English: Welcome back, everyone, to this latest session of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee here at the Senedd. We've reached item 4 on the agenda and a continuation of our scrutiny of the National Health Service (Indemnities) (Wales) Bill. This is an evidence session with the medical defence organisations. And as Members will know, this is the second evidence session on the Bill and the final one, of course, because time is short. The Government is putting us under some pressure as a committee to scrutinise within a few days. Before we begin, there is a requirement on me personally to declare a personal interest, because I am still a GP and I have paid medical indemnity in the past. And although I have no direct interest in the specific item under consideration, I am still a member of the Medical and Dental Defence Union of Scotland, but because the indemnity is now resolved on the practice level and not on a personal level, there is no direct benefit for me. It is an indirect benefit, rather. But it is important to put that on the record. Therefore, I am very pleased to welcome to the table Dr Matthew Lee, professional services director of the Medical Defence Union; Mary-Lou Nesbitt, head of governmental and external relations, MDU; Emma Parfitt, director of advisory and legal services, Medical and Dental Defence Union of Scotland; and David Sturgeon, the director of development, Medical and Dental Defence Union of Scotland. Welcome to all four of you. Thank you very much for your written evidence, which has been submitted beforehand. And, as is our custom, we have about an hour now, and there are plenty of things to discuss and we have plenty of questions to ask. So, I ask for brief questions and answers. To begin with, David Rees.
Welsh: Croeso nôl i bawb i'r sesiwn ddiweddaraf o'r Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon yma yn y Senedd. Rydym ni wedi cyrraedd eitem 4 ar yr agenda erbyn rŵan a pharhad o'n craffu ar Fil y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol (Indemniadau) (Cymru). Dyma sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r sefydliadau amddiffyn meddygol. Ac fel y bydd Aelodau'n gwybod, dyma'r ail sesiwn dystiolaeth ar y Bil, a'r olaf, wrth gwrs, achos bod amser yn brin. Mae'r Llywodraeth yn ein rhoi ni o dan gryn bwysau fel pwyllgor i graffu o fewn rhai dyddiau. Cyn inni ddechrau, mae yna ofyniad arnaf i yn bersonol i ddatgan buddiant personol, achos dwi'n dal i fod yn feddyg teulu ac wedi talu indemniad meddygol yn y gorffennol. Ac er nad oes budd uniongyrchol gen i yn y mater penodol o dan sylw, dwi'n parhau i fod yn aelod o Undeb Amddiffyn Meddygol a Deintyddol yr Alban ond, wrth gwrs, gan fod yr indemniad hwn ar hyn o bryd yn cael ei ddatrys ar lefel y practis bellach ac nid ar lefel bersonol, does yna ddim buddiant uniongyrchol i fi. Buddiant anuniongyrchol yw e. Mae'n bwysig i roi hwnna ar y record. Felly, dwi'n falch iawn i groesawu i'r bwrdd Dr Matthew Lee, cyfarwyddwr gwasanaethau proffesiynol, yr Undeb Amddiffyn Meddygol; Mary-Lou Nesbitt, pennaeth cysylltiadau llywodraethol ac allanol, yr Undeb Amddiffyn Meddygol; Emma Parfitt, cyfarwyddwr gwasanaethau cynghori a chyfreithiol, Undeb Amddiffyn Meddygol a Deintyddol yr Alban; a David Sturgeon, cyfarwyddwr datblygu, Undeb Amddiffyn Meddygol a Deintyddol yr Alban. Croeso i'r pedwar ohonoch chi. Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi am eich tystiolaeth ysgrifenedig rydyn ni wedi ei derbyn ymlaen llaw. Yn ôl ein harfer, mae gennym ni ryw awr fach. Mae digon o bethau i fynd ar eu holau nhw, ac mae yna resi o gwestiynau. Felly, cwestiynau cryno ac, efallai, atebion cryno. Cawn ni weld. I ddechrau, David Rees.
