English: Well, Cabinet Secretary, I am pleased that the Welsh Conservative debate of last week has had such a galvanising effect on you, because this statement does actually pretty much cover most of the requirements that we put forward, or suggestions, for what we might do to improve GP recruitment in Wales. I do, however, have a couple of questions to ask you. Let me make it clear that I really welcome this, but I want to ask: did you do a lessons-learned exercise from the previous GP recruitment programme? I think it was in 2012 or 2014; I can't remember, to be honest, which of those two years it was, but I know that it didn't have a great take-up, because I think that would be really useful to make sure that we've covered all bases. And yet, as you say, you're going to target medical students yet to choose a speciality. Will this also involve you working with the deanery to try to ensure that GP practice is part of the rotation of a junior doctor? Because I do think that this is absolutely critical in getting young doctors interested in, and involved in, the complexities of general practice and realising it can be a really fulfilling way forward. I'm very pleased to see that, you know, you've taken on board the fact that we've got to attract the doctors and their families, but how would that translate in real terms? What do you think we might be able to do, or your Government might be able to do, to ensure that a doctor's partner would be able to also find work at the kind of professions that they might want to work in here in Wales, particularly when we move further away from the capitals of, you know, Swansea, Cardiff and, in fact, north Wales and into the more rural areas? It's tougher to get jobs full stop, let alone the kind of jobs that a partner may want to go for. Have you addressed in this, in your recruitment programme, the concerns over buying into difficult or struggling practices? I've really taken on board your point about the professional indemnity, and you talk about addressing the concerns of those delivering services every day, so that Wales becomes a country of choice. Well, of course, we need to also look at the costs of buying into a practice and the standard of the infrastructure that people might be buying into. So, will you be looking at that? Are you going to be addressing the take-home pay differential between doctors in Wales and doctors in England? I mean, England has typically - . Their take-home pay is about 10 per cent higher, and I wonder if that has any factor, and I wonder if you're going to have a look at that. I wonder who is going to be paying for this recruitment programme. Could you give us some indication? Have you put aside funds for it, because, given the current combined deficit of all the local health boards is some £78 million, I wondered if they are funding the recruitment programme in their areas, or if this is something that Welsh Government intends to fund, or are you going to be then defraying the costs back out again? I was very interested to see your comment about your working with the Wales Deanery to develop a potential incentive scheme as part of a wider package to support areas of Wales that face particular challenges to fulfil GPs. Now, a lot of that has got to be rural areas, and I just wonder if you could expand on that a little bit more because, as you know, particularly in west Wales, we are suffering from a chronic shortage of GPs, and I'd just be interested to understand that. Then, finally, I was delighted to see that you picked up that the next phase will address the challenges faced by other primary care professions. I think I've said this now about three times, and I'm going to say it for a fourth: 30 per cent of nurses in general practice in Hywel Dda alone intend to leave within the next five years, so I think we've got quite a big issue coming downstream, and I wonder whether you can just give us an indication of when that next phase might start, because we need to try and put, obviously, people in place or in training before we actually get to the point where we are in trouble. I'm sorry, Presiding Officer - there is actually one more question, which is: do you anticipate raising or increasing within a short time period, and seeking to raise, the number of training places available in Wales? I think you alluded to it when you answered Rhun, but I would be really interested in knowing whether that is one of your ambitions, and if so, how long might it take to deliver that?
Welsh: Wel, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, rwy'n falch bod dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yr wythnos diwethaf wedi cael effaith mor ysgogol arnoch, oherwydd mae'r datganiad hwn mewn gwirionedd yn sôn am y rhan fwyaf o'r gofynion a gyflwynwyd gennym, neu awgrymiadau, ar gyfer yr hyn y gallem ei wneud i wella recriwtio meddygon teulu yng Nghymru. Mae gennyf, fodd bynnag, un neu ddau o gwestiynau i'w gofyn ichi. Gadewch imi ei gwneud yn glir fy mod wir yn croesawu hyn, ond hoffwn ofyn: a wnaethoch chi gynnal ymarfer gwersi a ddysgwyd o'r rhaglen recriwtio meddygon teulu flaenorol? Rwy'n meddwl mai 2012 neu 2014 ydoedd; ni allaf gofio, a bod yn onest, pa un o'r ddwy flynedd hynny oedd hi, ond rwy'n gwybod nad oedd y niferoedd yn dda iawn, oherwydd rwy'n meddwl y byddai hynny'n ddefnyddiol iawn i wneud yn siŵr ein bod wedi rhoi sylw i bopeth. Ac eto, fel y dywedwch, rydych yn mynd i dargedu myfyrwyr meddygol nad ydynt wedi dewis arbenigedd eto. A fydd hyn hefyd yn golygu y byddwch chi'n gweithio gyda'r ddeoniaeth i geisio sicrhau bod meddygfeydd teulu yn rhan o gylchdro meddyg iau? Oherwydd rwyf yn meddwl bod hyn yn gwbl hanfodol o ran ennyn diddordeb meddygon ifanc yng nghymhlethdodau meddygfeydd teulu, a rhoi cyfle iddynt gymryd rhan yn hynny, a sylweddoli y gall hynny fod yn ffordd werth chweil ymlaen. Rwy'n falch iawn o weld, wyddoch chi, eich bod wedi derbyn y ffaith bod yn rhaid inni ddenu'r meddygon a'u teuluoedd, ond beth fyddai hynny'n ei olygu mewn termau real? Beth ydych chi'n feddwl y gallem ni ei wneud, neu y gallai eich Llywodraeth chi ei wneud, i sicrhau y byddai partner meddyg hefyd yn gallu dod o hyd i waith yn y math o broffesiynau yr hoffai weithio ynddynt yma yng Nghymru, yn enwedig wrth inni symud ymhellach i ffwrdd oddi wrth brif ddinasoedd, wyddoch chi, Abertawe, Caerdydd ac, yn wir, y gogledd ac i mewn i'r ardaloedd mwy gwledig? Mae'n anoddach cael swyddi yn gyffredinol, heb sôn am y math o swyddi y gallai partner fod yn dymuno mynd amdanynt. A ydych chi wedi sôn, yn hyn, yn eich rhaglen recriwtio, am y pryderon ynghylch prynu i mewn i feddygfeydd anodd neu rai sy'n cael anawsterau? Rwyf wir wedi derbyn eich pwynt am yr indemniad proffesiynol, ac rydych chi'n sôn am ymdrin â phryderon pobl sy'n darparu gwasanaethau bob dydd, fel bod Cymru yn dod yn wlad o ddewis. Wel, wrth gwrs, mae angen inni hefyd edrych ar gostau prynu i mewn i feddygfa a safon y seilwaith y gallai pobl fod yn prynu i mewn iddo. Felly, a fyddwch chi'n edrych ar hynny? A fyddwch chi'n rhoi sylw i'r gwahaniaeth rhwng cyflog ar ôl treth meddygon yng Nghymru a meddygon yn Lloegr? Hynny yw, yn nodweddiadol yn Lloegr - . Mae eu cyflog ar ôl treth tua 10 y cant yn uwch, ac rwy'n meddwl tybed a yw hynny'n ffactor, a tybed a ydych chi'n mynd i gael golwg ar hynny. Tybed pwy fydd yn talu am y rhaglen recriwtio hon. A allech chi roi rhyw syniad inni? A ydych chi wedi rhoi arian o'r neilltu ar ei chyfer, oherwydd, o ystyried bod diffyg cyfunol presennol yr holl fyrddau iechyd lleol tua £78 miliwn, rwy'n meddwl tybed a ydynt yn ariannu'r rhaglen recriwtio yn eu hardaloedd, ynteu a yw hyn yn rhywbeth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n bwriadu ei ariannu, ynteu a fyddwch yna'n ad-dalu'r costau yn ôl allan eto? Roedd gennyf ddiddordeb mawr mewn gweld eich sylwadau am eich gwaith gyda Deoniaeth Cymru i ddatblygu cynllun cymhelliant potensial yn rhan o becyn ehangach i gefnogi ardaloedd o Gymru sy'n wynebu heriau penodol i ddarparu meddygon teulu. Nawr, mae'n rhaid mai ardaloedd gwledig yw llawer o hynny, ac roeddwn i'n meddwl tybed a allech chi ymhelaethu ychydig mwy ar hynny oherwydd, fel y gwyddoch, yn enwedig yn y gorllewin, rydym yn dioddef prinder difrifol o feddygon teulu, a byddai gennyf ddiddordeb mewn deall hynny. Yna, yn olaf, roeddwn yn falch iawn o weld eich bod wedi sôn am y ffaith y bydd y cam nesaf yn ymdrin â'r heriau sy'n wynebu proffesiynau gofal sylfaenol eraill. Rwy'n meddwl fy mod wedi dweud hyn nawr tua tair gwaith, ac rwy'n mynd i'w ddweud am y bedwaredd tro: mae 30 y cant o'r nyrsys mewn ymarfer cyffredinol dim ond yn Hywel Dda yn bwriadu gadael o fewn y pum mlynedd nesaf, felly rwy'n meddwl bod gennym broblem tra sylweddol ar y ffordd, a tybed a allwch chi roi rhyw syniad inni pryd y gallai'r cam nesaf hwnnw ddechrau, oherwydd mae angen inni geisio rhoi, yn amlwg, pobl ar waith neu mewn hyfforddiant cyn inni gyrraedd y pwynt lle'r ydym mewn trafferth wirioneddol. Mae'n ddrwg gen i, Lywydd - mae un cwestiwn arall a dweud y gwir, sef: a ydych chi'n rhagweld codi neu gynyddu o fewn cyfnod byr, a cheisio codi, nifer y lleoedd hyfforddi sydd ar gael yng Nghymru? Rwy'n meddwl eich bod wedi cyfeirio at hynny wrth ateb Rhun, ond byddai gennyf ddiddordeb mawr mewn gwybod a yw hynny'n un o'ch uchelgeisiau, ac os ydyw, pa mor hir y gallai gymryd i gyflawni hynny?
