Covid: Man calls for Wales-specific inquiry after losing parents

A man is calling for a Wales-specific Covid inquiry after losing both his parents within the space of a few weeks.

James Heaton, 43, from Pontypridd, lost his father Frank, 74, when he caught Covid and died last year.

His mother Ann Heaton, 75, died a few weeks later from frailty of old age and a urinary tract infection but her son said it was Covid that "brutality weakened her".

He said: "We need to learn the lessons of what went wrong this time to prevent others going through the sheer hell I have been going through for the last five months.

Wales' first minister said his government's decisions should be scrutinised in a UK-wide inquiry.

The Conservatives and Plaid Cymru said they would call a Wales inquiry if they were in power after May's election.
