A poignant legacy of the strike could be witnessed over the last few weeks. The sense of community and solidarity that was at the heart of the strike, was again to the fore as the terrible floods hit those same communities - from Nantgarw in my constituency, to Pentre in the Rhondda. People standing shoulder to shoulder, giving what they have to help neighbours, united in a shared resolve that this disaster would not beat them. A decade ago, Billy Liddon also told me that he thought people were forgetting the suffering the miners endured during that year. But on occasions such as this anniversary, we have an opportunity to reflect that, in the strength of our communities in adversity, the rediscovery of lost heritage, and the continuing fight for justice, the legacy of the miners' struggle 35 years ago lives on.

Gellid gweld gwaddol ingol y streic dros yr wythnosau diwethaf. Daeth yr ymdeimlad o gymuned ac undod a oedd wrth wraidd y streic i'r amlwg unwaith eto wrth i'r llifogydd erchyll daro'r un cymunedau - o Nantgarw yn fy etholaeth i, i Pentre yn y Rhondda. Pobl yn sefyll ochr yn ochr, gan wneud popeth a allent i helpu eu cymdogion, yn dod ynghyd gyda'r un penderfyniad na fyddai'r trychineb hwn yn eu trechu. Ddegawd yn ôl, dywedodd Billy Liddon wrthyf hefyd ei fod yn credu bod pobl yn anghofio dioddefaint y glowyr yn ystod y flwyddyn honno. Ond ar adegau fel y garreg filltir hon, cawn gyfle i fyfyrio ar y ffaith bod gwaddol brwydr y glowyr 35 mlynedd yn ôl yn parhau yng nghryfder ein cymunedau yn wyneb heriau, wrth ailddarganfod treftadaeth a gollwyd, ac yn y frwydr barhaus am gyfiawnder.

Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, it is with regret that I have to raise with you another report about service failure in Betsi Cadwaladr health board in north Wales. In the most recent report, which made for very distressing reading, we learnt of the failings in mental health services that led to the tragic deaths of two individuals. One patient took their own life, and the other died through what looks like neglect. These deaths were as recently as 2021, just months after the then health Minister took the health board out of special measures, a direct result from your Government. After having this time to reflect on the report and its findings, do you, like me, believe that the families are owed an apology from both the health board and the Welsh Government that their loved ones were not looked after in a better way?

Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, mae'n flin gen i bod yn rhaid i mi godi adroddiad arall gyda chi am fethiant gwasanaethau ym mwrdd iechyd Betsi Cadwaladr yn y gogledd. Yn yr adroddiad diweddaraf, a oedd yn peri gofid mawr, cawsom wybod am y methiannau mewn gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl a arweiniodd at farwolaethau trasig dau unigolyn. Cymerodd un claf ei fywyd ei hun, a bu farw'r llall drwy'r hyn sy'n edrych fel esgeulustod. Roedd y marwolaethau hyn mor ddiweddar â 2021, ychydig fisoedd ar ôl i'r Gweinidog iechyd ar y pryd dynnu'r bwrdd iechyd allan o fesurau arbennig, canlyniad uniongyrchol gan eich Llywodraeth. Ar ôl cael yr amser hwn i fyfyrio ar yr adroddiad a'i ganfyddiadau, a ydych chi, fel fi, yn credu bod y teuluoedd yn haeddu ymddiheuriad gan y bwrdd iechyd a Llywodraeth Cymru na dderbyniodd eu hanwyliaid ofal mewn ffordd well?
