English: Llywydd, I've no doubt at all that the pressures felt by our fantastic health and social care staff are very real. They have worked through one of the most difficult periods in our lifetimes, and they're now working equally hard to try and make up for all those things that have not been possible while dealing with coronavirus, and they're doing so now against the backcloth of the rising delta variant here in Wales, with the realistic prospect that it will be sending more people back into the health and social care system. So, I agree with what Mr Davies has said about the pressures that people have worked under. What are we doing to help address that? Well, we are employing more staff. At the start of the last Senedd term, there were 74,000 staff in the NHS in Wales; as we go into this term, there are more than 85,000 members of staff. Those are full-time equivalent: in head count, it's well over 100,000, and that's more than 11,000 more staff in the NHS in a single term, and that at a time when his Government in Westminster was cutting the budgets of the Welsh Government year after year after year. I see him shaking his head, but it's a simple matter of fact, a fact not denied by his Government in England, who told us that austerity was something that was completely unavoidable. Despite that, we went on employing more staff in the NHS here in Wales. Over the last six years, we've increased the training places for physiotherapists by 44 per cent, for nurse training places by 72 per cent, for midwifery by 97 per cent. Those people will come out of training, including the new medical school that we're committed to in north Wales, to make sure that staffing in north Wales has a particular focus - they will be available to work in the Welsh health service. They will join those extra staff that are already there, and they will help - they will help. And it's not a solution by itself, I understand, but they will help to address the impact that the last 12 months have had on our staff in health and social care and help to lift that burden from them.
Welsh: Llywydd, nid oes gennyf i amheuaeth o gwbl bod y pwysau a deimlir gan ein staff iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol ardderchog yn real iawn. Maen nhw wedi gweithio drwy un o'r cyfnodau anoddaf yn ein hoes ni, ac maen nhw bellach yn gweithio yr un mor galed i geisio gwneud iawn am yr holl bethau hynny nad ydyn nhw wedi bod yn bosibl wrth ymdrin â'r coronafeirws, ac maen nhw'n gwneud hynny nawr mewn amgylchedd o gynnydd yr amrywiolyn delta yma yng Nghymru, gyda'r posibilrwydd realistig y bydd yn anfon mwy o bobl yn ôl i'r system iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. Felly, rwy'n cytuno â'r hyn y mae Mr Davies wedi ei ddweud am y pwysau y mae pobl wedi gweithio oddi tano. Beth ydym ni'n ei wneud i helpu i fynd i'r afael â hynny? Wel, rydym ni'n cyflogi mwy o staff. Ar ddechrau tymor diwethaf y Senedd, roedd 74,000 o staff yn y GIG yng Nghymru; wrth i ni gychwyn y tymor hwn, mae dros 85,000 o aelodau staff. Mae'r rheini yn gyfwerth ag amser llawn: mewn cyfrif pen, mae ymhell dros 100,000, ac mae hynny dros 11,000 yn fwy o staff yn y GIG mewn un tymor, a hynny ar adeg pan yr oedd ei Lywodraeth ef yn San Steffan yn torri cyllidebau Llywodraeth Cymru flwyddyn ar ôl blwyddyn. Rwy'n ei weld yn ysgwyd ei ben, ond mae'n fater syml o ffaith, ffaith nad yw'n cael ei gwadu gan ei Lywodraeth ef yn Lloegr, a ddywedodd wrthym ni fod cyni cyllidol yn rhywbeth na ellid ei osgoi yn llwyr. Er gwaethaf hynny, aethom ati i gyflogi mwy o staff yn y GIG yma yng Nghymru. Dros y chwe blynedd diwethaf, rydym ni wedi cynyddu'r lleoedd hyfforddi ar gyfer ffisiotherapyddion gan 44 y cant, ar gyfer lleoedd hyfforddi nyrsys gan 72 y cant, ar gyfer bydwreigiaeth gan 97 y cant. Bydd y bobl hynny yn dod allan o hyfforddiant, gan gynnwys yr ysgol feddygol newydd yr ydym ni wedi ymrwymo iddi yn y gogledd, i wneud yn siŵr bod pwyslais penodol ar staffio yn y gogledd - byddan nhw ar gael i weithio yng ngwasanaeth iechyd Cymru. Byddan nhw'n ymuno â'r staff ychwanegol hynny sydd eisoes yno, a byddan nhw'n helpu - byddan nhw'n helpu. Ac nid yw'n ateb ar ei ben ei hun, rwy'n deall hynny, ond byddan nhw'n helpu i fynd i'r afael â'r effaith y mae'r 12 mis diwethaf wedi ei chael ar ein staff ym maes iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol ac yn helpu i godi'r baich hwnnw oddi arnyn nhw.
