Social care tax rise should be re-examined, says Mark Drakeford

Mark Drakeford said tax and public spending changes at a Westminster level “strengthened” the case for re-considering a specific social care tax.

Plaid Cymru’s Adam Price said such a tax was an option for giving social care sustainable long-term funding.
