English: Thank you for the questions. Your point at the outset about a debate or a statement is a matter for people in this place to decide how they wish to use their time. What I would gently point out to the Member is that in a statement the Minister has to respond to a series of questions from a wide variety of people; a debate is an opportunity to simply respond to one debate. There are choices to be made and in reality there would have not have been the time to come to this place with a debate today, but I asked for a statement to be added, recognising the significance of the issue. In terms of your point about implementing recommendations, I think I've dealt with that in response to Darren Millar, but also in my opening statement about needing to implement recommendations and also the upfront recognition that we are in this place because we have not had the level of improvement required and we have not implemented all of the previous recommendations that have been made. There have been challenges in the leadership and direction of this health board over a period of time and that is recognised and I have confidence in the renewed leadership that is about to be provided again to particularly address the challenges that HASCAS and the Ockenden report have highlighted yet again. You mentioned a specific complaint with a range of details that of course I'm not aware of and can't respond to, but if you do write to me then I will ensure that those matters are taken up. I would not try to stand by or defend the suggestions of poor practice that you have suggested, but I can't really respond unless I'm aware of the specific complaints. When you talked about a new way of delivering healthcare, I'm not sure if you were talking about a suggestion that Betsi should be broken up or renamed. It would be helpful to have clarity, but no independent organisation who's gone through in the last few years has suggested that the answer to improving healthcare in Wales is to have more than one health board again within north Wales. I believe at this point in time that would be a distraction and our challenge is making sure that Betsi actually works, and I take on board my responsibility for doing so. There is no escape from that in this particular role and I do not attempt to do so. I expect to be here to answer questions, I expect to answer questions in committee, and I'm committed to do so. In terms of the additional support that you asked, I've put in more intensive support for a team to work alongside the health board, and that will provide additional capacity and capability in key areas, including the delivery of planned and unscheduled care and of course the work on financial turnaround. That also means that I've put in an increased level of support for the performance delivery and finance delivery units as well. So, I expect confidently that I'll have an opportunity to respond to the Chamber again in the future and that will continue to be the case until real and sustained improvement has been achieved.
Welsh: Diolch ichi am y cwestiynau. Mae eich pwynt ar y dechrau am ddadl neu ddatganiad yn fater i bobl yn y lle hwn i benderfynu sut y maen nhw'n dymuno defnyddio eu hamser. Yr hyn y byddwn i yn ei nodi'n bwyllog wrth yr Aelod yw bod yn rhaid i'r Gweinidog, mewn datganiad, ymateb i gyfres o gwestiynau gan amrywiaeth eang o bobl; mae dadl yn gyfle i ymateb i un ddadl. Mae dewisiadau i'w gwneud ac mewn gwirionedd ni fyddai amser wedi bod i ddod i'r lle hwn â dadl heddiw, ond fe ofynnais i i ddatganiad gael ei ychwanegu, gan gydnabod arwyddocâd y mater. O ran eich pwynt ynglŷn â gweithredu'r argymhellion, rwy'n credu fy mod i wedi ymdrin â hynny wrth ymateb i Darren Millar, ond hefyd yn fy natganiad agoriadol am yr angen i weithredu argymhellion a hefyd y gydnabyddiaeth agored ein bod yn y fan hon oherwydd nad ydym ni wedi cael cymaint o welliant ag sy'n ofynnol ac nad ydym wedi gweithredu'r holl argymhellion blaenorol a nodwyd. Mae heriau ynghylch arweinyddiaeth a chyfeiriad y bwrdd iechyd hwn wedi bod dros gyfnod o amser, a chydnabyddir hynny, ac mae gen i ffydd yn yr arweinyddiaeth newydd sydd ar fin ei darparu i fynd i'r afael yn benodol â'r heriau y mae HASCAS ac adroddiad Ockenden wedi'u hamlygu unwaith eto. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am gŵyn benodol ag iddi amrywiaeth o fanylion nad ydw i, wrth gwrs, yn ymwybodol ohonyn nhw ac na allaf ymateb iddynt, ond os ysgrifennwch chi ataf i mi wnaf sicrhau bod y materion hynny yn cael sylw. Fyddwn i ddim yn ceisio cefnogi nac amddiffyn yr awgrymiadau o arfer gwael yr ydych wedi'u hawgrymu, ond ni allaf ymateb mewn gwirionedd oni bai fy mod yn ymwybodol o'r cwynion penodol. Pan oeddech chi'n sôn am ffordd newydd o ddarparu gofal iechyd, dydw i ddim yn siŵr a oeddech chi'n sôn am awgrym y dylai bwrdd iechyd Betsi Cadwaladr gael ei chwalu a'i rannu neu ei ailenwi. Byddai'n ddefnyddiol cael eglurhad o hynny, ond nid yw'r un sefydliad annibynnol sydd wedi ymwneud â'r broses hon dros yr ychydig flynyddoedd diwethaf wedi awgrymu mai'r ateb i wella gofal iechyd yng Nghymru yw bod â mwy nag un bwrdd iechyd unwaith eto yn y gogledd. Rwy'n credu ar hyn o bryd y byddai hynny'n tynnu ein sylw ni, a'n her ni yw gwneud yn siŵr bod Betsi yn gweithio, mewn gwirionedd, ac rwy'n derbyn fy nghyfrifoldeb am wneud hynny. Does dim modd dianc rhag hynny yn y swydd benodol hon a dydw i ddim yn ceisio gwneud hynny. Rwy'n disgwyl bod yma i ateb cwestiynau, rwy'n disgwyl ateb cwestiynau yn y Pwyllgor, ac rwy'n ymrwymo i wneud hynny. O ran y cymorth ychwanegol y gwnaethoch chi ofyn amdano, rwyf wedi darparu cymorth mwy dwys ar ffurf tîm i weithio ochr yn ochr â'r bwrdd iechyd, a bydd hynny yn darparu adnoddau a chapasiti ychwanegol mewn meysydd allweddol, gan gynnwys darparu gofal sydd wedi'i gynllunio a gofal heb ei drefnu ac wrth gwrs y gwaith trawsnewid ariannol. Mae hynny'n golygu hefyd fy mod i wedi rhoi mwy o gefnogaeth i unedau cyflawni perfformiad a chyflawni cyllid hefyd. Felly, rwy'n disgwyl yn ffyddiog y byddaf yn cael cyfle i ymateb i'r Siambr eto yn y dyfodol a bydd hynny'n parhau i fod yn wir tan y bydd gwelliant gwirioneddol a pharhaus wedi'i gyflawni.
