We are very grateful to the Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Jane Hutt for her commitment and support to all our communities as well as Welsh Governments Health Officials for listening to us.
We hope to hear back from Health Officials what they are doing to save the lives of our community members who are four times more likely to die from Covid 19 than others.
We hope that Health Officials and Public Health Wales continue to find urgent ways to save lives by working with the First Ministers BAME Covid 19 Advisory Group chaired by Judge Ray Singh CBE.
