English: I thank the Member for that. I think it is important in recognising that there are genuine challenges in NHS dentistry in some parts of Wales, that we also recognise what has been achieved. There are 40,000 more people receiving NHS dental treatment in Wales today than there were five years ago. In 2014, we had 1,439 dentists working in the NHS in Wales. Today, we have over 1,500 dentists working in the NHS in Wales, and as I said in my original answer, the percentage of children accessing NHS dentistry in Wales is at an all-time high. Now, there are parts of Wales where that is a bigger challenge. One of the reasons why it is a bigger challenge, thinking of Gareth Bennett's referral to the impact of Brexit on NHS staff, is exactly that: 30 per cent of NHS dental care in the United Kingdom is provided by EU nationals. Those people are not being recruited in the way they were because of the Brexit chill, and that has caused a particular impact on some of the big dental corporates in Wales, finding that they're not able to recruit dentists from overseas as they were once able to do. But, we are training dentists in Wales. We train every year an extra 75 to 80 dentists, but there is a challenge for the profession here as well. The reform of the contract should mean less time spent doing routine work that doesn't have a clinical benefit freeing up time to do more things that you need somebody with the skills of a dentist to do. And we need to see liberalisation of the profession. We have far too many dentists in Wales carrying out routine fillings and dental checks, which you just don't need somebody with a highly-trained capacity of a dentist to do. We need the dental profession to follow the primary care medical profession in Wales in liberalising the number of people and the types of professions able to provide NHS dentistry, and then, we will be able to use those scarce skills to full clinical impact and to provide a greater level of access to NHS dentistry.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am hynna. Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig wrth gydnabod bod heriau gwirioneddol ym maes deintyddiaeth y GIG mewn rhai rhannau o Gymru, ein bod ni hefyd yn cydnabod yr hyn a gyflawnwyd. Mae 40,000 yn fwy o bobl yn cael triniaeth ddeintyddol y GIG yng Nghymru heddiw nag yr oedd bum mlynedd yn ôl. Yn 2014, roedd gennym ni 1,439 o ddeintyddion yn gweithio yn y GIG yng Nghymru. Heddiw, mae gennym ni dros 1,500 o ddeintyddion yn gweithio yn y GIG yng Nghymru, ac fel y dywedais yn fy ateb gwreiddiol, mae canran y plant sy'n manteisio ar ddeintyddiaeth y GIG yng Nghymru ar y lefel uchaf erioed. Nawr, ceir rhannau o Gymru lle mae honno'n her fwy. Un o'r rhesymau pam mae'n her fwy, gan feddwl am gyfeiriad Gareth Bennett at effaith Brexit ar staff GIG, yw'n union hynny: darperir 30 y cant o ofal deintyddol y GIG yn y Deyrnas Unedig gan wladolion yr UE. Nid yw'r bobl hynny'n cael eu recriwtio yn y ffordd yr oedden nhw oherwydd oerfel Brexit, ac mae hynny wedi achosi effaith benodol ar rai o'r cwmnïau deintyddol mawr yng Nghymru, sy'n canfod nad ydyn nhw'n gallu recriwtio deintyddion o dramor fel yr oedden nhw yn gallu ei wneud ar un adeg. Ond, rydym ni yn hyfforddi deintyddion yng Nghymru. Rydym ni'n hyfforddi 75 i 80 o ddeintyddion ychwanegol bob blwyddyn, ond ceir her i'r proffesiwn yma hefyd. Dylai diwygio'r contract olygu treulio llai o amser yn gwneud gwaith mater o drefn nad oes unrhyw fudd clinigol iddo gan ryddhau amser i wneud mwy o bethau yr ydych chi angen rhywun â sgiliau deintydd i'w gwneud. Ac mae angen i ni weld y proffesiwn yn cael ei ystwytho. Mae gennym ni lawer gormod o ddeintyddion yng Nghymru sy'n darparu llenwadau ac archwiliadau deintyddol mater o drefn, nad ydych chi angen rhywun â gallu hynod fedrus deintydd i'w wneud. Rydym ni angen i'r proffesiwn deintyddol ddilyn y proffesiwn meddygol gofal sylfaenol yng Nghymru trwy ledaenu nifer y bobl a'r mathau o broffesiynau sy'n gallu darparu deintyddiaeth y GIG, ac yna, byddwn yn gallu defnyddio'r sgiliau prin hynny i gael effaith glinigol lawn ac i gynnig lefel uwch o fynediad at ddeintyddiaeth y GIG.
