Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 2:37 pm on 5 June 2019.

Would you therefore not agree that the Welsh Government proposal to introduce a social care levy, without any guarantees that this would lead to the eradication of social care charges, is unfair, and a missed opportunity to put health and social care on an equal financial footing?
