English: Thanks to my colleague Darren Millar for submitting this extremely important debate here today. As outlined by my colleague Mark Isherwood in opening today's debate, the findings of the Holden report are deeply concerning. In fact, they're absolutely shocking and make for very difficult reading for the residents that I represent in north Wales. As Mr Isherwood outlined, the long-awaited report, that was prevented from being published for years, revealed a culture of bullying and of low morale amongst staff in the Hergest ward, which is said to have been in serious trouble, according to the report. And relationships between staff and managers at matron level and above had broken to such an extent that patient care was undoubtedly affected. And it is devastating to hear that patients have come to harm and been neglected because of these issues. With these extreme failures, of course, are staff, patients and families who've had to endure these devastating events. As we all know - it has already been pointed out - Welsh Labour Government have had oversight of this failing health board, and leading this oversight for much of this time was the First Minister, Mr Drakeford, who was then health Minister. As the First Minister outlined to me in questions last week, and I quote, 'I agree that it is important to make sure that there is proper trust between people who use services and the provision of those services in north Wales'. And this Government, Deputy Presiding Officer, has a huge amount of work to do, as currently many of my residents across north Wales simply don't feel that trust when it comes to mental health services in my region. As our motion states, staff, patients and families affected first of all need a simple apology from the Welsh Government. I don't think that's a difficult thing to ask for. Aside from words, what my residents also want are radical improvements in the provision of mental health services across the region of North Wales, including the establishment of a 24-hour mental health walk-in centre, and meaningful information on the performance and quality of mental health services across Wales that they use being published. Yet, despite this, the board is still experiencing difficulties with mental health provision. The latest figures show that the health board in north Wales has some of the worst waiting times in Wales, and what have we seen the Labour Government here do? Taking this failing health board out of special measures just months before May's Senedd elections, which I'm sure some would say was simply a political decision. So, aside from some of the action or inaction we are experiencing from Government at the moment in this regard, we've seen today, in this motion we've put forward, Welsh Government's amendments to delete parts of our motion that point to the regret of the tragedies, and remove our proposals for practical and robust solutions to fix some of the issues that are in place, ensuring patients receive the best possible treatment and, as I said earlier, looking to, really importantly, regain their trust. I was really pleased to hear Plaid Cymru's contribution supporting our motion unamended. It's really important that we send the right message to all those who have suffered. So, to conclude, Deputy Presiding Officer, the Holden report and its findings are truly disturbing, a very sad state of affairs, and it's just another failure in two decades of poor decisions and management from the Labour-run health service in north Wales, and behind these failures are sadly people suffering unnecessarily. It's time for the Welsh Government to learn from their mistakes and put patients first. I urge all Members to support this important motion. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Diolch i fy nghyd-Aelod, Darren Millar, am gyflwyno'r ddadl hynod bwysig hon yma heddiw. Fel yr amlinellwyd gan fy nghyd-Aelod, Mark Isherwood, wrth agor y ddadl heddiw, mae canfyddiadau adroddiad Holden yn peri pryder mawr. Yn wir, maent yn gwbl frawychus ac yn anodd iawn i'r trigolion rwy'n eu cynrychioli yng ngogledd Cymru eu darllen. Fel yr amlinellodd Mr Isherwood, datgelodd yr adroddiad hirddisgwyliedig, a gafodd ei atal rhag cael ei gyhoeddi am flynyddoedd, ddiwylliant o fwlio a morâl isel ymhlith staff ar ward Hergest, ward y dywedir ei bod wedi bod mewn trafferthion difrifol yn ôl yr adroddiad. Ac roedd y berthynas rhwng staff a rheolwyr ar lefel matron ac uwch wedi chwalu i'r fath raddau fel bod gofal cleifion yn ddi-os yn cael ei effeithio. Ac mae'n ddinistriol clywed bod cleifion wedi cael niwed ac wedi cael eu hesgeuluso oherwydd y problemau hyn. Gyda'r methiannau eithafol hyn wrth gwrs, mae staff, cleifion a theuluoedd wedi gorfod dioddef yn sgil y digwyddiadau dinistriol hyn. Fel y gwyddom i gyd - mae eisoes wedi'i nodi - Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru sydd wedi bod â throsolwg dros y bwrdd iechyd hwn a'i fethiannau, a'r Prif Weinidog, Mr Drakeford a fu'n arwain y trosolwg hwn am ran helaeth o'r amser, pan oedd ar y pryd yn Weinidog iechyd. Fel yr amlinellodd y Prif Weinidog wrthyf mewn cwestiynau yr wythnos diwethaf, a dyfynnaf, 'rwy'n cytuno ei bod hi'n bwysig gwneud yn siŵr bod ymddiriedaeth briodol rhwng pobl sy'n defnyddio gwasanaethau a'r ddarpariaeth o'r gwasanaethau hynny yn y gogledd'. Ac mae gan y Llywodraeth hon lawer iawn o waith i'w wneud, Ddirprwy Lywydd, gan nad yw llawer o fy nhrigolion ledled gogledd Cymru ar hyn o bryd yn teimlo'r ymddiriedaeth honno yn y gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl yn fy rhanbarth. Fel y dywed ein cynnig, yn gyntaf oll mae angen i Lywodraeth Cymru ymddiheuro'n syml i staff, cleifion a theuluoedd yr effeithiwyd arnynt. Nid wyf yn meddwl bod hynny'n beth anodd i ofyn amdano. Ar wahân i eiriau, yr hyn y mae fy nhrigolion hefyd am ei weld yw gwelliannau radical yn y modd y darperir gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl ar draws rhanbarth Gogledd Cymru, gan gynnwys sefydlu canolfan iechyd meddwl galw i mewn 24 awr, a chyhoeddi gwybodaeth ystyrlon am berfformiad ac ansawdd gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl y maent yn eu defnyddio ledled Cymru. Ac eto, er gwaethaf hyn, mae'r bwrdd yn dal i gael anawsterau gyda'r ddarpariaeth iechyd meddwl. Mae'r ffigurau diweddaraf yn dangos mai gan y bwrdd iechyd yng ngogledd Cymru y mae rhai o'r amseroedd aros gwaethaf yng Nghymru, a beth y gwelwyd y Llywodraeth Lafur yma yn ei wneud? Byddai rhai'n galw tynnu'r bwrdd iechyd hwn sy'n methu allan o fesurau arbennig ychydig fisoedd cyn etholiadau'r Senedd ym mis Mai yn benderfyniad gwleidyddol, rwy'n siŵr. Felly, ar wahân i rai o'r camau gweithredu neu'r diffyg gweithredu a welsom gan y Llywodraeth yn y mater hwn yn awr, yn y cynnig a gyflwynwyd gennym heddiw, gwelsom welliannau Llywodraeth Cymru i ddileu rhannau o'n cynnig sy'n cyfeirio at resynu at y trychinebau, a dileu ein cynigion ar gyfer atebion ymarferol a chadarn i ddatrys rhai o'r problemau a brofir, i sicrhau bod cleifion yn cael y driniaeth orau bosibl a cheisio adennill eu hymddiriedaeth, sy'n bwysig iawn, fel y dywedais yn gynharach. Roeddwn yn falch iawn o glywed cyfraniad Plaid Cymru yn cefnogi ein cynnig heb ei ddiwygio. Mae'n bwysig iawn ein bod yn anfon y neges gywir at bawb sydd wedi dioddef. Felly, i gloi, Ddirprwy Lywydd, mae adroddiad Holden a'i ganfyddiadau yn peri gofid mawr, yn darlunio sefyllfa drist iawn, ac mae'n fethiant arall mewn dau ddegawd o benderfyniadau gwael a rheolaeth wael gan y gwasanaeth iechyd dan Lafur yng ngogledd Cymru, a'r tu ôl i'r methiannau hyn, yn anffodus, mae pobl yn dioddef yn ddiangen. Mae'n bryd i Lywodraeth Cymru ddysgu o'u camgymeriadau a rhoi cleifion yn gyntaf. Rwy'n annog yr holl Aelodau i gefnogi'r cynnig pwysig hwn. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
