English: Well, Llywydd, I take full responsibility for everything that I did and decided when I was health Minister, in the many, many questions that I was asked on the floor of this Senedd and answered at the time. I visited the Hergest unit while I was the health Minister, partly in response to the correspondence that I was receiving about it. I found a beleaguered but very committed staff, determined every day to try to make a difference in the lives of those people whose illness required in-patient mental health attention. Those people were determined, despite all the criticism, to come into work every day to do their best, and that's what I think happens every day, ever since, by those people who provide those services in north Wales. The Member, as ever, has never a good word to say for anybody who works for the health service - [ Interruption.] Well, I haven't heard a good word said yet. We'll see if he can manage one now. Those people deserve support from people in this Chamber, not asking what we are going to do to conduct some sort of retrospective trawl to see who can be held to blame. My belief is that, with the new management of the health service in north Wales - . And I had an opportunity, Llywydd, yesterday to discuss with the chair of the health board, the new chief executive and the person in charge of mental health services the plans they have to go on building on the improvements that they have been able to bring about. Many further improvements are necessary, all of that recognised by the people responsible on the ground, but looking ahead to build from that, to make sure that the services provided to people in north Wales are of a quality and a standard and of a consistency that they would wish to see.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, rwy'n cymryd cyfrifoldeb llawn am bopeth a wnes i ac a benderfynais i pan oeddwn i'n Weinidog iechyd, yn y llawer iawn o gwestiynau a ofynnwyd i mi ar lawr y Senedd hon ac a atebais ar y pryd. Ymwelais ag uned Hergest pan oeddwn i'n Weinidog iechyd, yn rhannol mewn ymateb i'r ohebiaeth yr oeddwn i'n ei chael yn ei chylch. Gwelais staff dan warchae ond ymroddedig iawn, yn benderfynol bob dydd i geisio gwneud gwahaniaeth ym mywydau'r bobl hynny yr oedd eu salwch yn gofyn am sylw iechyd meddwl cleifion mewnol. Roedd y bobl hynny yn benderfynol, er gwaethaf yr holl feirniadaeth, i ddod i'r gwaith bob dydd i wneud eu gorau, a dyna yr wyf i'n credu sy'n digwydd bob dydd, byth ers hynny, gan y bobl hynny sy'n darparu'r gwasanaethau hynny yn y gogledd. Nid oes gan yr Aelod, fel erioed, byth air da i'w ddweud dros unrhyw un sy'n gweithio i'r gwasanaeth iechyd - [ Torri ar draws.] Wel, nid wyf i wedi clywed gair da yn cael ei ddweud eto. Cawn weld a yw'n gallu dod o hyd i un nawr. Mae'r bobl hynny yn haeddu cefnogaeth gan bobl yn y Siambr hon, nid gofyn beth rydym ni'n mynd i'w wneud i gynnal rhyw fath o ymchwiliad ôl-weithredol i weld pwy y gellir rhoi'r bai arno. Fy nghred i yw, gyda rheolaeth newydd y gwasanaeth iechyd yn y gogledd - . A chefais gyfle ddoe, Llywydd, i drafod gyda chadeirydd y bwrdd iechyd, y prif weithredwr newydd a'r person sy'n gyfrifol am wasanaethau iechyd meddwl y cynlluniau sydd ganddyn nhw i barhau i ddatblygu ar y gwelliannau y maen nhw wedi gallu eu cyflawni. Mae angen llawer o welliannau pellach, ac mae hynny i gyd yn cael ei gydnabod gan y bobl sy'n gyfrifol ar lawr gwlad, ond wrth edrych ymlaen i adeiladu o hynny, i wneud yn siŵr bod y gwasanaethau sy'n cael eu darparu i bobl yn y gogledd o ansawdd ac o safon ac o gysondeb y bydden nhw'n dymuno eu gweld.
