Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:44 pm on 9 February 2021.
Minister, I was at a meeting last night in Community House in the Maindee area of Newport East, which has a number of ethnic minority communities regularly involved in its activities. There was a presentation on the vaccination programme, around the reluctance of some black and ethnic minority communities to take part. One of the major issues was that the presentation that we had from public health focused on UK statistics. The group felt that there is a dearth of information, at least that they have, at a Wales level on that reluctance that would seem to be present in black and ethnic minority communities to have the vaccine. So, their plea, really, was for that information to be available on a Wales level, so that they could best direct their efforts in terms of community outreach messaging and communication to the groups that most need to have the benefit of that effort. I wonder if you could tell me today what information the Welsh Government might be able to produce for groups such as Community House to bolster their efforts to encourage take-up of the vaccine in those groups.
