Vaughan Gething: Leak sacking backed by evidence – health minister

Last week in a social media statement Ms Blythyn said: “I am deeply shocked and saddened by what has happened… I am clear and have been clear that I did not, nor have I ever leaked anything.

“Integrity is all in politics and I retain mine.”

On BBC Radio Wales Breakfast, Ms Morgan said there had to be a “degree of trust” within the cabinet, and that she was “happy” with Mr Gething’s explanation.

Ms Morgan declined to go into detail about the evidence itself.

She added: “My understanding is that the leak can definitely be traced to her phone.

“There’s enough evidence to support that.”

She said the first minister had made it “absolutely clear” there was a way back for Ms Blythyn.

Conservatives reiterated calls for the evidence to be published.

Andrew RT Davies, leader of the Tory Senedd group, said: “We cannot be expected to just take the minister’s word for it when Hannah Blythyn has directly denied any leaking and has called the first minister’s integrity into question.”
