English: Thank you for your answer, Minister. I appreciate what you've said. I think, from my perspective, we as Welsh Conservatives were raising deep concerns about the level of hospital-acquired infections in Wales from last summer onwards. There was a sense, I feel, that the Welsh Government was shrugging its shoulders at the time, with your predecessor saying that lessons had been learnt. [ Interruption.] I can hear the former health Minister; he should be listening to what I'm saying rather than dismissing what I'm saying. But what I would say to you, Minister, is that there was a great focus last year on community transmission - and I wouldn't dismiss that; that is correct, there should be that focus - but there wasn't that focus last summer and last year in terms of infection in hospital settings. Now, we now know that one in four deaths across Wales were probably or definitely as a direct result of ward-to-ward transmission. In Hywel Dda itself, it's one in three deaths. That's significant, and I'm sure, Minister, you wouldn't disagree how significant those figures are. That's 1,000 people who have sadly died, with countless loved ones bereaved, when this could have been avoided to a large extent, or to some extent, if the Welsh Government had acted differently. Now, a group of 35 clinicians have also written to the Welsh Government calling for a Welsh public inquiry, and they believe that one of the questions for that investigation should be how healthcare organisations can be guided to reduce this death rate. This is a specific Wales issue, so will you and the First Minister heed the growing concerns and calls, and agree to a public inquiry into the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales? You yourself said in your answer that you're learning as you go along. That's the right approach, but that's surely a reason why we need a public inquiry to properly scrutinise the process.
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Rwy'n derbyn yr hyn rydych wedi'i ddweud. O'm safbwynt i, roeddem ni fel Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn mynegi pryderon mawr am nifer y bobl a gâi eu heintio mewn ysbytai yng Nghymru o'r haf diwethaf ymlaen. Teimlaf fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn codi'i hysgwyddau ar y pryd, gyda'ch rhagflaenydd yn dweud bod gwersi wedi'u dysgu. [ Torri ar draws.] Gallaf glywed y cyn-Weinidog iechyd; dylai fod yn gwrando ar yr hyn rwy'n ei ddweud yn hytrach na diystyru'r hyn rwy'n ei ddweud. Ond yr hyn y byddwn yn ei ddweud wrthych, Weinidog, yw bod ffocws mawr y llynedd ar drosglwyddiad cymunedol - ac ni fyddwn yn diystyru hynny; mae hynny'n gywir, dylid cael y ffocws hwnnw - ond nid oedd gennym y ffocws hwnnw o ran yr haint mewn ysbytai yr haf diwethaf ac y llynedd. Nawr, gwyddom bellach fod un o bob pedair marwolaeth yng Nghymru yn debygol neu'n bendant o fod wedi digwydd i ganlyniad uniongyrchol i drosglwyddiad o ward i ward. Yn Hywel Dda ei hun, mae'n un o bob tair marwolaeth. Mae hynny'n sylweddol, ac rwy'n siŵr, Weinidog, na fyddech yn anghytuno pa mor sylweddol yw'r ffigurau hynny. Dyna 1,000 o bobl sydd wedi marw yn anffodus, gydag anwyliaid dirifedi yn galaru, pan ellid bod wedi osgoi hyn i raddau helaeth, neu i ryw raddau, pe bai Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gweithredu'n wahanol. Nawr, mae grŵp o 35 o glinigwyr hefyd wedi ysgrifennu at Lywodraeth Cymru yn galw am ymchwiliad cyhoeddus yng Nghymru, a chredant mai un o'r cwestiynau y dylid eu gofyn fel rhan o'r ymchwiliad hwnnw yw sut y gellir arwain sefydliadau gofal iechyd i leihau'r gyfradd farwolaeth hon. Mae hwn yn fater penodol i Gymru, felly a wnewch chi a'r Prif Weinidog roi sylw i'r pryderon a'r galwadau cynyddol, a chytuno i ymchwiliad cyhoeddus i'r ffordd yr ymdriniwyd â'r pandemig COVID-19 yng Nghymru? Fe ddywedoch chi eich hun yn eich ateb eich bod yn dysgu wrth fynd ymlaen. Dyna'r ffordd gywir o fynd ati, ond does bosibl nad yw'n rheswm pam ein bod angen ymchwiliad cyhoeddus i graffu'n briodol ar y broses.
