New Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth has announced a shake-up of Senedd roles in the party.

Mr ap Iorwerth said the party’s focus in the Senedd would be “firmly” on key issues including the NHS, housing and the rising cost of living.

The Plaid Cymru Leader added that the group would continue to work collaboratively with the Welsh Government through the Co-operation Agreement, but also promised to hold the Labour administration to account where there was a “lack of urgency and delivery”.

South Wales East Senedd Member Delyth Jewell has been appointed as Senedd deputy and will deputise for parliamentary affairs including First Minister’s Questions in the leader’s absence.

Llyr Gruffydd resumes his role as the Chair of the Senedd Group while Heledd Fychan takes on the role of Business Manager.

Mabon ap Gwynfor becomes Chief Whip in addition to holding the key health and care portfolio.

Announcing his Senedd team, Plaid Cymru Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth MS said: “Our focus will be firmly on tackling the issues of the day: the NHS, housing, and the economy – addressing the rising cost-of-living and sustainable public services.”
