English: I thought we were in for a kinder politics, actually. I haven't insulted you personally. Now, one recent idea as to how to fund social care is the proposal this week that has been outlined by the Rt Hon Damian Green MP in his paper on fixing the care crisis. It's fair to say that the UK Government realise that it's a ticking time bomb where social care pressures are and they are prepared to do something about it. Now, this would see a pension-style system introduced, guaranteeing a reasonable universal safety net. I'm not endorsing this at this point, but what I'm saying is that they are looking at it and coming up with meaningful and potential ways to address the issue. The way you smile, you look as if you don't even believe that there's a social care funding crisis in Wales. Now, this would help increase the flow of private funding into the - .

Welsh: Roeddwn o dan yr argraff ein bod am gael gwleidyddiaeth fwy caredig. Nid wyf wedi'ch sarhau chi'n bersonol. Nawr, un syniad diweddar ynglŷn â sut i ariannu gofal cymdeithasol yw'r cynnig yr wythnos hon a amlinellwyd gan y Gwir Anrhydeddus Damian Green AS yn ei bapur ar ddatrys yr argyfwng gofal. Mae'n deg dweud bod Llywodraeth y DU yn sylweddoli fod gennym fom sy'n tician o ran ble mae'r pwysau ar ofal cymdeithasol ac maent yn barod i wneud rhywbeth ynglŷn â hynny. Nawr, byddai hyn yn golygu cyflwyno system debyg i'r system bensiynau, gan warantu rhwyd ddiogelwch gyffredinol resymol. Nid wyf yn cymeradwyo hyn ar hyn o bryd, ond yr hyn rwy'n ei ddweud yw eu bod yn ystyried y mater ac yn cynnig ffyrdd ystyrlon a phosibl o fynd i'r afael ag ef. Y ffordd rydych yn gwenu, rydych yn edrych fel pe na baech hyd yn oed yn credu bod argyfwng ariannu gofal cymdeithasol yn bodoli yng Nghymru. Nawr, byddai hyn yn helpu i gynyddu llif yr arian preifat i'r - . [ Torri ar draws.] Gallwch heclo a cheisio'i gefnogi o'r cyrion -
English: Don't take any notice of them; that's the best advice I can give. Ignore them completely and carry on.
Welsh: Peidiwch â chymryd unrhyw sylw ohonynt; dyna'r cyngor gorau y gallaf ei roi. Anwybyddwch hwy yn llwyr a pharhewch.
English: Thank you. Just for the reference, £1.20 is spent on public services in Wales - provided by the UK Government - for every £1 in England. So, there's an obvious fault there, isn't there, when, clearly, there's less money being spent in England, and - [ Inaudible.] - delivery? But, anyway, on with my question. This would encourage a greater voluntary contribution of the around £163 billion in non-pension assets possessed by each annual cohort of 65-year-olds in Great Britain. Now, the merits of the proposal may be a debate for another day, but at least, as I've said, they're looking at it. But we must acknowledge that something has to be done in Wales. Can you say yourself that the Welsh Government, and you as a Minister, are doing enough to do this, and will you also confirm to me how you have taken forward one, two or even more of the nine recommendations of the Finance Committee report, 'The cost of caring for an ageing population', especially No. 7, which highlights the need to engage with the public about the future funding of social care in Wales, and to have a national conversation? Have you taken those recommendations forward, and are you prepared to have that national conversation?
Welsh: Diolch. Er gwybodaeth, caiff £1.20 ei wario ar wasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru - a ddarperir gan Lywodraeth y DU - am bob £1 yn Lloegr. Felly, onid oes gwendid amlwg yno, pan fo llai o arian yn cael ei wario yn Lloegr, ac - [ Anghlywadwy.] - darpariaeth? Ond beth bynnag, yn ôl at fy nghwestiwn. Byddai hyn yn annog cyfraniad gwirfoddol mwy o faint o'r oddeutu £163 biliwn mewn asedau nad ydynt yn bensiynau sydd gan bob carfan flynyddol o bobl 65 oed ym Mhrydain. Nawr, gall rhinweddau'r cynnig fod yn ddadl ar gyfer rhyw dro eto, ond o leiaf, fel y dywedais, maent yn ei ystyried. Ond mae'n rhaid i ni gydnabod bod yn rhaid gwneud rhywbeth yng Nghymru. A allwch ddweud eich hun fod Llywodraeth Cymru, a chi fel Gweinidog, yn gwneud digon i wneud hyn, ac a wnewch chi gadarnhau i mi hefyd sut rydych wedi bwrw ymlaen ag un, dau neu fwy na hynny hyd yn oed o'r naw argymhelliad yn adroddiad y Pwyllgor Cyllid, 'Cost gofalu am boblogaeth sy'n heneiddio', yn enwedig Rhif 7, sy'n nodi'r angen i ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd ynghylch ariannu gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol, ac i gael sgwrs genedlaethol? A ydych wedi bwrw ymlaen â'r argymhellion hynny, ac a ydych yn barod i gael y sgwrs genedlaethol honno?
English: A very, very weak response from a Government Minister. You have just actually admitted to this Chamber that despite you having the levers, despite you having the resources financially, and despite you having the powers, you're actually waiting for a Green Paper from the United Kingdom Government. What happened to devolution? What happened to you taking the lead as a Government Minister and as a Welsh Labour Government? You've answered that question. But, anyway, I've got one more for you. [ Laughter. ] There are 370,000 carers in Wales providing 96 per cent of the care in communities across Wales and they contribute more than £8.1 billion to the Welsh economy every year. Now, if just a small percentage of these hard-working carers stopped caring, health and social care services would undoubtedly submerge into a deeper crisis than I have mentioned. Therefore, challenges faced by unpaid carers in Wales must be addressed by you. For example, I am shocked, and I am sure other Members here would be, to learn -
Welsh: Ymateb gwan tu hwnt gan Weinidog Llywodraeth. Rydych newydd gyfaddef i'r Siambr hon, er bod y dulliau gennych, er bod yr adnoddau ariannol gennych, ac er bod y pwerau gennych, eich bod yn aros am Bapur Gwyrdd gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig. Beth ddigwyddodd i ddatganoli? Beth ddigwyddodd i chi'n cymryd yr awenau fel Gweinidog Llywodraeth ac fel Llywodraeth Lafur yng Nghymru? Rydych wedi ateb y cwestiwn hwnnw. Ond beth bynnag, mae gennyf un arall i chi. [ Chwerthin.] Mae 370,000 o ofalwyr yng Nghymru yn darparu 96 y cant o'r gofal mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru ac maent yn cyfrannu dros £8.1 biliwn i economi Cymru bob blwyddyn. Nawr, pe bai canran fechan yn unig o'r gofalwyr gweithgar hyn yn rhoi'r gorau i ofalu, byddai gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, heb os, yn wynebu argyfwng mwy difrifol na'r un y soniais amdano. Felly, mae'n rhaid i chi fynd i'r afael â'r heriau sy'n wynebu gofalwyr di-dâl yng Nghymru. Er enghraifft, rwy'n synnu, ac rwy'n siŵr y byddai Aelodau eraill yma'n synnu, wrth glywed -
English: You do need to come to your question now. You don't need to preamble your third question.
Welsh: Mae angen i chi ofyn eich cwestiwn nawr. Nid oes angen rhagymadrodd i'ch trydydd cwestiwn.
English: Many carers are unable to access appropriate breaks from their caring responsibilities in order for themselves to live healthy and fulfilling lives and to reach their own potential in terms of education and employment. What urgent steps are you taking to ensure that all carers receive the adequate breaks they require and that the full cost of replacement of respite care in order for them to live their own fulfilled lives is achieved?
Welsh: Mae llawer o ofalwyr yn methu manteisio ar gyfnodau egwyl priodol o'u cyfrifoldebau gofalu er mwyn iddynt allu byw bywydau iach a chyflawn eu hunain a chyrraedd eu potensial eu hunain o ran addysg a chyflogaeth. Pa gamau a roddwch ar waith ar fyrder i sicrhau bod pob gofalwr yn cael yr egwyl angenrheidiol, ac y telir am gost lawn trefnu gofal seibiant er mwyn iddynt allu byw bywydau cyflawn eu hunain?
English: Thank you for the question on carers - an important subject on which there is some cross-party agreement that we need to find a better deal on. The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 provides rights that do not exist in other parts of the United Kingdom. Our challenge is how we work with our partners and make sure those rights are realised. There is no lack of focus on carers and, indeed, the Deputy Minister is leading work with carers on implementing a better deal for them here in Wales. I actually think the problem with this set of questions is that when you talk about powers, levers and resources that already exist, actually the undeniable truth is we have only recently had powers over changing our income. We have not had the resources. That's a point I've continually made about austerity and your failure to take any kind of responsibility for the choice that you have actively campaigned for in three successive general elections. It is a Conservative choice, it is a Conservative creation - the crisis that we see across public services right across the United Kingdom. The challenge in this exchange is that, unfortunately, Llywydd, I just don't think the Member understands what is actually happening within the country, and let's just leave it at that.
Welsh: Diolch am eich cwestiwn ar ofalwyr - pwnc pwysig, a cheir rhywfaint o gytundeb trawsbleidiol fod angen i ni sicrhau bargen well ar eu cyfer. Mae Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 yn darparu hawliau nad ydynt yn bodoli mewn rhannau eraill o'r Deyrnas Unedig. Yr her i ni yw sut y gweithiwn gyda'n partneriaid a sicrhau bod yr hawliau hynny'n cael eu gwireddu. Ni cheir diffyg ffocws ar ofalwyr, ac yn wir, mae'r Dirprwy Weinidog yn arwain gwaith gyda gofalwyr ar sicrhau bargen well ar eu cyfer yma yng Nghymru. Mewn gwirionedd, credaf mai'r broblem gyda'r set hon o gwestiynau, pan fyddwch yn siarad am bwerau, ysgogiadau ac adnoddau sy'n bodoli eisoes, y gwir amdani yw mai yn ddiweddar iawn y cawsom bwerau dros newid ein hincwm. Ni fu'r adnoddau gennym i wneud hynny. Rwyf wedi codi'r pwynt yn barhaus ynghylch cyni a'ch methiant i gymryd unrhyw gyfrifoldeb am y dewis rydych wedi ymgyrchu'n weithredol drosto mewn tri etholiad cyffredinol yn olynol. Mae'n ddewis Ceidwadol, yn greadigaeth Geidwadol - yr argyfwng a welwn mewn gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ledled y Deyrnas Unedig. Yr her yn y ddadl hon, yn anffodus, Lywydd, yw na chredaf fod yr Aelod yn deall beth sy'n digwydd yn y wlad mewn gwirionedd, a gadewch i ni adael pethau ar hynny.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. The Minister will know that in the years 2017-18, 100,000 ophthalmology patients' appointments were cancelled, often at very short notice, and that figure was a rise of 5.5 per cent on two years before. Those who have been waiting for twice as long as they should for a follow-up appointment were 35,000 in December 2018, up from 15,000 in April 2015. The latest figures that I have been able to find for those people who go blind whilst waiting for treatment in Wales is 48. That was back in 2014 in a Royal National Institute of Blind People report. Is it not a scandal that a single person in Wales should go blind whilst waiting for treatment by the NHS?
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Bydd y Gweinidog yn ymwybodol fod 100,000 o apwyntiadau cleifion offthalmoleg wedi'u canslo yn y blynyddoedd 2017-18, yn aml heb fawr o rybudd, ac roedd y ffigur hwnnw'n gynnydd o 5.5 y cant ar ddwy flynedd ynghynt. Roedd 35,000 o bobl wedi bod yn aros ddwywaith mor hir ag y dylent am apwyntiad dilynol ym mis Rhagfyr 2018, i fyny o 15,000 ym mis Ebrill 2015. Dengys y ffigurau diweddaraf y gallais ddod o hyd iddynt fod 48 o bobl wedi mynd yn ddall wrth aros am driniaeth yng Nghymru. Roedd hynny yn ôl yn 2014 mewn adroddiad gan Sefydliad Cenedlaethol Brenhinol Pobl Ddall. Onid yw'n warth fod unrhyw unigolyn yng Nghymru yn mynd yn ddall wrth aros am driniaeth gan y GIG?
English: This is an area in which we've actually changed measures, and the difference between measures and what happened in the service actually matters. We were measuring a referral-to-treatment target that didn't actually take account of the clinical priority of patients. So, we had a blunt measure that didn't take account of how the service should act to actually deal with the potential clinical harm. So, one of the things that I have done is that I have now worked with the service, together with the Royal National Institute of Blind People, and we have new measures in place that actually take account of clinical priority. So, some people will wait longer, but we will prioritise those people in the greatest need to avoid the prospect of people actually suffering avoidable sight loss. It's a deliberate choice that we've made, and I believe the health service and the people of Wales will be better off for it, and it enjoys the widespread support of both clinicians and the third sector.
Welsh: Mae hwn yn faes lle rydym wedi newid y mesurau, mewn gwirionedd, ac mae'r gwahaniaeth rhwng y mesurau a'r hyn a ddigwyddodd yn y gwasanaeth yn bwysig. Roeddem yn mesur targed rhwng atgyfeirio a thriniaeth nad oedd yn ystyried blaenoriaeth glinigol y cleifion. Felly, roedd gennym fesur amrwd nad oedd yn ystyried sut y dylai'r gwasanaeth weithredu i fynd i'r afael â'r niwed clinigol posibl. Felly, un o'r pethau a wneuthum yw gweithio gyda'r gwasanaeth, ynghyd â'r Sefydliad Cenedlaethol Brenhinol Pobl Ddall, ac mae gennym fesurau newydd ar waith sy'n ystyried blaenoriaeth glinigol. Felly, bydd rhai pobl yn aros am gyfnodau hwy, ond byddwn yn blaenoriaethu'r bobl â'r angen mwyaf er mwyn osgoi'r posibilrwydd y bydd pobl yn colli eu golwg lle gellir osgoi hynny. Rydym wedi gwneud dewis bwriadol, a chredaf y bydd y gwasanaeth iechyd a phobl Cymru yn well eu byd o'i herwydd, ac mae clinigwyr a'r trydydd sector yn gyffredinol yn ei gefnogi.
English: Well, better late than never, I certainly acknowledge that, but there is still a very long way to go. The Minister will know that the Public Accounts Committee has been taking an interest in this area, and recently we took evidence form Aneurin Bevan health board, which noted the need for improvement on its current 62 per cent performance of risk 1 patients being seen by the target date or within 25 per cent in excess of the target date. Risk 1 is defined by the RNIB as a risk of irreversible harm or significant patient adverse outcome if the patient target date is missed. These delays are really intolerable, are they not? If you look at the follow-up appointments in certain health boards, there is a very significant disparity between performance. In Abertawe Bro Morgannwg, there were 5,000 people waiting twice as long as they should do for follow-up appointments - that's four times as many as two years before. In Cardiff and Vale, 10,000 people are waiting twice as long as they need for eye appointments. That's four times the position two years ago. This is something that calls for the most urgent action possible from the health Secretary, and perhaps he could tell us what, in practical terms, he's now going to do to sort the problem out.
Welsh: Wel, gwell hwyr na hwyrach, rwy'n sicr yn cydnabod hynny, ond mae llawer i'w wneud o hyd. Bydd y Gweinidog yn gwybod bod gan y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus ddiddordeb yn y maes hwn, ac yn ddiweddar, cawsom dystiolaeth gan fwrdd iechyd Aneurin Bevan, a dynnodd sylw at yr angen i wella ei berfformiad cyfredol o 62 y cant o gleifion risg 1 yn cael eu gweld erbyn y dyddiad targed, neu o fewn 25 y cant i'r dyddiad targed. Diffinnir risg 1 gan y Sefydliad Cenedlaethol Brenhinol Pobl Ddall fel risg o niwed diwrthdro neu ganlyniad niweidiol sylweddol i'r claf os na ellir eu trin erbyn y dyddiad targed. Onid yw'r oedi hwn yn gwbl annerbyniol? Os edrychwch ar yr apwyntiadau dilynol mewn rhai byrddau iechyd, mae eu perfformiad yn amrywio'n sylweddol iawn. Yn Abertawe Bro Morgannwg, roedd 5,000 o bobl yn aros ddwywaith cyhyd ag y dylent am apwyntiadau dilynol - pedair gwaith cymaint â dwy flynedd ynghynt. Yng Nghaerdydd a'r Fro, mae 10,000 o bobl yn aros ddwywaith cyhyd ag y mae angen am apwyntiadau llygaid. Mae hynny bedair gwaith cymaint â'r sefyllfa ddwy flynedd yn ôl. Mae hyn yn rhywbeth sy'n galw am weithredu ar fyrder mor gyflym â phosibl gan yr Ysgrifennydd iechyd, ac efallai y gall ddweud wrthym beth, yn ymarferol, y mae'n mynd i'w wneud i ddatrys y broblem.
English: Well, the new measures themselves are not simply an answer in themselves. They are actually about how we organise and run the whole system. It's about actually ensuring that we're able to transfer care into community-based services wherever possible, and actually Aneurin Bevan have been leading on a range of that work, to provide greater time and capacity within hospital-based services for people who need to be seen by a hospital-based clinician. So, it's about re-engineering our whole system. And actually if you talk to people within the service, and if you talk to people across the system within the United Kingdom, they recognise that we're doing the right things here in Wales and there is a challenge about how other parts of the UK catch up with what we're doing, both in local treatment within the community as well as more priority for the right people to be seen more quickly within a hospital system. That means different measures that accurately reflect what matters to the person and what should matter to all of us to make sure that the right care is provided at the right time and in the right place.
Welsh: Wel, nid yw'r mesurau newydd yn ateb ynddynt eu hunain. Mewn gwirionedd, maent yn ymwneud â sut y trefnwn ac y gweithredwn y system gyfan. Mae'n ymwneud â sicrhau y gallwn drosglwyddo gofal i wasanaethau yn y gymuned lle bo modd, ac mewn gwirionedd, mae Aneurin Bevan wedi bod yn arwain ar lawer o'r gwaith hwnnw, i ddarparu mwy o amser a chapasiti o fewn gwasanaethau ysbyty i bobl sydd angen gweld clinigydd mewn ysbyty. Felly, mae a wnelo ag ailbeiriannu ein system gyfan. Ac mewn gwirionedd, os siaradwch â phobl yn y gwasanaeth, ac os siaradwch â phobl ar draws y system yn y Deyrnas Unedig, maent yn cydnabod ein bod yn gwneud y pethau iawn yma yng Nghymru a bod her i'w chael ynglŷn â sut y mae rhannau eraill o'r DU yn dal i fyny â'r hyn rydym ni'n ei wneud, o ran triniaeth leol yn y gymuned yn ogystal â mwy o flaenoriaeth i'r bobl iawn gael eu gweld yn gyflymach o fewn system ysbyty. Golyga hynny wahanol fesurau sy'n adlewyrchu'n gywir yr hyn sy'n bwysig i'r unigolyn, yn ogystal â beth ddylai fod yn bwysig i bob un ohonom, er mwyn sicrhau y darperir y gofal iawn ar yr adeg iawn ac yn y lle iawn.
English: Yes. We want to see sustainable and accessible GP services across Wales. GP practices are using components of the primary care model to improve the way they provide services to patients, including, of course, within north Wales.
Welsh: Gwnaf. Rydym am weld gwasanaethau meddygon teulu cynaliadwy a hygyrch ledled Cymru. Mae practisau meddygon teulu yn defnyddio elfennau o'r model gofal sylfaenol i wella'r ffordd y maent yn darparu gwasanaethau i gleifion, gan gynnwys, wrth gwrs, yng ngogledd Cymru.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister. GP services are suffering. My constituents report waiting weeks for a routine appointment and just not being able to get through on the phone, sometimes needing to try up to 50 times and then giving up. Many say that they are losing confidence and faith in the health service. We've already heard that recent changes to the funding available for the indemnity scheme seem to be a step too far for many of those GPs. Minister, your very first ministerial responsibility is oversight of NHS delivery and performance. Are you doing your job properly?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Mae gwasanaethau meddygon teulu yn dioddef. Dywed fy etholwyr eu bod yn aros wythnosau am apwyntiad arferol ac yn methu cael ateb dros y ffôn, gan ddweud, mewn ambell i achos, eu bod yn rhoi cynnig arni hyd at 50 o weithiau ac yna'n rhoi'r gorau iddi. Dywed llawer eu bod yn colli hyder a ffydd yn y gwasanaeth iechyd. Rydym eisoes wedi clywed bod newidiadau diweddar i'r cyllid sydd ar gael ar gyfer y cynllun indemniad, yn ôl pob golwg, gam yn rhy bell i lawer o'r meddygon teulu hynny. Weinidog, eich cyfrifoldeb gweinidogol cyntaf yw goruchwylio darpariaeth a pherfformiad y GIG. A ydych yn gwneud eich gwaith yn iawn?
English: Of course, because of the shortage of GPs in north Wales, more and more surgeries have been coming under direct management by the Betsi Cadwaladr health board. Can I ask whether Welsh Government has carried out any analysis or any sort of study comparing services provided by those surgeries as compared to the more traditional practice model?
Welsh: Wrth gwrs, oherwydd y diffyg mewn niferoedd meddygon teulu yn y gogledd, mae mwy a mwy o feddygfeydd wedi bod yn mynd i mewn i reolaeth uniongyrchol gan fwrdd iechyd Betsi Cadwaladr. Felly, gaf i ofyn a ydy Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gwneud unrhyw ddadansoddiad neu unrhyw astudiaeth yn cymharu gwasanaethau gan y meddygfeydd hynny o'u cymharu, wrth gwrs, â'r model o bractisys mwy traddodiadol?
English: Yes, there's quite a lot of information available about the relative cost of independent contractors or managed practices, but it's also about our ability to attract and retain people to work in those services, not just GPs, but other clinical staff as well. So, we do have a range of those practices that have come in to be managed by Betsi Cadwaladr, and they've all managed to maintain a service for the local public, but my ambition is to have a more stable model for local healthcare to be delivered. That's why we talk about clusters coming together; we think we're going to see more co-working between those different practices. Those may be formal mergers; they may be federations. But, actually, to have that stability, whether doctors choose to work as an employed doctor employed by other doctors, or whether they wish to become partners - and we ought to incentivise people to become partners in general practice - and then to make sure they have a proper multidisciplinary team, that is more and more what we are going to deliver in local healthcare. If the Member wants further detail, I'd be happy to discuss outside the Chamber in correspondence.
Welsh: Oes, mae llawer o wybodaeth ar gael am gost gymharol contractwyr annibynnol neu bractisau a reolir, ond mae a wnelo hefyd â'n gallu i ddenu pobl i weithio yn y gwasanaethau hynny a'u cadw, nid meddygon teulu yn unig, ond staff clinigol eraill hefyd. Felly, mae amryw o'r practisau hynny wedi dod i gael eu rheoli gan Betsi Cadwaladr, ac mae pob un ohonynt wedi llwyddo i gynnal gwasanaeth ar gyfer y cyhoedd yn lleol, ond fy uchelgais yw sicrhau model mwy sefydlog ar gyfer darparu gofal iechyd lleol. Dyna pam y soniwn am glystyrau'n dod at ei gilydd; credwn y byddwn yn gweld mwy o gydweithio rhwng y gwahanol bractisau hynny. Gallant fod yn uniadau ffurfiol; gallant fod yn ffederasiynau. Ond mewn gwirionedd, mae sicrhau'r sefydlogrwydd hwnnw, p'un a yw meddyg yn dewis gweithio fel meddyg cyflogedig a gyflogir gan feddygon eraill, neu p'un a ydynt am ddod yn bartneriaid - a dylem gymell pobl i ddod yn bartneriaid mewn practisau cyffredinol - ac yna i sicrhau bod ganddynt dîm amlddisgyblaethol priodol, yn gynyddol, dyna fyddwn yn ei gyflawni mewn gofal iechyd lleol. Os yw'r Aelod yn dymuno cael rhagor o fanylion, rwy'n fwy na pharod i drafod mewn gohebiaeth y tu allan i'r Siambr.
English: Yes. Whilst the health board has improved its 36-week position by 3 per cent between February last year and this year, I am disappointed with the number of people who are still waiting too long. I have made my expectations clear for the health board, and I expect to see further improvements in waiting times before the end of this year and into the next. To help that, the Welsh Government has provided additional funding to help achieve that improvement in performance.
Welsh: Gwnaf. Er bod y bwrdd iechyd wedi gwella ei berfformiad 36 wythnos 3 y cant rhwng mis Chwefror y llynedd ac eleni, rwy'n siomedig ynglŷn â nifer y bobl sy'n dal i aros yn rhy hir. Rwyf wedi datgan fy nisgwyliadau yn glir i'r bwrdd iechyd, ac rwy'n disgwyl gweld gwelliannau pellach o ran amseroedd aros cyn diwedd eleni ac i mewn i'r flwyddyn nesaf. Er mwyn cynorthwyo hynny, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi darparu cyllid ychwanegol i helpu i gyflawni'r gwelliant hwnnw yn y perfformiad.
