Vaughan Gething has been replaced as Wales’ health minister in a surprise move as part of First Minister Mark Drakeford’s cabinet reshuffle.
Eluned Morgan will take over responsibilities for health and social care with Mr Gething moved to look after the economy brief, replacing Ken Skates who leaves the Welsh Government to rejoin the back benches.
Mr Gething has led Wales’ coronavirus pandemic response and served as health minister for the previous five years of the last government.
The reshuffle comes after Welsh Labour won 30 of the Senedd’s 60 seats in last week’s election – one short of an outright majority – with Mr Drakeford set to lead a minority Government.
