Bereaved families say the Welsh government did not do enough to prepare for a pandemic.
"The Welsh government have had 24 years since devolution to plan for such a pandemic in a way that best protected the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in our society," Ms Heaven told the hearing in London.
"This gives the inquiry an insight into the Welsh government's approach to pandemic planning in the years before Covid-19, and their willingness now to accept some responsibility for what went wrong." "For example, pandemic preparedness failed to take account of the acute health inequalities in Wales, distinct from the rest of the UK, and that specifically included levels of chronic ill-health and disability in the older population."Mark Drakeford refused to answer a question about his handling of Covid in the Senedd on Tuesday
"Do you agree that was a risk too far ,and that discharging patients from hospitals to care homes without testing should not have happened," he asked.
