Plaid repeats calls for vaccine supply figures to be made public
Responding to questions raised about the supply of vaccines into Wales, Plaid Cymru’s Shadow Minister for Health, Rhun ap Iorwerth MS said,
“Transparency is key in maintaining public trust. Everyone involved in the vaccine rollout has done a fantastic job in vaccinating 20% of the Welsh population, but we need to see the flow of vaccines into the four UK nations, to have confidence that we are getting our fair share.
“I have repeatedly asked for the data on how much of each vaccination is distributed to all nations, in the spirit of transparency. The Health Minister has indicated he agrees, so the question is – when will this data be made publicly available, so that we can all have confidence that distribution is as open and fair as possible?”

1. In answer to a question from Rhun ap Iorwerth about publishing the number of vaccines sent to all 4 nations, Vaughan Gething replied “When we get to agreement on being able to have those figures openly, then we will certainly do so. I'm keen that we're able to do so, but I do understand the sensitivity, particularly at this point in time, on what we're able to publish, and it would be useful if all Government figures in all four nations could respond in the same way as we are trying to do as grown-ups across all four nations”:
