English: Thank you, Minister, for your response. We know that, in the last half an hour, as you've said, six health boards across Wales out of the seven have responded to the result of the RCN strike ballot, and strikes will take place in those health board areas. I have to say, Minister, I'm disappointed by your response, trying to deflect away from your responsibility. This is a Labour-run NHS in Wales, this is your responsibility, and it's for you to solve this problem. And I'm disappointed by your answer this afternoon. We know that, in Wales, a fifth of the population are waiting on an NHS waiting list, 60,000 of those waiting for over two years, the longest ambulance red-calls responses on record, and the worst accident and emergency waiting times in Britain. So, the last thing that we need in Wales, and the people of Wales need, is for nurses to be striking. Now, I appreciate that solving this problem is difficult. I appreciate that - it is not easy. But it is your dispute to solve, Minister. It is the responsibility of this Labour Government here. I hope that every opportunity has been taken, every opportunity possible has been taken, to avoid getting to this point and stopping strike action. So, can I therefore ask you, Minister: can you tell me how many times you have met with the Royal College of Nursing to negotiate the proposed pay rise; what approach are you going to adopt to bring any strike action to a close; what effect do you believe that the strike action will have on those long waiting times for emergency and elective treatment, which I've just outlined; and, finally, what will the cost be, if any, in agency nurses to cover any striking action?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ymateb, Weinidog. Rydym yn gwybod, yn yr hanner awr ddiwethaf, fel rydych wedi dweud, fod chwe o'r saith bwrdd iechyd ledled Cymru wedi ymateb i ganlyniad pleidlais streic y Coleg Nyrsio Brenhinol, ac y bydd streiciau'n digwydd yn ardaloedd y byrddau iechyd hynny. Rhaid imi ddweud, Weinidog, mae eich ymateb yn fy siomi, wrth ichi geisio gwrthod eich cyfrifoldeb. GIG sy'n cael ei redeg gan Lafur yw hwn yng Nghymru, eich cyfrifoldeb chi ydyw, a phroblem i chi ei datrys yw hi. Ac mae eich ateb y prynhawn yma yn fy siomi. Yng Nghymru, gwyddom fod un rhan o bump o'r boblogaeth ar restr aros y GIG, gyda 60,000 o'r rheini yn aros ers dros ddwy flynedd, yr ymatebion hiraf i alwadau coch am ambiwlans a gofnodwyd erioed, a'r amseroedd aros gwaethaf ym Mhrydain mewn adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys. Felly, y peth olaf sydd ei angen arnom yng Nghymru, ac sydd ei angen ar bobl Cymru, yw i nyrsys fod ar streic. Nawr, rwy'n deall bod datrys y broblem hon yn anodd. Rwy'n deall hynny - nid yw'n hawdd. Ond eich anghydfod chi yw hwn i'w ddatrys, Weinidog. Mae'n gyfrifoldeb i'r Llywodraeth Lafur yma. Rwy'n gobeithio bod pob cyfle wedi'i gymryd, pob cyfle posibl wedi'i gymryd, i osgoi cyrraedd y pwynt hwn ac atal streicio. Felly, a gaf fi ofyn ichi, Weinidog: a wnewch chi ddweud wrthyf sawl gwaith rydych chi wedi cyfarfod â'r Coleg Nyrsio Brenhinol i negodi'r codiad cyflog arfaethedig; pa ddull y bwriadwch ei fabwysiadu i ddod ag unrhyw streic i ben; pa effaith y credwch y bydd y streic yn ei chael ar yr amseroedd aros hir hynny ar gyfer triniaeth frys a dewisol rwyf newydd eu nodi; ac yn olaf, beth fydd y gost, os o gwbl, o gael nyrsys asiantaeth i lenwi yn ystod unrhyw streic?
