English: Thank you for that series of slightly different questions, and I'll try to answer them in the different parts in which they were put. I want to start by saying that, of course, I understand the significant and continuing public interest and concern into the events reported around Tawel Fan, and it's been actually very difficult to meet the understandable demand for the process to be concluded as quickly as possible, which is entirely understandable, from the families affected and the wider concerned community within north Wales and beyond, but having a process that is properly robust, because part of my concern has always been, despite my personal desire to see this concluded quickly, that, if you don't have a properly robust process, you potentially open up not just the health service, but individual families, to a wholly unsatisfactory position where the process itself collapses and you don't actually deliver the sort of justice that I understand people want to see. And I do appreciate the fact that you indicated that the most important thing is to get to the truth, and, indeed, thousands of different documents have been reviewed, and, because of the rigour undertaken, there have been further fields and avenues of investigation undertaken that go beyond the number of people identified in the Ockenden report. And that's important for you to understand, I think - there is real rigour that's been undertaken in what is now a review with real, genuine independent oversight. So, the health board don't control and have oversight of the HASCAS review, so there should be no misunderstanding that the health board are somehow going to re-interpret or alter the findings of this genuinely independent review. I've not had sight of the letters that I understand have been reported, but, in terms of the challenge around harm caused and understanding what comes after that, there'll be a number of different processes to go through, in which the Government won't have a role to undertake. For example, the professional issues - that will be for the professional bodies to undertake. We expect them to do their job. I am concerned though about the length of time it takes for fitness-to-practice proceedings to be undertaken - that's not a party political issue; it's an issue of genuine concern across the Chamber - regardless of which professional body people are answerable to and responsible for. On the point of prosecutions, I think it's really important that Government politicians don't get into the business where we are saying that we expect or require the police and the Crown Prosecution Service to prosecute. There is such a level of public interest that I expect the police to be properly aware that when the investigation reports they will need to review it and they will need to respond and indicate. And, at the time the report is available, I see no reason for me not to ask the police to confirm their position, but I think going beyond that would not be appropriate for me to do. Those are independent decisions to be made by both the police and the Crown Prosecution Service about matters that they think they could, should, and have a duty to investigate and then conclusions they actually reach. But I'm happy at the end of this process to ask the police for their view on whether they expect to take any further action. On the broader cultural issues that you identify, I think this is an area where people should look again at the process of special measures with the oversight provided by regulators. This isn't a Government politician deciding, 'This is what I want the conclusion to be'. And I've always, as I know that Mark Drakeford has before me, tried to be really clear that this won't be undertaken for the convenience of a Government politician in this particular role. It must be about independent advice from regulators about progress that has and has not been made through special measures, and about whether the organisation comes up, whether sufficient progress has been made in each of the areas. And mental health services are, I think, the most significant area of concern that caused the health board to be put into special measures. The new director has made a real difference, I think, but there is an understanding that there is a real and significant challenge in reconfiguring and improving that service. What should give me and other Members confidence is not just the process undertaken with independent regulators, but they recognise that real progress has been made to date. But it is about the further progress that is still needed. And I would not pretend to you or any concerned citizen that everything is perfect and that progress is smooth and easy. But we will have a properly transparent review from those regulators when they undertake their regular review of special measures, and, again, I will receive that and that will be publicly available, as have previous reports.
Welsh: Diolch am y gyfres honno o gwestiynau ychydig yn wahanol, a byddaf yn ceisio eu hateb yn ôl y gwahanol rannau y cawsant eu cyflwyno. Rwyf am ddechrau drwy ddweud fy mod, wrth gwrs, yn deall y diddordeb mawr a'r pryder cyhoeddus parhaus ynglŷn â'r digwyddiadau sy'n ymwneud â ward Tawel Fan, ac mae wedi bod yn anodd iawn ateb y galw dealladwy am gwblhau'r broses honno cyn gynted ag y bo modd, sy'n gwbl ddealladwy, gan y teuluoedd yr effeithiwyd arnynt a'r gymuned ehangach yng ngogledd Cymru a thu hwnt, a chael proses sy'n ddigon cadarn, gan mai'r hyn y bûm yn rhannol bryderus yn ei gylch o'r cychwyn, er gwaethaf fy awydd personol i weld hyn yn dod i ben yn gyflym, os nad oes gennych broses ddigon cadarn, eich bod o bosibl yn gwneud nid yn unig y gwasanaeth iechyd, ond y teuluoedd unigol, yn agored i sefyllfa hollol anfoddhaol lle y mae'r broses ei hun yn methu a lle nad ydych yn darparu'r math o gyfiawnder rwy'n ymwybodol fod pobl yn awyddus i'w weld. Ac rwy'n derbyn y ffaith a grybwyllwyd gennych mai'r peth pwysicaf yw canfod y gwir, ac yn wir, mae miloedd o ddogfennau gwahanol wedi cael eu hadolygu, ac oherwydd trylwyredd y gwaith a wnaed, cynhaliwyd ymchwiliadau pellach i feysydd a llwybrau y tu hwnt i nifer y bobl a nodwyd yn adroddiad Ockenden. A chredaf ei bod yn bwysig eich bod yn deall - cafwyd cryn drylwyredd yn yr hyn sydd bellach yn adolygiad gydag arolygiaeth annibynnol wirioneddol ddilys. Felly, nid yw'r bwrdd iechyd yn rheoli neu'n goruchwylio adolygiad y Gwasanaeth Cynghori ar Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol, felly ni ddylid camddeall bod y bwrdd iechyd, rywsut, yn mynd i ailddehongli neu newid canfyddiadau'r adolygiad gwirioneddol annibynnol hwn. Nid wyf wedi gweld y llythyrau a gofnodwyd yn ôl yr hyn a ddeallaf, ond o ran yr her mewn perthynas â'r niwed a achoswyd a deall yr hyn a ddaw ar ôl hynny, bydd angen cwblhau sawl proses wahanol, ac ni fydd gan y Llywodraeth ran i'w chwarae ynddynt. Er enghraifft, y materion proffesiynol - cyfrifoldeb y cyrff proffesiynol fydd ymgymryd â hynny. Rydym yn disgwyl iddynt wneud eu gwaith. Rwy'n bryderus, fodd bynnag, ynglŷn â faint o amser y mae'n ei gymryd i gynnal achosion addasrwydd i ymarfer - nid mater gwleidyddol mo hwn; ond mater o bwys gwirioneddol ar draws y Siambr - ni waeth pa gorff proffesiynol y mae pobl yn atebol iddo ac yn gyfrifol amdano. O ran erlyniadau, credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn nad yw gwleidyddion Llywodraeth yn dechrau dweud ein bod yn disgwyl neu'n mynnu bod yr heddlu a Gwasanaeth Erlyn y Goron yn erlyn. Oherwydd lefel y diddordeb cyhoeddus yn hyn, rwy'n disgwyl i'r heddlu fod yn hollol ymwybodol y bydd angen iddynt adolygu'r ymchwiliad pan fydd yn adrodd yn ôl, ac y bydd angen iddynt ymateb a chyfeirio. A phan fydd yr adroddiad ar gael, ni welaf unrhyw reswm i mi beidio â gofyn i'r heddlu gadarnhau eu safbwynt, ond ni chredaf y byddai'n briodol i mi fynd ymhellach na hynny. Mae'r rheini'n benderfyniadau annibynnol ar gyfer yr heddlu a Gwasanaeth Erlyn y Goron ynglŷn â materion y credant y gallent, y dylent, ac y mae ganddynt ddyletswydd i'w hymchwilio a dod i gasgliadau yn eu cylch. Ond ar ddiwedd y broses hon, byddaf yn fwy na pharod i ofyn i'r heddlu a ydynt yn disgwyl y byddant yn rhoi unrhyw gamau pellach ar waith. O ran y materion diwylliannol ehangach a nodwyd gennych, credaf fod hwn yn faes lle y dylai pobl edrych eto ar broses mesurau arbennig gyda rheoleiddwyr yn darparu'r arolygiaeth. Nid yw hyn yn ymwneud â gwleidydd Llywodraeth yn penderfynu, 'Dyma rwy'n dymuno i'r casgliad fod'. Ac rwyf innau bob amser, fel Mark Drakeford o'm blaen, wedi ceisio bod yn glir iawn na fydd hyn yn digwydd er hwylustod gwleidydd Llywodraeth yn y rôl benodol hon. Dylai ymwneud â chyngor annibynnol gan reoleiddwyr ynglŷn â chynnydd a wnaed ac na wnaed drwy fesurau arbennig, ac ynglŷn ag a yw'r sefydliad yn cyrraedd y safon, ac a wnaed digon o gynnydd ym mhob un o'r meysydd. A chredaf mai gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl yw'r maes pryder mwyaf arwyddocaol a arweiniodd at wneud y bwrdd iechyd yn destun mesurau arbennig. Credaf fod y cyfarwyddwr newydd wedi gwneud cryn wahaniaeth, ond ceir dealltwriaeth fod her wirioneddol a sylweddol i'w hwynebu o ran ailgyflunio a gwella'r gwasanaeth hwnnw. Yr hyn a ddylai roi hyder i mi a'r Aelodau eraill yw nid yn unig y broses a ddilynwyd gyda rheoleiddwyr annibynnol, ond y ffaith eu bod yn cydnabod bod cynnydd gwirioneddol wedi'i wneud hyd yn hyn. Ond mae hyn yn ymwneud â'r cynnydd pellach sydd ei angen o hyd. Ac ni fyddwn yn esgus wrthych chi neu unrhyw ddinesydd arall sy'n pryderu ynglŷn â hyn fod y cynnydd yn esmwyth a rhwydd. Ond fe gawn adolygiad tryloyw priodol gan y rheoleiddwyr pan fyddant yn cynnal eu hadolygiad rheolaidd o'r mesurau arbennig, ac unwaith eto, byddaf yn ei gael a bydd ar gael i'r cyhoedd, fel yr adroddiadau blaenorol.
