English: First of all, I do have to say that, back in September, the Member was asking me questions suggesting that the ambulance service in Hywel Dda was to be reduced. He was wrong then and he is wrong now. Indeed, on that issue, there will be more rather than fewer ambulance staff working in the Hywel Dda area. Of course I recognise what Paul Davies said in terms of those people living in his constituency. As I told Heledd Fychan, the pressure on the ambulance service is greater than it is on any other aspect of the health service in Wales. People in the service are working extremely hard to try to get support, such as the support from the military, as I mentioned, but they're also looking at recruitment too. The Government has provided those funds. Funding isn't a problem, because we've provided the funds to the ambulance service to recruit more staff in this financial year, and they're doing so. The problem at the moment is that the number of people who fall ill is increasing, while, simultaneously, the demand for services, and particularly red calls, has increased monthly over the winter months. That creates the problems that the ambulance service is facing and that people on the ground are facing too. I can tell the Member that I know that the service is working as hard as they possibly can to improve the situation. And, in the figures for the last month where figures are available, which is November, performance for the ambulance service had improved, they were more successful than they were in October. So, there are some things that they are doing that are succeeding, but they're succeeding in a very challenging context.
Welsh: Jest i ddechrau, bydd yn rhaid i fi ddweud, yn ôl ym mis Medi, roedd yr Aelod yn gofyn cwestiynau i ni, gan awgrymu y byddai'r gwasanaeth ambiwlans yn Hywel Dda yn cael ei leihau. Roedd yn anghywir bryd hynny, ac mae'n anghywir nawr. Yn wir, ar y mater hwnnw, bydd mwy o staff ambiwlans, nid llai, yn gweithio yn ardal Hywel Dda. Wrth gwrs dwi'n cydnabod beth ddywedodd Paul Davies ar ran pobl sy'n byw yn ei ardal e. Fel y dywedais i wrth Heledd Fychan, mae'r straen yn y gwasanaeth ambiwlans yn fwy nag unrhyw agwedd arall ar y gwasanaeth iechyd yng Nghymru. Mae'r bobl yn y gwasanaeth yn gweithio'n galed i drial cael mwy o bobl, fel y cymorth dŷn ni'n ei gael oddi wrth y fyddin ar hyn o bryd, ond i recriwtio pobl eraill hefyd. Mae'r Llywodraeth wedi rhoi yr arian - nid diffyg arian yw'r broblem o gwbl, achos dŷn ni wedi rhoi'r arian i'r gwasanaeth ambiwlans i recriwtio mwy o bobl yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon. Ac maen nhw yn ei wneud e. Y broblem ar hyn o bryd yw bod nifer y bobl sy'n cwympo'n dost yn mynd lan, ac, ar yr un amser, mae galwadau, a galwadau coch hefyd, wedi cynyddu bron bob mis dros y gaeaf. Ac mae hwnna'n creu'r problemau y mae'r gwasanaeth yn eu hwynebu ac y mae'r bobl yn eu hwynebu hefyd. Gallaf i ddweud wrth yr Aelod fy mod i'n gwybod, yn y gwasanaeth, eu bod nhw'n gweithio mor galed ag y gallan nhw i gryfhau'r sefyllfa sydd gyda nhw. Ac yn y ffigurau am y mis mwyaf diweddar ble mae ffigurau ar gael - mis Tachwedd - roedd perfformiad y gwasanaeth ambiwlans wedi mynd lan, roedden nhw yn fwy llwyddiannus nag yr oedden nhw ym mis Hydref. So, mae rhai pethau maen nhw'n eu gwneud yn llwyddo, ond llwyddo mewn sefyllfa sy'n heriol dros ben.
