English: I think how quiet the Chamber is this afternoon in listening to this says it all. The stories and the report are very difficult to listen to, to read, and I know that many of you will have met many of these parents and the families and will have heard from them and know just how emotional it all is. I should also declare at the outset my own son was born in the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and that I received an apology following the appalling experience that we had at the hospital. This was back in 2013, and seeing that the lessons haven't been learned following that complaint is something that stays with me, too. Luckily, he is now eight years old, but everyone is reading this report and thinking how things could have been different, and I don't think anyone could fail to be impacted by the stories of those parents. Once again, we've heard about grave failings in terms of the care received within Cwm Taf Morgannwg. It's a difficult day for the parents affected by these failings and it's right that the Minister has apologised, but we must emphasise, as you said, that there are no words that can bring those who are lost back or diminish the loss felt. From the beginning of this scandal, Plaid Cymru has been calling for broad-ranging reviews into what's happened, and we welcome the announcement of this further report today. We've always emphasised that it's important that the review looks at why so many babies died in such a short period of time. The new report published today, as has already been mentioned, shows that one in three of the stillbirths could have been avoided were it not for serious deficiencies in care, and this is frightening. And for me, it's not just that statistic in terms of the third of babies who could have survived, but the fact that, in 37 further cases, the review suggested that one or more minor errors could have happened, although it's unlikely that these could have led to a different outcome - but it's unlikely, not impossible - and only in four cases did the experts come to the view that nothing could have been done differently. Although the health board and the Government welcomed the conclusions, it's clear that more needs to be done. Yes, this is an emotional topic for many people. The news has reopened a number of wounds for parents, and it's impossible to overemphasise the pain, the hurt and the anxiety caused to every one of these families affected by this scandal and that remains the case. This isn't something that happened in the past; people will be living with this for the rest of their lives. The best possible outcome would be for the Government and the health board to implement the recommendations of these reports in order to ensure that these failings never happen again. And there are a number of questions in terms of accountability that remain unanswered, even with the publication of this report. The report and the statement placed a great deal of emphasis on the improvements and the learning that's taken place, but we also need accountability. And can the Minister say with hand on heart that there's been accountability in terms of this scandal, given that many of the previous leaders within the health board had been given large payoffs when they left and they continue to work in health now, perhaps at a different health board, whilst those who have suffered bereavement are left with nothing? Where is the accountability, Minister?
Welsh: Dwi'n meddwl ei bod yn dweud y cyfan pa mor fud yw'r Siambr y prynhawn yma yn gwrando ar hyn. Mae'r straeon a'r adroddiad yn anodd iawn i'w clywed, i'w darllen, a dwi'n gwybod bod nifer ohonoch chi hefyd wedi cyfarfod nifer o'r rhieni yma a'u teuluoedd a chlywed ganddyn nhw, a pha mor emosiynol ydy o. Efallai y dylwn i hefyd ddatgan ar y dechrau fod fy mab fy hun wedi ei eni yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg a fy mod i wedi derbyn ymddiheuriad yn sgil y profiad echrydus dderbyniodd y ddau ohonon ni. Mi oedd hyn yn 2013, ac mae gweld bod y gwersi, efallai, heb eu dysgu o'r gŵyn honno yn rhywbeth sy'n aros efo finnau hefyd. Wrth lwc, mae o bellach yn wyth oed, ond mae pawb yn darllen yr adroddiad hwn a meddwl sut y gallai pethau fod wedi bod yn wahanol, a dwi ddim yn meddwl byddai unrhyw un yn gallu peidio â chael eu heffeithio gan straeon y rhieni hynny. Unwaith eto, rydyn ni wedi clywed am fethiannau difrifol o ran y gofal a dderbyniwyd yn Cwm Taf Morgannwg. Mae'n ddiwrnod anodd i'r rhieni gafodd eu heffeithio gan y methiannau hyn ac mae'n iawn bod y Gweinidog wedi ymddiheuro am hyn, ond mae'n rhaid pwysleisio, fel dywedoch chi, does yna ddim geiriau all ddod â'r rhai a gollwyd yn ôl na lleihau'r golled. O ddechrau'r sgandal hon, mae Plaid Cymru wedi galw am adolygiadau eang i'r hyn sydd wedi digwydd, ac rydym yn croesawu cyhoeddi'r adroddiad arall yma heddiw. Rydyn ni bob amser wedi pwysleisio ei bod yn bwysig bod yr adolygiad yn ymchwilio pam fod cymaint o fabanod wedi marw mewn cyfnod mor fyr. Mae'r adroddiad newydd sydd wedi'i gyhoeddi heddiw, fel sydd wedi cael ei ddweud, yn dangos bod un o bob tri o fabanod gafodd eu geni'n farw, buasen nhw wedi gallu goroesi heblaw am gamgymeriadau difrifol yn eu gofal, ac mae hyn yn frawychus dros ben. Ac i mi hefyd, nid dim ond yr ystadegyn hwnnw o ran y traean o blant a allai fod yn dal efo ni rŵan, ond y ffaith, mewn 37 achos pellach, fod yr adolygiad yn awgrymu y gallai un neu ragor o gamgymeriadau bach fod wedi digwydd, er y mae'n annhebygol y gallai'r rhain fod wedi arwain at ganlyniad gwahanol - ond annhebygol, nid yn bendant - a dim ond mewn pedwar achos y daeth yr arbenigwyr i'r casgliad na ddylid wedi gwneud unrhyw beth yn wahanol. Er bod y bwrdd iechyd a'r Llywodraeth yn croesawu'r casgliadau, mae'n amlwg bod mwy sydd angen ei wneud. Ydy, mae hwn yn bwnc emosiynol i nifer o bobl. Mae'r newyddion wedi ailagor nifer o greithiau emosiynol i rieni; nid yw'n bosibl gorbwysleisio'r boen, y brifo, y niwed a'r gofid sydd wedi'i achosi i bob un o'r teuluoedd y mae'r sgandal hon wedi effeithio arnynt ac mae hynny'n parhau. Nid rhywbeth sydd wedi digwydd yn y gorffennol ydy hyn; mae pobl yn mynd i fod yn byw efo fo am weddill eu bywydau. Y canlyniad gorau posib fyddai i'r Llywodraeth a'r bwrdd iechyd weithredu'r argymhellion o'r adroddiadau hyn er mwyn sicrhau na fydd y methiannau byth yn digwydd eto. Ac mae yna nifer o gwestiynau, dwi'n tybio, o ran atebolrwydd sydd yn dal i fod angen eu hateb, hyd yn oed gyda chyhoeddi'r adroddiad hwn. Mi roddodd yr adroddiad a'r datganiad lawer o bwyslais ar y gwelliannau a'r dysgu sydd wedi digwydd, ond mae'n rhaid hefyd cael atebolrwydd. Ac a all y Gweinidog ddweud â'i llaw ar ei chalon fod atebolrwydd wedi bod o ran y sgandal hon, o ystyried bod nifer o'r arweinyddion blaenorol o ran y bwrdd iechyd wedi cael taliadau mawr wrth adael a'u bod nhw'n parhau i weithio yn y maes iechyd rŵan, efallai mewn bwrdd iechyd gwahanol, tra bod y rhai sydd wedi dioddef profedigaeth wedi cael eu gadael heb ddim? Ble mae'r atebolrwydd, Weinidog?
