National Assembly for Wales

This Senedd:

1. Notes:

a) the heroic efforts of NHS staff and volunteers in ensuring Wales has one of the most successful COVID-19 vaccine delivery programmes globally;

b) the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 commits Wales to act as a globally responsible nation;

c) low-income countries are bearing the highest health and economic costs from COVID-19, with uncertainty and risk continuing for us all until global vaccination is complete.

2. Calls for the UK Prime Minister to waive intellectual property rules, sharing vaccine know-how and technology with the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Technology Access Pool, enabling life-saving escalation in vaccine production.
