Minister, one of the biggest tragedies of the pandemic has been the impact that it has had upon those living in our care homes. They have been separated from their families, unable to hold their grandchildren, denied physical contact with loved ones. This has been particularly hard for those suffering from dementia, often unable to understand why their families have abandoned them. The loneliness and isolation not only hit care home residents hard, but were also keenly felt by their families.

Minister, we now have nearly all care home residents and staff fully vaccinated, and the wider adult population are starting to receive their second doses. It won't be long before the population will be protected from serious illness and death as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. With that in mind, when can we remove the two-person limit on care home visits? When can care homes residents play with their grandchildren or hug their loved ones? Our constituents in the Vale of Clwyd need answers to these questions, as do we.

I understand that, in the beginning, these regulations needed to be passed quickly. However, this is no longer the case. This institution is here not to rubber stamp the Welsh Government's decisions; we are here to scrutinise. I hope that you can address these matters ahead of the next review, and give hope to those in long-term care. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
