English: Last week, I announced a £281 million investment package to support education and training programmes for healthcare professionals in Wales. For the ninth consecutive year, funding in Wales will increase, with an extra 8 per cent for 2023-24, and this will support the highest ever number of training opportunities in Wales. The NHS has more people working in it than at any time before in its history, focusing on prevention and care for members of society across every community in Wales. Now, I'm really pleased that there has been a discussion on the prevention approach, and I think actually we could do with a much broader debate on that. So, I'm not going to try and address that today, because I think it's so important. You heard some of the things yesterday that we're planning to do. I do think it's a complicated, it's a sensitive and it's a difficult debate, but we do have to have that debate. And, you know, headlines don't help things, actually. But we do need to make sure that there's an understanding, like John has said - actually, there are things that people can do that don't cost money. But we need that very sensitive, difficult conversation. [ Interruption.] Well, we've been having those conversations, and Lynne is responsible for 'Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales'. A massive amount of research has gone into that in terms of how we best approach this issue. We don't pluck these things out of the air; we work with professionals to know what will work best. Now, I have said that, by the end of this month, I will be launching the health and care workforce plan. I've got it, I'm just making a few little tweaks - I've made several tweaks, I can assure you, as it's gone along. This has been tested with many of the organisations that I know you've been speaking to as well, and one of the things within that will be about reducing the bill for agency workers. I think we've got to be realistic, we're not going to be able to switch it off overnight, because we'd have to switch off hospitals, and I'm certainly not prepared to do that. Now, we know that hospital discharge is having an impact on patient flow. Work is ongoing in a number of areas to strengthen and make improvements so that people are not remaining in hospital beds any longer than is necessary. Now, I, along with Julie Morgan, have been jointly chairing a care action group of senior NHS and local government leaders to drive progress, and we have secured, this winter, 595 additional community beds for step-down care. That's this winter. It has taken huge pressure off -
Welsh: Yr wythnos diwethaf, cyhoeddais becyn buddsoddi gwerth £281 miliwn i gefnogi rhaglenni addysg a hyfforddiant ar gyfer gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol yng Nghymru. Am y nawfed flwyddyn yn olynol, bydd y cyllid yng Nghymru'n cynyddu, gydag 8 y cant ychwanegol ar gyfer 2023-24, a bydd hyn yn cefnogi'r nifer uchaf erioed o gyfleoedd hyfforddi yng Nghymru. Mae gan y GIG fwy o bobl yn gweithio ynddo nag ar unrhyw adeg o'r blaen yn ei hanes, gan ganolbwyntio ar atal a gofal i aelodau o'r gymdeithas ar draws pob cymuned yng Nghymru. Nawr, rwy'n falch iawn fod trafodaeth wedi bod ar y dull ataliol, ac rwy'n credu y gallem wneud gyda thrafodaeth lawer ehangach ar hynny. Felly, nid wyf am geisio mynd i'r afael â hynny heddiw, oherwydd rwy'n credu ei fod mor bwysig. Ddoe, fe glywsoch chi rai o'r pethau y bwriadwn eu gwneud. Rwy'n meddwl ei fod yn gymhleth, mae'n sensitif ac mae'n ddadl anodd, ond mae'n rhaid inni gael y ddadl honno. Wyddoch chi, nid yw'r penawdau'n helpu pethau mewn gwirionedd. Ond mae angen inni wneud yn siŵr fod yna ddealltwriaeth, fel y dywedodd John - mewn gwirionedd, mae yna bethau y gall pobl eu gwneud nad ydynt yn costio arian. Ond mae angen y sgwrs sensitif ac anodd honno. [ Torri ar draws.] Wel, rydym wedi bod yn cael y sgyrsiau hynny, a Lynne sy'n gyfrifol am 'Pwysau Iach: Cymru Iach'. Mae llawer iawn o ymchwil wedi mynd i mewn i hynny a'r ffordd orau o fynd i'r afael â'r mater. Ni ddaw'r pethau hyn o ddim; rydym yn gweithio gyda gweithwyr proffesiynol i wybod beth fydd yn gweithio orau. Nawr, rwyf wedi dweud, erbyn diwedd y mis hwn, y byddaf yn lansio cynllun y gweithlu iechyd a gofal. Mae'n barod, rwy'n gwneud ambell i newid bach, dyna i gyd - rwyf wedi gwneud sawl newid bach, gallaf eich sicrhau, wrth iddo ddod yn ei flaen. Cafodd ei brofi gyda nifer o'r sefydliadau y gwn eich bod wedi bod yn siarad â hwy hefyd, ac un o'r pethau yn hwnnw fydd lleihau'r bil am weithwyr asiantaeth. Rwy'n meddwl bod yn rhaid inni fod yn realistig, nid ydym yn mynd i allu rhoi'r gorau i'w defnyddio dros nos, oherwydd byddai'n rhaid inni roi'r gorau i ddefnyddio ysbytai, ac yn sicr, nid wyf yn barod i wneud hynny. Nawr, rydym yn gwybod bod rhyddhau cleifion o ysbytai'n cael effaith ar lif cleifion. Mae gwaith yn parhau mewn nifer o feysydd i gryfhau a gwneud gwelliannau fel nad yw pobl yn aros mewn gwelyau ysbyty yn hwy nag y bo angen. Nawr, rwyf i, ynghyd â Julie Morgan, wedi bod yn cadeirio grŵp gweithredu gofal ar y cyd o uwch-arweinwyr y GIG a llywodraeth leol i ysgogi cynnydd, ac rydym wedi sicrhau, y gaeaf hwn, 595 o welyau cymunedol ychwanegol ar gyfer gofal cam-i-lawr. Y gaeaf hwn yw hynny. Mae wedi tynnu pwysau enfawr oddi ar -
