English: I very much welcome this debate and the underpinning proposal that lies behind it. Alun, when we heard the news of what had happened to you, it did send shockwaves through and was particularly poignant to me at the time because five and a half years earlier, my wife had a cardiac arrest and didn't survive. She was on her own at the time; I gave CPR for what seemed an eternity, but I think the point is how many families are actually affected by it and the actual numbers of cardiac arrests that there are. For me, one of the issues that perhaps wasn't mentioned in it but might form part of the debate is, in fact, the need for, I think, a more proactive scanning to take place to identify some of the causes of cardiac arrest and how they occur. When one looks with hindsight at these situations, you wonder how many lives might have been saved had that been the case. In Tonyrefail, there's been a fantastic group led by PC Steve Davies, and in Tonyrefail now we have the highest density of defibrillators: there are well over 30 defibrillators around Tonyrefail and there are several lives that have been saved already by those. And that group as well has also provided training and support, with the British Heart Foundation, in schools and so on, so the issue of training is very, very important. One thing that is raised, though, that again might form part of this in respect of defibrillators is that communities come together, they raise considerable funds to provide the defibrillators - this is about communities working for one another collectively, but there is a need for some support in that, once those defibrillators are there, the batteries need replacing periodically and there may be a certain amount of maintenance and so on. And I think once you've gone to the effort of actually getting those defibrillators in place, I think there is a need for some sort of support to actually enable the maintenance of those assets as they are. So, that would be one of the key points I would like to see developed and discussed. So, just to thank Alun Davies for bringing this - I think there are probably many families around who have experienced this, and, as has been said, most that experience cardiac arrest do not survive. Hopefully, by having this debate, and potentially by using the tools and, potentially, legislation, we can actually reduce that failure rate in the future. Thank you.
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'r ddadl hon a'r cynnig sylfaenol sy'n sail iddi. Alun, pan glywsom y newyddion am yr hyn a ddigwyddodd i chi, achosodd sioc enfawr ac roedd yn arbennig o ingol i mi ar y pryd oherwydd bum mlynedd a hanner yn gynharach, cafodd fy ngwraig ataliad y galon ac fe fu farw. Roedd hi ar ei phen ei hun ar y pryd; rhoddais CPR am yr hyn a ymddangosai fel oes, ond credaf mai'r pwynt yw faint o deuluoedd y mae'n effeithio arnynt mewn gwirionedd a'r nifer wirioneddol o ataliadau'r galon sy'n digwydd. I mi, un o'r materion na soniwyd amdano efallai ond a allai fod yn rhan o'r ddadl mewn gwirionedd yw'r angen, rwy'n credu, i sganio'n fwy rhagweithiol i nodi rhai o achosion ataliad y galon a sut y mae'n digwydd. Pan edrychwch yn ôl ar y sefyllfaoedd hyn, rydych yn meddwl tybed faint o fywydau y gellid bod wedi'u hachub pe bai hynny wedi digwydd. Yn Nhonyrefail, mae grŵp gwych wedi cael ei arwain gan PC Steve Davies, ac yn Nhonyrefail bellach mae gennym y gyfradd uchaf o ddiffibrilwyr: mae ymhell dros 30 o ddiffibrilwyr o amgylch Tonyrefail ac mae sawl bywyd wedi'i achub gan y rheini eisoes. Ac mae'r grŵp hwnnw hefyd wedi darparu hyfforddiant a chymorth, gyda Sefydliad Prydeinig y Galon, mewn ysgolion ac yn y blaen, felly mae hyfforddiant yn bwysig iawn. Un peth sy'n cael sylw, serch hynny, a allai fod yn rhan o hyn eto mewn perthynas â diffibrilwyr yw bod cymunedau'n dod at ei gilydd, maent yn codi cryn dipyn o arian i ddarparu'r diffibrilwyr - mae hyn yn ymwneud â chymunedau'n gweithio ar ran ei gilydd gyda'i gilydd, ond mae angen rhywfaint o gefnogaeth i hynny, pan fydd y diffibrilwyr yno, gan fod angen newid y batris o bryd i'w gilydd a gallai fod rhywfaint o waith cynnal a chadw ac yn y blaen. Ac rwy'n meddwl pan fyddwch wedi mynd i'r drafferth o roi'r diffibrilwyr hynny yn eu lle, rwy'n credu bod angen rhyw fath o gymorth i'w gwneud hi'n bosibl cynnal a chadw'r asedau hynny fel y maent. Felly, dyna fyddai un o'r pwyntiau allweddol yr hoffwn eu gweld yn cael eu datblygu a'u trafod. Felly, diolch i Alun Davies am gyflwyno hyn - credaf fod llawer o deuluoedd o gwmpas wedi profi hyn yn ôl pob tebyg, ac fel y dywedwyd, nid yw'r rhan fwyaf sy'n profi ataliad y galon yn goroesi. Drwy gael y ddadl hon, ac o bosibl drwy ddefnyddio'r offer a deddfwriaeth efallai, gobeithio y gallwn leihau'r gyfradd fethiant honno yn y dyfodol. Diolch.
