English: Thank you, Minister, for that answer. I think rural areas sometimes see the worst ambulance response times by the fact that they are often further away and harder to reach. This is the situation for residents in my region, on the Gower peninsula. Many of them came together a few years ago and raised £65,000 towards a first responder vehicle to be based in Reynoldston, which meant serious incidents could be attended to much quicker than waiting for ambulances to come from elsewhere. In 2017, the crew in Reynoldston were called out 207 times, but by 2018 this had fallen to 61, and that drop has continued in the year since. There have been times that people have literally waited hours and hours for ambulances to be called from Port Talbot when the first responder is literally within two minutes of the call. People are waiting significant lengths of time for paramedics or ambulances from miles away when there are trained people on their doorstep, who could even come and give interim care until the full-time professionals arrive. This is a situation that needs to be urgently addressed and would appear to be one that could be easily rectified by better communications within the Welsh ambulance service and 999 call-handling centres, especially those call handlers located in north Wales who may be unfamiliar with the geography of south Wales and the Gower peninsula in particular. Can I ask whether the Minister would agree to meet with me and local groups involved in the Reynoldston first response unit to discuss this further, to better promote this service within Gower and within the wider ambulance service?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Credaf weithiau fod yr amseroedd ymateb ambiwlans gwaethaf i'w gweld yn yr ardaloedd gwledig oherwydd eu bod yn aml ymhellach i ffwrdd ac yn anos eu cyrraedd. Dyma'r sefyllfa i drigolion yn fy rhanbarth i, ym mhenrhyn Gŵyr. Daeth llawer ohonynt ynghyd rai blynyddoedd yn ôl a chodi £65,000 tuag at gerbyd ymateb cyflym, i'w leoli yn Reynoldston, a olygai y gellid cyrraedd digwyddiadau difrifol yn gynt o lawer nag aros i ambiwlansys ddod o rywle arall. Yn 2017, cafodd y criw yn Reynoldston eu galw allan 207 o weithiau, ond erbyn 2018, roedd wedi gostwng i 61, ac mae'r gostyngiad wedi parhau yn y flwyddyn ers hynny. Ar adegau, bu pobl yn aros am oriau yn llythrennol i ambiwlansys gael eu galw o Bort Talbot pan fo'r cerbyd ymateb cyflym yn llythrennol o fewn dwy funud i'r alwad. Mae pobl yn aros am gyfnodau sylweddol o amser am barafeddygon neu ambiwlansys o filltiroedd i ffwrdd pan fo pobl hyfforddedig ar garreg eu drws, pobl a allai ddod i roi gofal interim tan i'r gweithwyr proffesiynol amser llawn gyrraedd. Mae hon yn sefyllfa y mae angen mynd i'r afael â hi ar frys ac ymddengys y gellid ei datrys yn hawdd drwy well cyfathrebu o fewn gwasanaeth ambiwlans Cymru a chanolfannau trin galwadau 999, yn enwedig y rheini sy'n trin galwadau yng ngogledd Cymru ac a allai fod yn anghyfarwydd â daearyddiaeth de Cymru a phenrhyn Gŵyr yn enwedig. Tybed a fyddai'r Gweinidog yn cytuno i gyfarfod â mi a grwpiau lleol sy'n ymwneud ag uned ymateb cyflym Reynoldston i drafod hyn ymhellach, i hyrwyddo'r gwasanaeth hwn yn well yn y Gŵyr ac yn y gwasanaeth ambiwlans ehangach?
