Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Minister, foodbanks are an essential lifeline for many families, and their use has soared in recent months, as the price of food skyrockets. While we have the lowest food price inflation in western Europe, well below the EU average, it is still running at…

Data justice: the use of personal data in the Welsh NHS: evidence session 2
