English: That's an important point, I think, from Vikki Howells about the practical support that people have been provided with. The food delivery scheme actually didn't reach huge numbers of people, because they didn't need it. Everyone who needed it had a delivery from the free food scheme, but, once supermarkets had significantly expanded their own online delivery slots and prioritised people on that shielded list, the need for a free food delivery scheme was less than we had originally anticipated. So, that significant expansion in online slots needs to continue, and I'll certainly take this up and have a conversation with my colleague Lesley Griffiths, who has regular contact with supermarket retailers on a range of measures, and it's very helpful you've raised it with me today, because it's certainly something to take forward, as I've not previously had direct intelligence brought to me that there's been a reduction in slots. We absolutely want to see that continue, as we face up to what will undoubtedly be a very challenging winter and autumn.
Welsh: Credaf fod hwnnw'n bwynt pwysig gan Vikki Howells am y gefnogaeth ymarferol y mae pobl wedi'i chael. Mewn gwirionedd, ni chyrhaeddodd y cynllun dosbarthu bwyd niferoedd enfawr o bobl, am nad oedd ei angen arnynt. Cafodd pawb oedd eu hangen nwyddau wedi'u dosbarthu iddynt drwy'r cynllun bwyd am ddim, ond ar ôl i archfarchnadoedd ehangu eu slotiau dosbarthu ar-lein eu hunain yn sylweddol, a blaenoriaethu pobl ar y rhestr warchod, roedd yr angen am gynllun dosbarthu bwyd am ddim yn llai na'r hyn a ragwelwyd yn wreiddiol. Felly, mae angen i'r cynnydd sylweddol a welwyd yn nifer y slotiau ar-lein barhau, a byddaf yn sicr yn mynd i'r afael â hyn ac yn cael sgwrs gyda fy nghyd-Aelod Lesley Griffiths, sy'n cysylltu'n rheolaidd â manwerthwyr archfarchnadoedd ar ystod o fesurau, ac mae'n ddefnyddiol iawn eich bod wedi dwyn hyn i fy sylw heddiw, oherwydd yn sicr, mae'n rhywbeth i fwrw ymlaen ag ef, gan nad wyf wedi derbyn gwybodaeth uniongyrchol o'r blaen fod gostyngiad yn nifer y slotiau. Rydym yn sicr am weld hynny'n parhau, wrth inni wynebu'r hyn a fydd, yn ddi-os, yn aeaf a hydref heriol iawn.
English: Thank you. This winter, with the continued presence, indeed the resurgence, of COVID-19, we want to ensure that more people than ever receive the flu vaccine. That is why we have extended the eligibility criteria. We're working with key partners to maximise the uptake of the flu vaccine, and additional vaccine supply will be available to support anticipated increased demand.
Welsh: Diolch. Y gaeaf hwn, gyda phresenoldeb parhaus, neu atgyfodiad COVID-19 yn wir, rydym am sicrhau bod mwy o bobl nag erioed yn derbyn brechlyn ffliw. Dyna pam ein bod wedi ymestyn y meini prawf cymhwysedd. Rydym yn gweithio gyda phartneriaid allweddol i sicrhau'r nifer fwyaf sy'n bosibl o frechlynnau ffliw, a bydd cyflenwad ychwanegol o'r brechlyn ar gael i gefnogi'r galw cynyddol a ragwelir.
English: I thank you for that answer. In his evidence session with the Senedd's health committee last week, Dr Quentin Sandifer from Public Health Wales said that 'in ordinary times, we would aspire to a 75 per cent flu vaccination uptake in eligible groups' and that would 'maximise the protective effect'. So, clearly, we want to hit at least that this year. So, what, then, is being done to ensure that we achieve that maximum uptake? Has everyone eligible for the free flu vaccination been contacted by the NHS and are the stocks and the logistical arrangements in place to deliver a record number of doses on time? Given the spike that we've seen in coronavirus testing and absences at the start of the new school term and, given the increased danger of having both coronavirus and flu at the same time, where are we in terms of take-up and delivery of the nasal spray flu vaccination in primary schools?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb. Yn ei sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda phwyllgor iechyd y Senedd yr wythnos diwethaf, dywedodd Dr Quentin Sandifer o Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru mewn cyfnod cyffredin byddem yn anelu at ddarparu brechlyn ffliw i 75 y cant o'r bobl sydd mewn grwpiau cymwys ac y byddai hynny'n 'ymestyn yr effaith amddiffynnol i'r eithaf'. Felly, yn amlwg, hoffem gyflawni o leiaf hynny eleni. Felly, beth sy'n cael ei wneud i sicrhau ein bod yn cyflawni'r gyfradd fwyaf sy'n bosibl? A yw'r GIG wedi cysylltu â phawb sy'n gymwys i gael y brechlyn ffliw am ddim, ac a yw'r stociau a'r trefniadau logistaidd ar waith i ddarparu'r nifer uchaf erioed o ddosau mewn pryd? O ystyried y cynnydd a welsom yn nifer y profion coronafeirws ac absenoldebau ar ddechrau'r tymor ysgol newydd, ac o ystyried y perygl cynyddol o gael y coronafeirws a'r ffliw ar yr un pryd, ble rydym arni o ran y niferoedd sy'n manteisio ar y brechlyn ffliw drwy chwistrelliad trwynol a'i ddarparu mewn ysgolion cynradd?
English: The increase in demand, Minister, is very, very welcome, as is the extension of the eligibility criteria, but, unfortunately, I've got people in my own constituency who have been told they cannot schedule a flu jab appointment with their GPs until a month hence, which is clearly completely unacceptable, particularly for those in those vulnerable categories that you've already referred to. And, of course, it's not just the flu vaccine that some people need to access; there's also the pneumococcal vaccine to protect people against pneumonia, and I'm aware that there are shortages of that vaccine across Wales and, indeed, other parts of the UK at present. What action are you taking to make sure that there is sufficient capacity within the system to be able to meet the request for vaccination from all those who need it?
Welsh: Weinidog, mae'r cynnydd yn y galw i'w groesawu'n fawr iawn, fel y mae ymestyn y meini prawf cymhwysedd, ond yn anffodus, mae gennyf bobl yn fy etholaeth sydd wedi cael clywed na allant drefnu apwyntiad i gael pigiad rhag y ffliw yn eu meddygfeydd am fis arall, sy'n amlwg yn gwbl annerbyniol, yn enwedig i'r rheini yn y categorïau agored i niwed rydych eisoes wedi cyfeirio atynt. Ac wrth gwrs, nid dim ond y brechlyn ffliw y mae pobl am ei gael; ceir brechlyn niwmococol hefyd i ddiogelu pobl rhag niwmonia, ac rwy'n ymwybodol fod yna brinder o'r brechlyn hwnnw ledled Cymru a rhannau eraill o'r DU ar hyn o bryd. Pa gamau rydych chi'n eu cymryd i sicrhau bod digon o gapasiti yn y system i allu diwallu'r galw am frechiad i bawb sydd ei angen?
English: There's a mix in terms of the provision. So the UK Government normally procure flu vaccine supplies for across the UK, and that's where we've agreed to have an increased UK procurement exercise, and a range of GP practices also procure their own as well. We are aware of some challenges in supply and those are short-term matters, is our understanding. So, for example, one of the major manufacturers has decided to stagger the release of the flu vaccine this year, which is why some community pharmacies and some practices may experience a delay and a staging in the way they can deliver the vaccine. In terms of what is and isn't acceptable, I think it's the case, as I said, that because flu circulation tends to take place later in the winter, through December, the important point is to use September, October and November to get as many people vaccinated as possible to provide that level of protection ahead of the peak of the flu season. We'll continue to work with both general practice and community pharmacy. And I would say that if there are real challenges in the supply, as opposed to a staggering of the supply, because the two are different, as ever we'll continue to work on this issue in a constructive way across the UK. It's one of the areas where all four Governments, regardless of political leadership, do have a very grown-up and, I think, effective way of working with each other.
Welsh: Mae'r ddarpariaeth yn gymysg. Felly mae Llywodraeth y DU fel arfer yn caffael cyflenwadau o'r brechlyn ffliw ar gyfer y DU gyfan, a dyna lle rydym wedi cytuno i gael ymarfer caffael mwy eang yn y DU, ac mae amryw o bractisau meddygon teulu hefyd yn caffael eu brechlyn eu hunain. Rydym yn ymwybodol o heriau yn y cyflenwad a phroblemau yn y tymor byr yw'r rheini yn ôl ein dealltwriaeth ni. Felly, er enghraifft, mae un o'r prif weithgynhyrchwyr wedi penderfynu rhyddhau'r brechlyn ffliw fesul cam eleni, a dyna pam y bydd rhai fferyllfeydd cymunedol a rhai practisau'n profi oedi ac yn mynd ati i ddarparu'r brechlyn fesul cam. O ran yr hyn sy'n dderbyniol neu'n annerbyniol, rwy'n credu ei bod yn wir, fel y dywedais, oherwydd bod lledaeniad y ffliw yn tueddu i ddigwydd yn ddiweddarach yn y gaeaf, drwy fis Rhagfyr, y pwynt pwysig yw defnyddio mis Medi, mis Hydref a mis Tachwedd i gael cynifer o bobl â phosibl wedi'u brechu er mwyn darparu lefel o ddiogelwch cyn i'r tymor ffliw gyrraedd ei anterth. Byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda meddygon teulu a fferylliaeth gymunedol. A byddwn yn dweud, os oes heriau gwirioneddol yn y cyflenwad, yn hytrach na bod y cyflenwad yn cael ei ryddhau fesul cam, oherwydd mae'r ddau'n wahanol, fel bob amser byddwn yn parhau i weithio ar hynny mewn ffordd adeiladol ledled y DU. Mae'n un o'r meysydd lle mae gan bob un o'r pedair Llywodraeth, waeth pwy yw'r arweinwyr gwleidyddol, ffordd aeddfed ac effeithiol iawn o weithio gyda'i gilydd yn fy marn i.
English: I feel that Joyce Watson's question is hugely important, particularly in the light of the COVID crisis, where there are figures to show that the take-up of flu vaccines is much reduced amongst the most vulnerable. Perhaps this is because people are fearful of attending surgeries - a fact that may well be the result of doctors being reluctant to engage with all but the seriously ill. The low take-up is particularly worrying given the fact that in the last 14 weeks, the flu killed 10 times as many people as COVID. Is this part of the statistics that would prompt some scientists to say that the lockdown measures could kill 75,000 people? Minister, given the devastating effects lockdowns have on society as a whole, can you assure the people of Wales that the lockdowns will only occur once all available scientific advice is sought and that they will end at the earliest possible date that data no longer supports the lockdown?
Welsh: Teimlaf fod cwestiwn Joyce Watson yn eithriadol o bwysig, yn enwedig yng ngoleuni'r argyfwng COVID, lle mae ffigurau'n dangos bod y nifer sy'n manteisio ar frechlynnau ffliw yn llawer llai ymhlith y rhai mwyaf agored i niwed. Efallai mai'r rheswm am hyn yw bod pobl yn ofni mynychu meddygfeydd - rhywbeth a allai ddeillio o amharodrwydd meddygon i ymgysylltu â phawb heblaw pobl sy'n ddifrifol wael. Mae'r nifer isel sy'n manteisio ar y brechlyn yn peri pryder arbennig o gofio bod y ffliw wedi lladd 10 gwaith cymaint o bobl â COVID yn ystod y 14 wythnos diwethaf. A yw hyn yn rhan o'r ystadegau a fyddai'n annog rhai gwyddonwyr i ddweud y gallai'r cyfyngiadau ladd 75,000 o bobl? Weinidog, o gofio'r effeithiau dinistriol y mae cyfyngiadau symud yn eu cael ar gymdeithas yn gyffredinol, a allwch chi sicrhau pobl Cymru mai dim ond ar ôl cael yr holl gyngor gwyddonol sydd ar gael y bydd y cyfyngiadau'n digwydd ac y byddant yn dod i ben cyn gynted ag y ceir data nad yw'n cefnogi'r cyfyngiadau?
English: Thank you, Llywydd, and I'll pick up on the important questions about flu vaccination. I draw your attention to a recent study in Italy that has noted a relationship between flu vaccination rates and the severity of coronavirus symptoms and survival rates. In regions where more people over 65 had taken up the flu vaccine last year, there were fewer deaths or people having to go to hospital because of coronavirus this year. We can only guess, at this point, at the reason for that, but because we're very eager to restrict the spread of the flu anyway, it strikes me that ensuring that the flu vaccine is available for everyone who wants it, and not just the target groups, would be a very valuable investment, not only in tackling the usual winter pressures on the NHS, but also in reducing the impact of the coronavirus. So, as well as the commitment to encourage more people to get the vaccine, would you be willing to commit to extending it to everyone because that could be a good investment?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd, a gwnaf innau bigo i fyny ar y cwestiynau pwysig yna ynglŷn â brechlyn y ffliw. Gaf i dynnu eich sylw chi at astudiaeth ddiweddar yn yr Eidal sydd wedi nodi perthynas rhwng cyfraddau brechu'r ffliw a chyfraddau symptomau a goroesi coronafeirws? Mewn rhanbarthau lle'r oedd mwy o bobl dros 65 oed wedi manteisio ar y brechlyn ffliw y llynedd, mi oedd yna lai o farwolaethau neu bobl yn gorfod mynd i'r ysbyty oherwydd coronafeirws eleni. Gallwn ni ddim ond dyfalu ar y pwynt yma beth ydy'r rheswm am hynny, ond gan ein bod ni yn eiddgar i gyfyngu ar ledaeniad y ffliw beth bynnag, mi oedd yn fy nharo i y gallai gwneud yn siŵr bod y brechlyn ffliw ar gael i bawb sydd eisiau ei gael o, nid dim ond grwpiau targed, yn fuddsoddiad gwerthfawr iawn, nid yn unig wrth fynd i'r afael â phwysau arferol y gaeaf ar yr NHS, ond hefyd i leihau effaith coronafeirws. Felly, yn ogystal â'r ymrwymiad i gael mwy o bobl i gael y brechlyn, a fyddech yn fodlon ymrwymo i rywbeth pellach, sef ei ehangu fo i bawb gan y gallai hynny fod yn fuddsoddiad da?
English: Well, first, to plan and to deliver an effective seasonal flu campaign, and this will be our largest ever seasonal flu campaign - we expect to deliver more flu vaccines than ever before to the people of Wales this winter - we need to make choices in advance of the season to be able to do that, and we have chosen to target and to increase significantly the amount of flu vaccine that we procure for the people of Wales and that we then deliver. The question about whether we should have whole-population coverage in terms of the NHS campaign is rather out of the scope of where we are at present, but it's something that we can consider in the future. It's not currently supported by the joint committee that advises the Welsh Government and all UK Governments on the delivery of vaccination programmes. But, as ever, as the evidence base changes, then we're of course prepared to shift and to change our position, because the objective here is how we protect as many lives as possible, and avoid as much harm as possible, whether that's from COVID, the flu or indeed a range of other infectious diseases and conditions that we know are a regular challenge for how we live our lives today.
Welsh: Wel, yn gyntaf, er mwyn cynllunio a chyflwyno ymgyrch brechlyn ffliw tymhorol effeithiol, a hon fydd ein hymgyrch ffliw tymhorol fwyaf erioed - rydym yn disgwyl y byddwn yn darparu mwy o frechlynnau ffliw nag erioed o'r blaen i bobl Cymru y gaeaf hwn - mae angen inni wneud dewisiadau cyn y tymor er mwyn gallu gwneud hynny, ac rydym wedi dewis targedu a chynyddu'n sylweddol faint o frechlynnau ffliw rydym yn eu caffael i bobl Cymru, brechlynnau y byddwn yn eu darparu yn sgil hynny wedyn. Mae'r cwestiwn a ddylem ymestyn ymgyrch y GIG i gynnwys y boblogaeth gyfan ychydig y tu hwnt i gwmpas yr hyn y gellir ei wneud yn ein sefyllfa ar hyn o bryd, ond mae'n rhywbeth y gallwn ei ystyried yn y dyfodol. Nid yw'n cael ei gefnogi ar hyn o bryd gan y cydbwyllgor sy'n cynghori Llywodraeth Cymru a holl Lywodraethau'r DU ar ddarparu rhaglenni brechu. Ond fel arfer, wrth i'r sylfaen dystiolaeth newid, rydym yn barod i addasu a newid ein safbwynt wrth gwrs, gan mai'r amcan yma yw sut rydym yn diogelu cynifer o fywydau â phosibl, ac osgoi cymaint o niwed â phosibl, boed yn sgil COVID, y ffliw neu'n wir, ystod o glefydau a chyflyrau heintus eraill y gwyddom eu bod yn her reolaidd i'r ffordd rydym yn byw ein bywydau heddiw.
English: Thank you. I'll move on. As more restrictions are imposed on people across Wales, it's very important to show that we have learned lessons from the full original lockdown. And I've seen one report that says that as many as 50 per cent of people just didn't want to see professional health workers in terms of medical conditions during that lockdown because, very simply, they didn't want to bother the NHS. But even though the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee this morning did hear that the number of visits to doctors and A&E departments, and so on, have risen - that's a good thing - Tenovus Cancer Care estimates that there may be 2,000 people who are living with cancer without diagnosis, and still haven't visited a GP because of the pandemic. So what assurance can you give to those people - people who do feel more nervous now, as the new restrictions come into force - that the NHS is still open to everyone, and to encourage those patients who are lost in the system to look for medical advice?
Welsh: Diolch. Mi symudaf i ymlaen. Wrth i fwy o gyfyngiadau gael eu rhoi ar bobl ledled Cymru, mae hi'n bwysig iawn dangos ein bod ni wedi dysgu gwersi o'r cyfnod clo llawn gwreiddiol. A dwi wedi gweld un adroddiad sy'n dweud bod cymaint â 50 y cant o bobl jest ddim eisiau mynd i weld gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol ynglŷn â chyflwr meddygol yn ystod y cyfnod clo yna, achos yn syml iawn doedden nhw ddim eisiau poeni yr NHS. Rŵan, er bod y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon y bore yma wedi clywed bod niferoedd ymweliadau at feddygon ac i adrannau brys, ac yn y blaen, wedi codi erbyn hyn - mae hynny'n beth da - mae Tenovus Cancer Care yn amcangyfrif y gallai fod yna 2,000 o bobl yn byw efo canser heb ddiagnosis yn dal ddim wedi mynd at y meddyg teulu eto o ganlyniad i'r pandemig. Pa sicrwydd allwch chi ei roi i'r bobl hynny - pobl sydd, wrth gwrs, yn teimlo'n fwy nerfus rŵan wrth i'r cyfyngiadau newydd ddod i mewn - fod yr NHS yn dal ar agor i bawb, ac annog y cleifion hynny sydd ar goll yn y system i fynd i chwilio am gyngor meddygol?
English: But there are people though who are already in the system and who've faced a journey that's much, much longer than it would have been. And you'll have heard me make repeated calls about the need to structure services in a way that will allow treatments to resume, diagnosis services to resume, and so on, at a much faster rate than they are currently. Again this week I've heard concerns from surgeons - one of the royal colleges - that this isn't happening still to the extent that it's needed. It might be understandable that the publication of referral-to-treatment data was suspended at the beginning of the pandemic, but here we are now on the last day of September and the last available data was published in March, and those were figures for January. RTT data provides a crucial insight into how long people are in the system, how long they're waiting, across all health boards, all specialities. And with elective services across Wales, we know, decimated by the outbreak, without the data we have no way of knowing the scale of the backlog problems we're facing within NHS Wales. And every statistic is a patient, waiting in pain, quite often. So, now that we're over six months into the pandemic, will you urgently make this data publicly available?
Welsh: Ond mae yna bobl sydd eisoes yn y system ac sydd wedi wynebu taith lawer hwy nag y byddai wedi bod. A byddwch wedi fy nghlywed yn gwneud galwadau mynych am yr angen i strwythuro gwasanaethau mewn ffordd a fydd yn caniatáu i driniaethau ailddechrau, i wasanaethau diagnosis ailddechrau, ac yn y blaen, yn llawer cyflymach nag ar hyn o bryd. Unwaith eto yr wythnos hon rwyf wedi clywed pryderon gan lawfeddygon - un o'r colegau brenhinol - nad yw hyn yn digwydd i'r graddau sydd ei angen o hyd. Efallai ei bod yn ddealladwy fod camau i gyhoeddi data rhwng atgyfeirio a thriniaeth wedi'u gohirio ar ddechrau'r pandemig, ond dyma ni bellach ar ddiwrnod olaf mis Medi a chyhoeddwyd y data diwethaf a oedd ar gael ym mis Mawrth, a ffigurau ar gyfer mis Ionawr oedd y rheini. Mae data rhwng atgyfeirio a thriniaeth yn rhoi cipolwg hollbwysig ar ba mor hir y mae pobl yn y system, am ba hyd y maent yn aros, ar draws pob bwrdd iechyd, ym mhob arbenigedd. Ac fel y gwyddom, gyda gwasanaethau dewisol ledled Cymru wedi'u cyfyngu'n aruthrol gan y pandemig, heb y data nid oes gennym unrhyw ffordd o wybod maint yr ôl-groniad rydym yn ei wynebu yn GIG Cymru. Ac mae pob ystadegyn yn glaf yn aros mewn poen yn aml iawn. Felly, gan ein bod bellach dros chwe mis i mewn i'r pandemig, a wnewch chi sicrhau bod y data ar gael i'r cyhoedd ar fyrder?
English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. Minister, in the news today we've seen the outbreak at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, and tragically eight people have been reported as losing their lives. We send our condolences to the families of the ones who have lost their lives. There are 83 cases of COVID at that hospital. Earlier in the year, we had an outbreak at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. Both hospitals have major accident and emergency departments for their particular areas, of which we have 13 across Wales. Can you highlight today if there are any similarities between the two outbreaks and, if there are similarities, how will you ensure that this doesn't occur in other A&E receiving hospitals? Because as we go into the winter months, obviously we know what winter pressures do, but with the disruption an outbreak like this causes, as well as the tragedy of loss of life and the general upset that it causes, this is something that we want to avoid at the other hospitals across Wales.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Weinidog, yn y newyddion heddiw rydym wedi gweld y clwstwr o achosion yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg, ac yn drasig dywedwyd bod wyth o bobl wedi colli eu bywydau. Anfonwn ein cydymdeimlad at deuluoedd y rhai sydd wedi colli eu bywydau. Mae 83 o achosion o COVID yn yr ysbyty hwnnw. Yn gynharach yn y flwyddyn, cawsom nifer o achosion yn Ysbyty Maelor Wrecsam. Mae gan y ddau ysbyty adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys mawr ar gyfer eu hardaloedd, ac mae gennym 13 o adrannau o'r fath ledled Cymru. A allwch ddweud heddiw p'un a oes unrhyw debygrwydd rhwng y ddau glwstwr o achosion ac os oes tebygrwydd, sut y gallwch sicrhau na fydd hyn yn digwydd mewn ysbytai eraill sydd ag adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys? Oherwydd wrth inni nesu at fisoedd y gaeaf, mae'n amlwg ein bod yn gwybod beth y mae pwysau'r gaeaf yn ei wneud, ond gyda'r aflonyddwch y mae clwstwr o achosion fel hyn yn ei achosi, yn ogystal â thrasiedi colli bywyd a'r gofid cyffredinol y mae'n ei achosi, mae hyn yn rhywbeth rydym am ei osgoi yn yr ysbytai eraill ledled Cymru.
