English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary for your statement. There are some elements, definitely, to welcome. I'm particularly pleased to see the appointment of an executive director of primary and community care - I think that's clearly absolutely crucial, although I would share some of Darren Millar's concerns about some of the other people who are still there from the previous regime. I trust that you and your officials have satisfied yourselves that those people will be able to operate in such a way that they will fully comply with your expectations of a fresh start for Betsi Cadwaladr. I would not expect you, here in this Chamber or publicly, to say anything about those reassurances, but I would like to be reassured that you have received them. I want to first of all look at something that you don't say very much about in your statement, and that is about staffing. You do refer to the fact that you now have 65 per cent of the staff saying that they're proud to work for Betsi Cadwaladr. Well, that is a good thing, but, of course, that means that you have 35 per cent of the staff who are not. Now, if that was a private sector business and it had 35 per cent of its staff not being happy, they would still be very concerned, and I'd just like to seek your reassurance that there's no complacency from your or your officials about that percentage, because it isn't a good place to be. That 35 per cent is an awful lot of people on the front line who are dealing with patients every day. I'd also be grateful if you can tell us a little bit more about the issues with recruitment and retention. Are you seeing an improvement - are you and your officials seeing an improvement - in the board's ability to recruit crucial staff and to retain them? Because, obviously, it's those front-line staff who are dealing with the patients and their families every day who are the crucial building blocks for the board, and, of course, for the trust of the public in the area, because those are the people who interface with patients. I'd like to refer back to the Tawel Fan families. I was somewhat relieved to hear your response to the points raised by Darren Millar, because if one read or listened to your statement, one could be left with the impression that you were dismissing the concerns of those families who are not satisfied. Now, you have reassured us that that is not the case and I'm very glad to hear that. In your statement you refer - that section of the statement that refers to Tawel Fan - to your officials being clear about the need for the board to communicate effectively with staff. I hope that you will be able to extend that comment to say that you're being very clear too on the need for the board to communicate very effectively with those families, because it's very often the case, is it not, that if people don't feel informed - . Even if they're not entirely happy, if they feel informed and they know what's happening, that provides us with some reassurance. I won't repeat some of the questions that Darren has already raised with you, but I finally want to come back to the point about timescale. Now, nobody would expect you to set some sort of artificial exit point for this, because you've got to be reassured that the board is in a fit state to run itself and manage itself and manage its staff before you can withdraw special measures. But it would seem to me that the special measures have been in place for so long now that they're beginning to feel like the status quo. So, are you able to give us some assessment - ? You mention your expectation around further and more rapid progress, and I'm sure we'd all agree with that, but are you able to give us some sort of assessment about how much longer you expect this to go on, bearing in mind, as I've said, that nobody would expect you to say, 'Right, we'll be out of here by 30 June', or whatever it is? Because it is getting to the point, I think, when people are beginning to feel that this is going - you know, 'When is the end point?' Now, of course, it could be argued that there is merit in the Welsh Government actually managing the health service in Wales directly and taking direct responsibility for it. But that's not the situation here. So, if we could have some sort of sense about how much longer you think this is going to take, I think the Chamber - and, more importantly, the people of the north - would be very grateful.
Welsh: Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, am eich datganiad. Ceir rhai elfennau, yn bendant, i'w croesawu. Rwy'n arbennig o falch o weld penodi cyfarwyddwr gweithredol gofal sylfaenol a chymunedol - credaf fod hynny'n amlwg yn gwbl hanfodol, er fy mod i yr un mor bryderus â Darren Millar ynglŷn â rhai o'r bobl eraill sy'n dal i fod yno o'r drefn flaenorol. Rwy'n gobeithio eich bod chi a'ch swyddogion yn ffyddiog y bydd y bobl hynny yn gallu gweithredu yn y fath fodd fel eu bod yn cydymffurfio'n llawn â'ch disgwyliadau o ddechreuad newydd ar gyfer Betsi Cadwaladr. Nid wyf yn disgwyl ichi, yma yn y Siambr hon neu yn gyhoeddus, i ddweud unrhyw beth am y sicrwydd hwnnw, ond hoffwn gael sicrwydd eich bod yn ffyddiog. Rwyf eisiau dechrau drwy edrych ar rywbeth nad ydych chi'n dweud llawer iawn amdano yn eich datganiad, ac mae hynny'n ymwneud â staffio. Rydych chi yn cyfeirio at y ffaith bod 65 y cant o'r staff bellach yn dweud eu bod yn falch o weithio i fwrdd Betsi Cadwaladr. Wel, mae hynny'n beth da, ond, wrth gwrs, mae hynny'n golygu bod gennych chi 35 y cant o staff nad ydynt. Nawr, pe byddai hynny yn fusnes sector preifat a bod 35 y cant o'i staff yn anhapus, byddent yn dal i fod yn bryderus iawn, ac fe hoffwn i ofyn am sicrwydd gennych chi nad oes yna unrhyw ddifaterwch gennych chi na'ch swyddogion am ganran honno, oherwydd nid yw hyn yn sefyllfa dda i fod ynddi. Mae'r 35 y cant yna yn llawer iawn o bobl ar y rheng flaen sy'n delio â chleifion bob dydd. Byddwn hefyd yn ddiolchgar pe gallech chi ddweud ychydig mwy am y problemau gyda recriwtio a chadw staff. Ydych chi'n gweld gwelliant - ydych chi a'ch swyddogion yn gweld gwelliant - yng ngallu'r bwrdd i recriwtio staff hanfodol a'u cadw? Oherwydd, yn amlwg, y staff rheng flaen hynny sy'n ymdrin â'r cleifion a'u teuluoedd bob dydd yw'r blociau adeiladu hanfodol ar gyfer y bwrdd, ac, wrth gwrs, ar gyfer ymddiriedaeth y cyhoedd yn yr ardal, oherwydd nhw yw'r bobl sy'n dod i gysylltiad â chleifion. Hoffwn gyfeirio'n ôl at deuluoedd Tawel Fan. Roedd hi'n eithaf rhyddhad clywed eich ymateb i sylwadau Darren Millar, oherwydd pe byddai rhywun yn darllen neu yn gwrando ar eich datganiad, gallai gael yr argraff eich bod yn wfftio pryderon y teuluoedd hynny nad ydynt yn fodlon. Nawr, rydych chi wedi ein sicrhau ni nad yw hynny'n wir ac rwy'n falch iawn o glywed hynny. Yn eich datganiad rydych chi'n cyfeirio - y rhan honno o'r datganiad sy'n cyfeirio at Tawel Fan - bod eich swyddogion yn gwbl glir ynghylch yr angen i'r bwrdd gyfathrebu'n effeithiol â staff. Rwy'n gobeithio y gallwch chi ymestyn y sylw hwnnw i ddweud eich bod chi'n glir iawn hefyd ynglŷn â'r angen i'r bwrdd gyfathrebu'n effeithiol iawn gyda'r teuluoedd hynny, oherwydd yn aml iawn mae'n wir, onid yw, os nad yw pobl yn teimlo eu bod yn cael gwybod - . Hyd yn oed os nad ydyn nhw'n gwbl fodlon, os ydyn nhw' teimlo eu bod yn cael gwybodaeth ac yn gwybod beth sy'n digwydd, mae hynny'n rhoi rhywfaint o sicrwydd inni. Wnaf i ddim ailadrodd rhai o'r cwestiynau y mae Darren eisoes wedi eich holi yn eu cylch, ond yn olaf rwyf eisiau dod yn ôl at y sylw ynghylch yr amserlen. Nawr, ni fyddai neb yn disgwyl ichi osod rhyw fath o derfyn artiffisial ar gyfer hyn, oherwydd mae angen ichi fod yn ffyddiog bod y bwrdd mewn cyflwr addas i gynnal ei hun a rheoli ei hun ac i reoli ei staff cyn y gallwch chi ddiddymu'r mesurau arbennig. Ond mae'n ymddangos i mi y bu'r mesurau arbennig sydd wedi bod ar waith ers cyn hired yn awr maen nhw'n dechrau teimlo fel y drefn arferol. Felly, a allwch chi roi rhyw fath o asesiad inni - ? Rydych chi'n sôn am eich disgwyliad o ran cynnydd pellach a chyflymach, ac rwy'n siŵr y byddem ni i gyd yn cytuno â hynny, ond a allwch chi roi rhyw fath o asesiad ynglŷn â faint yn hwy y disgwyliwch i hyn barhau, gan gadw mewn cof, fel rwy'n dweud, nad oes neb yn disgwyl ichi ddweud, 'Iawn, byddwn ni allan o'r rhain erbyn 30 Mehefin', neu pryd bynnag fyddai hynny? Oherwydd mae'n cyrraedd sefyllfa, yn fy marn i, pan fo pobl yn dechrau teimlo bod hyn yn mynd - wyddoch chi, 'ble mae'r man terfyn?' Nawr, wrth gwrs, gellid dadlau y byddai hi'n fuddiol i Lywodraeth Cymru mewn gwirionedd reoli'r gwasanaeth iechyd yng Nghymru yn uniongyrchol a bod yn uniongyrchol gyfrifol amdano. Ond nid dyna'r sefyllfa yma. Felly, pe gallem ni gael rhyw fath o syniad ynglŷn â faint yn hwy y credwch chi y bydd hyn yn parhau, rwy'n credu y byddai'r Siambr - ac, yn bwysicach, pobl y gogledd - yn ddiolchgar iawn.
