English: Across the Chamber, I think it's fair to say, we are in awe of the Welsh ambulance service. It is an absolute life-saver, and I am very clear that I'll be supporting this motion this evening. Both the Welshpool and Caernarfon air ambulance bases provide mid and north Wales respectively with a lifeline in the form of emergency medical support and transit. Rural healthcare is challenging, we know. But we need more rural healthcare, not less, and what this proposal, as we understand it at the moment, is saying is that we will have less coverage across rural areas, particularly for Mid and West Wales, which I represent. It's my strong view that the Welsh air ambulance and the Welsh NHS have not been able to demonstrate by independent evidence that more lives will be saved, in particular in those areas where the bases currently reside, and therefore it is really clear we must oppose the potential and proposed closures. It's hard, really, to describe - unless you live, in my case, in Mid and West Wales - the absolute public outcry about the proposal. There is real, genuine fear that people will lose lives. We need to be clear that that is not going to be the case. There is not a shop, there is not a cafe around where I live, and where many of us live in Mid and West Wales - and perhaps the same in north Wales as well - where there isn't a poster saying 'Save the Welsh Air Ambulance'. Many people, as you've heard, are not just thinking it's about their lives, their relatives' lives, their neighbours' lives - it is about the fact that they've invested their heart and soul in fundraising for this absolutely important service. It's worth noting that, since these proposals were leaked to the press, the air ambulance and Welsh NHS have been so far unwilling to provide the data. Communication is key to this, and, let's be honest, it's been a mess up to today. Russell George has helpfully tried to navigate us through the changes, and the mixture in who's responsible for what. We maybe have got our heads around it, but the people who are investing their lives and the pennies and the pounds that they put into it will not have done. At the moment, I can see no option but to maintain the service as it is and commit to the bases remaining where they are until there is absolute clear, independent scrutiny of the figures and there is a much better communications plan of the data, and an openness to listen to the people that this will affect. Thank you. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Ar draws y Siambr, rwy'n meddwl ei bod hi'n deg dweud ein bod yn parchu gwasanaeth ambiwlans Cymru. Mae'n achub bywydau, ac rwy'n glir iawn y byddaf yn cefnogi'r cynnig hwn heno. Mae canolfannau ambiwlans awyr y Trallwng a Chaernarfon yn darparu rhaff achub yng nghanolbarth a gogledd Cymru ar ffurf cymorth meddygol a chludiant brys. Fe wyddom fod gofal iechyd gwledig yn heriol. Ond mae angen mwy o ofal iechyd gwledig, nid llai, ac mae'r cynnig hwn fel y'i deallwn ar hyn o bryd yn dweud y bydd gennym lai o wasanaeth ar draws ardaloedd gwledig, yn enwedig ar gyfer Canolbarth a Gorllewin Cymru, yr ardal rwy'n ei chynrychioli. Fy marn gref i yw nad yw ambiwlans awyr Cymru a GIG Cymru wedi gallu dangos drwy dystiolaeth annibynnol y bydd mwy o fywydau'n cael eu hachub, yn enwedig yn yr ardaloedd lle mae'r canolfannau ar hyn o bryd, ac felly mae'n wirioneddol glir fod yn rhaid inni wrthwynebu'r cynnig posibl i gau. Mae'n anodd disgrifio, mewn gwirionedd - oni bai eich bod chi'n byw, yn fy achos i, yng Nghanolbarth a Gorllewin Cymru - y gwrthwynebiad cyhoeddus cryf i'r cynnig. Mae yna ofn gwirioneddol y bydd pobl yn colli eu bywydau. Mae angen inni fod yn glir nad yw hynny'n mynd i ddigwydd. Nid oes siop, nid oes caffi lle rwy'n byw, a lle mae llawer ohonom yn byw yng Nghanolbarth a Gorllewin Cymru - a'r un fath yn y gogledd hefyd efallai - lle nad oes poster yn dweud 'Achubwch Ambiwlans Awyr Cymru'. Mae llawer o bobl, fel rydych wedi clywed, yn meddwl ei fod yn ymwneud â mwy na'u bywydau hwy, bywydau eu perthnasau, bywydau eu cymdogion - mae'n ymwneud â'r ffaith eu bod wedi buddsoddi eu calonnau a'u heneidiau'n codi arian ar gyfer y gwasanaeth hollbwysig hwn. Ers i'r cynigion hyn gael eu datgelu'n answyddogol i'r wasg, mae'n werth nodi bod yr ambiwlans awyr a GIG Cymru wedi bod yn anfodlon darparu'r data hyd yma. Mae cyfathrebu'n allweddol i hyn, a gadewch inni fod yn onest, mae wedi bod yn llanast hyd at heddiw. Mae Russell George wedi ceisio ein llywio drwy'r newidiadau, a'r cymysgwch o ran pwy sy'n gyfrifol am beth. Efallai ein bod ni wedi ei ddeall, ond ni fydd y bobl sy'n buddsoddi eu bywydau a'r ceiniogau a'r punnoedd y maent yn eu rhoi tuag ato wedi ei ddeall. Ar hyn o bryd, ni allaf weld unrhyw opsiwn ond cadw'r gwasanaeth fel y mae ac ymrwymo i gadw'r canolfannau lle maent hyd nes y ceir craffu clir, annibynnol ar y ffigurau a hyd nes y ceir cynllun cyfathrebu llawer gwell ar gyfer y data, a pharodrwydd i wrando ar y bobl y bydd hyn yn effeithio arnynt. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
