquiry, the inquiry would be resourced to approach witnesses and compel evidence and hold public hearings.
Ms O'Brien said she was "surprised" the Welsh government voted against holding a Welsh independent public inquiry. Plaid Cymru health spokesperson Mabon ap Gwynfor said both parties wanted to "quieten the issue" of a public inquiry and "push it into the long grass".
