English: I'm very happy to confirm to the Member that all people who are directly employed by the Welsh Government are entitled to time off to attend screening appointments. I would have thought it would be entirely in the interests of any employer to make sure that they support their staff in doing so. The most important asset that any employer has will be the people who work for that service or that business, and the very effective screening services that we have here in Wales will help to keep those staff members fit, well and capable of being in work. So, I think it is not simply in the interest of the individual but it's in the interest of the business as well. If I could, maybe, just referring to what Mike Hedges said about the age extension of bowel screening, just give one illustration of the effectiveness of those programmes. If someone with bowel cancer has that cancer detected as a by-product of emergency intervention in their lives because of other things that have gone wrong, five out of 10 of those people will survive. If someone is diagnosed by their GP as having bowel cancer, seven out of 10 of those people will survive. If your bowel cancer is diagnosed as a result of screening, nine out of 10 people will survive, and that just demonstrates, doesn't it, the real significance of those screening services. And we want to improve the uptake of bowel screening and other screening services. So, it's absolutely in the interests of individuals, but it's equally in the interests of people who employ them as well to make sure that, when you see figures of survival of that sort, people should be released where they need to be released for a screening service to which they've been invited.
Welsh: Rwy'n hapus iawn i gadarnhau i'r Aelod bod hawl gan bob person sy'n cael ei gyflogi'n uniongyrchol gan Lywodraeth Cymru i gael amser i ffwrdd i fynd i apwyntiadau sgrinio. Byddwn i wedi meddwl y byddai'n fantais wirioneddol i unrhyw gyflogwr i wneud yn siŵr ei fod yn cefnogi ei staff i wneud hynny. Yr ased pwysicaf sydd gan unrhyw gyflogwr yw'r bobl sy'n gweithio i'r gwasanaeth hwnnw neu'r busnes hwnnw, a bydd y gwasanaethau sgrinio effeithiol iawn sydd gennym yma yng Nghymru yn helpu i gadw'r aelodau staff hynny yn heini ac yn iach ac yn eu galluogi nhw i fod mewn gwaith. Felly, rwy'n credu ei fod nid yn unig er budd yr unigolyn ond er budd y busnes hefyd. Os caf i, efallai, gyfeirio at yr hyn a ddywedodd Mike Hedges am ymestyn oedran sgrinio'r coluddyn, dim ond i roi un darlun o effeithiolrwydd y rhaglenni hynny. Os yw rhywun â chanser y coluddyn ac mae'r canser hwnnw'n cael ei ganfod yn sgil ymyrraeth frys yn eu bywydau oherwydd pethau eraill sydd wedi mynd o'i le, bydd pump o bob 10 o'r bobl hynny yn goroesi. Os yw rhywun yn cael diagnosis o ganser y coluddyn gan ei feddyg teulu, fe fydd saith o bob 10 o'r bobl hynny yn goroesi. Os cewch ddiagnosis o ganser y coluddyn o ganlyniad i sgrinio, bydd naw o bob 10 o bobl yn goroesi, ac mae hyn yn dangos, onid yw, gwir arwyddocâd y gwasanaethau sgrinio hynny. Ac rydym eisiau gwella'r nifer sy'n manteisio ar sgrinio'r coluddyn a gwasanaethau sgrinio eraill. Felly, mae er budd unigolion yn llwyr, ond mae er budd y bobl sy'n eu cyflogi nhw hefyd i wneud yn siŵr, pan welwch chi ffigurau goroesi o'r math yna, y dylai pobl gael eu rhyddhau pan fo angen eu rhyddhau oherwydd iddyn nhw gael eu gwahodd i gael y gwasanaeth sgrinio hwnnw.
