English: I welcome the Tory motion, because I think we don't talk enough about death, even though it faces us all eventually. I think one of the worst things about the pandemic is people dying in hospital without their loved ones holding on to them. So, I absolutely salute the heroic efforts of nursing and social care staff, who have enabled people to die with dignity, even if they haven't been able to say goodbye to their loved ones, except through some sort of device. Most people want to die at home. That is an absolute fact. I think that Sir Tom Moore - one of the things that is so wonderful about him is that he lived life absolutely to the full right to the very end. He even went on a bucket holiday to Barbados just before he died, so good luck to him. But, he had the good fortune to live with at least two generations of his family, and we have to acknowledge, as the amendment does, that not everyone has family who have the room to accommodate the older generation as well as the younger generation. For people who don't have family at all, care homes can provide a really good alternative social network for people who find it difficult to move around. So, I think that staff in care homes have done an extraordinary job in dealing with the challenges thrown at them during the pandemic. But, as we move out of the pandemic, I would really like to see care homes becoming more integrated into the communities where they are, and becoming more democratic in their way of operating. The worst thing about a care home, from my perspective, is its potential isolation from the rest of society. I know there are excellent initiatives to enable children to go into care homes and sing songs or talk to older people, and those are all to be applauded. But, there really is a great deal more that we could do that they do in places like Scandinavia and Holland to make care homes part of the community - places where food prepared by the staff with residents is then sold to the general public. Lastly, I just want to say that I think that the neighbourhood nursing pilots - the evaluation that was done of them is a clear indication of the path that I would like to see us go down to ensure that people can remain in their own home, with the care and support that they need, for as long as possible. That is where people prefer to be in most circumstances. So, I think that there is a great deal more that we can do to make the end of life much more dignified and happy.
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu cynnig y Torïaid, oherwydd rwy'n credu nad ydym yn siarad digon am farwolaeth, er ei fod yn ein hwynebu ni i gyd yn y pen draw. Rwy'n credu mai un o'r pethau gwaethaf am y pandemig yw pobl yn marw yn yr ysbyty heb fod eu hanwyliaid yno i afael yn eu llaw. Felly, rwy'n llwyr ganmol ymdrechion arwrol staff nyrsio a gofal cymdeithasol sydd wedi galluogi pobl i farw gydag urddas, hyd yn oed os nad ydynt wedi gallu ffarwelio â'u hanwyliaid, heblaw drwy ryw fath o ddyfais. Mae'r rhan fwyaf o bobl eisiau marw gartref. Mae honno'n ffaith absoliwt. Rwy'n credu bod Syr Tom Moore - un o'r pethau sydd mor wych amdano yw ei fod wedi byw bywyd hollol lawn hyd y diwedd. Aeth ar wyliau olaf i Barbados ychydig cyn iddo farw, felly pob lwc iddo. Ond fe fu'n ddigon ffodus i gael byw gydag o leiaf ddwy genhedlaeth o'i deulu, a rhaid inni gydnabod, fel y mae'r gwelliant yn ei wneud, nad oes gan bawb deulu sydd â lle ar gyfer y genhedlaeth hŷn yn ogystal â'r genhedlaeth iau. I bobl nad oes ganddynt deulu o gwbl, gall cartrefi gofal ddarparu rhwydwaith cymdeithasol amgen da iawn i bobl sy'n ei chael hi'n anodd symud o gwmpas. Felly, credaf fod staff mewn cartrefi gofal wedi gwneud gwaith eithriadol yn ymdrin â'r heriau a wynebwyd ganddynt yn ystod y pandemig. Ond wrth inni gefnu ar y pandemig, hoffwn weld cartrefi gofal yn cael eu hintegreiddio'n well yn y cymunedau lle maent, ac yn dod yn fwy democrataidd o ran eu ffordd o weithredu. Y peth gwaethaf am gartref gofal yn fy marn i yw'r perygl o arwahanrwydd oddi wrth weddill y gymdeithas. Gwn fod mentrau ardderchog yn bodoli i alluogi plant i fynd i gartrefi gofal a chanu caneuon neu siarad â phobl hŷn, ac mae'r rheini i gyd yn ganmoladwy. Ond mae llawer iawn mwy y gallem ei wneud, fel maent yn ei wneud mewn lleoedd fel Sgandinafia a'r Iseldiroedd i wneud cartrefi gofal yn rhan o'r gymuned - mannau lle mae bwyd a baratowyd gan y staff gyda'r preswylwyr yn cael ei werthu i'r cyhoedd wedyn. Yn olaf, hoffwn ddweud fy mod yn credu bod y cynlluniau peilot nyrsio cymdogaeth - y gwerthusiad a wnaethpwyd ohonynt yn arwydd clir o'r llwybr yr hoffwn ein gweld yn ei ddilyn er mwyn sicrhau y gall pobl aros yn eu cartref eu hunain gyda'r gofal a'r cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt, cyhyd ag y bo modd. Dyna lle mae'n well gan bobl fod yn y rhan fwyaf o amgylchiadau. Felly, credaf fod llawer mwy y gallwn ei wneud i sicrhau bod diwedd oes yn adeg lawer mwy urddasol a hapus.
