English: Llywydd, last time I was speaking on a matter such as this, it was to keep the accident and emergency department open at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. That campaign was successful. Today, I am actually speaking in support of the opening of a vitally required hospital. But can I start by expressing my support for the wonderful work that Velindre has carried out, looking after so many of my constituents over the years, and for the kindness and professionalism of the staff? And I understand there can be strong feelings on issues around location and model, but I'm speaking today solely to speak up on behalf of my constituents in the Pontypridd and Taff Ely area, but I do know these are reflected heavily across Rhondda Cynon Taf. I've had many representations from constituents who are patients, family members, staff and clinicians at Velindre. Every one of them has called upon me to urge support - and some of it quite emotional, as we've heard from Huw Irranca - for the new Velindre hospital and for it to go ahead as soon as possible, for an end to the interminable delay. This isn't just a project for Cardiff, but for the whole of south Wales, and it is vitally important to the well-being of my constituents. Their message to me is clear, so I put it to this Parliament on their behalf. They tell me that delays have gone on long enough. They tell me they cannot wait for the new facility to go ahead. Llywydd, they tell me that the time for delay is over. My constituents want us to go ahead with this new hospital, for us to have the twenty-first century cancer facilities that we need and deserve, and for many of them, it is a matter of life and death. And we should seize the opportunity to go ahead now. I believe that I speak out for the overwhelming majority of my constituents. Diolch, Llywydd.
Welsh: Lywydd, y tro diwethaf imi siarad ar fater fel hwn oedd i gadw'r adran damweiniau ac achosion brys ar agor yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg. Roedd yr ymgyrch honno'n llwyddiannus. Heddiw, rwy'n siarad o blaid cefnogi agor ysbyty sydd ei angen yn ddybryd. Ond a gaf fi ddechrau drwy fynegi fy nghefnogaeth i'r gwaith gwych y mae Felindre wedi'i wneud yn gofalu am gynifer o fy etholwyr dros y blynyddoedd, ac am garedigrwydd a phroffesiynoldeb y staff? Ac rwy'n deall y gall fod teimladau cryf ar faterion yn ymwneud â lleoliad a model, ond rwy'n siarad heddiw'n unswydd ar ran fy etholwyr yn ardal Pontypridd a Thaf Elái, ac rwy'n gwybod bod y teimladau hyn yn cael eu hadlewyrchu'n helaeth ar draws Rhondda Cynon Taf. Rwyf wedi cael llawer o sylwadau gan etholwyr sy'n gleifion, yn aelodau teuluol, yn staff a chlinigwyr yn Felindre. Mae pob un ohonynt wedi galw arnaf i annog cefnogaeth - a rhywfaint ohono'n eithaf emosiynol, fel y clywsom gan Huw Irranca - i ysbyty newydd Felindre ac iddo fynd yn ei flaen cyn gynted â phosibl, a rhoi diwedd ar yr oedi diddiwedd. Nid prosiect i Gaerdydd yn unig yw hwn, ond i dde Cymru gyfan, ac mae'n hanfodol bwysig i les fy etholwyr. Mae eu neges i mi'n glir, felly fe'i rhoddaf i'r Senedd hon ar eu rhan. Maent yn dweud wrthyf fod yr oedi wedi mynd rhagddo'n ddigon hir. Maent yn dweud wrthyf na allant aros i'r cyfleuster newydd fynd yn ei flaen. Lywydd, maent yn dweud wrthyf fod yr amser ar gyfer oedi ar ben. Mae fy etholwyr am inni fwrw ymlaen â'r ysbyty newydd hwn, inni gael y cyfleusterau canser ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain rydym eu hangen ac yn eu haeddu, ac i lawer ohonynt, mae'n fater o fywyd a marwolaeth. A dylem fanteisio ar y cyfle i fwrw ymlaen yn awr. Credaf fy mod yn siarad am fwyafrif llethol fy etholwyr. Diolch, Lywydd.
