English: Can I thank the Minister for her statement this afternoon, and say that the number of people in hospital with coronavirus is at its lowest level since the start of the pandemic? And as the Minister pointed out as well, we've seen that 10-day period where we've seen no deaths at all recorded from the virus apart from, sadly, that one death yesterday reported by Public Health Wales. I think these are huge achievements. I agree with the Minister that this is down to the hard work of people throughout Wales and the fabulous health professionals as well. And further positive news, I think, also, that we'll potentially see 100 per cent of the adult population in Wales having been offered a vaccination appointment by Monday. The UK Government's Secretary of State for Health's statement yesterday pointed out that just 2 per cent of people who had been hospitalised in England had received two doses of the COVID vaccination. That's just three people. So, I'll just break that down, that data, to help with the context of my next questions. Data up to 3 June showed that, out of 12,383 cases in England of the delta variant, 126 people were admitted to hospital, and of those 126 people, just three people had received two doses of the vaccine. So, I'm sure that the Minister will agree that this is positive data and that gives us optimism, I think, in that regard. In that context, Minister, have you investigated yourself that same data for Wales, or has Public Health Wales investigated that? How many people have been hospitalised as a result of having the delta variant? Of those people, how many people have had two doses? This is important information in the context of either relaxing restrictions or increasing restrictions, as appropriate. So, I would be grateful for any information on that, Minister. Perhaps you could expand a bit more on your assessment in regards to whether we will require further restrictions over the summer months or, indeed, whether you can relax further restrictions. To have any further outline of that today would also be helpful. I also note from your comments yesterday, Minister, that the questions on the delta variant would be on how big the third wave will be. I would suggest that, perhaps, the question is surely how severe the next wave will be. So, I would appreciate your thoughts on that. In Wales, we have seen 123 hospitalisations on 3 and 4 June. That's, of course, the lowest that we've seen since the beginning of the pandemic. Are you more confident that a third wave, while it may be bigger, won't be as severe as the first wave? You talked yesterday in your comments about the flow of the variant from England into Wales. In that context, perhaps you could also talk about whether you are considering any further travel bans from certain local authority areas elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Your statement today referred to your plans for £100 million of investment to kick start the healthcare system. I think that that's very welcome as well. We are at a point where the Welsh NHS is starting to resume its services to tackle the massive backlog in treatment, although it is still staggering to think that one in three patient pathways are waiting over a year for treatment in Wales. That compares to one in 11 in England. So, we've got a challenge to start from. But, I do welcome that announcement of £100 million for technological advances to help reduce the backlog. I am concerned about the growing anxiety from professionals. They are saying that there simply aren't enough staff to cope. For example, in Wales, we were already facing a severe shortage of cancer specialists before COVID-19, with clinical radiology gaps of above 40 per cent in west and north Wales. We already had fewer numbers of clinical radiologists in the UK per 100,000. The point I am making here is that it's welcome news that we've got that investment, but surely there is a concern if we don't have the staff and health professionals to operate that new technology. So, as part of your new priorities, what efforts are you making to ensure that the NHS will have a sufficient workforce to cope with the backlogs? What frameworks will you be using as part of the workforce strategy to recruit and retain medical professionals? Also, what measures are you immediately carrying forward from the COVID recovery framework to support NHS and primary care workforces to ensure that they do not face burnout - another significant issue as well? How will you be strengthening existing well-being support available to the workforce, as outlined in the framework, and is support already being targeted in the short term? Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei datganiad y prynhawn yma, a dweud bod nifer y bobl yn yr ysbyty sydd â'r coronafeirws ar ei lefel isaf ers dechrau'r pandemig? Ac fel y nododd y Gweinidog hefyd, rydym wedi gweld y cyfnod hwnnw o 10 diwrnod pan na chafwyd unrhyw farwolaethau o gwbl yn cael eu cofnodi oherwydd y feirws ar wahân i'r un farwolaeth yr adroddwyd amdani ddoe gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, gwaetha'r modd. Rwy'n credu bod y rhain yn gyflawniadau aruthrol. Rwy'n cytuno â'r Gweinidog mai gwaith caled pobl ledled Cymru yn ogystal â'r gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol rhagorol sydd wedi cyflawni hyn. A newyddion cadarnhaol eto, yn fy marn i hefyd, yw y byddwn ni o bosibl yn gweld 100 y cant o'r boblogaeth oedolion yng Nghymru wedi cael cynnig apwyntiad ar gyfer eu brechu erbyn dydd Llun. Fe nododd datganiad Ysgrifennydd Iechyd Gwladol Llywodraeth y DU ddoe mai dim ond 2 y cant o gleifion COVID mewn ysbytai yn Lloegr oedd wedi cael dau ddos o'r brechlyn. Tri o unigolion yn unig yw hynny. Felly, rwyf i am dorri hynny i lawr, y data hynny, i helpu gyda chyd-destun fy nghwestiwn nesaf i. Roedd data hyd at 3 Mehefin yn dangos, o'r 12,383 o achosion yn Lloegr o'r amrywiolyn delta, fod yna 126 o bobl wedi gorfod cael triniaeth ysbyty, ac o'r 126 o bobl hyn, dim ond tri oedd wedi cael dau ddos o'r brechlyn. Felly, rwy'n siŵr y bydd y Gweinidog yn cytuno mai data cadarnhaol iawn yw'r rhain ac mae hynny'n rhoi optimistiaeth inni, rwy'n credu, yn hyn o beth. Yn y cyd-destun hwn, Gweinidog, a ydych chi wedi ymchwilio i'r un data ar gyfer Cymru, neu a yw Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru wedi ymchwilio i hynny? Faint o bobl sydd wedi bod mewn ysbyty o ganlyniad i gael amrywiolyn delta? O'r bobl hynny, faint o bobl sydd wedi cael dau ddos? Mae hwn yn ddarn pwysig o wybodaeth yng nghyd-destun naill ai lacio cyfyngiadau neu gryfhau cyfyngiadau, fel bo hynny'n addas. Felly, fe fyddwn i'n ddiolchgar am unrhyw wybodaeth ynglŷn â hynny, Gweinidog. Efallai y gwnewch chi ymhelaethu ychydig mwy ar eich asesiad chi o ran a fydd angen cyfyngiadau pellach arnom dros fisoedd yr haf neu, yn wir, a fyddwch chi'n llacio cyfyngiadau ymhellach. Fe fyddai cael unrhyw amlinelliad pellach o hynny yn fuddiol iawn heddiw. Rwy'n sylwi hefyd o'ch sylwadau chi ddoe, Gweinidog, y byddai'r cwestiynau am yr amrywiolyn delta yn ymwneud â pha mor fawr fydd y drydedd don. Fe fyddwn i'n awgrymu, efallai, mai'r cwestiwn yw pa mor ddifrifol fydd y don nesaf. Felly, fe fyddwn i'n gwerthfawrogi eich barn chi am hynny. Yng Nghymru, rydym wedi gweld 123 o bobl mewn ysbytai ar 3 a 4 Mehefin. Dyma'r gyfradd isaf, wrth gwrs, a welsom ni ers dechrau'r pandemig. A ydych chi'n fwy hyderus nawr na fydd y drydedd don, er yn fwy, mor ddifrifol â'r don gyntaf? Roeddech chi'n sôn ddoe yn eich sylwadau am yr amrywiolyn yn ymledu o Loegr i Gymru. Yn y cyd-destun hwn, efallai y gallech ddweud hefyd a ydych chi'n ystyried unrhyw waharddiadau pellach o ran teithio o rai ardaloedd awdurdodau lleol mewn mannau eraill yn y Deyrnas Unedig. Roedd eich datganiad heddiw yn cyfeirio at eich cynlluniau chi ar gyfer £100 miliwn o fuddsoddiad i roi hwb i'r system gofal iechyd. Rwy'n credu bod hynny i'w groesawu yn fawr hefyd. Rydym mewn sefyllfa lle mae GIG Cymru yn dechrau ailgychwyn ei wasanaethau i fynd i'r afael â'r ôl-groniadau enfawr sydd wedi bod o ran aros am driniaethau, er ei bod yn syfrdanol meddwl o hyd bod un o bob tri llwybr i gleifion yn aros dros flwyddyn am driniaeth yng Nghymru. Mae hynny'n cymharu ag un o bob 11 yn Lloegr. Felly, mae ein man cychwyn ni'n un heriol. Ond, rwyf i yn croesawu'r cyhoeddiad hwn o £100 miliwn ar gyfer datblygiadau technolegol i helpu i leihau'r ôl-groniad sydd wedi digwydd. Rwy'n pryderu am ofid cynyddol ymysg gweithwyr proffesiynol. Maen nhw'n dweud nad oes yna ddigon o staff i ymdopi â'r gwaith. Er enghraifft, yng Nghymru, roeddem ni'n wynebu prinder difrifol eisoes o arbenigwyr canser cyn COVID-19, gyda bylchau mewn radioleg glinigol o fwy na 40 y cant yn y gorllewin a'r gogledd. Roedd gennym lai o radiolegwyr clinigol eisoes yn y DU fesul 100,000. Y pwynt rwy'n ei wneud yma yw mai newyddion da yw bod gennym y buddsoddiad hwn ond mae'n siŵr fod yna ofid ynglŷn â diffyg staff a gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol i ddefnyddio'r dechnoleg newydd hon. Felly, yn rhan o'ch blaenoriaethau newydd chi, pa ymdrechion a wnewch i sicrhau y bydd gan y GIG weithlu digonol i ymdopi â'r ôl-groniadau? Pa fframweithiau y byddwch chi'n eu defnyddio fel rhan o strategaeth y gweithlu i recriwtio a chadw gweithwyr meddygol proffesiynol? Hefyd, pa fesurau yr ydych chi'n eu trosglwyddo ymlaen ar unwaith o'r fframwaith ar gyfer adferiad o'r COVID i gefnogi gweithluoedd y GIG a gofal sylfaenol i sicrhau nad ydyn nhw'n wynebu lludded - sy'n fater pwysig arall hefyd? Sut ydych chi am gryfhau'r cymorth llesiant presennol sydd ar gael i'r gweithlu, fel yr amlinellir yn y fframwaith, ac a yw'r cymorth yn cael ei anelu yn y tymor byr eisoes? Diolch yn fawr.
