HERITAGE staff are seeking urgent talks after First Minister Vaughan Gething said that his government would not step in to stop the closure of the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff.
Mr Gething explained on Monday that the Welsh government was prioritising the health service in Wales, so it would allow the city centre museum and gallery to be closed.
