the foreseeable future, the Committee’s programme will focus on its inquiry
into the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak, and its management, on health and social
care in Wales. The Committee has issued an open call for views as part of this
inquiry. There is no need for a lengthy response, and no fixed deadline to
submit – we ask that you share what you can, when you are able to. All
responses received will be considered by the Committee and will help inform our
ongoing work.</OpeningPara>
<OpeningPara>Issues
to be considered during the spring by the Committee will include vaccination,
testing and the impact of the pandemic on social care, unpaid carers and waiting
times.</OpeningPara>
<OpeningPara>Running
alongside this inquiry will be a rolling programme of virtual oral evidence
sessions. All meetings can be viewed, live, on Senedd.tv. A final agenda for
each meeting will be published on our website every Friday.</OpeningPara>

policy matters, encompassing (but not restricted to): the physical, mental and
public health and well-being of the people of Wales, including the social care
system.
