English: A very happy birthday to the NHS. A birthday is a time for celebration and, more than anything, I think we celebrate all the NHS staff - hundreds of thousands of them over 70 years who have made the NHS what it is. They're our friends, they're our families, they're our loved ones. My grandmother - I was trying to work this out today - would have left the NHS in its very first few years. She was a nurse at the Royal Liverpool hospital and I know that she would be looking back with amazement at what the NHS has become. Any birthday is a time for reflection; the 70-year anniversary is a time to reflect on the feat in itself that we still have an NHS that has lasted this long. It's a fantastic achievement in itself. When it was created, there were great doubts about whether it would last, about whether it would be sustainable, and about whether the concept of providing care free at the point of delivery would lead to an onslaught of people seeking free treatment. At risk of playing political football, there are those on the right of politics who still question the sustainability of the NHS and think that privatisation is the way forward and raise fears of an onslaught of people seeking free prescriptions and so on. But I'm confident that we'll be looking back at 140 years, when 70 years has gone by again, and I'm sure the same questions about sustainability will be asked then. But the key thing is that all of us have to be clear that that sustainability is a priority, a priority for us in all that we do. The point has been raised about the NHS being used as a political football, and I'll say at the outset here that I have no doubt that this Government and the Conservatives and everybody else represented want the NHS to perform as well as it possibly can. We have different approaches, of course, on how that could be achieved, and I think that, where we can work together, it is in the interests of everybody in Wales - the staff of the NHS and patients too - but it is important that we do hold Government to account. And I make no apologies - 20 years after Labour took control of the NHS in Wales - about raising questions about why you've failed to get to grips with the workforce challenges in the way that I think could have been done; why there's still a lack of integration of social care; why there is still poor performance of waiting times compared with other nations in the UK. And the patients and staff of the NHS look to us to hold you in Government to account on those areas. I'll ask you a few questions: one, I think the biggest threat, and I'm sure you'll agree with me, at the beginning of the second 70 years of the NHS, is the very real threat of a hard Brexit. I would appreciate your comments on some of the - . The concerning answer that I heard from the First Minister earlier today, when he suggested there are no preparations being made within the Welsh NHS for a hard Brexit. He suggested that there's no way the NHS could prepare for a hard Brexit. I don't believe that for a second, and now is the time to be making sure that all possible steps - however challenging they may be - are taken to prepare us for a hard Brexit. Secondly, about valuing staff. I'd appreciate your thoughts on how we support staff who are overworked. We know we need more staff in the NHS, and, of course, we've put forward ideas such as the training of doctors, for example, in Bangor. We need to relieve that stress, but how will you deal with overworked staff and the help they need now? And finally, in terms of the future, the third paragraph, I think it was, of your statement, refers to the fundamental principles underpinning the NHS. I don't think we've achieved the fundamental principles when it comes to care, and I would appreciate your comments on how we achieve the aim of providing care as well as healthcare for people in Wales, because those principles are as important in care as they are in the NHS.
Welsh: Pen-blwydd hapus iawn i'r GIG. Mae pen-blwydd yn amser i ddathlu ac, yn fwy na dim, rwy'n credu ein bod ni'n dathlu holl staff y GIG - cannoedd ar filoedd ohonynt dros 70 o flynyddoedd sydd wedi gwneud y GIG yr hyn ydyw. Maen nhw'n ffrindiau, yn deulu, ac yn anwyliaid inni. Byddai fy mam-gu - roeddwn i'n ceisio ystyried hyn heddiw - wedi gadael y GIG yn ystod ei flynyddoedd cyntaf. Roedd hi'n nyrs yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Lerpwl ac rwy'n gwybod y byddai hi'n edrych yn ôl gyda syndod ar y GIG fel y mae heddiw. Mae unrhyw ben-blwydd yn amser i fyfyrio; mae'r 70 mlwyddiant yn amser i fyfyrio ar y gamp ynddi ei hun bod gennym GIG sydd wedi para cyhyd. Mae'n llwyddiant gwych ynddo'i hun. Pan gafodd ei greu, roedd amheuon mawr ynghylch a fyddai'n para, a fyddai'n gynaliadwy, ac a fyddai'r syniad o ddarparu gofal am ddim yn y man cyflenwi'n arwain at lu o bobl yn ceisio triniaeth am ddim. I wynebu'r risg o chwarae pêl-droed gwleidyddol, mae rhai ar yr ochr dde i wleidyddiaeth sy'n dal i gwestiynu cynaliadwyedd y GIG ac sy'n credu mai preifateiddio yw'r ffordd ymlaen ac sy'n codi ofnau am lu o bobl yn ceisio presgripsiynau am ddim ac ati. Ond rwy'n hyderus y byddwn yn edrych yn ôl ar 140 mlynedd, pan fydd 70 mlynedd arall wedi mynd heibio, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd yr un cwestiynau am gynaliadwyedd yn cael eu gofyn bryd hynny. Ond y peth allweddol yw bod yn rhaid i bob un ohonom fod yn glir bod cynaliadwyedd yn flaenoriaeth, yn flaenoriaeth inni ym mhob peth a wnawn. Codwyd y pwynt am ddefnyddio'r GIG fel pêl-droed wleidyddol, ac rwy'n mynd i ddweud ar y cychwyn yma nad wyf yn amau bod y Llywodraeth hon a'r Ceidwadwyr a phawb arall a gynrychiolir eisiau gweld y GIG yn perfformio cystal ag y bo modd. Mae gennym syniadau gwahanol, wrth gwrs, ynghylch sut i gyflawni hynny, ac rwy'n credu, lle y gallwn gydweithio, bod hynny er budd pawb yng Nghymru - staff y GIG a chleifion hefyd - ond mae'n bwysig ein bod yn dal y Llywodraeth i gyfrif. Ac nid wyf yn ymddiheuro - 20 mlynedd ar ôl i Lafur gymryd awenau'r GIG yng Nghymru - am ofyn cwestiynau ynghylch pam rydych chi wedi methu ag ymdrin â'r heriau gweithlu fel y credaf y gellid bod wedi'i wneud; pam mae diffyg integreiddio gofal cymdeithasol o hyd; pam mae perfformiad yn dal i fod yn wael o ran amseroedd aros o'i gymharu â gwledydd eraill y DU. Ac mae cleifion a staff y GIG yn disgwyl i ni eich dal chi yn y Llywodraeth i gyfrif ar y meysydd hynny. Rwy'n mynd i ofyn rhai cwestiynau ichi: un, rwy'n credu mai'r bygythiad mwyaf, ac rwy'n siŵr y gwnewch chi gytuno â mi, ar ddechrau ail 70 mlynedd y GIG, yw'r bygythiad gwirioneddol o Brexit caled. Byddwn yn gwerthfawrogi eich sylwadau am rai o'r - . Yr ateb sy'n peri pryder a glywais gan y Prif Weinidog yn gynharach heddiw, pan awgrymodd nad oes paratoadau'n cael eu gwneud o fewn y GIG yng Nghymru ar gyfer Brexit caled. Awgrymodd ef nad oes unrhyw ffordd y gallai'r GIG baratoi am Brexit caled. Dydw i ddim yn credu hynny am eiliad, a nawr yw'r amser i wneud yn siŵr bod pob cam posibl - pa bynnag mor heriol - yn cael ei gymryd i'n paratoi ar gyfer Brexit caled. Yn ail, ynghylch gwerthfawrogi staff. Byddwn yn gwerthfawrogi eich barn am sut ydyn ni'n cefnogi staff sy'n cael eu gorweithio. Gwyddom fod angen mwy o staff yn y GIG, ac, wrth gwrs, rydyn ni wedi cyflwyno syniadau fel hyfforddi meddygon, er enghraifft, ym Mangor. Mae angen inni leddfu'r straen hwnnw, ond sut fyddwch chi'n ymdrin â staff sy'n cael eu gorweithio a'r help sydd ei angen arnynt nawr? Ac yn olaf, o ran y dyfodol, mae trydydd paragraff, rwy'n credu, eich datganiad yn cyfeirio at yr egwyddorion sylfaenol sy'n sail i'r GIG. Dydw i ddim o'r farn ein bod ni wedi cyflawni'r egwyddorion sylfaenol o ran gofal, a byddwn yn gwerthfawrogi eich sylwadau ynghylch sut ydyn ni'n cyflawni'r nod o ddarparu gofal yn ogystal â gofal iechyd i bobl Cymru, oherwydd mae'r egwyddorion hynny yr un mor bwysig mewn gofal ag y maent yn y GIG.
