English: Diolch, Llywydd. It's a real pleasure to close this debate this afternoon because we've heard real cross-party support for something that I believe is distinctly Welsh. The Welsh people take great pride in having somewhat of an ownership within a charity that affects and can affect and can influence everybody's lives in all four corners of this great country. In opening the debate, Russell spoke about that Welshness and how it was launched on St David's Day 2001. We heard then about the complexities that existed following the announcement back in August from EMRTS and the Wales air ambulance, and he provided us a helpful timeline in terms of that. The notes I made make for difficult reading, so that is the complexity of that - for a layman trying to understand who the responsibility lay with it must be incredibly difficult. Pertinent to Russell in mid Wales, obviously, is the potential closure of the Welshpool base. I think Russell added on to that the confusion after he brought questions to this Chamber around the data, the ownership and the responsibility of that. I think that's something really pertinent. But Russell provided us with a very helpful overview of the situation as it has been over the last couple of months in allowing us to visualise why this debate is so important to us here today. Rhun then, following Russell, provided that cross-party support and mentioned the Bull in terms of the fundraising element. Yesterday, we heard from Darren with regard to Wetherspoons, the Bull from Rhun today - [ Interruption.] A proper pub - and the £50,000 raised in that fundraising effort. I myself, as a member of Pembrokeshire young farmers, cycled up to Blackpool raising money for the Wales air ambulance. It's one of those charities that, wherever you are, in all parts of Wales, you feel that you've raised money, and that's where that ownership of this charity comes from and why that is so important. Rhun stressed the importance of rural Wales and how difficult it is to access that emergency healthcare when it's required across rural Wales. What Rhun really stressed there as well was how this is an important recruitment tool to areas of Wales where there are these depots - Minister, you mentioned that as well. I think that's really important. When there are difficulties in recruitment in the NHS in Wales, having something of this quality in those four regions of Wales I think is a real tool that we should be singing and dancing about, rather than looking at consolidation and centralisation into one area. Moving on, we heard then from James, a colleague of Russell's in mid Wales, and the importance around the Welshpool depot - again, the rurality, the difference of healthcare provision in urban and rural settings, and the longer flight times, potentially, from north Wales. Again, he stressed the no district general hospital in Powys - that's why we need that air ambulance - and the importance of the Save Wales Air Ambulance campaign. He spoke eloquently about the local support that he'd had from members in his constituency.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Mae'n bleser mawr cael cau'r ddadl hon y prynhawn yma oherwydd fe glywsom gefnogaeth drawsbleidiol go iawn i rywbeth y credaf ei fod yn unigryw Gymreig. Mae'r Cymry'n ymfalchïo'n fawr yn y ffaith bod gennym berchnogaeth ar elusen sy'n effeithio ac sy'n gallu effeithio a dylanwadu ar fywydau pawb ym mhob cwr o'r wlad wych hon. Wrth agor y ddadl, siaradodd Russell am y Cymreictod a sut y cafodd ei lansio ar ddydd Gŵyl Dewi 2001. Clywsom bryd hynny am y cymhlethdodau a fodolai yn dilyn y cyhoeddiad nôl ym mis Awst gan EMRTS ac ambiwlans awyr Cymru, ac fe roddodd linell amser ddefnyddiol i ni ar gyfer hynny. Mae'r nodiadau a wneuthum yn anodd eu darllen, sy'n dangos pa mor gymhleth yw hynny - rhaid ei bod yn anodd tu hwnt i leygwr geisio deall pwy oedd â'r cyfrifoldeb. Mae'r posibilrwydd y gallai canolfan y Trallwng yng nghanolbarth Cymru gau yn berthnasol i Russell wrth gwrs. Rwy'n credu bod Russell wedi ychwanegu at y dryswch ar ôl iddo ofyn cwestiynau yn y Siambr hon ynghylch y data, y berchnogaeth a'r cyfrifoldeb. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n rhywbeth pwysig iawn. Ond rhoddodd Russell drosolwg defnyddiol iawn i ni o'r sefyllfa fel y bu dros y misoedd diwethaf a chaniatáu i ni weld pam fod y ddadl hon mor bwysig i ni yma heddiw. Rhoddodd Rhun wedyn, i ddilyn Russell, gefnogaeth drawsbleidiol a soniodd am y Bull a'r elfen godi arian. Ddoe, clywsom gan Darren ynglŷn â Wetherspoons, y Bull gan Rhun heddiw - [ Torri ar draws.] Tafarn go iawn - a'r £50,000 a godwyd yn yr ymdrech godi arian honno. Fe wneuthum innau, fel aelod o ffermwyr ifanc sir Benfro, feicio i Blackpool i godi arian ar gyfer ambiwlans awyr Cymru. Mae'n un o'r elusennau hynny, ble bynnag y byddwch chi, ym mhob rhan o Gymru, lle rydych chi'n teimlo eich bod wedi codi arian, ac o hynny y deillia'r berchnogaeth ar yr elusen hon a pham fod hynny mor bwysig. Pwysleisiodd Rhun bwysigrwydd cefn gwlad Cymru a pha mor anodd yw cael mynediad at ofal iechyd brys pan fo'i angen ar draws cefn gwlad Cymru. Pwysleisiodd Rhun hefyd y ffordd roedd yn arf recriwtio pwysig i ardaloedd yng Nghymru lle ceir y canolfannau hyn - Weinidog, fe wnaethoch chi sôn am hynny hefyd. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n bwysig iawn. Pan fydd anawsterau recriwtio yn y GIG yng Nghymru, mae cael rhywbeth o'r ansawdd hwn yn y pedwar rhanbarth yng Nghymru yn arf go iawn y dylem ei hyrwyddo i'r eithaf, yn hytrach nag edrych ar gyfuno a chanoli mewn un ardal. Gan symud ymlaen, clywsom wedyn gan James, un o gyd-Aelodau Russell yng nghanolbarth Cymru, a phwysigrwydd canolfan y Trallwng - unwaith eto, y natur wledig, y gwahaniaeth rhwng lleoliadau trefol a gwledig o ran y ddarpariaeth gofal iechyd, a'r amseroedd hedfan hwy, o bosibl, o ogledd Cymru. Unwaith eto, pwysleisiodd nad oedd unrhyw ysbyty cyffredinol dosbarth ym Mhowys - dyna pam fod angen yr ambiwlans awyr - a phwysigrwydd ymgyrch Achub Ambiwlans Awyr Cymru. Siaradodd yn huawdl am y gefnogaeth leol a gafodd gan aelodau o'i etholaeth.
