Consultation display

The Health, Social Care and Sport Committee undertook an inquiry into the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak, and its management, on health and social care in Wales.

The inquiry considered the impact of the outbreak, and its management, on health and social care services in Wales. As part of this, the Committee examined the response by the Welsh Government and relevant public bodies, as well as considered the impact on staff, patients and others receiving care or treatment in both clinical settings and the community. It also considered the Wales response in the wider, UK context.

Responding to the call for views

The deadline for submissions was Friday 19 March 2021.

How we use your information

As a matter of course, we publish all views we receive.

For individuals submitting in a private capacity, we anonymise views before they are published. The names and roles of those submitting in a professional capacity will be published, as will the names of organisations submitting information. We may remove personal data from the published version of your evidence if we consider that it could be used to identify you or a third party personally; and/or we agree to do so in response to a request by you.

Please ensure that you have considered our policy on disclosure of information before sending information to us, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Language

We work in two official languages, Welsh and English. You can submit in either (or both if your organisation’s standards or schemes require you to do so), in line with our Official Languages Scheme. We will publish in the language submitted, stating that it has been received in that language only.

Individual cases

While all views submitted will help our thematic scrutiny of Covid-19 and its impact, we are unable to advise on, or take up, individual cases. However, your local representatives will be able to assist you and you can find their details on our website. 

At this difficult time, people will have many questions about coronavirus related to health and social care, employment rights, benefits, business support, travel, food, retail, cancellations, education and lots more. The Senedd Research blog can point you in the direction of the most up-to-date information and guidance from official and reputable sources.

We are in the process of working through the responses received to date and will be publishing them on a regular basis. If you have responded and it has not yet appeared please be assured that we are currently working on it.
