English: Thank you, Minister, for your statement. I'm delighted that Lynne Neagle has brought this issue up once again in this Chamber this afternoon, because, as you will know, there is a child and adolescent mental health unit with in-patient capacity in my own constituency, in the town of Abergele. It was built almost 10 years ago now, back in 2009, with a capacity of 18 beds, which was to serve the north Wales area, and, unfortunately, those beds have never been fully occupied or fully opened, and we still face individuals being sent many hundreds of miles away from north Wales when only 12 of the beds are currently commissioned at our own flagship unit. Now, I'm sure that more people could benefit from this facility if it were up to full capacity in terms of its bed use. I'm sure there would be people who would be sent in to north Wales from outside of the north Wales area as well in order to occupy those beds if they were available. And I wonder whether you could give us an update today on what action is being taken by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to make sure that there are sufficient beds in north Wales for the young people who might need in-patient facilities in our own region. I accept there will sometimes be specialist cases where there's a need for some very specialist provision that cannot be accommodated in one of these more generalised units. I understand and accept that that might be the case from time to time, but, clearly, there are young people who could benefit from these facilities in Wales who are currently being sent over the border to England. We can easily monitor the quality and effectiveness of the care. There isn't the problem with the commissioners having to face the challenge of monitoring something hundreds of miles away. This is within Wales, this is within the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. So, can I ask, will you be working with the health board in north Wales to increase the in-patient capacity at Abergele and what work is being done within the health board to recruit, if necessary, the extra health professionals in order to man those additional beds, should you be planning to open them?
Welsh: Diolch i chi am eich datganiad, Weinidog. Rwy'n falch iawn fod Lynne Neagle wedi codi'r mater hwn unwaith eto yn y Siambr y prynhawn yma, oherwydd, fel y gwyddoch, mae uned iechyd meddwl ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc, gyda chapasiti cleifion mewnol, yn fy etholaeth fy hun, yn nhref Abergele. Cafodd ei hadeiladu bron i 10 mlynedd yn ôl bellach, yn ôl yn 2009, gyda chapasiti o 18 o welyau, i wasanaethu ardal gogledd Cymru, ac yn anffodus, nid yw'r gwelyau hynny erioed wedi cael eu defnyddio'n llawn neu ar agor yn llawn, ac rydym yn dal i wynebu'r posibilrwydd y bydd unigolion yn cael eu hanfon gannoedd o filltiroedd i ffwrdd o ogledd Cymru pan nad oes ond 12 yn unig o'r gwelyau wedi'u comisiynu yn ein huned flaenllaw ein hunain ar hyn o bryd. Nawr, rwy'n siŵr y gallai mwy o bobl elwa o'r cyfleuster hwn pe bai wedi'i lenwi hyd at gapasiti llawn o ran y defnydd o welyau. Rwy'n siŵr y byddai rhai pobl yn cael eu hanfon i ogledd Cymru o'r tu allan i ardal gogledd Cymru hefyd er mwyn llenwi'r gwelyau hynny pe baent ar gael. Ac rwy'n meddwl tybed a allech roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i ni heddiw ar ba gamau a gymerir gan Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr i sicrhau bod digon o welyau yng ngogledd Cymru ar gyfer y bobl ifanc a allai fod angen cyfleusterau cleifion mewnol yn ein rhanbarth. Rwy'n derbyn y bydd yna achosion arbenigol weithiau lle bydd angen darpariaeth arbenigol iawn na ellir ei darparu yn un o'r unedau mwy cyffredinol hyn. Rwy'n deall ac yn derbyn y gallai hynny ddigwydd o bryd i'w gilydd, ond yn amlwg, mae yna bobl ifanc a allai elwa o'r cyfleusterau hyn yng Nghymru sy'n cael eu hanfon dros y ffin i Loegr ar hyn o bryd. Gallwn fonitro ansawdd ac effeithiolrwydd y gofal yn hawdd. Nid oes problem gyda'r comisiynwyr yn gorfod wynebu'r her o fonitro rhywbeth gannoedd o filltiroedd i ffwrdd. Mae hyn yng Nghymru, o fewn Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr. Felly, a gaf fi ofyn, a fyddwch yn gweithio gyda'r bwrdd iechyd yng ngogledd Cymru i gynyddu capasiti cleifion mewnol yn Abergele, a pha waith sy'n cael ei wneud o fewn y bwrdd iechyd i recriwtio gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol ychwanegol, os oes angen, er mwyn gofalu am y gwelyau ychwanegol hynny, os ydych yn bwriadu eu hagor?
