English: I was going to call for a statement updating the situation in Betsi Cadwaladr; I note that Darren Millar my colleague has already done so. You said the health Minister will be making a statement on 25 February. Could I ask you to invite him to ensure that that does address the report that Darren Millar referred to on the psychological therapies review in north Wales by the TogetherBetter collaborative consultancy, an independent report? Because, in addition to the findings that Darren highlighted, it talks about a lack of shared vision about what you're seeking to achieve, a lack of strategic clarity and oversight at health board and divisional levels, and an enormous data deficit. And, worryingly, as the North Wales Community Health Council states, after nearly five years in special measures, much of it related to mental health issues, these findings are deeply disappointing. The key recommendations should have been tackled in 2015-16 when the health board was first taken into special measures. It is unsatisfactory to hear that these fundamental issues still remain unresolved almost five years on. Could you also ask the health Minister to incorporate specific reference to vascular services in north Wales relating to diseases of the blood vessels, the arteries and veins and the body's circulatory system, where our health council in north Wales has held four out of what will be 11 safe-space events across the region, and they're hearing clearly that public confidence in the north Wales vascular service has been severely compromised? They say that many people have said that they've written to the health board requesting information under freedom of information, but have not received anything. The view is that if figures were positive, the health board would be keen to release them, and that the community health council themselves have written requesting performance data and this has also been denied to the community health council on the grounds that it will eventually be provided as part of the vascular services review, which, they point out, is in clear breach of the legislation and regulation relating to community health councils' rights to information. The North Wales Community Health Council executive has considered this matter and strongly recommends that a degree of externality should be introduced now to the vascular review reflecting this. These are two of the key issues that are coming up across the region, one of which was the final tipping point in relation to the special measures. It is desperately unacceptable that, five years later, we should be hearing reports like this, and I hope you will therefore agree to ask your colleague to address these specifically alongside the wider matters that he may choose to present to us on 25 February.
Welsh: Roeddwn i'n mynd i alw am ddatganiad yn diweddaru'r sefyllfa ym mwrdd Betsi Cadwaladr; sylwaf fod Darren Millar, fy nghyd-Aelod, wedi gwneud hynny eisoes. Fe wnaethoch chi ddweud y bydd y Gweinidog iechyd yn gwneud datganiad ar 25 Chwefror. A allaf i ofyn ichi ei wahodd i sicrhau bod hynny'n ymdrin â'r adroddiad y cyfeiriodd Darren Millar ato, ar yr adolygiad o therapïau seicolegol yn y Gogledd gan yr ymgynghoriaeth gydweithredol TogetherBetter, sef adroddiad annibynnol? Oherwydd, yn ogystal â'r canfyddiadau y tynnodd Darren sylw atynt, mae'n sôn am ddiffyg gweledigaeth gyffredin ynglŷn â'r hyn yr ydych chi'n ceisio ei gyflawni, diffyg eglurder a goruchwyliaeth strategol ar lefelau byrddau iechyd ac is-adrannol, a diffyg data enfawr. Ac, yn anffodus, fel y dywedodd Cyngor Iechyd Cymuned Gogledd Cymru, ar ôl bron pum mlynedd mewn mesurau arbennig, roedd llawer ohono'n ymwneud â materion iechyd meddwl, mae'r canfyddiadau hyn yn hynod siomedig. Dylid bod wedi mynd i'r afael â'r argymhellion allweddol yn 2015-16 pan gafodd y Bwrdd Iechyd ei gymryd i fesurau arbennig gyntaf. Mae'n anfoddhaol clywed bod y materion sylfaenol hyn heb eu datrys bron i bum mlynedd ar ôl hynny. A allech chi hefyd ofyn i'r Gweinidog iechyd gynnwys cyfeiriad penodol at wasanaethau fasgwlaidd yn y Gogledd sy'n ymwneud â chlefydau'r pibellau gwaed, y rhydwelïau a'r gwythiennau a system gylchredol y corff? Mae ein cyngor iechyd yn y Gogledd wedi cynnal pedwar allan o'r 11 digwyddiad lleoliad-diogel ledled y rhanbarth, ac maen nhw'n clywed yn glir bod ymddiriedaeth y cyhoedd yng ngwasanaeth fasgwlaidd y Gogledd wedi cael ei gyfaddawdu'n ddifrifol. Dywedant fod llawer o bobl wedi dweud eu bod wedi ysgrifennu at y bwrdd iechyd yn gofyn am wybodaeth o dan ryddid gwybodaeth, ond heb gael unrhyw beth yn ôl. Y farn yw pe bai'r ffigurau'n gadarnhaol, byddai'r bwrdd iechyd yn awyddus i'w rhyddhau, a bod y cyngor iechyd cymuned eu hunain wedi ysgrifennu yn gofyn am ddata perfformiad a bod y cyngor iechyd cymuned wedi cael ei wrthod hefyd ar sail y ffaith y bydd yn cael ei ddarparu yn y pen draw fel rhan o adolygiad y gwasanaethau fasgwlaidd, sydd, yn eu tyb hwy, yn gwbl groes i'r ddeddfwriaeth a'r rheoliadau sy'n ymwneud â hawliau cynghorau iechyd cymuned i gael gwybodaeth. Mae gweithrediaeth Cyngor Iechyd Cymuned Gogledd Cymru wedi ystyried y mater hwn ac yn argymell yn gryf y dylid cyflwyno rhywfaint o allanoldeb nawr i'r adolygiad fasgwlaidd sy'n adlewyrchu hyn. Dyma ddau o'r materion allweddol sy'n codi ledled y rhanbarth, ac un ohonyn nhw oedd y trobwynt tyngedfennol o ran mesurau arbennig. Mae'n annerbyniol dros ben y dylem ni, bum mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, fod yn clywed adroddiadau fel hyn, a gobeithio y cytunwch chi felly i ofyn i'ch cyd-Weinidog fynd i'r afael â'r rhain yn benodol ynghyd â'r materion ehangach y gall ef ddewis eu cyflwyno inni ar 25 Chwefror.
