Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:21 pm on 14 December 2021.
We've received a very clear message from you today, Minister, for people to wait for an appointment. But I have received a number of calls and messages from people today asking when walk-ins will be available in my region, and have seen that there are health boards that are promoting this. So, I am concerned that there is a panic taking place out there, and I think that these messages, which perhaps are conflicting, won't be helping at the moment, in hearing that some areas do have walk-ins and some don't. So, having clarity on that is vitally important.
I'm sorry as well to sound like a stuck record, but I did hope to hear today, as part of your statement, an update with regard to the COVID pass, with regard to those people who can't be vaccinated for some reason. I've raised this with you on a number of occasions since 2 November. On the Welsh Government's website, it still says that the system is being developed to ensure that people can receive a COVID pass if they have an exemption, or they can't receive a vaccine, or they can't take an LFT test for medical reasons and so on.
So, could we have an update in terms of when this system will be available please? Because people do remain concerned, and they can't access access shows, or attend cinemas, and are concerned that people with autism and so on are being excluded from such activities at the moment because this system is so slow in being implemented, as compared to what we've seen in England. Thank you very much.
