Minutes:

The Chair had privately met with petitioners immediately before the meeting and highlighted areas covered in those discussions. Members noted the broad scope of the issues raised, which were beyond the Petitions Committee to take further, and would require the Welsh Government to have a cross-governmental strategy. The Committee therefore agreed to write to the First Minister to ask about the Government's cross-portfolio strategy on tackling long COVID, and particularly for those people who are out of work or struggling to get back to work because of potentially undiagnosed long COVID, and to keep the petition open pending a response. The letter would be copied to all the relevant Cabinet Secretaries for awareness. Members also agreed to write to the relevant Senedd subject committees to ask for more information about what they were doing, or had planned on Long Covid, with a view to making recommendations to the Welsh Government. The Wales Covid-19 Inquiry Special Purpose Committee would be copied into the correspondence, for awareness.
