English: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, a study recently published by researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has found that mass testing in Slovakia, which we've discussed before, coupled with other measures - additional support for people who are self-isolating - brought the infection rate down by 60 per cent, which is considerably higher than the impact of the recent lockdown, for example, the circuit-breaker, in England. The study found that, due to the nature of the test used in Slovakia, they probably picked up 90 per cent of the people who were tested and were infected in that time, whereas in Liverpool the evidence there suggests that rapid tests have missed 50 per cent of all infections and 30 per cent of those with a high viral load. The technical advisory cell advice published today says that while there are new technologies that will enable more rapid testing, they're not a silver bullet, but the TAC's advice predates this new evidence that I've referred to. So, can you ask TAC to look again and undertake modelling to assess the likely impact of a Slovak-style mass testing programme in Wales as a more effective means of suppressing the virus and an alternative to cycling in and out of higher restrictions?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, mae astudiaeth a gyhoeddwyd yn ddiweddar gan ymchwilwyr yn Ysgol Hylendid a Meddygaeth Drofannol Llundain wedi canfod bod profion torfol yn Slofacia, yr ydym ni wedi eu trafod o'r blaen, ynghyd â mesurau eraill - cymorth ychwanegol i bobl sy'n hunanynysu - wedi gostwng y gyfradd heintio gan 60 y cant, sy'n sylweddol uwch nag effaith y cyfyngiadau symud diweddar, er enghraifft, y cyfnod atal byr, yn Lloegr. Canfu'r astudiaeth, oherwydd natur y prawf a ddefnyddiwyd yn Slofacia, eu bod fwy na thebyg wedi canfod 90 y cant o'r bobl a brofwyd ac a oedd wedi eu heintio yn y cyfnod hwnnw, tra bod y dystiolaeth yn Lerpwl yn awgrymu bod profion cyflym wedi methu 50 y cant o'r holl heintiau a 30 y cant o'r rheini â llwyth feirysol uchel. Mae cyngor y gell cyngor technegol a gyhoeddwyd heddiw yn dweud, er bod technolegau newydd a fydd yn galluogi profion cyflymach, nid ydyn nhw'n fwled arian, ond mae cyngor y gell cyngor technegol yn rhagflaenu'r dystiolaeth newydd hon yr wyf i wedi cyfeirio ati. Felly, a allwch chi ofyn i'r gell cyngor technegol edrych eto a gwneud gwaith modelu i asesu effaith debygol rhaglen profi torfol debyg i'r un yn Slofacia yng Nghymru fel ffordd fwy effeithiol o atal y feirws ac fel dewis yn hytrach na mynd i mewn ac allan o gyfyngiadau uwch?
English: Llywydd, I'm very happy to ask the technical advisory group to do that. They, in any case, constantly update their advice based on emerging evidence, and particularly emerging evidence that is reported in reputable scientific journals of the sort to which Adam Price referred. We have our mass testing programme still going ahead in Merthyr Tydfil, expanded, as the Member will know, into the Cynon Valley over the weekend; we're learning a lot ourselves from doing it. I think it's quite important, Llywydd, to make a distinction between those lateral flow devices that we are using, which, essentially, pick up people who are infectious to others. So, they pick up people a couple of days before symptoms begin, and they continue to pick up people who are infectious for about five days or so beyond that. The PCR tests pick up not people who are infectious, but people who are both infectious and infected, and you can be infected for up to eight weeks beyond the point at which you were infectious to anybody else. PCR tests pick up the very last remnants of coronavirus that still may be circulating in somebody's system. So, it's important to be clear about what the purpose of the test is. I remain sure, myself, that the lateral flow devices that we are using in Wales have a part to play, provided it is carefully understood and properly calibrated.
Welsh: Llywydd, rwy'n hapus iawn i ofyn i'r grŵp cyngor technegol i wneud hynny. Maen nhw, beth bynnag, yn diweddaru eu cyngor yn gyson yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth sy'n dod i'r amlwg, ac yn enwedig tystiolaeth sy'n dod i'r amlwg a adroddir mewn cyfnodolion gwyddonol ag enw da iddyn nhw o'r math y cyfeiriodd Adam Price ato. Mae gennym ni ein rhaglen profion torfol sy'n parhau o hyd ym Merthyr Tudful, wedi'i hehangu, fel y bydd yr Aelod yn gwybod, i Gwm Cynon dros y penwythnos; rydym ni'n dysgu llawer ein hunain o'i wneud. Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n eithaf pwysig, Llywydd, gwahaniaethu rhwng y dyfeisiau llif ochrol hynny yr ydym ni'n eu defnyddio, sydd, yn y bôn, yn canfod pobl sy'n heintus i eraill. Felly, maen nhw'n canfod pobl ychydig ddyddiau cyn i'r symptomau ddechrau, ac maen nhw'n parhau i ganfod pobl sy'n heintus am tua phum diwrnod y tu hwnt i hynny. Nid pobl sy'n heintus y mae'r profion PCR yn eu canfod, ond pobl sy'n heintus ac wedi'u heintio, a gallwch chi gael eich heintio am hyd at wyth wythnos y tu hwnt i'r pwynt pan oeddech chi'n heintus i unrhyw un arall. Mae profion PCR yn canfod gweddillion olaf coronafeirws a allai fod yn dal i gylchredeg yn system rhywun. Felly, mae'n bwysig bod yn eglur ynglŷn â beth yw diben y prawf. Rwy'n dal i fod yn siŵr, yn bersonol, bod gan y dyfeisiau llif ochrol yr ydym ni'n eu defnyddio yng Nghymru ran i'w chwarae, ar yr amod bod dealltwriaeth ofalus ohonyn nhw a'u bod yn cael eu graddnodi yn briodol.
English: Thank you for that, First Minister. In the TAC advice that I just referred to, they do say that a period of pre-isolation for families with children, as a result of school closures, could reduce the level of social mixing ahead of the 23 to 28 December period, and therefore have a beneficial effect in terms of saving lives. Are you considering this as an option, First Minister, and if you are, could you say when you would plan on announcing it? And what mitigating measures would you put in place, in the form of blended learning, the continued operation of hub schools, for example, to minimise wider harms, and would you agree that it's essential that no child's education or wider welfare should be unfairly disadvantaged as a result of this? Can you give an assurance that the key workers in the NHS and other sectors shouldn't be put in the invidious position of having to choose between turning up for work or looking after their children during this period?
Welsh: Diolch am hynna, Prif Weinidog. Yng nghyngor y gell cyngor technegol yr wyf i newydd gyfeirio ato, maen nhw yn dweud y gallai cyfnod cyn-ynysu i deuluoedd â phlant, o ganlyniad i gau ysgolion, leihau lefel y cymysgu cymdeithasol cyn y cyfnod rhwng 23 a 28 Rhagfyr, ac felly cael effaith fuddiol o ran achub bywydau. A ydych chi'n ystyried hyn fel opsiwn, Prif Weinidog, ac os ydych chi, a allech chi ddweud pryd y byddech chi'n bwriadu ei gyhoeddi? A pha fesurau lliniaru fyddech chi'n eu rhoi ar waith, ar ffurf dysgu cyfunol, parhau i weithredu ysgolion hyb, er enghraifft, i leihau niweidiau ehangach, ac a fyddech chi'n cytuno ei bod hi'n hanfodol na ddylai addysg na lles ehangach unrhyw blentyn fod o dan anfantais annheg o ganlyniad i hyn? A allwch chi roi sicrwydd na ddylid rhoi'r gweithwyr allweddol yn y GIG a sectorau eraill yn y sefyllfa annymunol o orfod dewis rhwng dod i'r gwaith neu ofalu am eu plant yn ystod y cyfnod hwn?
English: Just to be clear, so, in terms of the pre-isolation point then, will Welsh Government be giving wider advice to families in relation to a pre-isolation period? Finally, on Monday, your colleague the health Minister warned that further restrictions may be necessary in response to the rising level of cases. A few weeks previously, the Deputy Minister for the economy also said that a second firebreak in the new year would be likely. Looking forward, the TAC report does also emphasise the importance of maintaining public support, because, otherwise, that could lead to lower levels of adherence among the public, and the advice says that, ideally, the policy and the rules need to be simple, understandable and achievable, accompanied by a clear rationale with an agreed beginning and end. Would you accept, First Minister, that in some people's minds, there is a lack of clarity at the moment as to where we are headed between now and the spring? What is the strategy for regaining control, reopening eventually and then recovery? And isn't now the time, First Minister, in light of the changing situation, that the Welsh Government presents a new winter plan?
Welsh: Dim ond i fod yn eglur, o ran y pwynt cyn-ynysu felly, a fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi cyngor ehangach i deuluoedd ynghylch cyfnod cyn-ynysu? Yn olaf, ddydd Llun, rhybuddiodd eich cyd-Weinidog, y Gweinidog iechyd, y gallai fod angen cyfyngiadau pellach mewn ymateb i'r cynnydd i nifer yr achosion. Ychydig wythnosau yn gynharach, dywedodd Dirprwy Weinidog yr economi hefyd y byddai ail gyfnod atal byr yn y flwyddyn newydd yn debygol. Wrth edrych i'r dyfodol, mae adroddiad y gell cyngor technegol hefyd yn pwysleisio pwysigrwydd cynnal cefnogaeth y cyhoedd, oherwydd, fel arall, gallai hynny arwain at lefelau is o gydymffurfiad ymhlith y cyhoedd, ac mae'r cyngor yn dweud, yn ddelfrydol, bod angen i'r polisi a'r rheolau fod yn syml, yn ddealladwy ac yn gyraeddadwy, wedi'u hategu gan resymeg eglur â dechrau a diwedd y cytunwyd arnyn nhw. A fyddech chi'n derbyn, Prif Weinidog, bod diffyg eglurder ym meddyliau rhai pobl ar hyn o bryd ynglŷn â'n trywydd rhwng nawr a'r gwanwyn? Beth yw'r strategaeth ar gyfer adennill rheolaeth, ailagor yn y pen draw ac yna adfer? Ac onid dyma'r amser, Prif Weinidog, yng ngoleuni'r sefyllfa sy'n newid, i Lywodraeth Cymru gyflwyno cynllun gaeaf newydd?
English: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, when you announced the firebreak lockdown in October, you said that this was our best chance of regaining control of the virus and avoiding a much longer and much more damaging national lockdown. However, yesterday it was confirmed that Wales was the only part of the UK where figures were not falling at the end of November. First Minister, before considering introducing any further restrictions, can you tell us what assessments have been carried out in relation to the Welsh Government's firebreak lockdown, given that figures haven't fallen in Wales compared to other parts of the UK?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, pan wnaethoch chi gyhoeddi'r cyfyngiadau symud ar gyfer y cyfnod atal byr ym mis Hydref, dywedasoch mai dyma oedd ein cyfle gorau i adennill rheolaeth dros y feirws ac osgoi cyfyngiadau symud cenedlaethol llawer hwy a llawer mwy niweidiol. Er hynny, cadarnhawyd ddoe mai Cymru oedd yr unig ran o'r DU lle nad oedd y ffigurau yn gostwng ddiwedd mis Tachwedd. Prif Weinidog, cyn ystyried cyflwyno unrhyw gyfyngiadau pellach, a allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni pa asesiadau sydd wedi eu cynnal o ran cyfyngiadau symud cyfnod atal byr Llywodraeth Cymru, o gofio nad yw'r ffigurau wedi gostwng yng Nghymru o gymharu â rhannau eraill o'r DU?
English: Well, Llywydd, assessments have been made of the firebreak period, a period, of course, which his party refused to support here in the Senedd. It was successful; those 17 days did put the career of coronavirus back three weeks earlier than 23 October. It suppressed the R number here in Wales for a three-week period. It did what we had hoped that it would do. The problems we have faced have been in the post-firebreak period, where the virus has circulated faster and further than the modelling would have suggested, and hence the need to take further action again now.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, mae asesiadau wedi eu cynnal o'r cyfnod atal byr, cyfnod, wrth gwrs, y gwrthododd ei blaid ef ei gefnogi yma yn y Senedd. Roedd yn llwyddiannus; rhoddodd y 17 diwrnod hynny yrfa coronafeirws yn ôl dair wythnos yn gynharach na 23 Hydref. Fe ataliodd y rhif R yma yng Nghymru am gyfnod o dair wythnos. Gwnaeth yr hyn yr oeddem ni wedi gobeithio y byddai'n ei wneud. Mae'r problemau yr ydym ni wedi eu hwynebu wedi bod yn y cyfnod ar ôl y cyfnod atal byr, lle mae'r feirws wedi cylchredeg yn gyflymach ac ymhellach nag y byddai'r modelu wedi ei awgrymu, ac dyna pam mae angen cymryd camau pellach unwaith eto nawr.
English: First Minister, we know that infection rates in Wales are 70 per cent higher than when we entered the firebreak in October, and rates have increased by 82 per cent since the end of the firebreak lockdown. Indeed, the fact is that there are now more than 1,800 coronavirus-related patients in hospitals across Wales, which is the highest number since the pandemic began, and it shows that something has seriously gone wrong. And we know that there is still an issue in hospital settings, and clearly, more work needs to be done to tackle hospital-acquired infections, and there are also concerns over transmission rates in household settings, which you as a Government have been saying throughout this pandemic, of course. Yesterday, as has already been said, the health Minister also warned that the Welsh Government would be looking at whether further measures would be needed to suppress this virus, but the health Minister refused to provide any further details to the people of Wales on what those restrictions would look like and whether they would be concentrated on specific sectors and environments, and whether they would be nationwide restrictions. Therefore, will the First Minister confirm exactly what further measures are now being considered, and is the Welsh Government looking at further restrictions before the Christmas period restrictions, or is the intention to bring in further measures post-Christmas?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, rydym ni'n gwybod bod cyfraddau heintio yng Nghymru 70 y cant yn uwch na phan wnaethom ni ddechrau'r cyfnod atal byr ym mis Hydref, ac mae cyfraddau wedi cynyddu gan 82 y cant ers diwedd cyfyngiadau symud y cyfnod atal byr. Yn wir, y ffaith yw bod mwy na 1,800 o gleifion sy'n gysylltiedig â choronafeirws mewn ysbytai ledled Cymru erbyn hyn, sef y nifer uchaf ers dechrau'r pandemig, ac mae'n dangos bod rhywbeth wedi mynd o'i le yn ddifrifol iawn. Ac rydym ni'n gwybod bod problem o hyd mewn ysbytai, ac yn amlwg, mae angen gwneud mwy o waith i fynd i'r afael â heintiau sy'n deillio o ysbytai, a cheir pryderon hefyd ynghylch cyfraddau trosglwyddo ar aelwydydd, yr ydych chi fel Llywodraeth wedi bod yn ei ddweud drwy gydol y pandemig hwn, wrth gwrs. Ddoe, fel y dywedwyd eisoes, rhybuddiodd y Gweinidog iechyd hefyd y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystyried a fyddai angen mesurau pellach i atal y feirws hwn, ond gwrthododd y Gweinidog iechyd roi unrhyw fanylion pellach i bobl Cymru am sut y byddai'r cyfyngiadau hynny yn edrych ac a fydden nhw'n canolbwyntio ar sectorau ac amgylcheddau penodol, ac a fydden nhw'n gyfyngiadau cenedlaethol. Felly, a wnaiff y Prif Weinidog gadarnhau yn union pa fesurau pellach sy'n cael eu hystyried erbyn hyn, ac a yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystyried cyfyngiadau pellach cyn cyfyngiadau cyfnod y Nadolig, neu ai'r bwriad yw cyflwyno mesurau pellach ar ôl y Nadolig?
English: Well, Llywydd, all those facts and figures that the leader of the opposition began with are the facts and figures that I put to him last week when he refused to support the measures we took in relation to hospitality; measures that this week, I think, nobody could possibly deny were right and necessary. We need to give those measures an opportunity to make a difference. We need them to be accompanied by actions that people can take in their own lives to assist communities right across Wales to get this virus back - the numbers falling once again. I don't think that means that we will be taking further measures this side of Christmas. But the other side of Christmas, the advice in the TAC report published and referred to by Adam Price is clear on this as well: that a period of relaxation over Christmas will lead to a further rise - yet a further rise, beyond the figures that the Member set out in his further question to me. And that means any responsible Government has to think about the measures that might be needed in order to protect the health service so it can go on doing everything else it has to do at the most pressurised point in any year, and to prevent avoidable deaths. I look forward, Llywydd, to the support of the Conservative Party here in Wales for measures that will be necessary, because up until now, that support has been conspicuous by its absence.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, yr holl ffeithiau a ffigurau hynny y dechreuodd arweinydd yr wrthblaid â nhw yw'r ffeithiau a'r ffigurau a roddais i iddo yr wythnos diwethaf pan wrthododd gefnogi'r mesurau a gymerwyd gennym ni o ran lletygarwch; mesurau na allai neb wadu yr wythnos hon, rwy'n credu, eu bod nhw'n iawn ac yn angenrheidiol. Mae angen i ni roi cyfle i'r mesurau hynny wneud gwahaniaeth. Rydym ni angen iddyn nhw gael eu hategu gan gamau y gall pobl eu cymryd yn eu bywydau eu hunain i gynorthwyo cymunedau ledled Cymru i gael y feirws hwn yn ôl - y niferoedd yn gostwng unwaith eto. Nid wyf i'n credu bod hynny'n golygu y byddwn ni'n cymryd camau pellach yr ochr hon i'r Nadolig. Ond yr ochr arall i'r Nadolig, mae'r cyngor yn adroddiad y gell cyngor technegol a gyhoeddwyd ac y cyfeiriwyd ato gan Adam Price yn eglur ynglŷn â hyn hefyd: y bydd cyfnod o lacio dros y Nadolig yn arwain at gynnydd pellach - cynnydd pellach eto, y tu hwnt i'r ffigurau a nodwyd gan yr Aelod yn ei gwestiwn ychwanegol i mi. Ac mae hynny'n golygu bod yn rhaid i unrhyw Lywodraeth gyfrifol feddwl am y mesurau y gallai fod eu hangen er mwyn diogelu'r gwasanaeth iechyd fel ei fod yn gallu parhau i wneud popeth arall y mae'n rhaid iddo ei wneud ar yr adeg y mae fwyaf dan bwysau mewn unrhyw flwyddyn, ac atal marwolaethau y gellir eu hosgoi. Edrychaf ymlaen, Llywydd, at gefnogaeth y Blaid Geidwadol yma yng Nghymru i fesurau a fydd yn angenrheidiol, oherwydd hyd yma, mae'r gefnogaeth honno wedi bod yn drawiadol oherwydd ei habsenoldeb.
English: Llywydd, I thank Carwyn Jones for that. We continue to implement a safe, phased re-establishment of dental services. The majority of dental practices now provide a full range of treatments for patients in Wales. COVID-19-required public health measures, however, remain necessary. Safety considerations mean that fewer patients can be treated in any one clinical session.
Welsh: Llywydd, diolchaf i Carwyn Jones am hynna. Rydym ni'n parhau i weithredu proses ailsefydlu gwasanaethau deintyddol yn ddiogel a fesul cam. Mae'r rhan fwyaf o bractisau deintyddol yn darparu ystod lawn o driniaethau i gleifion yng Nghymru erbyn hyn. Fodd bynnag, mae mesurau iechyd cyhoeddus COVID-19 gofynnol yn parhau i fod yn angenrheidiol. Mae ystyriaethau diogelwch yn golygu y gellir trin llai o gleifion mewn unrhyw un sesiwn glinigol.
English: I thank the First Minister for his response. Does the First Minister share my concerns that the rhetoric, naivety and sheer ineptitude of the Brexiteers in the UK Government will make it far more difficult for us to recruit dentists and other staff for public services during this pandemic and beyond?
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Prif Weinidog am ei ymateb. A yw'r Prif Weinidog yn rhannu fy mhryderon y bydd rhethreg, naïfrwydd ac anfedrusrwydd llwyr cefnogwyr Brexit yn Llywodraeth y DU yn ei gwneud yn llawer anoddach i ni recriwtio deintyddion a staff eraill ar gyfer gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn ystod y pandemig hwn a thu hwnt?
English: First Minister, the issue of dentistry is a very hot topic in the Clwyd West constituency at the moment as a result of an announcement by Bupa Dental Care UK that they're going to be closing their clinic in Colwyn Bay. That's going to affect around 12,000 people in my constituency, and they've been advised by the local health board that they should seek to register with other NHS dentists in the north Wales area. Having contacted those dentists, they're told that they're not taking on extra patients. I heard what you said in response to Carwyn Jones's questions, but the reality is that you should have been training more dentists over the past decade; you shouldn't be having to rely on dentists coming in from overseas. If we had trained sufficient numbers - and you've been responsible for workforce planning for the past 20 years - then we wouldn't be in the pickle that we're currently in, with a shortage of dentists across Wales. Now, I've asked to meet with your health Minister and the chief dental officer to discuss the situation in Colwyn Bay, and they've refused to accept my request for a meeting. So, can you tell me what action is your Government taking to make sure that we've got sufficient numbers of dentists being trained in Wales now to meet the future needs of the Welsh population? And how can you reassure people in Colwyn Bay that they'll have access to NHS dental services as and when they need them in the future?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, mae deintyddiaeth yn bwnc llosg iawn yn etholaeth Gorllewin Clwyd ar hyn o bryd o ganlyniad i gyhoeddiad gan Bupa Dental Care UK y byddan nhw'n yn cau eu clinig ym Mae Colwyn. Mae hynny yn mynd i effeithio ar tua 12,000 o bobl yn fy etholaeth i, ac mae'r bwrdd iechyd lleol wedi eu hysbysu y dylen nhw geisio cofrestru gyda deintyddion eraill y GIG yn ardal y gogledd. Ar ôl iddyn nhw gysylltu â'r deintyddion hynny, dywedir wrthynt nad ydyn nhw'n derbyn cleifion ychwanegol. Clywais yr hyn a ddywedasoch wrth ymateb i gwestiynau Carwyn Jones, ond y realiti yw y dylech chi fod wedi bod yn hyfforddi mwy o ddeintyddion dros y degawd diwethaf; ni ddylech chi fod yn gorfod dibynnu ar ddeintyddion yn dod i mewn o dramor. Pe byddem ni wedi hyfforddi niferoedd digonol - a chi sydd wedi bod yn gyfrifol am gynllunio'r gweithlu dros yr 20 mlynedd diwethaf - yna ni fyddem yn y llanastr yr ydym ni ynddo ar hyn o bryd, gyda phrinder deintyddion ledled Cymru. Nawr, rwyf i wedi gofyn am gyfarfod gyda'ch Gweinidog iechyd a'r prif swyddog deintyddol i drafod y sefyllfa ym Mae Colwyn, ac maen nhw wedi gwrthod derbyn fy nghais am gyfarfod. Felly, a allwch chi ddweud wrthyf i pa gamau y mae eich Llywodraeth yn eu cymryd i sicrhau bod gennym ni ddigon o ddeintyddion yn cael eu hyfforddi yng Nghymru nawr i ddiwallu anghenion poblogaeth Cymru yn y dyfodol? A sut y gallwch chi sicrhau pobl ym Mae Colwyn y bydd gwasanaethau deintyddol y GIG ar gael iddyn nhw pan fyddan nhw eu hangen yn y dyfodol?
