English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I want to thank Members, not just the committee members for their report, but Members for the debate today, and the range of recommendations that we've had an opportunity to discuss, and their contribution to helping us deliver a sustainable workforce for NHS Wales. I recognise, as the committee do too, that there are UK-wide challenges in recruiting and retaining doctors in some specialities, and in particular the point that Dai Lloyd highlighted in his opening remarks: the additional risk created by both Brexit uncertainty and our eventual path out of the European Union. It's worth again highlighting the view of this Government: we welcome the fact that European Union nationals are here in Wales as doctors and other healthcare professionals, but more than that, as members of the communities that each of us is privileged to represent up and down our country. And, again, to take on board Julie Morgan's point, there are many doctors that we rely upon to help deliver our services from other parts of the world. And back to your really good example of a really engaged medical workforce who want to carry on being proud of where they and their families are from, but also are incredibly passionate and proud about our national health service, and go out and sell Wales to other parts of the world incredibly effectively. Of course, the purpose of this committee report was to consider recruitment issues in terms of the medical workforce. Inevitably, there is a significant focus on medical education, but also comments today, and in the report, about other healthcare professionals as well. I want to start by coming back to the statement that I made on 18 July about medical education and training in north Wales. I recognise that the committee did not come out with an explicit recommendation for a new medical school in Bangor, but certainly they were clear that they want to see more medical education and training take place in north Wales, and the recommendation about a centre in Bangor. In my statement, let's remind ourselves, I recognised the need for increased medical education to take place in north Wales. That is still my view. That is not a fig leaf; that is not something to get through a debate; that is where this Government is. I now confirm my view that a collaborative approach, looking at Cardiff, Swansea and Bangor universities working more closely together, can deliver the increase that we wish to see in medical education and training taking place in north Wales. It's also worth me saying that all of those parties have confirmed their willingness to make real progress with that work. Those discussions are ongoing, and the detailed arrangements that will need to be put in place, and the challenges that we face, and again -
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Hoffwn ddiolch i'r Aelodau, nid aelodau'r pwyllgor yn unig am eu hadroddiad, ond i'r Aelodau am y ddadl heddiw, a'r ystod o argymhellion y cawsom gyfle i'w trafod, a'u cyfraniad i'n helpu i sicrhau gweithlu cynaliadwy ar gyfer GIG Cymru. Rwy'n cydnabod, fel y mae'r pwyllgor yn ei wneud hefyd, fod heriau ar draws y DU gyda recriwtio a chadw meddygon mewn rhai meysydd arbenigol, ac yn arbennig y pwynt y soniodd Dai Lloyd amdano yn ei sylwadau agoriadol: y risg ychwanegol a grëwyd gan ansicrwydd Brexit a'n llwybr allan o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd yn y pen draw. Mae'n werth tynnu sylw eto at farn y Llywodraeth hon: rydym yn croesawu'r ffaith fod dinasyddion yr Undeb Ewropeaidd yma yng Nghymru fel meddygon a gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol eraill, ond yn fwy na hynny, fel aelodau o'r cymunedau y mae pob un ohonom wedi cael y fraint o'u cynrychioli ar hyd a lled ein gwlad. Ac unwaith eto, i ddilyn pwynt Julie Morgan, mae llawer o feddygon y dibynnwn arnynt i helpu i ddarparu ein gwasanaethau yn dod o rannau eraill o'r byd. Ac yn ôl at eich enghraifft dda iawn o weithlu meddygol gwirioneddol ymroddgar sydd am barhau i fod yn falch o'r llefydd y maent hwy a'u teuluoedd yn hanu ohonynt, ond sydd hefyd yn hynod o frwdfrydig ac yn falch o'n gwasanaeth iechyd gwladol, ac sy'n mynd allan i werthu Cymru i rannau eraill o'r byd yn hynod o effeithiol. Wrth gwrs, diben yr adroddiad pwyllgor hwn oedd ystyried materion recriwtio mewn perthynas â'r gweithlu meddygol. Yn anochel, ceir ffocws sylweddol ar addysg feddygol, ond gwnaed sylwadau heddiw hefyd, ac yn yr adroddiad, am weithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol eraill yn ogystal. Rwyf am ddechrau drwy ddod yn ôl at y datganiad a wneuthum ar 18 Gorffennaf am addysg a hyfforddiant meddygol yng ngogledd Cymru. Rwy'n cydnabod na wnaeth y pwyllgor argymhelliad penodol i gael ysgol feddygol newydd ym Mangor, ond roeddent yn sicr yn glir eu bod am weld mwy o addysg feddygol a hyfforddiant yn digwydd yng ngogledd Cymru, a'r argymhelliad ynglŷn â chanolfan ym Mangor. Yn fy natganiad, gadewch i ni atgoffa ein hunain, roeddwn yn cydnabod yr angen i fwy o addysg feddygol ddigwydd yng ngogledd Cymru. Dyna yw fy marn o hyd. Nid deilen ffigys mohoni; nid ei ddweud er mwyn y ddadl yw hynny; dyna safbwynt y Llywodraeth. Rwy'n cadarnhau fy marn yn awr fod dull cydweithredol, gan edrych ar brifysgolion Caerdydd, Abertawe a Bangor yn gweithio'n agosach gyda'i gilydd, yn gallu cyflawni'r cynnydd y dymunwn ei weld gydag addysg a hyfforddiant meddygol yn digwydd yng ngogledd Cymru. Mae'n werth dweud hefyd fod yr holl bartïon hynny wedi cadarnhau eu parodrwydd i wneud cynnydd gwirioneddol gyda'r gwaith hwnnw. Mae'r trafodaethau hynny'n parhau, a'r trefniadau manwl y bydd angen eu rhoi ar waith, a'r heriau sy'n ein hwynebu, ac unwaith eto-
