English: Llywydd, thank you. I formally move the motion before us, tabled today in the name of the Welsh Conservatives by Darren Millar. You will see that we ask that the Welsh Assembly 'Notes the concerns expressed by patients and clinicians across Wales regarding the performance and future of NHS emergency departments. 'Rejects proposals by Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board which could lead to an end to 24-hour consultant-led services at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital's emergency department.' and we're calling upon the Welsh Government 'to intervene to prevent any downgrading or closures of emergency departments in Wales during this Assembly.' Now, before I start, I do want to make it clear that the numerical information within my contribution has been taken directly from StatsWales, the Nuffield Trust, the Welsh Government itself or the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. And this is an important point to make, because we must not allow the Welsh Government to be in denial over the situation we are seeing and that staff and patients are experiencing across Wales's emergency departments. Nor can we allow Labour and the Welsh Government to continue to blame austerity or finances, the Conservatives down the M4 corridor, or untold, unknown and unexplained pressures or, indeed, the statistics they don't like, because the concerns expressed by patients and clinicians are at an all-time high. Yesterday, I heard the First Minister repeat the mantra that the NHS satisfaction survey reported a 93 per cent satisfaction rate, but you know, Minister, and I know that this is a use of quantitative statistics at its worst, because it pays no heed to the deeper analysis required. People are grateful for the service they've got, but when you ask them how the service performed they will tell you about the waits, they will tell you about the lost records and the moving around the hospitals. And let me quote directly from some of the responses to the big NHS survey that the Welsh Conservatives are currently running across social media platforms. Here's one: 'In the main, quite happy with my treatment with the exception of A&E where, due to understaffing, due to too much money spent of management who don't appear to understand what a hospital's supposed to do, they work their socks off despite being under-resourced'. Or another: 'I called an ambulance for my 87-year-old unconscious relative. It took over an hour and a half to arrive. They took her to Wrexham hospital. After eight hours, they'd done nothing. Fantastic staff are working reliably. A&E waiting times are not good enough. My relative wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the doctors and nurses, but the system was appalling.' So, of course, they are 93 per cent satisfied that their relative is still there, but the experience was horrendous. And clinicians tell us that winter 2019-20 has been difficult, with the lowest percentage of patients being admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours since records began - and let me repeat that - since records began. In December 2019, only 66.4 per cent of patients were seen within four hours - sounds good? Well, let's flip that around. That's 33.6 per cent of patients who are not seen within four hours. Let me repeat that: that's one third of patients who waited longer than four hours to be seen at an A&E in Wales. But Members, the number of attendees in December 2019 is not a shocker. This is an average of 55,560 patients turning up to our emergency departments each month so far this winter, compared with 67,490 last winter, and 65,629 the winter before that. So, let me repeat that: fewer patients are turning up at our A&Es this winter than last year and the year before, but the performance has gone down. And given that a third of patients were not seen within four hours, then it is only logical that the number of patients waiting more than eight and 12 hours is increasing every winter - StatsWales, your information.
Welsh: Lywydd, diolch. Rwy'n cynnig yn ffurfiol y cynnig ger ein bron a gyflwynwyd heddiw yn enw Ceidwadwyr Cymru gan Darren Millar. Fe welwch ein bod yn gofyn i Gynulliad Cymru 'Nodi'r pryderon a fynegwyd gan gleifion a chlinigwyr ledled Cymru ynghylch perfformiad a dyfodol adrannau achosion brys y GIG.' i 'wrthod cynigion gan Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Cwm Taf Morgannwg a allai arwain at roi terfyn ar wasanaethau 24 awr a gaiff eu harwain gan feddygon ymgynghorol yn adran achosion brys Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg.' ac rydym yn galw ar Lywodraeth Cymru i 'ymyrryd er mwyn atal unrhyw achos o israddio neu gau adrannau achosion brys yng Nghymru yn ystod y Cynulliad hwn.' Nawr, cyn i mi ddechrau, hoffwn ddweud yn glir fod y wybodaeth rifiadol yn fy nghyfraniad wedi'i chymryd yn uniongyrchol gan StatsCymru, Ymddiriedolaeth Nuffield, Llywodraeth Cymru ei hun neu'r Coleg Brenhinol Meddygaeth Frys. Ac mae hwn yn bwynt pwysig i'w wneud, gan fod yn rhaid i ni beidio â chaniatáu i Lywodraeth Cymru wadu'r sefyllfa rydym yn ei gweld ac y mae staff a chleifion yn ei hwynebu ar draws adrannau brys Cymru. Ni allwn ychwaith ganiatáu i Lafur a Llywodraeth Cymru barhau i feio cyni neu gyllid, y Ceidwadwyr i lawr coridor yr M4, neu bwysau di-baid, anhysbys ac anesboniadwy, neu'n wir, yr ystadegau nad ydynt yn eu hoffi, gan fod y pryderon a fynegir gan gleifion a chlinigwyr yn uwch nag erioed. Ddoe, clywais y Prif Weinidog yn ailadrodd y mantra fod arolwg boddhad y GIG wedi nodi cyfradd boddhad o 93 y cant, ond fe wyddoch chi, Weinidog, a gwn innau mai'r defnydd o ystadegau meintiol ar ei waethaf yw hyn, gan nad yw'n rhoi unrhyw sylw i'r dadansoddi dyfnach sy'n ofynnol. Mae pobl yn ddiolchgar am y gwasanaeth sydd ganddynt, ond pan ofynnwch iddynt sut y perfformiodd y gwasanaeth, byddant yn dweud wrthych am yr amseroedd aros, byddant yn dweud wrthych am y cofnodion coll a'r symud o gwmpas yr ysbytai. A gadewch i mi ddyfynnu'n uniongyrchol o rai o'r ymatebion i arolwg mawr y GIG y mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn ei gynnal ar blatfformau'r cyfryngau cymdeithasol ar hyn o bryd. Dyma un: Ar y cyfan, rwy'n eithaf hapus gyda fy nhriniaeth ac eithrio'r adran damweiniau ac achosion brys lle maent yn gweithio'n ofnadwy o galed er nad oes ganddynt ddigon o adnoddau, a hynny oherwydd prinder staff, oherwydd bod gormod o arian yn cael ei wario ar reolwyr nad ymddengys eu bod yn deall beth y mae ysbyty i fod i'w wneud. Neu un arall: Ffoniais am ambiwlans ar gyfer fy mherthynas 87 oed, a oedd yn anymwybodol. Cymerodd dros awr a hanner i gyrraedd. Fe aethant â hi i ysbyty Wrecsam. Ar ôl wyth awr, nid oeddent wedi gwneud dim. Mae'r staff gwych yn gweithio'n ddibynadwy. Nid yw amseroedd aros mewn adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys yn ddigon da. Ni fyddai fy mherthynas yma heddiw oni bai am y meddygon a'r nyrsys, ond roedd y system yn warthus. Felly, wrth gwrs, maent 93 y cant yn fodlon fod eu perthynas yn dal i fod yma, ond roedd y profiad yn erchyll. A dywed clinigwyr wrthym fod gaeaf 2019-20 wedi bod yn anodd, gyda'r ganran isaf o gleifion yn cael eu derbyn, eu trosglwyddo neu eu rhyddhau o fewn pedair awr ers dechrau cadw cofnodion - a gadewch i mi ailadrodd hynny - ers dechrau cadw cofnodion. Ym mis Rhagfyr 2019, 66.4 y cant yn unig o gleifion a welwyd o fewn pedair awr - swnio'n dda? Wel, gadewch i ni droi hynny ar ei ben. Dyna 33.6 y cant o gleifion na chawsant eu gweld o fewn pedair awr. Gadewch i mi ailadrodd hynny: arhosodd traean o'r cleifion fwy na phedair awr i gael eu gweld mewn adran damweiniau ac achosion brys yng Nghymru. Ond Aelodau, nid yw nifer y cleifion ym mis Rhagfyr 2019 yn syndod. Mae cyfartaledd o 55,560 o gleifion wedi dod i'n hadrannau brys bob mis hyd yn hyn y gaeaf hwn, o gymharu â 67,490 y gaeaf diwethaf, a 65,629 y gaeaf cyn hynny. Felly, gadewch i mi ailadrodd hynny: mae llai o gleifion yn dod i'n hadrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys y gaeaf hwn na'r llynedd a'r flwyddyn flaenorol, ond mae'r perfformiad wedi gwaethygu. Ac o ystyried na welwyd traean o'r cleifion o fewn pedair awr, mae'n gwneud synnwyr fod nifer y cleifion sy'n aros mwy nag wyth a 12 awr yn cynyddu bob gaeaf - StatsCymru, eich gwybodaeth chi.
