English: Thank you for that. I think there were four broad questions there. On whether this award is the answer to the range of challenges that you've set out regarding recruitment and retention, on its own, no, of course it is not, but the award itself is an important part of the answer about encouraging doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals to train, work and live in Wales. It's part of a suite of measures, it's part of the approach that we take and the genuine social partnership we have, and not just with doctors and dentists, but it's consistent with the approach that we took with our 'Agenda for Change' staff, where we listened to what the independent body had to say, where there were negotiations between staff side and employers, and we managed to find a way to invest in their pay, because, as you will know, Angela Burns, the UK Treasury did not provide additional funding to cover the independent review body's recommendations. We had to invest additional Welsh Government resources in this pay deal, as in the 'Agenda for Change' one. So, we have made a deliberate choice, with Welsh Government resources. That is a Welsh Labour choice that I am proud to have made. On locum pay, locum pay is different. It is generally negotiated outside normal contractual arrangements, but I'll have more to say on locum pay later in the year in reporting the impact of the cap that I introduced in Wales and its impact upon variable pay across the national health service - again, a measure that I took last year - and I'm more than happy to report back to Members on the impact of that after a full year of operation. On consultant and specialist doctors' pay, I'm happy to confirm that this is a 2 per cent base increase in the salary of doctors and dentists, including doctors in training and consultants. There's an additional 2 per cent for general practice. There is also an additional 1.5 per cent for specialist doctors. So, we are dealing with the recommendations that we have been provided with. On your point about avoiding unhelpful internal competition, the way in which you phrased the question suggests that we should have simply followed what England or Scotland did when they chose, having received the independent review body's advice, not to implement it. They chose to impose a cut compared to the review body's recommendation, and your colleagues in England chose not only to cut the recommendation, they chose to implement it from October rather than the April that it was recommended from. I have to say that, in your press release, it was rather mean spirited and not wholly accurate to suggest that we had held this up. We have had a genuine conversation in partnership with the British Medical Association and the BDA and I am pleased to confirm that this Welsh Government does respect the recommendations of independent pay review bodies, and we have invested in our staff, in the future of our health service, and there could not be a clearer contrast between this Welsh Labour Government and the Tories across our border.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am hynny. Credaf fod pedwar cwestiwn yno yn fras. O ran ai'r dyfarniad cyflog hwn yw'r ateb i'r ystod o heriau a nodwyd gennych mewn perthynas â recriwtio a chadw staff, ar ei ben ei hun, na, wrth gwrs nad dyma'r ateb, ond mae'r dyfarniad ei hun yn rhan bwysig o'r ateb mewn perthynas ag annog meddygon, deintyddion a gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol eraill i hyfforddi, gweithio a byw yng Nghymru. Mae'n rhan o gyfres o fesurau, mae'n rhan o'r dull rydym wedi'i fabwysiadu a'r bartneriaeth gymdeithasol ddilys sydd gennym, ac nid yn unig gyda meddygon a deintyddion, ond mae'n gyson â'r dull a fabwysiadwyd gyda'n staff 'Agenda ar gyfer Newid', lle roeddem yn gwrando ar yr hyn a oedd gan y corff annibynnol i'w ddweud, lle roedd negodiadau rhwng staff a chyflogwyr, a llwyddasom i ddod o hyd i ffordd i fuddsoddi yn eu cyflog, oherwydd, fel y byddwch yn gwybod, Angela Burns, ni ddarparodd Trysorlys y DU gyllid ychwanegol i dalu am argymhellion y corff adolygu annibynnol. Bu'n rhaid inni fuddsoddi adnoddau ychwanegol gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn y cynnig cyflog hwn, fel gyda chynnig yr 'Agenda ar gyfer Newid'. Felly, rydym wedi gwneud dewis bwriadol gydag adnoddau Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae hwnnw'n ddewis Llafur Cymru rwy'n falch o fod wedi'i wneud. O ran cyflogau locwm, mae cyflogau locwm yn wahanol. Yn gyffredinol, cânt eu negodi ar wahân i drefniadau cytundebol arferol, ond bydd gennyf fwy i'w ddweud am gyflogau locwm yn ddiweddarach yn y flwyddyn pan fyddaf yn adrodd ar effaith y cap a gyflwynais yng Nghymru a'i effaith ar gyflogau newidiol ar draws y gwasanaeth iechyd gwladol - unwaith eto, mesur a gyflwynais y llynedd - ac rwy'n fwy na pharod i adrodd yn ôl wrth yr Aelodau ar effaith hynny ar ôl blwyddyn lawn o weithrediad. Mewn perthynas â chyflogau meddygon ymgynghorol a meddygon arbenigol, rwy'n falch o gadarnhau bod hwn yn gynnydd sylfaenol o 2 y cant yng nghyflog meddygon a deintyddion, gan gynnwys meddygon dan hyfforddiant a meddygon ymgynghorol. Ceir 2 y cant yn ychwanegol ar gyfer ymarfer cyffredinol. Hefyd, ceir 1.5 y cant yn ychwanegol ar gyfer meddygon arbenigol. Felly, rydym yn mynd i'r afael â'r argymhellion a ddarparwyd ar ein cyfer. O ran eich pwynt ynglŷn ag osgoi cystadleuaeth fewnol ddi-fudd, mae'r ffordd rydych wedi geirio'r cwestiwn yn awgrymu y dylem fod wedi dilyn yr hyn a wnaeth Lloegr neu'r Alban wrth ddewis peidio â gweithredu cyngor y corff adolygu annibynnol ar ôl ei gael. Dewis gwneud toriad a wnaethant yn hytrach na dilyn argymhelliad y corff adolygu, a dewisodd eich cydweithwyr yn Lloegr nid yn unig eu bod am dorri'r hyn a argymhellwyd, ond eu bod am ei roi ar waith ym mis Hydref yn hytrach na mis Ebrill, fel yr argymhellwyd. Mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud, yn eich datganiad i'r wasg, roedd awgrymu ein bod wedi dal hyn yn ôl yn beth go wael i'w wneud ac nid oedd yn gwbl gywir. Rydym wedi cael sgwrs go iawn mewn partneriaeth â Chymdeithas Feddygol Prydain a Chymdeithas Ddeintyddol Prydain ac rwy'n falch o gadarnhau bod y Llywodraeth hon yn parchu argymhellion cyrff adolygu cyflog annibynnol, ac rydym wedi buddsoddi yn ein staff, yn nyfodol ein gwasanaeth iechyd, ac ni ellid cael cyferbyniad cliriach rhwng Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru a'r Torïaid dros y ffin.
