English: I simply don't agree with the opening statement that the Member makes that this reads like any one of the statements in the last five and a half years. There have been various points in time where statements over the last five and half years have been much more downbeat about where we have been. The fact is that, at various points in time, maternity and out-of-hours have come out, which shows that this has been progress over time. We've also had challenges over financial management and performance over this time, so it just simply isn't the case that we're taking a statement off the peg. And it really doesn't reflect the tripartite escalation statement that was introduced, where the external views of HIW and the Wales Audit Office were taken account of, and their assessment is that the health board has made real and definable progress. I simply don't agree with the Member on his plan to break up the health service in north Wales. I think that over the next term, to say that a health board that has dealt well with the COVID pandemic would then need to turn in on itself to consider how it would reallocate different jobs and services would be entirely the wrong thing to do. But the Member is entitled to his view and people will decide what vision they want for healthcare in north Wales and the rest of the country. On the point about the time limit and whether there's a fundamental error in the baseline, in answer to Darren Millar's questions I indicated that we have already reviewed the allocation formula. The Member should be aware of that, following his participation in the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee. I'm happy to circulate another note to that committee to confirm where we are with the allocation formula, if that's helpful to provide clarity. And in terms of the time limit, we took a similar approach in Hywel Dda, in Powys, indeed, before, but also with Cardiff and Vale and, indeed, Swansea Bay health board, where we provided moneys for a limited period of time to help deliver improvement. That 'something for something' approach has worked well in those areas, and so I don't think it's a mistake to provide a time limit indication for the length of time this strategic support will be available for. On the medical school, I think that the fact that we're able to take this forward, the fact that we had a much more worked through and credible proposal that was worked up between Bangor University in particular and the health board, but also with the buy-in and support from other significant partners in north Wales, is a real demonstration of the improvement in partnership working. It would not have been that long ago that you would not have expected north Wales partners to have come together to deliver a genuine north Wales plan with whole north Wales buy-in for a significant development like this. It's a good indication of improved activity from the health board and its partners, and I believe that bodes well for the future. And, of course, I want to have a returned view from a task and finish group that will allow me to make choices within this Senedd term, so we can actually provide some sort of plan for the future, but I will need to see what the recommendations of that task and finish group are. And, of course, I have already announced that, Deputy Presiding Officer, in a previous written statement.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn cytuno â'r datganiad agoriadol y mae'r Aelod yn ei wneud bod hyn yn ymdebygu i unrhyw un o'r datganiadau eraill a wnaed yn ystod y pum mlynedd a hanner diwethaf. Bu amryw o adegau pryd y bu datganiadau dros y pum mlynedd a hanner diwethaf yn llawer mwy digalon ynghylch ein sefyllfa. Y gwir amdani yw bod mamolaeth a'r gwasanaeth y tu allan i oriau wedi dod allan o fesurau arbennig ar wahanol adegau, sy'n dangos y bu hyn yn gynnydd dros amser. Rydym ni hefyd wedi gweld heriau o ran rheolaeth ariannol a pherfformiad dros y cyfnod hwn, felly nid yw'n wir ein bod yn tynnu datganiad oddi ar y silff. Ac nid yw'n adlewyrchu'r datganiad uwchgyfeirio teirochrog a gyflwynwyd mewn gwirionedd, lle cafodd safbwyntiau allanol AGIC a Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru eu hystyried, a'u hasesiad yw bod y bwrdd iechyd wedi gwneud cynnydd gwirioneddol a diffiniadwy. Nid wyf yn cytuno â'r Aelod ynglŷn â'i gynllun i ddarnio'r gwasanaeth iechyd yn y gogledd. Credaf, dros y tymor nesaf, y byddai hi'n gwbl anghywir dweud bod angen i fwrdd iechyd sydd wedi ymdrin yn dda â'r pandemig COVID graffu ar ei hun i ystyried sut y byddai'n ailddyrannu gwahanol swyddi a gwasanaethau. Ond mae gan yr Aelod hawl i'w farn a bydd pobl yn penderfynu pa weledigaeth y mae arnyn nhw ei heisiau ar gyfer gofal iechyd yn y gogledd a gweddill y wlad. O ran y sylw am y terfyn amser ac a oes camgymeriad sylfaenol yn y llinell sylfaen, wrth ateb cwestiynau Darren Millar, dywedais ein bod ni eisoes wedi adolygu'r fformiwla ddyrannu. Dylai'r Aelod fod yn ymwybodol o hynny, ar ôl iddo gymryd rhan yn y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon. Rwy'n hapus i ddosbarthu nodyn arall i'r pwyllgor hwnnw i gadarnhau ble yr ydym ni arni gyda'r fformiwla ddyrannu, os yw hynny'n ddefnyddiol i roi eglurder. Ac o ran y terfyn amser, aethom ati mewn ffordd debyg yn Hywel Dda ym Mhowys o'r blaen, ond hefyd gyda Chaerdydd a'r Fro ac, yn wir, bwrdd iechyd Bae Abertawe, lle darparwyd arian gennym ni am gyfnod cyfyngedig o amser i helpu sicrhau gwelliant. Mae'r dull 'rhywbeth ar gyfer rhywbeth' hwnnw wedi gweithio'n dda yn yr ardaloedd hynny, ac felly nid wyf yn credu ei bod hi'n gamgymeriad nodi terfyn amser o ran am ba hyd y bydd y cymorth strategol hwn ar gael. O ran yr ysgol feddygol, credaf fod y ffaith y gallwn ni fwrw ymlaen â hyn, y ffaith inni gael cynnig llawer mwy credadwy ac ystyrlon rhwng Prifysgol Bangor yn arbennig a'r bwrdd iechyd, ond hefyd gyda chefnogaeth ac ymrwymiad partneriaid arwyddocaol eraill yn y gogledd, yn arwydd gwirioneddol o'r cydweithio gwell. Nid gymaint â hynny yn ôl ni fyddech wedi disgwyl y byddai partneriaid yn y gogledd wedi dod ynghyd i gyflwyno cynllun gwirioneddol yn y gogledd gyda'r ardal gyfan yn ymrwymo i ddatblygiad sylweddol fel hwn. Mae'n arwydd da o well gweithgarwch gan y bwrdd iechyd a'i bartneriaid, a chredaf fod hynny'n argoeli'n dda ar gyfer y dyfodol. Ac, wrth gwrs, fe hoffwn i glywed barn grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen a fydd yn caniatáu imi wneud dewisiadau yn nhymor y Senedd hon, felly gallwn ddarparu rhyw fath o gynllun ar gyfer y dyfodol, ond bydd angen imi weld beth yw argymhellion y grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen hwnnw. Ac, wrth gwrs, rwyf eisoes wedi cyhoeddi hynny, Dirprwy Lywydd, mewn datganiad ysgrifenedig blaenorol.
