Llywydd, there were an awful lot of 'suspects', of 'maybes' and 'could-have-beens' in that question. What the Welsh Government did was to follow the clinical advice that we had that testing somebody leaving a hospital who had no symptoms of coronavirus, going to a care home, was not something that offered you any clinical assurance. Anybody with symptoms was tested all along. It was only people who had no signs at all of coronavirus that weren't tested, and the clinical advice to us was that a test of that person would offer you no reliable assurance that would make any difference to the decisions that were being made about that person.

The reason why we changed the guidance was not because the clinical advice had changed, but because we recognised the need to give confidence to people in the sector, that there were anxieties about people being discharged from hospital without a test even when that person had no signs of coronavirus at all, and because we recognise those concerns and the need to give confidence to people in that sector, we changed our arrangements so that people leaving hospitals, whether they have any symptoms or not of coronavirus, are now tested before they leave, and, indeed, we're extending that to any setting that somebody enters a care home from—not just from hospitals, but anywhere somebody entering a care home is moving from in Wales, that person will now be tested for coronavirus.

But to be clear with the Member, the medical and clinical advice remain all the same all the way through: that a test of somebody who has no symptoms doesn't offer you anything useful in making the right decisions for that person. We've done it because we want to make sure that, for those people who are providing such an essential service to people, and who have anxieties, we are doing things that we can to give them the confidence they need to go on providing the essential service that they are providing.
