Part of 3. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport – in the Senedd at 2:55 pm on 1 March 2017.
No, I wouldn’t say I’ve had a satisfactory response from the UK Government. You’ll note that, after the cross-party Members’ debate we had in this Chamber, I undertook again to press the UK Government, and I’m awaiting a further response. Thus far, the UK Government have been resistant to having a public inquiry, and I recognise that that will be a continual problem for the families of those affected, both living and deceased, because until there is a proper public inquiry—which only the UK Government can provide because of where the information is about how the scandal erupted and was not properly brought to light—then I recognise that injustice will continue. So, this Government will maintain our commitment to keep on pressing the UK Government until we do see the right thing done.
