English: Thank you very much. Ignaz Semmelweis identified why women giving birth cared by midwives - nearly all women - had a much lower mortality rate than a randomly identical cohort cared by doctors - all men - in 1847, but it took over 100 years in a male-dominated profession for hand washing between patients and before surgery to be mandatory practice. And so that really illustrates just the size of the problems that we face in many areas of our life, and that includes medicine. If men got pregnant, I suggest we wouldn't have such disgraceful attacks on womens' and girls' right to choose in at least half the countries in the world. And happily the Welsh health Minister has protected the right of women in Wales to have rapid access to telemedical abortions, and the innovation that we achieved during COVID to be a permanent feature in the NHS in Wales. You mentioned in your statement about endometriosis, and I just wanted to probe a bit further on this. Yes, we've introduced specialist endo nurses into each health board in Wales, and that's very, very welcome, but women do not have equal access to secondary and tertiary care, and so that is obviously a big challenge for us and for the Welsh NHS.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Nododd Ignaz Semmelweis pam yr oedd gan fenywod a oedd yn rhoi genedigaeth a oedd o dan ofal bydwragedd - bron i gyd yn fenywod - gyfradd marwolaethau llawer is na charfan ar hap union yr un fath o dan ofal meddygon - i gyd yn ddynion - ym 1847, ond cymerodd dros 100 mlynedd mewn proffesiwn a oedd yn cael ei reoli gan ddynion, i olchi dwylo rhwng cleifion a chyn llawdriniaeth fod yn arfer gorfodol. Ac felly mae hynny'n dangos maint y problemau sy'n ein hwynebu mewn sawl agwedd ar fywyd, ac mae hynny'n cynnwys meddygaeth. Pe bai dynion yn beichiogi, rwy'n awgrymu na fyddem ag ymosodiadau mor warthus ar hawl menywod a merched i ddewis yn o leiaf hanner gwledydd y byd. Ac yn ffodus, mae Gweinidog iechyd Cymru wedi diogelu hawl menywod yng Nghymru i gael mynediad cyflym at erthyliadau telefeddygol, a'r arloesedd a gyflawnwyd gennym yn ystod COVID i fod yn nodwedd barhaol yn y GIG yng Nghymru. Sonioch chi yn eich datganiad am endometriosis, ac roeddwn eisiau ymchwilio ychydig ymhellach i hyn. Ydym, rydym wedi cyflwyno nyrsys endo arbenigol i bob bwrdd iechyd yng Nghymru, ac mae hynny i'w groesawu'n fawr iawn, ond nid yw menywod yn cael mynediad cyfartal at ofal eilaidd a thrydyddol, ac felly mae hynny'n amlwg yn her fawr i ni ac i GIG Cymru.
English: Jenny, you need to ask you question, please. I'm running out of time.
Welsh: Jenny, mae angen ichi ofyn eich cwestiwn, os gwelwch yn dda. Rwy'n rhedeg allan o amser.
English: Okay. So, what is the status of the provisional centre at Singleton Hospital, and how do you envisage ensuring that all women in Wales have access to secondary and tertiary care, where required?
Welsh: Ocê. Felly, beth yw statws y ganolfan dros dro yn Ysbyty Singleton, a sut ydych chi'n rhagweld y byddwch yn sicrhau y bydd pob menyw yng Nghymru yn cael gofal eilaidd a thrydyddol, pan fo angen?
English: Thanks very much. And, Jenny, I'd like to support you in terms of your position on women's right to choose. I'm absolutely despairing in terms of what's happening in the United States, and I think it's been a very sad step backwards for women and, indeed, men in that country. In terms of endometriosis, you'll be aware that we have now in every health board an endometriosis nurse. I've met them on a few occasions. Their enthusiasm is, I know, very catching. I know that they're doing a great job, and they're training people, I know, because - I declare an interest - my husband was on a course, as a GP, the other day with one of these people, learning about endometriosis. What I recognise is that, when it comes to secondary and tertiary care, there's a lot more work to be done and, of course, we are going to have to look at what more we can do in that space in terms of recruiting surgeons who are able to help with this very, very difficult condition that people live with.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. A, Jenny, hoffwn eich cefnogi chi o ran eich safbwynt ar hawl menywod i ddewis. Rwyf yn gwbl anobeithiol o ran yr hyn sy'n digwydd yn yr Unol Daleithiau, ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn gam trist iawn yn ôl i fenywod ac, yn wir, i ddynion yn y wlad honno. O ran endometriosis, byddwch yn ymwybodol bod gennym ni bellach ym mhob bwrdd iechyd nyrs endometriosis. Rwyf wedi cwrdd â nhw ychydig o weithiau. Mae eu brwdfrydedd, mi wn, yn dal i fod yn heintus iawn. Gwn eu bod yn gwneud gwaith gwych, ac maen nhw'n hyfforddi pobl, rwy'n gwybod, oherwydd - rwy'n datgan buddiant - yr oedd fy ngŵr ar gwrs, fel meddyg teulu, y diwrnod o'r blaen gydag un o'r bobl hyn, yn dysgu am endometriosis. Yr hyn yr wyf i'n ei gydnabod, pan ddaw i ofal eilaidd a thrydyddol, yw bod llawer mwy o waith i'w wneud ac, wrth gwrs, y bydd yn rhaid i ni edrych ar beth arall y gallwn ni ei wneud yn y maes hwnnw o ran recriwtio llawfeddygon sy'n gallu helpu gyda'r cyflwr anodd iawn hwn y mae pobl yn byw gydag ef.
English: I'm just trying to cut down my speech here. I very much welcome this statement and the opportunity to talk about women's health. For too long in our society, we've seen women's health, safety and well-being neglected and overlooked. I really welcome that there'll be a 10-year women's health plan in the autumn, and I very much welcome lots of parts of this statement. It will be an enormous opportunity for this Senedd to make a significant contribution in many ways to women across Wales. One major area of concern with me, of course, is perinatal care - something that Buffy and I have both spoken with some passion about, because of the experiences that we had. Due to the significant and long-lasting effects of not treating perinatal health, what, Minister, are you doing in terms of ensuring equality of access to perinatal services across Wales, and what, as Rhun just said, resources have been put aside to address that? And I very much welcome your statement about endometriosis, and I commend the work that Suzy Davies, a past colleague, brought to this Chamber about highlighting all those issues. What are you doing to highlight awareness of this issue, endometriosis, working with the Minister for education, with the new curriculum, but also perimenopause and menopause and all women's issues? How are you working with other Ministers to highlight those in Wales? Thank you.
Welsh: Rwy'n ceisio cwtogi ar fy araith yma. Rwy'n croesawu'r datganiad hwn yn fawr a'r cyfle i siarad am iechyd menywod. Ers gormod o amser yn ein cymdeithas, rydym wedi gweld iechyd, diogelwch a llesiant menywod yn cael eu hesgeuluso a'u hanwybyddu. Rwy'n croesawu'n fawr y bydd cynllun iechyd menywod 10 mlynedd yn yr hydref, ac rwy'n croesawu llawer o rannau o'r datganiad hwn yn fawr iawn. Bydd yn gyfle enfawr i'r Senedd hon wneud cyfraniad sylweddol mewn sawl ffordd i fenywod ledled Cymru. Un maes pwysig sy'n peri pryder i mi, wrth gwrs, yw gofal amenedigol - rhywbeth y mae Buffy a minnau wedi siarad â rhywfaint o angerdd yn ei gylch, oherwydd y profiadau a gawsom. Oherwydd effeithiau sylweddol a pharhaol yn sgil peidio â thrin iechyd amenedigol, beth, Gweinidog, ydych yn ei wneud o ran sicrhau mynediad cyfartal at wasanaethau amenedigol ledled Cymru, a pha adnoddau, fel y dywedodd Rhun, sydd wedi'u neilltuo i fynd i'r afael â hynny? Ac rwy'n croesawu'n fawr eich datganiad am endometriosis, a chymeradwyaf y gwaith a gyflwynodd Suzy Davies, cyn gyd-Aelod, i'r Siambr hon am dynnu sylw at yr holl faterion hynny. Beth ydych chi'n ei wneud i dynnu sylw at ymwybyddiaeth o'r mater hwn, endometriosis, gan weithio gyda'r Gweinidog dros addysg, gyda'r cwricwlwm newydd, ond hefyd perimenopos a menopos a holl faterion menywod? Sut ydych chi'n gweithio gyda Gweinidogion eraill i dynnu sylw at y rheini yng Nghymru? Diolch.
English: Thanks very much. Certainly, I'm very aware, and I've heard on several occasions you talk about your experiences in terms of perinatal health, and the same with Buffy - very traumatic experiences, and you're representative of so many thousands of women who've been through a very, very traumatic time. And I think it's really important that we think through, and this is why the life-course thing is really important. It's not just about what happens at that moment, it's about what happens, as a result, for the rest of your life, to the point where, for example, lots of people have incontinence issues, for example. We've got to think about what the impact is throughout a person's life cycle. So, these are things, I hope, that will be brought out in the plan, where there will be a focus. What we're talking about here is a quality statement, where the expectation is that there will be access, and there will be an equality of access. When it comes to endometriosis, I would like to commend also the work that Suzy Davies did, and I know that one of the last things that she did in this Senedd was to ensure that, actually, this was going to be something that was built into the curriculum, and so people will learn about it in the Welsh school curriculum.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Yn sicr, rwy'n ymwybodol iawn, ac rwyf wedi eich clywed ar sawl achlysur yn sôn am eich profiadau o ran iechyd amenedigol, a'r un peth gyda Buffy - profiadau trawmatig iawn, ac rydych yn gynrychiadol o filoedd lu o fenywod sydd wedi bod drwy gyfnod trawmatig iawn. Ac rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig iawn ein bod yn meddwl yn ofalus, a dyma pam mae cwrs bywyd yn bwysig iawn. Nid yw'n ymwneud â'r hyn sy'n digwydd ar hyn o bryd yn unig, mae'n ymwneud â'r hyn sy'n digwydd, o ganlyniad, am weddill eich bywyd, i'r pwynt pan fo gan lawer o bobl, er enghraifft, broblemau anymataliaeth. Mae'n rhaid i ni feddwl beth yw'r effaith drwy gydol cylch bywyd unigolyn. Felly, mae'r rhain yn bethau, gobeithio, y cânt eu cyflwyno yn y cynllun, lle bydd pwyslais. Yr hyn yr ydym ni'n sôn amdano yma yw datganiad ansawdd, pryd y disgwylir y bydd mynediad, a bydd mynediad cyfartal. O ran endometriosis, hoffwn ganmol hefyd y gwaith a wnaeth Suzy Davies, a gwn mai un o'r pethau olaf a wnaeth yn y Senedd hon oedd sicrhau, mewn gwirionedd, y byddai hyn yn rhywbeth a oedd wedi'i gynnwys yn y cwricwlwm, ac felly bydd pobl yn dysgu amdano yng nghwricwlwm ysgolion Cymru.
English: I also really welcome the statement. I'd like to highlight something about the impact of the hormone replacement therapy shortage on women going through the menopause. One constituent has raised something quite specific with me, which is that women going through surgical menopause are being particularly badly affected. So, surgical menopause is when surgery, instead of the ageing process, causes the menopause to happen. My constituent told me that, for women like her with no hormones, going without HRT isn't just a case of making it more difficult to top up your mood, it really makes it almost impossible to function, and suicidal thoughts are just really taking over her life sometimes. So, can anything please be done to prioritise how women who need HRT the greatest can be made to be prioritised, because not everyone's menopause will be the same? And, as I've said before, I realise that the UK Government has responsibility for maintaining supply of medicines, but I would welcome more information on what you're doing cross-governmentally on this, please.
Welsh: Rwyf i hefyd yn croesawu'r datganiad yn fawr. Hoffwn amlygu rhywbeth am effaith prinder therapi adfer hormonau ar fenywod sy'n mynd drwy'r menopos. Mae un etholwr wedi codi rhywbeth eithaf penodol gyda mi, sef yr effeithir yn arbennig o wael ar fenywod sy'n mynd drwy fenopos llawfeddygol. Felly, menopos llawfeddygol yw pan fydd llawdriniaeth, yn hytrach na'r broses heneiddio, yn achosi i'r menopos ddigwydd. Dywedodd fy etholwr wrthyf, i fenywod fel hi heb hormonau, nad yw mynd heb HRT yn fater o'i gwneud yn anos codi hwyl, mae'n ei gwneud bron yn amhosibl gweithredu, ac mae meddyliau hunanladdol yn cymryd drosodd ei bywyd weithiau. Felly, a ellir gwneud unrhyw beth, os gwelwch yn dda, i flaenoriaethu menywod sydd angen HRT fwyaf, oherwydd ni fydd menopos pawb yr un fath? Ac, fel yr wyf wedi dweud o'r blaen, sylweddolaf mai Llywodraeth y DU sy'n gyfrifol am gynnal y cyflenwad o feddyginiaethau, ond byddwn yn croesawu rhagor o wybodaeth am yr hyn yr ydych yn ei wneud ar draws y Llywodraeth ynghylch hyn, os gwelwch yn dda.
English: Thanks very much. Well, what we have seen is an increase of 40 per cent in terms of demand over the past five years when it comes to HRT. And the real problem is that manufacturers haven't kept pace with that demand. So, we are working with the UK Government, who, of course, is responsible for procuring this on our behalf, and, obviously, people are being advised to perhaps go to alternatives that are available. I'll look at that issue in relation to surgical menopause; it's not an issue that I've come across before, but we'll certainly ask officials to take a look at that as well.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Wel, yr hyn yr ydym wedi'i weld yw cynnydd o 40 y cant yn y galw dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf o ran HRT. A'r broblem wirioneddol yw nad yw gweithgynhyrchwyr wedi llwyddo i ateb y galw hwnnw. Felly, rydym yn gweithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU, sydd, wrth gwrs, yn gyfrifol am gaffael hwn ar ein rhan, ac, yn amlwg, mae pobl yn cael eu cynghori i fynd at bethau amgen sydd ar gael efallai. Byddaf yn edrych ar y mater hwnnw mewn cysylltiad â menopos llawfeddygol; nid yw'n fater yr wyf wedi dod ar ei draws o'r blaen, ond byddwn yn sicr yn gofyn i swyddogion edrych ar hynny hefyd.
English: Thank you, Minister, for this. I know that women's health is a priority for you and our Welsh Government, and so I very much welcome the statement today. I don't want to say things that have already been said; I just want to support what you, Minister, and Jenny Rathbone have said about the ruling being overturned in the US - the Roe v. Wade - and I really do believe that it's going to be a very dark time in American society now for, as you said, men and women, because of this decision that has been made. I think it's really terrifying as well for many, many people across the world because this has happened. Our right to autonomy and to healthcare can be taken away from us with political will, and that is why we must keep fighting to protect the rights of women across the world. I just want to say, though, really - . I'd like to pay tribute to the women in my community who have shared their experiences of healthcare and gender, from cervical screening and menopause to neurodivergence. As I've said before, it is historical, it's engrained in our systems, because the decisions made about our healthcare have not always been made with women in mind, by women. So, I just wanted to ask if you could give us a little bit more about neurodivergence, really, because this is something that I've had an overwhelming response about, and I think just that a lot of women would like that reassurance that it is being taken seriously by our Welsh Government. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Gweinidog, am hyn. Gwn fod iechyd menywod yn flaenoriaeth i chi a'n Llywodraeth, ac felly rwy'n croesawu'r datganiad yn fawr heddiw. Nid wyf eisiau dweud pethau sydd eisoes wedi'u dweud; rwyf eisiau cefnogi'r hyn yr ydych chi, Gweinidog, a Jenny Rathbone wedi'i ddweud am y dyfarniad a gafodd ei wrthdroi yn yr Unol Daleithiau - y Roe v. Wade - ac rwy'n credu mewn gwirionedd y bydd yn gyfnod tywyll iawn yng nghymdeithas America yn awr, fel y dywedoch chi, i ddynion a menywod, oherwydd y penderfyniad hwn. Rwy'n credu ei fod yn frawychus iawn hefyd i lawer iawn o bobl ledled y byd oherwydd bod hyn wedi digwydd. Gellir tynnu ein hawl i ymreolaeth ac i ofal iechyd oddi wrthym gydag ewyllys wleidyddol, a dyna pam y mae'n rhaid i ni barhau i frwydro i ddiogelu hawliau menywod ledled y byd. Rwyf eisiau dweud, serch hynny, mewn gwirionedd - . Hoffwn dalu teyrnged i'r menywod yn fy nghymuned sydd wedi rhannu eu profiadau o ofal iechyd a rhywedd, o sgrinio serfigol a menopos i niwrowahaniaeth. Fel yr wyf wedi dweud o'r blaen, mae'n hanesyddol, mae wedi ymwreiddio yn ein systemau, oherwydd nid yw'r penderfyniadau a wneir am ein gofal iechyd bob amser wedi'u gwneud gyda menywod mewn golwg, gan fenywod. Felly, roeddwn eisiau gofyn a wnewch chi roi ychydig mwy i ni am niwrowahaniaeth, a dweud y gwir, oherwydd mae hyn yn rhywbeth yr wyf i wedi cael ymateb syfrdanol yn ei gylch, a chredaf y byddai llawer o fenywod yn hoffi'r sicrwydd hwnnw ei fod yn cael ei gymryd o ddifrif gan ein Llywodraeth yng Nghymru. Diolch.
English: Thanks very much. In terms of cervical screening, I think it's really important that we also take not just - . It's obviously a gender issue, but there's an inequalities issue within that. So, it's clear that we see fewer people from poorer areas presenting themselves for screening, so we've got to take that into account as well, and make sure that we're making up for that, not just in terms of cervical screening but more broadly in terms of screening. In terms of neurodivergence, you'll see in the annex that neurodiversity is an issue that is listed there that clearly, I think, needs a bit of attention when it comes to understanding that women may present in a different way from men. And I know that my colleague Julie Morgan, who's responsible for that, will be interested in pursuing that as well.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. O ran sgrinio serfigol, credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn ein bod hefyd yn cymryd nid yn unig - . Mae'n amlwg yn fater o rywedd, ond mae mater anghydraddoldebau o fewn hynny. Felly, mae'n amlwg ein bod yn gweld llai o bobl o ardaloedd tlotach yn cyflwyno eu hunain i'w sgrinio, felly mae'n rhaid i ni ystyried hynny hefyd, a sicrhau ein bod yn gwneud iawn am hynny, nid yn unig o ran sgrinio serfigol ond yn fwy cyffredinol o ran sgrinio. O ran niwrowahaniaeth, fe welwch yn yr atodiad fod niwrowahaniaeth yn fater sydd wedi'i restru yno sy'n amlwg, rwy'n credu, angen ychydig o sylw pan ddaw'n fater o ddeall y gall menywod ddangos symptomau gwahanol i rai dynion. A gwn y bydd gan fy nghyd-Aelod Julie Morgan, sy'n gyfrifol am hynny, ddiddordeb mewn mynd ar drywydd hynny hefyd.
English: Thank you, Minister, for today's statement. As you know, perinatal mental health support and the heart attack gender gap are extremely important to me, but we need to talk about the menopause too. The menopause is a natural process that all women go through. However, many women find it a very stressful time, like any time of change. I'm really happy to see fewer and fewer women afraid or embarrassed to talk about this change and more and more women opting for treatment, but we need to be ready to meet this demand. I think it's extremely important that we remember that the menopause is a very personal change. We all go on our own journey and it will affect us all differently. After needing surgery over 11 years ago, I was thrown into the menopause, and, after chatting with my consultant, I opted to go with HRT treatment. I was afraid at first, after hearing some of the potential risks that come with HRT, but it's what worked for me and I wouldn't be without it. Echoing Delyth's contribution, I know that the Minister announced, earlier this year, that she will be taking part in the UK menopause taskforce following the struggle of supply in HRT. Can we please receive an update regarding the work of the taskforce to date? Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch, Gweinidog, am y datganiad heddiw. Fel y gwyddoch chi, mae cymorth iechyd meddwl amenedigol a'r bwlch rhwng y rhywiau sy'n dioddef trawiad ar y galon yn eithriadol o bwysig i mi, ond mae angen i ni siarad am y menopos hefyd. Mae'r menopos yn broses naturiol y mae pob menyw yn mynd drwyddi. Fodd bynnag, mae llawer o fenywod yn mynd drwy gyfnod llawn straen, fel a geir ar unrhyw adeg o newid. Rwy'n hapus iawn i weld llai a llai o fenywod yn ofni neu'n teimlo anghyfforddus wrth siarad am y newid hwn a mwy a mwy o fenywod yn dewis cael triniaeth, ond mae angen i ni fod yn barod i ateb y galw hwn. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig dros ben ein bod yn cofio bod y menopos yn newid personol iawn. Rydym ni i gyd yn mynd ar ein taith ein hunain a bydd yn effeithio ar bob un ohonom yn wahanol. Ar ôl bod ag angen llawdriniaeth dros 11 mlynedd yn ôl, cefais fy nhaflu i'r menopos, ac, ar ôl sgwrsio gyda fy meddyg ymgynghorol, dewisais driniaeth HRT. Roeddwn i'n ofni ar y dechrau, ar ôl clywed rhai o'r risgiau posibl sy'n dod gyda HRT, ond dyna a weithiodd i mi ac ni fyddwn hebddo. Gan adleisio cyfraniad Delyth, gwn i'r Gweinidog gyhoeddi, yn gynharach eleni, y bydd yn cymryd rhan yn nhasglu menopos y DU yn dilyn trafferthion cyflenwi HRT. A gawn ni'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am waith y tasglu hyd yma? Diolch.
English: Thanks very much, Buffy, and I know you, too, have had your issues in relation to women's health as well. I think it's really important that people talk about the menopause now, and it's great that people are being a bit more open about it. And I think there's a lot we can do to support women with the menopause and we've got to understand - . In the workplace as well, I think there's a job for unions to do to draw this to people's attention, and I think it's really important that people understand, as you say, that everybody's journey is different. Just in relation to the menopause, we now have a task and finish group in Wales looking at the menopause, and that will feed into the UK menopause taskforce that, of course, Carolyn Harris is very active on and leading the way on in the UK. Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Buffy, ac rwy'n gwybod eich bod chithau hefyd wedi bod â phroblemau o ran iechyd menywod. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig iawn bod pobl yn siarad am y menopos nawr, ac mae'n wych bod pobl ychydig yn fwy agored am y peth. Ac rwy'n credu bod llawer y gallwn ni ei wneud i gefnogi menywod â'r menopos ac mae'n rhaid i ni ddeall - . Yn y gweithle hefyd, rwy'n credu bod gwaith i undebau ei wneud i dynnu sylw pobl at hyn, ac rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig iawn bod pobl yn deall, fel y dywedwch chi, fod taith pawb yn wahanol. O ran y menopos, mae gennym bellach grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen yng Nghymru sy'n edrych ar y menopos, a bydd hynny'n gwneud cyfraniadau i dasglu menopos y DU, y mae Carolyn Harris, wrth gwrs, yn weithgar iawn arno ac yn arwain y ffordd ymlaen yn y DU. Diolch yn fawr.
