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.

Labour needs to be “bolder” but Sir Keir Starmer should be given time to rebuild the party’s support, former leader Ed Miliband has said.
The shadow business secretary’s comments came after Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner admitted that members of the public did not know what Sir Keir “stood for” before they went to the poll.
Mr Miliband said the party’s senior figures have a “collective responsibility” to “show what we stand for”. Keir Starmer has provided new leadership… but we all have a collective responsibility to show exactly what we stand for @bbcnickrobinson asks shadow business secretary Ed Miliband how has Labour Party changed since he stepped down as leaderhttps://t.co/0b1LY2v5sE#R4Todaypic.twitter.com/iZVRcfkgaQ
