    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to the panel. My lead-off question is to either Phil [Graham] or Ben [Lucas].

    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Shaun Bailey AM: Thank you, Chair. I wanted to go back and cover this ground of additional support for particular groups. What does that look like for the recovery programme? Who gets to decide which groups we are going to support more and why? We talked a lot about the BAME community and the impact of COVID on my community, but also white working-class men have had very poor health outcomes from it.
