English: On Professor Purt, we were completely clear about the secondment arrangement for him to leave the health service in Wales. He is now no longer part of the service. We are absolutely transparent about the arrangement for him to leave, including the financial measures that took place with that. In terms of your comment that members of Betsi Cadwaladr health board have not been paid a single penny, I assume that you don't mean the members of staff who work for Betsi Cadwaladr, but that you're talking about the independent members who are appointed. Well, they are still undertaking a role - they're still acting - and if I took the decision that they should not be paid, I should actually just simply remove them rather than simply saying, 'I'm going to punish you by effectively taking a disciplinary measure to remove the moneys that you're entitled to in undertaking this public appointment'. I think it's really important that, in properly holding people to account, we don't look for easy or headline-grabbing measures to try and say, 'This is what we should or must do'. For me, the most important thing is that the health board improves. You do need members there who are committed to providing the scrutiny that wasn't undertaken to the level that we'd want it to in the past. We've seen a review of people; we've seen actually a renewal of people as independent members on that health board. We've seen new executive members come in, so there are new leadership arrangements in place within the health board: a new executive nurse director, a new medical director and a new chief executive officer as well. So, it's really important to understand that the leadership has moved on from the time when the organisation went into special measures. For me, it must always be: are we seeing progress being made? Are we getting the independent reassurance from regulators that real progress is being made, and what are the continuing channels that we need to see resolved within Betsi Cadwladr? Because that, for me, is the most important thing, because I want people living in north Wales to have the same high-quality health service that I believe that every citizen in any part of Wales in entitled to.
Welsh: O ran yr Athro Purt, roeddem yn gwbl glir ynglŷn â'r trefniant secondiad iddo adael y gwasanaeth iechyd yng Nghymru. Nid yw'n rhan o'r gwasanaeth bellach. Rydym yn gwbl dryloyw ynghylch y trefniant iddo adael, gan gynnwys y mesurau ariannol ynghlwm wrth hynny. O ran eich sylwadau nad yw aelodau bwrdd iechyd Betsi Cadwaladr wedi derbyn ceiniog, rwy'n cymryd nad ydych yn golygu aelodau staff sy'n gweithio i Betsi Cadwaladr, ond eich bod yn sôn am yr aelodau annibynnol sy'n cael eu penodi. Wel, maent yn dal i gyflawni rôl - maent yn dal i weithredu - a phe bawn yn penderfynu na ddylent gael eu talu, byddwn yn cael gwared arnynt yn hytrach na dweud, 'Rwy'n mynd i'ch cosbi drwy gymryd camau disgyblu i bob pwrpas er mwyn diddymu'r arian y mae gennych hawl i'w dderbyn wrth gyflawni'r penodiad cyhoeddus hwn'. Credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn, wrth ddwyn pobl i gyfrif yn briodol, nad ydym yn edrych am fesurau hawdd neu rai sy'n bachu'r penawdau a cheisio dweud, 'Dyma beth y dylem ei wneud neu dyma beth sy'n rhaid i ni ei wneud'. I mi, y peth pwysicaf yw bod y bwrdd iechyd yn gwella. Mae angen aelodau yno sydd wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu'r craffu nad oedd yn cael ei wneud yn y gorffennol i'r graddau y byddem yn dymuno'i weld. Rydym wedi gweld pobl yn cael eu hadolygu; rydym wedi gweld pobl newydd yn cael eu penodi fel aelodau annibynnol ar y bwrdd iechyd hwnnw. Rydym wedi gweld aelodau gweithredol newydd yn dod i mewn, felly mae trefniadau arwain newydd ar waith o fewn y bwrdd iechyd: cyfarwyddwr gweithredol nyrsio newydd, cyfarwyddwr meddygol newydd, yn ogystal â phrif swyddog gweithredol newydd. Felly, mae'n bwysig deall bod yr arweinyddiaeth wedi symud ymlaen o'r adeg pan wnaed y sefydliad yn destun mesurau arbennig. I mi, rhaid i hyn bob amser ymwneud â'r cwestiwn: a ydym yn gweld cynnydd yn cael ei wneud? A ydym yn cael sicrwydd annibynnol gan reoleiddwyr fod cynnydd gwirioneddol yn cael ei wneud, a beth yw'r heriau parhaus y mae angen i ni eu gweld yn cael eu datrys ym mwrdd iechyd Betsi Cadwaladr? Oherwydd hynny, i mi, yw'r peth pwysicaf, gan fy mod am i bobl sy'n byw yng ngogledd Cymru dderbyn gwasanaeth iechyd o'r un ansawdd uchel ag y credaf fod pob dinesydd yn unrhyw ran o Gymru yn ei haeddu.
