English: I'll quote from the publication itself: 'The following chart shows the number of deaths per 10,000 attendances for each major Emergency Department (A&E). It should be emphasised the figures reported are a crude mortality, and unlike deaths elsewhere in the hospital, no attempt is made to "standardise." As such there is no accommodation for factors such as age and severity of illness, factors known to impact on the risk of death.' We can either have a conversation where we lay into the health board and try and suggest that there is somehow a political responsibility for an unacceptable death rate, or we can try to understand what has actually taken place. I would much rather understand what is taking place and to learn from that. That's why these figures are published. That's why there is a review into every death within the hospital. And, again, I will not be bounced into a suggestion that the clinical leadership at Glan Clwyd cannot be trusted. There are challenges right across our health service, and I will not collapse into blaming our hard-working staff for a range of areas in which we know that improvement actually is already there, and these figures are part of it. And I would remind everyone in this Chamber that, when it comes to resourcing, the north Wales health board is the best-resourced health board in the country, per head. And actually our challenge is how we get greater value from every single £1 that we spend in the health service, including in north Wales. I do not see this as an issue of financial resourcing. If you're actually looking about the overall amount of money we have within health and social care then we're squarely into the field of austerity and its impact on public services.
Welsh: Rwyf am ddyfynnu o'r cyhoeddiad ei hun: Mae'r siart canlynol yn dangos nifer y marwolaethau am bob 10,000 ymweliad â phob adran ddamweiniau ac achosion brys. Dylid pwysleisio bod y ffigurau a gofnodir yn farwolaethau bras, ac yn wahanol i farwolaethau mewn mannau eraill yn yr ysbyty, ni wneir unrhyw ymgais i "safoni". O ganlyniad, ni roddir ystyriaeth i ffactorau fel oedran a difrifoldeb salwch, ffactorau y gwyddys y gallant effeithio ar y risg o farwolaeth. Gallwn naill ai gael sgwrs lle rydym yn ymosod ar y bwrdd iechyd ac yn ceisio awgrymu, rywsut, fod yna gyfrifoldeb gwleidyddol dros gyfradd farwolaeth annerbyniol, neu gallwn geisio deall beth sydd wedi digwydd mewn gwirionedd. Buasai'n llawer gwell gennyf ddeall beth sy'n digwydd a dysgu o hynny. Dyna pam y cyhoeddir y ffigurau hyn. Dyna pam y cynhelir adolygiad o bob marwolaeth yn yr ysbyty. Ac unwaith eto, nid wyf am gael fy ngwthio i awgrymu na ellir ymddiried yn yr arweinyddiaeth glinigol yn Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. Mae yna heriau ar draws ein gwasanaeth iechyd, ac ni fyddaf yn rhoi'r bai ar ein staff gweithgar am ystod o feysydd lle y gwyddom fod gwelliant i'w weld yno eisoes mewn gwirionedd, ac mae'r ffigurau hyn yn rhan o hynny. A buaswn yn atgoffa pawb yn y Siambr hon, mewn perthynas ag adnoddau, mai bwrdd iechyd gogledd Cymru yw'r bwrdd iechyd sydd â'r adnoddau gorau yn y wlad, fesul y pen. Ac mewn gwirionedd, ein her yw canfod sut y gallwn gael mwy o werth o bob £1 rydym yn ei wario ar y gwasanaeth iechyd, gan gynnwys yng ngogledd Cymru. Nid wyf yn ystyried hwn yn fater sy'n ymwneud ag adnoddau ariannol. Os ydych yn edrych ar gyfanswm yr arian sydd gennym ym maes iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol mewn gwirionedd, rydym yn bendant iawn mewn adeg o gyni a'i effaith ar wasanaethau cyhoeddus.
