Vaughan Gething not ‘damaged goods’ – new Welsh secretary

Ms Stevens, appointed Welsh secretary by new Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Friday, said Labour’s Senedd group had supported the first minister and “he is getting on with the job”.

“Vaughan has my complete support as first minister, I think he’s doing a great job,” she told the BBC Politics Wales programme.

“He will carry on doing a great job, and I’m really looking forward to working with him.”

Ms Stevens praised the way the first minister had reached a deal to end hospital doctors strikes in Wales, was reviewing the controversial 20mph default speed limit introduced by his predecessor and consulting over agricultural payment changes that had previously caused uproar amongst farmers.

During the general election campaign Labour promised to work with the party’s devolved government in Cardiff to get Welsh NHS waiting lists down, and the new cabinet minister was asked if she would like to see more alignment between the health services in England and Wales.

“I hope so,” she responded.

“I’m a great believer that if people are doing things well in any part of the United Kingdom than we should learn from that, we should share those learnings.”
