English: Yes, I'm happy to confirm that a range of active discussions have taken place with stakeholders in north Wales, including with local government, Bangor University, Glyndŵr University and Cardiff University, who all take part in the current north Wales clinical school. We need to receive a business case setting out the evidence for a potential medical school. I expect to receive a briefing on the updated work that is ongoing. The important point here is doing the right thing to ensure we actually provide greater opportunity for training to take place within Wales, for recruitment and retention to take place in Wales, and how we give people different opportunities and enhanced opportunities to undertake their medical training within north Wales and across the country more broadly. The North Wales Clinical School has helped to do some of that. It means there are more fourth and fifth year placements taking place within north Wales, and that's practically led to more juniors choosing to come to Wales after a placement within north Wales. We need to understand what's been successful about that and what more we could do. That fits into our shared expectation and desire to have a healthcare system that has the right quality of training, retains and recruits the right staff that have the sort of healthcare skills that we want, and really recognises and reflects on those, not just Welsh-domiciled students who may not want to train within Wales and may go to other parts of the United Kingdom for their medical training, but how we attract them back as well as attracting them from other parts of the UK and more broadly afield to come into Wales for their medical training. So, I'm genuinely open-minded about the potential case for a medical school in north Wales. I simply need the evidence about what is the right choice to make to meet those ambitions to deliver the sort of healthcare that we need.
Welsh: Ydw, rwy'n falch o gadarnhau bod ystod o drafodaethau gweithredol wedi cael eu cynnal gyda rhanddeiliaid yng ngogledd Cymru, gan gynnwys gyda llywodraeth leol, Prifysgol Bangor, Prifysgol Glyndŵr a Phrifysgol Caerdydd, sydd oll yn cymryd rhan yn ysgol glinigol gogledd Cymru ar hyn o bryd. Mae angen i ni gael achos busnes yn nodi'r dystiolaeth dros ysgol feddygol bosibl. Rwy'n disgwyl cael sesiwn friffio ar y diweddariad i'r gwaith sy'n parhau. Y pwynt pwysig yma yw gwneud y peth iawn i sicrhau ein bod mewn gwirionedd yn rhoi mwy o gyfle i hyfforddiant ddigwydd yng Nghymru, i recriwtio a chadw staff ddigwydd yng Nghymru, a sut rydym yn rhoi gwahanol gyfleoedd a gwell cyfleoedd i bobl gyflawni eu hyfforddiant meddygol yng ngogledd Cymru ac ar draws y wlad yn ehangach. Mae Ysgol Glinigol Gogledd Cymru wedi helpu i wneud rhywfaint o hynny. Mae'n golygu bod mwy o leoliadau'r bedwaredd a'r bumed flwyddyn yn digwydd yng ngogledd Cymru, ac mae hynny wedi arwain yn ymarferol at fwy o feddygon iau yn dewis dod i Gymru ar ôl bod ar leoliad yng ngogledd Cymru. Mae angen i ni ddeall beth sydd wedi bod yn llwyddiannus am hynny a beth arall y gallem ei wneud. Mae hynny'n cyd-fynd â'n disgwyliad a'n hawydd cyffredin i gael system gofal iechyd sydd â hyfforddiant o'r ansawdd cywir, sy'n cadw ac yn recriwtio'r staff cywir sydd â'r math o sgiliau gofal iechyd rydym eu heisiau, ac sy'n cydnabod o ddifrif ac yn myfyrio ar y rheini, nid myfyrwyr o Gymru'n unig na fyddant o bosibl eisiau hyfforddi yng Nghymru ac a fydd yn mynd i rannau eraill o'r Deyrnas Unedig i gael eu hyfforddiant meddygol o bosibl, ond sut rydym yn eu denu'n ôl, yn ogystal â'u denu o rannau eraill o'r DU ac ymhellach i ddod i Gymru i gael eu hyfforddiant meddygol. Felly, mae gennyf feddwl hollol agored am yr achos posibl dros ysgol feddygol yng ngogledd Cymru. Yn syml, rwyf angen y dystiolaeth ynglŷn â'r dewis iawn i'w wneud er mwyn cyflawni'r amcanion hynny i ddarparu'r math o ofal iechyd sydd ei angen arnom.
