English: Thank you for the comments and the questions, and, in fact, obviously, I've met a number of Dawn Bowden's constituents at the family meetings, and a number of Dawn Bowden's constituents who work in the health service while meeting staff. The point about rebuilding trust that Dawn Bowden makes is one that I recognise. Among the constituency Members who regularly engage with the board and regional Members, I think that's a common feeling, and, equally, from the Government's point of view, there's been an issue, and that's part of the reason why the service is in special measures and the organisation is in targeted intervention. They need to rebuild that trust in the way that they behave, and that's why the panel report on progress is important, but it's setting out what the health board are actually doing to respond to the challenges they face, both reactively and proactively, on this improvement journey. The reporting of serious incidents is one marker of that. The fact they're now properly at Birthrate Plus levels is another marker of that, because, actually, concerns around Birthrate Plus were part of the markers of concern, when, having been assured through the chief nurse's office that they were Birthrate Plus compliant, it was plain that they weren't. That was one of the issues that staff complained about themselves, about persistent understaffing and not attempting to properly recruit to those vacancies. So, those are really important, because they need to be sustained to rebuild the trust that Dawn Bowden refers to. And on your points around the panel and whether they're properly resourced, 'Yes', I think is the straight answer to that. And if there's a requirement for more resource for them to do their job, then of course I'll want to make sure that they continue to have the resource to do what they require. A good example of what we've already done, though, is the fact that we've got this much bigger team of clinical reviewers. With the expansion in the scale of the reviews that need to take place, we've obviously had to make sure we have more reviewers; otherwise, we'd have had an unacceptably long period of time for all of those reviews to be carried out. It will take as long as it takes, but we have many more people engaging in the role now than we thought we might have had at the outset, when there were only 40-odd cases, apparently, to look at. There are now, as we know, around about 140. But that will be a matter for the panel to look at, as well as people who can self-refer into the process as well. On your point about families being at the heart of the clinical reviews and the support for them, one thing that's been helpful is the way that the panel has produced a chart to help people to go through the process, with the 12 steps in it. It's not written as a document for healthcare professionals; it's written for the wider public. And I think it's been very helpful for me to look at that and understand how it's going to work. Right at the outset, I talked about the opportunity for families to tell their story, and to be able to do that and then to be supported to do that as well. Because, as I said earlier, what has happened within each of those family groups doesn't just get switched off after a certain point in time. So, there's the ongoing support that people will need after the potential loss or harm caused to someone. And even if there's no physical harm that's been caused, then the way in which people are treated will be a cause when there's a need for support. And at the family events, we've had both the Teardrop group and the Sands group there to provide support as well, to make sure people are supported through the whole of this process, and for the health board to understand the ongoing care needs that exist. Again, that is all part of rebuilding trust and confidence. We've been helped in that, though, by the fact that a number of families who we know have suffered harm and loss have been prepared to give their time to help the health board to improve, and it's a really altruistic motive that we recognise in many people, that they don't want other people to go through what they've gone through, and they've given up lots themselves to try to make sure that doesn't happen. It's incumbent on all of us to make sure that time, energy and effort aren't wasted.
Welsh: Diolch am y sylwadau a'r cwestiynau, ac, yn wir, yn amlwg, rwyf wedi cwrdd â nifer o etholwyr Dawn Bowden yn y cyfarfodydd teulu, ac â nifer o etholwyr Dawn Bowden sy'n gweithio yn y gwasanaeth iechyd wrth imi gyfarfod â staff. Mae'r sylw ynglŷn â meithrin ymddiriedaeth y mae Dawn Bowden yn ei wneud yn un yr wyf yn ei gydnabod. Ymhlith yr Aelodau dros etholaethau sy'n ymgysylltu'n rheolaidd â'r bwrdd ac Aelodau rhanbarthol, rwy'n credu bod hynny'n deimlad cyffredin, ac, yn yr un modd, o safbwynt y Llywodraeth, mae yna broblem wedi bod, ac mae hynny'n rhan o'r rheswm pam mae'r gwasanaeth mewn mesurau arbennig a bod y sefydliad yn destun ymyrraeth wedi'i thargedu. Mae angen iddynt feithrin yr ymddiriedaeth honno yn y ffordd y maent yn ymddwyn, a dyna pam mae adroddiad y panel ar gynnydd yn bwysig, ond mae'n nodi'r hyn y mae'r bwrdd iechyd yn ei wneud mewn gwirionedd i ymateb i'r heriau a wynebant, yn adweithiol ac yn rhagweithiol, ar y daith hon o wella. Mae adrodd am ddigwyddiadau difrifol yn un arwydd o hynny. Mae'r ffaith eu bod nawr yn cydymffurfio'n briodol â lefelau Birthrate Plus yn arwydd arall o hynny, oherwydd, mewn gwirionedd, roedd pryderon ynghylch Birthrate Plus yn rhan o'r arwyddion o bryder, pan, ar ôl cael sicrwydd drwy swyddfa'r prif nyrs eu bod yn cydymffurfio â Birthrate Plus, roedd hi'n amlwg nad oeddent. Roedd hynny'n un o'r materion yr oedd y staff eu hunain yn cwyno amdano, ynglŷn â diffyg staff cyson ac am beidio â cheisio recriwtio'n briodol i'r swyddi gwag hynny. Felly, mae'r rheini'n bwysig iawn, gan fod angen eu cynnal er mwyn meithrin yr ymddiriedaeth y mae Dawn Bowden yn cyfeirio ati. Ac o ran eich sylwadau ynghylch y panel ac a ydynt yn cael yr adnoddau priodol, 'ydynt', rwy'n credu yw'r ateb syml i hynny. Ac os bydd angen mwy o adnoddau iddynt wneud eu gwaith, yna wrth gwrs byddaf eisiau sicrhau eu bod yn parhau i gael yr adnoddau i wneud yr hyn sydd angen iddynt ei wneud. Enghraifft dda o'r hyn rydym ni eisoes wedi'i wneud, fodd bynnag, yw'r ffaith bod gennym y tîm llawer mwy hwn o adolygwyr clinigol. Gyda'r cynnydd yn nifer yr adolygiadau sydd angen eu cynnal, mae'n amlwg ein bod wedi gorfod sicrhau bod gennym ni fwy o adolygwyr; fel arall, byddai wedi bod yn gyfnod annerbyniol o hir i'r holl adolygiadau hynny gael eu cynnal. Bydd yn cymryd cymaint o amser ag y mae'n ei gymryd, ond mae llawer mwy o bobl yn ymgymryd â'r swyddogaeth nawr nag yr oeddem yn credu y gallem eu cael ar y dechrau, pan oedd dim ond tua 40 o achosion, mae'n debyg, i edrych arnynt. Bellach, fel yr ydym ni nawr, mae tua 140. Ond mater i'r panel edrych arno fydd hynny, yn ogystal â phobl sy'n gallu eu cyfeirio eu hunain i'r broses hefyd. O ran eich sylw ynglŷn â sicrhau bod teuluoedd yn ganolog i'r adolygiadau clinigol a'r gefnogaeth iddynt, un peth sydd wedi bod yn ddefnyddiol yw'r ffordd y mae'r panel wedi cynhyrchu siart i helpu pobl i fynd drwy'r broses, gyda'r 12 cam ynddi. Nid yw wedi'i hysgrifennu fel dogfen ar gyfer gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol; mae wedi'i hysgrifennu ar gyfer y cyhoedd ehangach. Ac rwy'n credu y bu hi'n ddefnyddiol iawn i mi edrych ar honno a deall sut y bydd yn gweithio. Ar y cychwyn cyntaf, siaradais am y cyfle i deuluoedd adrodd eu hanes, a gallu gwneud hynny ac yna cael eu cefnogi i wneud hynny hefyd. Oherwydd, fel y dywedais yn gynharach, nid oes modd cau pen y mwdl ar yr hyn sydd wedi digwydd ym mhob un o'r grwpiau teuluol ar ôl cyfnod penodol. Felly, mae'r cymorth parhaus y bydd ei angen ar bobl ar ôl y posibilrwydd o golled neu niwed a achosir i rywun. A hyd yn oed os nad oes unrhyw niwed corfforol wedi'i achosi, yna bydd y ffordd y caiff pobl eu trin yn elfen pan fydd angen cymorth. Ac yn y digwyddiadau teuluol, rydym ni wedi cael grŵp Teardrop a'r grŵp Sands yno i roi cymorth hefyd, i wneud yn siŵr bod pobl yn cael eu cefnogi drwy'r broses gyfan hon, ac i'r bwrdd iechyd ddeall yr anghenion gofal parhaus sy'n bodoli. Unwaith eto, mae hynny i gyd yn rhan o ailennyn ymddiriedaeth a ffydd. Cawsom gymorth yn hynny o beth gan y ffaith y bu nifer o deuluoedd y gwyddom iddynt ddioddef niwed a cholled yn fodlon rhoi o'u hamser i helpu'r bwrdd iechyd i wella, ac mae'n gymhelliad gwirioneddol anhunanol ein bod yn cydnabod mewn llawer o bobl, nad ydyn nhw eisiau i bobl eraill fynd drwy'r hyn y maen nhw wedi'i brofi, ac maen nhw wedi aberthu llawer eu hunain i geisio gwneud yn siŵr nad yw hynny'n digwydd. Mae'n ddyletswydd ar bob un ohonom ni i sicrhau nad yw amser, egni ac ymdrech yn cael eu gwastraffu.
