What immediate actions are needed to address the critical failings in providing adequate Gypsy and Traveller sites in Wales, considering the severe health and social consequences?

A Senedd committee in Wales found little to no progress in improving Gypsy and Traveller sites over the past two and a half years. The committee cited long waits for pitches (over 20 years in some cases), unsanitary conditions (rat infestations, mold), and racism from some councillors. This neglect has caused significant physical and mental health issues for residents.
