English: Cabinet Secretary, thank you very much indeed for bringing forward this statement today. It's very welcome, and I would like to also pay tribute to the campaigners who've worked so hard to bring this inquiry about, and particularly Haemophilia Wales and the cross-party group led by Julie Morgan. I just have a couple of questions that I'd like to ask you on the back of this statement, because it obviously builds on the topical question that we had last year. I'm so pleased about the Wales infected blood support scheme and what the staff who work for that scheme are able to provide. You may recall that, last year, one of the questions I asked was what support we'll be able to give those who wish to give evidence to the inquiry - will you be able to widen their remit so that WIBSS are also able to support those who go to them in going forward to the inquiry? Because I'm sure that, actually, just the whole business of giving evidence to an inquiry, even though it may be on our home turf here, is going to be quite traumatic and bring up all sorts of dreadful memories. So, I just wondered if they'll be the ones who'll be able to provide that support. In our joint letter of 19 July 2017 to Jeremy Hunt, a letter that you orchestrated, Cabinet Secretary, we asked what steps would be put in place to ensure that NHS Wales, NHS England and the NHS across the UK will co-operate fully with the inquiry. I just wondered if you'd be able to give us an update on what steps we can take here in Wales to ensure that NHS Wales co-operates in every conceivable way in terms of giving evidence, finding any paper trails that may be in existence, et cetera. I know that Mr Justice Langstaff has only recently been appointed, but are you able to say whether or not he will have the power within this inquiry to compel witnesses to come forward to ensure that there is full disclosure of documentation? My final point is one that you've raised yourself about it being a timely inquiry. You'll be aware that the Lord Morris of Manchester inquiry took over two years, and I just wonder if you might be able to expand on what would you think is a reasonable length of time, especially as this whole scandal, one of the worst scandals the NHS has ever seen, is over 30 years old, and those affected cannot wait endlessly for time to pass for the justice they so desperately require.
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, diolch yn fawr iawn am gyflwyno'r datganiad hwn heddiw. Mae croeso mawr iddo, a hoffwn hefyd dalu teyrnged i'r ymgyrchwyr sydd wedi gweithio mor galed i ddod â'r ymchwiliad hwn i fod, ac yn enwedig Hemoffilia Cymru a'r grŵp trawsbleidiol a arweinir gan Julie Morgan. Mae gennyf gwpl o gwestiynau yr hoffwn i eu gofyn ichi ar ôl y datganiad hwn, oherwydd yn amlwg mae'n adeiladu ar y cwestiwn amserol a gawsom y llynedd. Rwyf mor falch o gynllun cymorth gwaed wedi'i heintio Cymru a'r hyn y mae'r staff sy'n gweithio i'r cynllun hwnnw'n gallu ei ddarparu. Efallai y cofiwch chi mai un o'r cwestiynau a ofynnais y llynedd oedd pa gymorth y byddwn ni'n gallu ei roi i bobl sy'n dymuno rhoi tystiolaeth i'r ymchwiliad - a fyddwch chi'n gallu ehangu eu cylch gwaith fel y bydd WIBSS hefyd yn gallu cefnogi'r bobl sy'n mynd atynt i fynd ymlaen i'r ymchwiliad hefyd? Oherwydd rwy'n siŵr, a dweud y gwir, bod yr holl fater o roi tystiolaeth i ymchwiliad, hyd yn oed os bydd hynny ar ein tir ni yma, yn mynd i fod yn eithaf trawmatig a chodi pob math o atgofion ofnadwy. Felly, tybed ai nhw fydd yn gallu darparu'r cymorth hwnnw? Yn ein llythyr ar y cyd at Jeremy Hunt ar 19 Gorffennaf 2017, llythyr o dan eich arweiniad chi, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, gwnaethom ofyn pa gamau y byddai'n eu rhoi ar waith i sicrhau y bydd GIG Cymru, y GIG yn Lloegr a'r GIG ledled y DU yn cydweithredu'n llawn gyda'r ymchwiliad. Tybed a fyddech chi'n gallu rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf inni am unrhyw gamau y gallwn ni eu cymryd yma yng Nghymru i sicrhau bod GIG Cymru yn cydweithredu ym mhob ffordd bosibl o ran rhoi tystiolaeth, dod o hyd i unrhyw lwybrau papur a allai fodoli, ac ati. Rwy'n gwybod mai newydd gael ei benodi y mae Mr Ustus Langstaff, ond a allwch chi ddweud a fydd ganddo bŵer ai peidio yn yr ymchwiliad hwn i orfodi tystion i ddod ymlaen i sicrhau y datgelir yr holl ddogfennau? Mae fy mhwynt olaf yn un yr ydych chi wedi ei godi eich hun ynglŷn ag amseroldeb yr ymchwiliad. Byddwch chi'n gwybod bod ymchwiliad yr Arglwydd Morris o Fanceinion wedi cymryd dros ddwy flynedd. Tybed a allech chi ehangu ar yr hyn y byddech chi'n ei ystyried yn gyfnod rhesymol o amser, yn enwedig gan fod yr holl sgandal hwn, un o'r sgandalau gwaethaf a welodd y GIG erioed, dros 30 mlwydd oed, ac na all y bobl yr effeithiwyd arnynt aros yn ddiddiwedd i amser fynd heibio cyn cael y cyfiawnder sydd ei angen mor daer arnynt.
