English: I call for a debate in Welsh Government time on the Holden report. Ahead of last Thursday's publication of this report, exposing serious and extensive problems with patient safety on the Hergest mental health unit in Bangor, a health expert involved in the appeal sent me his observations on the report and its appendix, stating, up until now, the health board was protesting that the main text of the Holden report and its appendix, completed in December 2013 and containing extracts from the damning statements of 40 whistleblowers, must remain hidden from public view in order to safeguard the confidentiality of the whistleblowers. The decision to withhold evidence of neglect on such spurious grounds was deliberate and wilful. He further states that the whistleblowers complained about the behaviour of three senior managers, including acts of bullying and conduct that put the care of patients at serious risk. He asks how then was it possible that in 2014 the most senior of these managers was allowed to make reports to the health board and its quality committee that concealed his own part in the Holden process. Has the health board now satisfied itself that the senior officials responsible for this mess, and for keeping it under wraps for so long, have now all been removed from any responsibility for the care of vulnerable mental health patients? Responding to September's short debate on the Holden report, the health Minister said it was important to note that a summary report was published in 2015, including the Holden recommendations. It's therefore important to note that, when the health board's acting chief executive presented the summary report to the Senedd's Public Accounts Committee in November 2015, it was very brief and did not describe the 31 concerns listed by staff. And last week, a Public Services Ombudsman for Wales report also revealed that the health board had made a fulsome apology to the son of a lady who received treatment on the Hergest ward - people's hero, David Graves - for the failings identified and injustice caused to him and his family - the hell that poor man's been put through by public bodies in Wales. I call for a debate in Welsh Government time accordingly.
Welsh: Rwy'n galw am ddadl yn amser Llywodraeth Cymru ar adroddiad Holden. Cyn cyhoeddi'r adroddiad hwn ddydd Iau diwethaf, a oedd yn datgelu problemau difrifol a helaeth o ran diogelwch cleifion ar uned iechyd meddwl Hergest ym Mangor, anfonodd arbenigwr iechyd a oedd yn rhan o'r apêl ei sylwadau ataf i ar yr adroddiad a'i atodiad, gan ddweud, hyd yma, fod y bwrdd iechyd yn protestio bod yn rhaid i brif destun adroddiad Holden a'i atodiad, a gafodd eu cwblhau ym mis Rhagfyr 2013 ac sy'n cynnwys darnau o'r datganiadau damniol gan 40 o chwythwyr chwiban, barhau i fod wedi'u cuddio o olwg y cyhoedd er mwyn diogelu cyfrinachedd y chwythwyr chwiban. Roedd y penderfyniad i atal tystiolaeth o esgeulustod ar sail mor annilys yn fwriadol ac yn haerllyd. Mae e'n dweud hefyd fod y chwythwyr chwiban yn cwyno ynghylch ymddygiad tri uwch reolwr, gan gynnwys bwlio ac ymddygiad sy'n rhoi gofal cleifion mewn perygl difrifol. Mae'n gofyn sut felly yr oedd yn bosibl bod y rheolwyr mwyaf blaenllaw yn 2014 wedi cael cyflwyno adroddiadau i'r bwrdd iechyd a'i bwyllgor ansawdd a oedd yn cuddio ei ran ef ei hun ym mhroses Holden. A yw'r bwrdd iechyd nawr wedi bodloni ei hun bod yr uwch swyddogion sy'n gyfrifol am y llanastr hwn, ac am ei gadw'n dawel cyhyd, nawr i gyd wedi'u symud oddi wrth unrhyw gyfrifoldeb am ofalu am gleifion iechyd meddwl sy'n agored i niwed? Wrth ymateb i ddadl fer mis Medi ar adroddiad Holden, dywedodd y Gweinidog iechyd ei bod yn bwysig nodi bod adroddiad cryno wedi'i gyhoeddi yn 2015, gan gynnwys argymhellion Holden. Felly, mae'n bwysig nodi, pan gyflwynodd prif weithredwr dros dro'r bwrdd iechyd yr adroddiad cryno i Bwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus y Senedd ym mis Tachwedd 2015, ei fod yn fyr iawn ac nad oedd yn disgrifio'r 31 o bryderon a oedd wedi'u rhestru gan staff. A'r wythnos diwethaf, datgelodd adroddiad gan Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru hefyd fod y bwrdd iechyd wedi ymddiheuro'n llawn i fab dynes a gafodd driniaeth ar ward Hergest - arwr y bobl, David Graves - am y methiannau a gafodd eu nodi a'r anghyfiawnder a gafodd ei achosi iddo ef a'i deulu - yr uffern y mae'r dyn hwnnw druan wedi'i ddioddef oherwydd cyrff cyhoeddus yng Nghymru. Rwy'n galw am ddadl yn amser Llywodraeth Cymru yn unol â hynny.
