English: Well, looking at the broader dentistry workforce, on my last visit to north Wales, I managed to visit the Valley Dental Practice on my way to celebrating the opening of the all-Wales faculty for dental professional training in Bangor University. So, we're investing in north Wales and that is, like I said, the all-Wales faculty, providing training and leadership for that wider group of dental care professionals. Actually, the example of the Valley practice is a good example of where contract reform is making a real difference, from recruiting a dentist who then works with a wider range of professionals, that now means that there are 3,000 more NHS patients on lists in that particular area compared with two years ago. And that is because of the deliberate use of skill mix and the professional development needs they've got. When I met people in the faculty in Bangor, they were talking about the help they've been able to provide to a range of practices about how they run their practice and what that means in terms of the best use of the time of the dentists themselves, and also making it a more attractive proposition for people to come into the area. I am, of course, open-minded about the future for dental training. I don't have a hard-and-fast idea about not increasing numbers or, indeed, where those people train. It's about having a properly evidenced case and understanding what that means in terms of investment and the opportunities to do so. As we have done with general practice training, we've shown a level of ambition that we've been able to meet and to consistently increase over the last couple of years. I'm entirely open-minded about the evidence that we get from the investments we're already making about what that could mean, not just for north Wales, but for the rest of the country too.
Welsh: Wel, o edrych ar y gweithlu deintyddiaeth ehangach, ar fy ymweliad diwethaf â gogledd Cymru, llwyddais i ymweld â Deintyddfa Fali ar fy ffordd i ddathlu agoriad cyfadran Cymru ar gyfer hyfforddiant deintyddol proffesiynol ym Mhrifysgol Bangor. Felly, rydym yn buddsoddi yng ngogledd Cymru a honno, fel y dywedais, yw'r gyfadran ar gyfer Cymru gyfan, sy'n darparu hyfforddiant ac arweiniad i'r grŵp ehangach o weithwyr gofal deintyddol proffesiynol. Mewn gwirionedd, mae deintyddfa Fali yn enghraifft dda o'r modd y mae diwygio contractau yn gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol, o recriwtio deintydd sydd wedyn yn gweithio gydag ystod ehangach o weithwyr proffesiynol, mae hynny bellach yn golygu bod 3,000 yn fwy o gleifion y GIG ar restrau yn yr ardal honno o gymharu â dwy flynedd yn ôl. A hynny oherwydd y defnydd bwriadol o gymysgedd sgiliau a'r anghenion datblygiad proffesiynol sydd ganddynt. Pan gyfarfûm â phobl yn y gyfadran ym Mangor, roeddent yn sôn am y cymorth y maent wedi gallu ei roi i amrywiaeth o ddeintyddfeydd ar sut i redeg eu deintyddfa a beth y mae hynny'n ei olygu o ran defnydd gorau o amser y deintyddion eu hunain, ac mae hefyd yn ei wneud yn gynnig mwy deniadol i bobl ddod i'r ardal. Mae gennyf feddwl agored wrth gwrs am ddyfodol hyfforddiant deintyddol. Nid oes gennyf syniad pendant ynglŷn â sut i gynyddu niferoedd nac, yn wir, lle mae'r bobl hynny'n hyfforddi. Mae'n ymwneud â chael achos â thystiolaeth briodol yn sail iddo a deall beth y mae hynny'n ei olygu o ran buddsoddi a'r cyfleoedd i wneud hynny. Fel rydym wedi'i wneud gyda hyfforddiant ymarfer cyffredinol, rydym wedi dangos lefel o uchelgais y gallasom ei chyrraedd a'i chynyddu'n gyson dros y flwyddyn neu ddwy ddiwethaf. Mae gennyf feddwl cwbl agored am y dystiolaeth a gawn o'r buddsoddiadau rydym eisoes yn eu gwneud mewn perthynas â'r hyn y gallai hynny ei olygu, nid yn unig i ogledd Cymru, ond i weddill y wlad hefyd.
