English: Diolch. In his response to Paul Davies yesterday, the First Minister said that, 'our GP community has to do more to match the expectations of patient populations'. But it's now over seven years since the British Medical Association Cymru and the Royal College of General Practitioners launched campaigns aimed at Assembly Members, warning of a ticking time-bomb and that 90 per cent of patient contacts are with general practice, and yet funding as the share of the NHS cake had fallen. And they've continuously relaunched those campaigns since. It's almost five years since the North Wales Local Medical Committee came to the Assembly to say we had a crisis in north Wales, warning that several practices couldn't fill vacancies and that many GPs were seriously considering retirement because of the expanding workload. Only last week, the north Wales community health council wrote to the health Minister here in response to the Welsh Government consultation on the options paper, 'NHS Wales Performers List', saying that their members were disappointed and that the difficulties in north Wales have been present and increasing for at least five years and that there's no question about if or whether the difficulties in recruitment and retention will continue. In terms of allocating funds for GP services within the NHS budget, how would you therefore respond to the final sentence of their letter last week that the Welsh Government needs to demonstrate that it is working hard to develop a robust and inventive approach to this crisis that makes the most of the freedom to innovate that is afforded to NHS Wales?
Welsh: Diolch. Yn ei ymateb i Paul Davies ddoe, dywedodd y Prif Weinidog, 'bod yn rhaid i'n cymuned meddygon teulu wneud mwy i fodloni disgwyliadau poblogaethau cleifion'. Ond aeth dros saith mlynedd heibio bellach ers i Gymdeithas Feddygol Prydain Cymru a Choleg Brenhinol yr Ymarferwyr Cyffredinol lansio ymgyrchoedd wedi'u hanelu at Aelodau'r Cynulliad yn rhybuddio am y bom sy'n tician, a bod 90 y cant o gysylltiadau cleifion yn digwydd gyda meddygon teulu, ac eto mae'r cyllid fel cyfran o gacen y GIG wedi gostwng. Ac maent wedi ail-lansio'r ymgyrchoedd hynny'n gyson ers hynny. Mae bron i bum mlynedd ers i Bwyllgor Meddygol Lleol gogledd Cymru ddod i'r Cynulliad i ddweud ein bod yn wynebu argyfwng yng ngogledd Cymru, gan rybuddio na allai nifer o bractisau lenwi eu swyddi gwag a bod llawer o feddygon teulu o ddifrif yn ystyried ymddeol oherwydd y llwyth gwaith cynyddol. Yr wythnos diwethaf, ysgrifennodd cyngor iechyd cymuned gogledd Cymru at y Gweinidog iechyd yma mewn ymateb i ymgynghoriad Llywodraeth Cymru ar y papur opsiynau, 'Rhestr Perfformwyr GIG Cymru', gan ddweud bod eu haelodau'n siomedig a bod yr anawsterau yng ngogledd Cymru wedi bod yn bresennol ac yn cynyddu ers o leiaf bum mlynedd ac nid oes amheuaeth ynglŷn ag a fydd yr anawsterau i recriwtio a chadw staff yn parhau. O ran dyrannu arian i wasanaethau meddygon teulu o fewn cyllideb y GIG, sut y byddech yn ymateb felly i frawddeg olaf eu llythyr yr wythnos diwethaf fod angen i Lywodraeth Cymru ddangos ei bod yn gweithio'n galed i ddatblygu ymagwedd gadarn a dyfeisgar tuag at yr argyfwng hwn sy'n gwneud y gorau o'r rhyddid i arloesi a roddir i GIG Cymru?
