English: Yesterday, I explained the significant interventions that are being made, and I won't rehearse those now. Significant improvements have taken place across the health board over the past seven years and the institution is fundamentally different from the one that was placed under special measures. The executive team has been renewed, including a new chief executive and medical director, among others. The way that the health board engages with staff, partners and the public does demonstrate that there is greater maturity and increasing efficiency within the board. That can now support their work in delivering the long-term strategy for clinical, integrated services and the service transformation related to that. The health board has demonstrated the ability to drive improvement that enables services to be taken out of special measures. Maternity services and out-of-hours services have achieved this progress and they are now part of a continuous improvement campaign by the board itself. We must bear in mind that over 19,000 members of staff care for the population of north Wales every day and, for the majority, the care is good, be that in a GP surgery, in out-patient clinics, in the community or in hospital. Although the institution is now under a higher level of targeted intervention, I would like to reassure the patients and communities served by the health board, and the staff who work in that health board, that services and day-to-day activities will continue as usual. However, there are significant areas of concern that must be carefully addressed by the board, and I will ensure that they are monitored.
Welsh: Ddoe, fe wnes i esbonio yr ymyriadau difrifol a sylweddol sydd yn cael eu gwneud, ac fe wnaf i ddim ailadrodd hynny eto. Mae gwelliannau sylweddol wedi bod ar draws y bwrdd iechyd dros y saith mlynedd diwethaf ac mae'r sefydliad yn un sylfaenol wahanol i'r un a gafodd ei roi dan fesurau arbennig. Mae'r tîm gweithredol wedi'i adnewyddu, gan gynnwys prif weithredwr a chyfarwyddwr meddygol newydd, ymhlith eraill. Mae'r ffordd y mae'r bwrdd iechyd yn ymgysylltu â staff, partneriaid a'r cyhoedd yn dangos bod yna fwy o aeddfedrwydd a bod yna effeithlonrwydd cynyddol. Gall hynny bellach gefnogi eu gwaith i weithredu'r strategaeth tymor hir ar gyfer gwasanaethau clinigol, integredig a thrawsnewid gwasanaethau sy'n gysylltiedig â hynny. Mae'r bwrdd iechyd wedi dangos y gallu i ysgogi gwelliant sy'n galluogi tynnu gwasanaethau allan o fesurau arbennig. Mae'r gwasanaethau mamolaeth a'r gwasanaethau tu allan i oriau wedi cyflawni'r cynnydd yma ac maen nhw bellach yn rhan o ymgyrch wella barhaus y bwrdd ei hun. Rhaid inni gofio bod dros 19,000 o aelodau staff yn gofalu am boblogaeth y gogledd bob dydd ac, i'r mwyafrif, mae'r gofal yn dda, boed hynny yn y feddygfa, mewn clinigau cleifion allanol, yn y gymuned neu yn yr ysbyty. Er bod y sefydliad bellach o dan lefel uwch o ymyrraeth wedi'i thargedu, hoffwn i sicrhau'r cleifion a'r cymunedau sy'n cael eu gwasanaethu gan y bwrdd iechyd, a'r staff sy'n gweithio ynddi, y bydd gwasanaethau a gweithgareddau o ddydd i ddydd yn parhau fel arfer. Er hynny, mae meysydd sylweddol o bryder i'r bwrdd rhoi sylw gofalus iddynt, a byddaf i'n gwneud yn siŵr eu bod nhw'n cael eu monitro.
