Wales' response to the pandemic could be investigated by a new Senedd committee under a deal between Welsh Labour and the Welsh Conservatives.
A special committee will see if there are any gaps in what the UK Covid-19 inquiry says about Wales.
It follows a long-running row over whether Wales needs its own probe into the pandemic.
The Welsh Conservatives welcomed the "halfway-house" compromise.
The Welsh government has continued to resist calls for a Wales-specific public inquiry into Covid, supporting instead the UK-wide effort chaired by Baroness Hallett.
The inquiry has a sub-module specific to Wales and will hold public hearings in the country this autumn.
Campaigners fear the UK inquiry will not be comprehensive enough.
