Morgan, who held the health brief herself for three years before she replaced Gething as first minister in August, appointed former first minister Mark Drakeford as interim health secretary for the past five weeks.Miles was one of four cabinet members who forced Gething to resign in the summer by quitting his cabinet, following months of rows over Gething's campaign donations and the sacking of a minister.
