English: I really appreciate that, Llywydd. Thank you for squeezing me in at the end, and thank you very much to the First Minister for your statement this afternoon. I want to focus my question on social care and care homes, if possible, because I was reading through Public Health Wales data this morning saying that 70 per cent of the workforce are vaccinated, and 86 per cent of care home residents. I'm just wondering, with the drive in the booster jabs, where they will fare and how you'll ensure that the workforce and care home residents are vaccinated. And the guidance to visitors hasn't been updated since July - that's visitors, not direct care home guidance itself. So, what additional support is being offered for care home residents over this Christmas period to ensure that residents are still being able to be seen by families? If I may, at the end, I just want to touch on education briefly in schools, in asking whether schools will be able to reopen in January, given the pressures at the moment. I think it's 10 January that they're due back. Can you give any assurances to the education sector today, First Minister? Thank you.
Welsh: Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi hynny'n fawr, Lywydd. Diolch am fy ngwasgu i mewn ar y diwedd, a diolch yn fawr iawn i'r Prif Weinidog am eich datganiad y prynhawn yma. Rwyf am ganolbwyntio fy nghwestiwn ar ofal cymdeithasol a chartrefi gofal, os yw'n bosibl, oherwydd roeddwn yn darllen drwy ddata Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru y bore yma a oedd yn dweud bod 70 y cant o'r gweithlu wedi'u brechu, ac 86 y cant o breswylwyr cartrefi gofal. Gyda'r ymgyrch i ddarparu pigiadau atgyfnerthu, rwy'n meddwl tybed sut fydd hi arnynt a sut y sicrhewch fod y gweithlu a phreswylwyr cartrefi gofal yn cael eu brechu. Ac nid yw'r canllawiau i ymwelwyr wedi'u diweddaru ers mis Gorffennaf - hynny yw ymwelwyr, nid canllawiau uniongyrchol ar gyfer cartrefi gofal. Felly, pa gymorth ychwanegol sy'n cael ei gynnig i breswylwyr cartrefi gofal dros gyfnod y Nadolig i sicrhau bod preswylwyr yn dal i allu cael eu gweld gan deuluoedd? Os caf, ar y diwedd, rwyf am sôn yn fyr am addysg mewn ysgolion, a gofyn a fydd ysgolion yn gallu ailagor ym mis Ionawr, o ystyried y pwysau ar hyn o bryd. Rwy'n credu eu bod i fod i ailagor ar 10 Ionawr. A allwch roi unrhyw sicrwydd i'r sector addysg heddiw, Brif Weinidog? Diolch.
English: Thank you very much, First Minister, and thank you to you all for your contributions this afternoon.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i'r Prif Weinidog, a diolch i bawb am gyfrannu'r prynhawn yma.
English: Let me for the second time take the opportunity to wish you a very merry Christmas. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I hope I don't have to wish you a merry Christmas for a third time; I'm sure I won't need to do that.
Welsh: Gadewch imi fanteisio ar y cyfle am yr eildro i ddymuno Nadolig llawen iawn i chi. Peidiwch â chymryd hyn yn y ffordd anghywir, ond gobeithio na fydd raid imi ddymuno Nadolig llawen i chi am y trydydd tro; rwy'n siŵr na fydd angen imi wneud hynny.
English: May I thank everyone who facilitated this meeting this afternoon - the staff who have worked to ensure that the meeting could take place so effectively, with one notable exception, namely my broadband in Aberaeron? But that wasn't the staff's fault. And may I also give thanks to everyone who will be working across Wales over Christmas to keep us all safe, and that, I'm sure, will include some of you who are attending this meeting too? So, I hope everyone can look after themselves, their friends, their families and their communities. I look forward to seeing you, hopefully, in the new year. Merry Christmas.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i bawb sydd wedi hwyluso'r cyfarfod yma'r prynhawn yma - y staff sydd wedi gweithio i sicrhau bod y cyfarfod yn gallu gweithredu mor effeithiol, gydag one notable exception, sef fy mand llydan i yn Aberaeron? Ond nid bai staff oedd hwnna. A gaf i hefyd ddiolch ymlaen llaw i bawb fydd yn gweithio yng Nghymru, drwy Gymru i gyd, drwy'r Nadolig yma, i'n cadw ni i gyd yn saff, ac fe fydd hynny siŵr o fod yn cynnwys rhai ohonoch chi sydd yn y cyfarfod yma hefyd? Felly, gobeithio y bydd pawb yn edrych ar ôl eu hunain, edrych ar ôl eu teuluoedd a'u ffrindiau a'u cymunedau, ac mi wnaf i edrych ymlaen at eich gweld chi, gobeithio, yn y flwyddyn newydd. Pob hwyl. Nadolig llawen i chi i gyd.
English: Good afternoon. Happy new year.
Welsh: Prynhawn da. Blwyddyn newydd dda.
English: Good afternoon and welcome, everyone. Happy new year to all of you, too.
Welsh: Prynhawn da a chroeso ichi i gyd. Blwyddyn newydd dda hefyd.
English: Thank you, Chair. The question I have is for all the witnesses. Education and communication have been mentioned as two practical measures in the two sessions this afternoon, so the question has been answered partly, but are there any further practical measures that are needed in Wales to increase water safety? We'll start with Nikki.
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd. Mae'r cwestiwn sydd gyda fi i'r tystion i gyd. Mae addysg a chyfathrebu wedi cael eu sôn amdanynt nawr fel dau fesur ymarferol yn y ddau sesiwn y prynhawn yma, felly mae'r cwestiwn hwn wedi ei ateb mewn rhan, ond a oes mesurau ymarferol pellach sydd eu hangen yng Nghymru i gynyddu diogelwch dŵr? Fe wnawn ni ddechrau gyda Nikki.
English: Good afternoon and a very happy new year to you all. Before we begin, I want to set out a few points. A Plenary meeting held by video-conference, in accordance with the Standing Orders of the Welsh Parliament, constitutes Senedd proceedings for the purposes of the Government of Wales Act 2006. Some of the provisions of Standing Order 34 will apply for today's Plenary meeting, and these are noted on your agenda. And I would remind Members that Standing Orders relating to order in Plenary meetings apply to this virtual meeting.
Welsh: Prynhawn da a blwyddyn newydd dda i bawb. Cyn inni ddechrau'r cyfarfod yma o'r Senedd, dwi angen atgoffa pawb am ychydig o bwyntiau. Mae Cyfarfod Llawn a gynhelir drwy gynhadledd fideo, yn unol â Rheolau Sefydlog Senedd Cymru, yn gyfystyr â thrafodion y Senedd at bwrpas Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006. Bydd rhai o ddarpariaethau Rheol Sefydlog 34 yn gymwys ar gyfer y Cyfarfod Llawn heddiw, ac mae'r rheini wedi eu nodi ar eich agenda. A dwi angen atgoffa'r Aelodau fod y Rheolau Sefydlog sy'n ymwneud â threfn mewn Cyfarfod Llawn yn berthnasol i'r cyfarfod rhithwir yma.
English: Llywydd, I thank the Member for that first question. Staff absences, combined with winter pressures and a rise in COVID cases, have led to significant challenges for health boards across Wales. All health boards, including those in the south-east, have plans in place to increase physical capacity and align available human resources with the most urgent clinical needs.
Welsh: Llywydd, diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn cyntaf yna. Mae absenoldebau staff, ynghyd â phwysau'r gaeaf a chynnydd mewn achosion o COVID, wedi arwain at heriau sylweddol i fyrddau iechyd ledled Cymru. Mae gan bob bwrdd iechyd, gan gynnwys y rhai yn y de-ddwyrain, gynlluniau ar waith i gynyddu capasiti o ran lle a chysoni'r adnoddau dynol sydd ar gael â'r anghenion clinigol mwyaf brys.
English: Thank you, First Minister. As you've said, hospitals are under tremendous strain owing to the omicron variant of COVID-19. Dr Phil Banfield, the chair of the British Medical Association's Welsh consultants committee, has described how doctors are getting very distressed about their inability to assess patients in emergency departments, and that the sheer numbers of people getting this variant mean even a small number of them being admitted to hospital could threaten to tip the NHS in Wales over the edge. And that chimes with what an intensive therapy unit consultant from the Aneurin Bevan health board has said on social media about large numbers of COVID patients, and how this, coupled with staff shortages, is affecting the NHS's ability to conduct routine operations, out-patient services and diagnostics. Last week, the BMA Cymru members' survey found that one in five doctors in Wales has had to self-isolate from work because of COVID in the past two weeks, and they are calling for the Welsh Government to allow for FFP2 masks to be available for all front-line healthcare staff, and FFP3 masks to be available for all of those treating known COVID patients. So, First Minister, will you provide them?
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog. Fel y dywedoch chi, mae ysbytai dan straen aruthrol oherwydd yr amrywiolyn omicron o COVID-19. Mae Dr Phil Banfield, cadeirydd pwyllgor ymgynghorwyr Cymru Cymdeithas Feddygol Prydain, wedi disgrifio sut mae meddygon yn ofidus iawn ynghylch eu hanallu i asesu cleifion mewn adrannau achosion brys, ac y gallai nifer y bobl sy'n cael yr amrywiolyn hwn olygu y gallai hyd yn oed nifer fach ohonyn nhw sy'n cael eu derbyn i'r ysbyty wthio'r GIG yng Nghymru dros y dibyn. Ac mae hynny'n cyd-fynd â'r hyn y mae ymgynghorydd uned therapi dwys o fwrdd iechyd Aneurin Bevan wedi'i ddweud ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol am y niferoedd mawr o gleifion COVID, a sut mae hyn, ynghyd â phrinder staff, yn effeithio ar allu'r GIG i gynnal llawdriniaethau arferol, gwasanaethau cleifion allanol a diagnosteg. Yr wythnos diwethaf, canfu arolwg o aelodau BMA Cymru fod un o bob pump o feddygon yng Nghymru wedi gorfod hunanynysu o'r gwaith oherwydd COVID yn ystod y pythefnos diwethaf, ac maen nhw'n galw ar Lywodraeth Cymru i ganiatáu bod masgiau FFP2 ar gael i'r holl staff gofal iechyd rheng flaen, a bod masgiau FFP3 ar gael i bawb sy'n trin cleifion y mae'n hysbys eu bod yn dioddef o COVID. Felly, Prif Weinidog, a wnewch chi eu darparu nhw?
English: Well, Llywydd, the position on masks is this: that there is a national specialist group that advises the Government on the use of personal protective equipment, including higher grade masks. At the start of December, the chief nursing officer and the chief medical officer asked that committee for updated advice, looking at those masks in the context of the omicron variant. We follow their advice. Their advice is that those masks should not be made available everywhere, but, in the advice that they published, they drew to the attention of health boards in Wales the flexibility that health boards have to extend the use of such masks in clinical settings where a local judgment would assess them as being a part of the protections available to staff. And I notice that the number of those masks that have been provided by shared services in more recent weeks has gone up across Wales. And while that remains the advice of the expert committee, I think that is the advice we simply have to follow here in Wales - not universal use of them, but flexibility for local decision making and greater use of them where that is felt to be an important clinical safeguard.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, y sefyllfa ynghylch masgiau yw hyn: sef bod grŵp arbenigol cenedlaethol yn cynghori'r Llywodraeth ar ddefnyddio cyfarpar diogelu personol, gan gynnwys masgiau gradd uwch. Ar ddechrau mis Rhagfyr, gofynnodd y prif swyddog nyrsio a'r prif swyddog meddygol i'r pwyllgor hwnnw am gyngor wedi'i ddiweddaru, gan edrych ar y masgiau hynny yng nghyd-destun yr amrywiolyn omicron. Rydym yn dilyn eu cyngor. Eu cyngor nhw yw na ddylai'r masgiau hynny fod ar gael ym mhobman, ond, yn y cyngor a gyhoeddwyd ganddyn nhw, fe wnaethon nhw dynnu sylw byrddau iechyd yng Nghymru at yr hyblygrwydd sydd gan fyrddau iechyd i ymestyn y defnydd o fasgiau o'r fath mewn lleoliadau clinigol lle byddai dyfarniad lleol yn eu hasesu yn rhan o'r amddiffyniadau sydd ar gael i staff. Ac rwy'n sylwi bod nifer y masgiau hynny a ddarparwyd gan wasanaethau a rennir yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf wedi cynyddu ledled Cymru. Ac er mai dyna gyngor y pwyllgor arbenigol o hyd, rwy'n credu mai dyna'r cyngor y mae'n rhaid i ni ei ddilyn yma yng Nghymru - nid eu defnyddio'n gyffredinol, ond bod hyblygrwydd ar gyfer gwneud penderfyniadau lleol a'u defnyddio'n ehangach pan fo'r farn bod hynny'n fesur diogelu clinigol pwysig.
English: First Minister, there is great concern amongst residents in south-east Wales at the decision by the Aneurin Bevan health board to cut its services to the public due to staff shortages. Cuts include reducing hours at the minor injuries unit at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr, in spite of your Government encouraging patients to use these services instead of heading straight to the accident and emergency department at the Grange University Hospital. Whilst I sincerely recognise the effect of coronavirus, and particularly the omicron variant, on staffing levels, it is a fact that the NHS in Wales is seriously understaffed, as my able colleague just mentioned. It was revealed last year that there were 3,000 NHS Wales staff vacancies, with every A&E department in Wales failing to meet safe staffing levels. You did mention earlier, First Minister, that you have got plans in place, but I'd be really interested to know in a bit more depth and detail what action your Government is taking to address the serious staff shortage in the NHS and the failure to safely staff A&E departments across south-east Wales. Thank you.
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, mae pryder mawr ymhlith trigolion y de-ddwyrain ynghylch penderfyniad bwrdd iechyd Aneurin Bevan i dorri ei wasanaethau i'r cyhoedd oherwydd prinder staff. Mae'r toriadau'n cynnwys lleihau oriau yn yr uned mân anafiadau yn Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr, er gwaethaf anogaeth eich Llywodraeth i gleifion ddefnyddio'r gwasanaethau hyn yn hytrach na mynd yn syth i'r adran damweiniau ac achosion brys yn Ysbyty Athrofaol y Faenor. Er fy mod yn cydnabod yn ddiffuant effaith y coronafeirws, ac yn enwedig yr amrywiolyn omicron, ar lefelau staffio, mae'n ffaith nad oes digon o staff yn y GIG yng Nghymru, fel y soniodd fy nghyd-Aelod abl. Datgelwyd y llynedd fod 3,000 o swyddi gwag staff GIG Cymru, a phob adran damweiniau ac achosion brys yng Nghymru yn methu â chyrraedd lefelau staffio diogel. Sonioch chi'n gynharach, Prif Weinidog, fod gennych chi gynlluniau ar waith, ond byddai gennyf i ddiddordeb mawr mewn cael mwy o fanylion o lawer ynghylch pa gamau y mae eich Llywodraeth yn eu cymryd i fynd i'r afael â'r prinder staff difrifol yn y GIG a'r methiant wrth staffio adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys yn ddiogel ar draws de-ddwyrain Cymru. Diolch.
English: Well, first of all, Llywydd, I have to take issue with the last remark. Staffing levels in A&E departments in Wales, at their complement level, are not unsafe - of course they're not; they meet the different royal college requirements. Now, at the moment, because of the omicron variant, we have significant proportions of staff in the NHS, and other public services in Wales, unable to be in the workplace. Aneurin Bevan itself has over 1,300 members of its staff either directly ill with the omicron variant or self-isolating because they've been in contact with it. There are nearly 10,000 staff across the whole of NHS Wales affected in that way. And, as hard as the service works to try to make sure that it protects essential services, and that people who are in the most clinically urgent position get the service they need, it is impossible to imagine that a service that has thousands of people unable to be in work because of a global pandemic can carry on as though that were not happening. So, I think the anxieties that people in Wales have are at how we can act together to protect ourselves and those staff from the wave of coronavirus that is passing through Wales. And I commend the staff in our NHS for everything that they are doing - the enormous strains they are under, to do everything they can, despite those difficulties, to go on providing a service day in, day out to patients in south-east Wales and across the whole of our nation.
Welsh: Wel, yn gyntaf oll, Llywydd, mae'n rhaid imi anghytuno â'r sylw diwethaf. Nid yw lefelau staffio mewn adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys yng Nghymru, ar eu lefelau llawn, yn anniogel - wrth gwrs nad ydyn nhw; maen nhw'n bodloni gofynion gwahanol y coleg brenhinol. Nawr, ar hyn o bryd, oherwydd yr amrywiolyn omicron, mae gennym gyfrannau sylweddol o staff yn y GIG, a gwasanaethau cyhoeddus eraill yng Nghymru, nad ydyn nhw'n gallu bod yn y gweithle. Mae gan Aneurin Bevan ei hun dros 1,300 o aelodau o'i staff naill ai'n uniongyrchol wael gyda'r amrywiolyn omicron neu'n hunanynysu am iddynt fod mewn cysylltiad ag ef. Effeithiwyd ar bron i 10,000 o staff ar draws GIG Cymru gyfan yn y ffordd honno. Ac, er mor galed y mae'r gwasanaeth yn gweithio i geisio sicrhau ei fod yn diogelu gwasanaethau hanfodol, a bod pobl sydd yn y sefyllfa fwyaf brys yn glinigol yn cael y gwasanaeth sydd ei angen arnyn nhw, mae'n amhosibl dychmygu sut y gall gwasanaeth sydd â miloedd o bobl sy'n methu â bod yn y gwaith oherwydd pandemig byd-eang barhau fel pe na bai hynny'n digwydd. Felly, rwy'n credu mai'r pryderon sydd gan bobl yng Nghymru yw sut y gallwn ni weithredu gyda'n gilydd i amddiffyn ein hunain a'r staff hynny rhag y don o'r coronafeirws sydd ar ei hynt drwy Gymru. Ac rwy'n cymeradwyo'r staff yn ein GIG am bopeth y maen nhw yn ei wneud - y straen enfawr sydd arnyn nhw, i wneud popeth y gallan nhw, er gwaethaf yr anawsterau hynny, i fynd ymlaen i ddarparu gwasanaeth ddydd ar ôl dydd i gleifion yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru ac ar draws ein cenedl gyfan.
English: First Minister, one of the fundamental tasks of any government is to protect lives and ensure the public health of its citizens, and the Welsh Government has prioritised keeping Wales safe during this global pandemic. With the omicron wave that engulfed us, public health measures were required, and we see encouraging signs, with the infection rate falling for two days in a row. First Minister, I have received representations from hospitality businesses in Islwyn, clearly concerned about the loss of business that they're currently suffering from. What representations has the Welsh Government made to the UK Government Treasury for further financial aid to Welsh businesses that have been impacted by the current necessary public health measures taken in Wales? And, First Minister, will you clarify that you and your Ministers will continue to monitor the situation daily and ensure that the needs of our NHS, our economy, and the public health of the people of Wales are balanced, delivering the best possible outcomes during this hugely challenging time?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, un o dasgau sylfaenol unrhyw lywodraeth yw diogelu bywydau a sicrhau iechyd cyhoeddus ei dinasyddion, ac mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi blaenoriaethu cadw Cymru'n ddiogel yn ystod y pandemig byd-eang hwn. Gyda'r don omicron a ddaeth drosom ni, roedd angen mesurau iechyd y cyhoedd, a gwelwn arwyddion calonogol, gyda'r gyfradd heintio yn gostwng dros ddau ddiwrnod yn olynol. Prif Weinidog, rwyf wedi cael sylwadau gan fusnesau lletygarwch yn Islwyn, sy'n amlwg yn pryderu am golli busnes y maen nhw'n ei ddioddef ar hyn o bryd. Pa sylwadau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'u cyflwyno i Drysorlys Llywodraeth y DU ynghylch cymorth ariannol pellach i fusnesau yng Nghymru y mae'r mesurau iechyd cyhoeddus angenrheidiol presennol a gymerwyd yng Nghymru wedi effeithio arnyn nhw? A, Prif Weinidog, a wnewch chi ei gwneud hi'n glir y byddwch chi a'ch Gweinidogion yn parhau i fonitro'r sefyllfa bob dydd ac yn sicrhau bod anghenion ein GIG, ein heconomi, ac iechyd cyhoeddus pobl Cymru yn gytbwys, gan sicrhau'r canlyniadau gorau posibl yn ystod y cyfnod heriol iawn hwn?
English: Thank you. Llywydd, the most significant recent steps to alleviate pressure on the health service this winter are the vaccination booster campaign and the preventative measures taken to mitigate the impact of the omicron wave of coronavirus.
Welsh: Diolch. Llywydd, y camau diweddaraf mwyaf arwyddocaol i helpu codi'r pwysau ar y gwasanaeth iechyd y gaeaf hwn yw'r ymgyrch brechiadau atgyfnerthu a'r mesurau atal i leihau effaith ton omicron o'r coronafeirws.
English: Thank you, First Minister. Over the past week, three people in my region have contacted me regarding problems they faced in getting an ambulance for a neighbour or a member of the family. In one case, the individual was suffering a heart attack and her neighbour was told that an ambulance wasn't available for up to six hours and that they needed to find an alternative way of getting her to hospital. The phone was put down on her, as she was told that there were more calls coming through, leaving the neighbour to phone around to try and find somebody to take that individual to hospital. Fortunately, they managed to find a lift, and the individual did receive urgent treatment and she is now recovering at home. But it would have been a very different story if someone hadn't been available to take her to hospital. What support is being given by the Welsh Government to the ambulance service and our hospitals in order to ensure that services are available to take people in critical need to hospitals, particularly in areas where car ownership is not high and public transport or taxis aren't easily available?
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog. Dros yr wythnos diwethaf, mae tri o bobl yn fy rhanbarth wedi cysylltu â mi ynglŷn â phroblemau yr oeddent wedi wynebu yn cael ambiwlans i gymydog neu aelod o'r teulu. Mewn un achos, roedd y person yn cael trawiad ar y galon ac fe ddywedwyd wrth ei chymydog nad oedd ambiwlans am hyd at chwe awr a bod angen canfod ffordd amgen i'w chael i'r ysbyty. Fe roddwyd y ffôn i lawr arni gan ddweud bod mwy o alwadau ffôn yn dod drwyddo, gan adael i'r cymydog orfod ffonio o gwmpas i geisio canfod rhywun i fynd â'r person i'r ysbyty. Wrth lwc, llwyddwyd i gael lifft, ac fe gafodd y person driniaeth frys ac mae hi bellach gartref yn gwella. Ond byddai wedi bod yn stori wahanol iawn pe na byddai rhywun wedi bod ar gael i fynd â hi. Pa gefnogaeth sydd yn cael ei rhoddi gan Lywodraeth Cymru i'r gwasanaeth ambiwlans a'n hysbytai i sicrhau bod gwasanaeth ar gael i fynd â phobl mewn sefyllfa argyfyngus i'r ysbyty, yn arbennig mewn ardaloedd lle nad oes canran uchel o berchnogaeth ar geir na thrafnidiaeth gyhoeddus neu dacsis ar gael yn rhwydd?
