English: I have two important health matters I'd like to raise with you this afternoon. Last month, I raised my concerns that the Government had yet to open its promised gender clinic. It was expected in April of this year, following the budget agreement between Plaid Cymru and the Labour Government, and I was pleased to see the long-overdue announcement yesterday that the Welsh gender service will start seeing patients in September. This will be a major step in ensuring that our trans citizens are given access to high-standard and potentially life-saving healthcare in Wales. However, concerns have already been raised with me about the viability of this service, with the possibility that the service will deploy psychiatrists untrained as gender clinicians to plug the resource gap. With only a week to go until recess, and no opportunity before September to scrutinise the health Minister on the new service, we need urgent assurances from that Minister that the clinic will open with adequate resources and properly trained clinicians that can provide its patients with the healthcare that they need. So, could the health Minister therefore please bring forward a written or an oral statement, or could he write to me outlining how the Government will ensure that these concerns are addressed? I also want to raise a sensitive issue that has been brought to my attention over the weekend, from a woman in the Rhondda who lost a baby at 13 weeks into her pregnancy following a car accident. To say that this was a deeply distressing experience for her and her family would be a gross understatement. This women approached me because she has had to fight, amidst all-encompassing grief, for the right to take ownership of her baby's remains so that she could organise a funeral. After a series of errors in terms of her care, she says that persistent pressure was applied on her at the hospital for them to take responsibility for the baby's remains. She also said that neither counselling nor bereavement support was offered to her during her initial stay in hospital. She wasn't even sent home from Prince Charles Hospital with any leaflets. She has been offered these services subsequently, though she will have to travel to the Beresford clinic in Newport to receive those services, and that isn't straightforward. I'd like this Government to outline what policy and guidance there is for hospital trusts to ensure that would-be parents like the woman who has approached me are treated with full compassion and dignity at times of such tragedy.
Welsh: Mae gennyf i ddau fater iechyd pwysig yr hoffwn i eu codi gyda chi y prynhawn yma. Y mis diwethaf, lleisiais fy mhryderon nad yw'r Llywodraeth eto wedi agor y clinig rhyw a addawyd ganddi. Roedd disgwyl y byddai hynny'n digwydd ym mis Ebrill eleni, yn dilyn y cytundeb cyllideb rhwng Plaid Cymru a'r Llywodraeth Lafur, ac roeddwn i'n falch o weld y cyhoeddiad hirddisgwyliedig ddoe y bydd gwasanaeth rhyw Cymru yn dechrau gweld cleifion ym mis Medi. Bydd hwn yn gam mawr i sicrhau bod ein dinasyddion trawsrywiol yn cael cynnig gofal iechyd o safon uchel a allai, o bosibl, achub bywydau yng Nghymru. Fodd bynnag, codwyd pryderon eisoes gyda mi ynglŷn â hyfywedd y gwasanaeth hwn, gyda'r posibilrwydd y bydd y gwasanaeth yn defnyddio seiciatryddion heb eu hyfforddi fel clinigwyr rhyw i lenwi'r bwlch adnoddau. Gyda dim ond wythnos i fynd tan y toriad, a dim cyfle cyn mis Medi i graffu ar y Gweinidog iechyd o ran y gwasanaeth newydd, mae angen sicrwydd arnom ar frys gan y Gweinidog hwnnw y bydd y clinig yn agor gydag adnoddau digonol a chlinigwyr wedi'u hyfforddi'n briodol a all ddarparu'r gofal iechyd y mae ei angen ar ei gleifion. Felly, a wnaiff y Gweinidog iechyd gyflwyno datganiad ysgrifenedig neu lafar, neu a wnaiff ysgrifennu ataf i yn amlinellu sut y bydd y Llywodraeth yn sicrhau bod y pryderon hyn yn cael sylw? Rwyf hefyd am godi mater sensitif sydd wedi cael ei ddwyn i'm sylw dros y penwythnos, gan fenyw yn y Rhondda a gollodd faban 13 wythnos i mewn i'w beichiogrwydd ar ôl damwain car. Byddai dweud bod hyn wedi bod yn brofiad trallodus iawn iddi hi a'i theulu yn dipyn o danddatganiad. Daeth y fenyw hon ataf i gan ei bod wedi gorfod ymladd, yng nghanol galar dwys, am yr hawl i gymryd perchnogaeth o weddillion ei baban fel y gallai drefnu'r angladd. Ar ôl cyfres o gamgymeriadau o ran ei gofal, dywed hi fod llawer o bwysau wedi'i roi arni yn yr ysbyty iddyn nhw gymryd cyfrifoldeb am weddillion y baban. Dywedodd hefyd na chynigiwyd gwasanaeth cwnsela na chymorth profedigaeth iddi yn ystod ei chyfnod cyntaf yn yr ysbyty. Ni chafodd unrhyw daflenni hyd yn oed pan adawodd ysbyty'r Tywysog Siarl am adref. Mae hi wedi cael cynnig y gwasanaethau hyn wedi hynny, er y bydd yn rhaid iddi deithio i glinig Beresford yng Nghasnewydd i gael y gwasanaethau hynny, ac nid yw hynny'n hawdd. Hoffwn i i'r Llywodraeth hon amlinellu pa bolisi ac arweiniad a geir ar gyfer ymddiriedolaethau ysbytai er mwyn sicrhau y bydd rhieni, fel y fenyw sydd wedi dod ataf i, yn cael eu trin â thosturi ac urddas llawn ar adegau o drychineb fel hyn.
