English: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate today. There aren't many days when I walk in and don't think of this subject, because I see my colleague from Blaenau Gwent here, who has spoken eloquently of his personal experience - traumatic experience, I would suggest - and the importance of people having knowledge, when it comes to defibrillators, means that he is here with us. There are some days when he is contributing that maybe I wish he was in the tea room rather then in here - [ Laughter.] - but it's great to see him around and walking and enjoying life. And it is good to see a smile on people's faces when that is said, because the other contributor to this debate in the previous Assembly was Suzy Davies, who led many a debate in here about the need to have, in the curriculum in particular, education around defibrillators and the use of defibrillators in the community, because there's no point in having them if you can't use them and deploy them, and I think we all agree with that point as well. I'm pleased to see that the former Government did change its stance after much lobbying from Suzy Davies to get this important point into the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Act 2021, so that there would be space within the curriculum for that education to be provided in colleges and schools the length and breadth of Wales, because, again, we hear the numbers, as Gareth in his opening remarks touched on, and 8,000 people will experience a cardiac arrest in Wales every year. Cardiac arrests kill more people than lung cancer, breast cancer and AIDS combined - combined. That's worth reflecting on. With lung cancer, breast cancer and AIDS combined, more people die of cardiac arrest here in Wales. But there is a solution: we can make these devices more readily available, and we can make sure that these devices are in every community the length and breadth of Wales. But what's important is that when we make them available they're available for 24/7 use, not just in limited occupations, such as in college settings, for example, where many colleges indicate that they have them, and that's to be welcomed, but it's not much good being in the college if the door's locked and you can't get to it when you need it. And so that's why we need more community activism to try and get more community halls, and sports settings in particular, to make sure they make use of these facilities. And that's why I've been so pleased in my role - and I'm not seeking re-election in May next year, so this isn't a pitch for the election next year; I do declare an interest - that I've had the pleasure of playing a part in raising funds for at least five defibrillators in the ward of Rhoose to make sure that from the football club to the residential setting of Rhoose Point to the village of Llantrithyd, there are now defibrillators available to those communities. And that's where it is really important. I regret that the Government have chosen to delete the one point in this motion today that actually called on action on behalf of the Government to engage with community groups to make sure money was available on a consistent and sustainable footing to make sure that we can get those numbers up that Gareth touched on. At the moment, we know there are about 4,000 defibrillators across Wales. We most probably need, if we're going to be having meaningful national coverage, double that number, and that's a big ask. But I do believe that the Government have taken a backward step in trying to seek to delete this point in the motion this afternoon, because it is a consensual motion and ultimately looks to achieve that national coverage by calling on the Government to make those national resources available. I appreciate the Government amendment talks to money that's been made available by the Government to various community groups, but clearly, there's a lot, lot more work to be done. When you look at the education responses the Welsh Conservatives have had back, in particular from local education authorities, only Denbighshire could indicate exactly what the school settings had when it came to defibrillators. The other 11 local authorities out of 12 who responded to the FOI confirmed that there is no centralised database within the education department to indicate where in schools defibrillators might or might not be. Again, that's a gaping hole in our understanding of what we can do. There's a lot of work to do, but we are making progress in this area. I hope we can find a consensus with this debate today, because as we've seen with the pandemic, regrettably it was one in ten before the pandemic who survived a cardiac arrest here in Wales, and it's now one in 20, so the numbers have gone backwards. That's no-one's fault, because of the pandemic - I accept that - but it emphasises the mountain that we've got to climb and the work we've got to do in communities across the whole of Wales to make sure that we create greater education around the use of defibrillators, and access to defibrillators, importantly. I'll repeat that line again: they need to be readily available 24/7. There's no point in ticking a box saying that defibrillator is in a locked setting that's unavailable for 12 hours of the day, or for the weekend period. Because as Alun had in his experience, he happened to be in a park; at the end of the day, he was lucky that somebody someone went past and could action what was needed to do to bring him back to life. But who knows where that might strike one of those 8,000 people in Wales who would have that cardiac episode. I call on the Government to do more, as inevitably the opposition does when it comes to debates on a Wednesday afternoon. But I do commend the Government for the work that it did in the last Assembly with Suzy Davies in making sure that there was a space in the education curriculum to allow greater educational learning so people know what to do if they're presented with that. I'm getting looked at by the Presiding Officer now, because the red line has come up, so on that note, I'll close. Thank you.
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'r cyfle i gyfrannu at y ddadl heddiw. Nid oes llawer o ddyddiau pan fyddaf yn cerdded i mewn heb fod yn meddwl am y pwnc hwn, oherwydd rwy'n gweld fy nghyd-Aelod o Flaenau Gwent yma, sydd wedi siarad yn huawdl am ei brofiad personol - profiad trawmatig, ddywedwn i - ac mae pwysigrwydd rhoi gwybodaeth i bobl am ddiffibrilwyr yn golygu ei fod yma gyda ni. Ar rai dyddiau pan fydd yn cyfrannu, efallai y byddai'n well gennyf pe bai yn yr ystafell de yn hytrach na'r fan hon - [ Chwerthin.] - ond mae'n wych ei weld o gwmpas ac yn cerdded ac yn mwynhau bywyd. Ac mae'n dda gweld gwên ar wynebau pobl pan fydd hynny'n cael ei ddweud, oherwydd y cyfrannwr arall i'r ddadl hon yn y Cynulliad blaenorol oedd Suzy Davies, a arweiniodd sawl dadl yma ar yr angen, yn y cwricwlwm yn benodol, i gael addysg ar ddiffibrilwyr a'r defnydd o ddiffibrilwyr yn y gymuned, oherwydd nid oes diben eu cael os na allwch eu defnyddio, a chredaf ein bod i gyd yn cytuno â'r pwynt hwnnw hefyd. Rwy'n falch o weld bod y Llywodraeth flaenorol wedi newid ei safbwynt ar ôl llawer o lobïo gan Suzy Davies i gael y pwynt pwysig hwn i mewn i Ddeddf Cwricwlwm ac Asesu (Cymru) 2021, fel y byddai lle o fewn y cwricwlwm i'r addysg honno gael ei darparu mewn colegau ac ysgolion ar hyd a lled Cymru, oherwydd, unwaith eto, clywn y rhifau, fel y soniodd Gareth yn ei sylwadau agoriadol, a bydd 8,000 o bobl yn cael ataliad y galon yng Nghymru bob blwyddyn. Mae ataliad y galon yn lladd mwy o bobl na chanser yr ysgyfaint, canser y fron ac AIDS gyda'i gilydd - gyda'i gilydd. Mae hynny'n werth ei ystyried. Gyda chanser yr ysgyfaint, canser y fron ac AIDS wedi'u cyfuno, mae mwy o bobl yn marw o ataliad y galon yma yng Nghymru. Ond mae yna ateb: gallwn sicrhau bod y dyfeisiau hyn ar gael yn haws, a gallwn sicrhau bod y dyfeisiau hyn ym mhob cymuned ar hyd a lled Cymru. Ond pan fyddwn yn sicrhau eu bod ar gael, yr hyn sy'n bwysig yw eu bod ar gael i'w defnyddio 24/7, nid yn unig mewn mannau gwaith cyfyngedig, megis mewn colegau, er enghraifft, lle mae llawer o golegau'n nodi bod ganddynt ddiffibrilwyr, ac mae hynny i'w groesawu, ond nid yw'n llawer o werth iddo fod yn y coleg os yw'r drws wedi'i gloi ac na allwch ei gyrraedd pan fydd ei angen. A dyna pam y mae angen mwy o weithgaredd cymunedol arnom i geisio cael mwy o neuaddau cymunedol, a lleoliadau chwaraeon yn arbennig, i wneud yn siŵr eu bod yn defnyddio'r cyfleusterau hyn. A dyna pam rwyf wedi bod mor falch yn fy rôl - ac nid wyf yn ceisio cael fy ailethol ym mis Mai y flwyddyn nesaf, felly nid cais i gael fy ethol y flwyddyn nesaf yw hwn; rwy'n datgan buddiant - fy mod wedi cael y pleser o chwarae rhan yn codi arian ar gyfer o leiaf bum diffibriliwr yn ward y Rhws i sicrhau, o'r clwb pêl-droed i safle preswyl Trwyn y Rhws i bentref Llantrithyd, fod diffibrilwyr bellach ar gael i'r cymunedau hynny. A dyna lle mae'n wirioneddol bwysig. Rwy'n gresynu bod y Llywodraeth wedi dewis dileu'r un pwynt yn y cynnig hwn heddiw a alwai am weithredu ar ran y Llywodraeth i ymgysylltu â grwpiau cymunedol i sicrhau bod arian ar gael ar sail gyson a chynaliadwy i sicrhau y gallwn godi'r niferoedd y soniodd Gareth amdanynt. Ar hyn o bryd, gwyddom fod tua 4,000 o ddiffibrilwyr ar gael ledled Cymru. Os ydym am gael darpariaeth ystyrlon ar sail genedlaethol, mae'n debyg y bydd angen inni ddyblu'r nifer honno, ac mae hynny'n gofyn llawer. Ond credaf fod y Llywodraeth wedi cymryd cam yn ôl wrth geisio dileu'r pwynt hwn yn y cynnig y prynhawn yma, oherwydd mae'n gynnig cydsyniol ac yn y pen draw mae'n ceisio cyrraedd y ddarpariaeth ddigonol honno'n genedlaethol drwy alw ar y Llywodraeth i sicrhau bod yr adnoddau cenedlaethol hynny ar gael. Rwy'n derbyn bod gwelliant y Llywodraeth yn sôn am arian sydd ar gael gan y Llywodraeth i wahanol grwpiau cymunedol, ond yn amlwg, mae llawer mwy o waith i'w wneud. Pan edrychwch ar yr ymatebion addysg y mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig wedi'u cael yn ôl, yn enwedig gan awdurdodau addysg lleol, dim ond sir Ddinbych a allai nodi'n union beth oedd gan safleoedd ysgol o ran diffibrilwyr. Cadarnhaodd yr 11 awdurdod lleol arall allan o 12 a ymatebodd i'r cais rhyddid gwybodaeth nad oes cronfa ddata ganolog o fewn yr adran addysg i ddangos ble mewn ysgolion y gallai diffibrilwyr fod ai peidio. Unwaith eto, mae hynny'n ddiffyg yn ein dealltwriaeth o'r hyn y gallwn ei wneud. Mae llawer o waith i'w wneud, ond rydym yn gwneud cynnydd yn y maes hwn. Gobeithio y gallwn ganfod consensws gyda'r ddadl hon heddiw, oherwydd fel y gwelsom gyda'r pandemig, yn anffodus roedd yn un o bob 10 cyn y pandemig yn goroesi ataliad y galon yma yng Nghymru, ac mae bellach yn un o bob 20, felly mae'r niferoedd wedi mynd tuag yn ôl. Nid yw hynny'n fai ar neb, oherwydd y pandemig - rwy'n derbyn hynny - ond mae'n pwysleisio'r mynydd sy'n rhaid inni ei ddringo a'r gwaith sy'n rhaid inni ei wneud mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru gyfan i sicrhau ein bod yn creu mwy o addysg o amgylch y defnydd o ddiffibrilwyr, a mynediad at ddiffibrilwyr, yn bwysig iawn. Rwyf am ailadrodd y llinell honno eto: mae angen iddynt fod ar gael yn rhwydd 24/7. Nid oes unrhyw bwynt ticio blwch yn dweud bod diffibriliwr mewn lleoliad dan glo sydd ddim ar gael am 12 awr o'r dydd, na thros y penwythnos. Oherwydd fel y digwyddodd i Alun, roedd yn digwydd bod mewn parc; yn y pen draw, roedd yn lwcus fod rhywun yn mynd heibio ac yn gallu gwneud yr hyn roedd angen ei wneud i ddod ag ef yn ôl yn fyw. Ond pwy a ŵyr ble y gallai daro un o'r 8,000 o bobl yng Nghymru a fyddai'n cael digwyddiad cardiaidd o'r fath. Galwaf ar y Llywodraeth i wneud mwy, fel y mae'r wrthblaid bob amser yn ei wneud mewn dadleuon ar brynhawn dydd Mercher. Ond rwy'n cymeradwyo'r Llywodraeth am y gwaith a wnaeth yn y Cynulliad diwethaf gyda Suzy Davies i sicrhau bod lle yn y cwricwlwm addysg i ganiatáu mwy o ddysgu addysgol fel bod pobl yn gwybod beth i'w wneud os byddant yn wynebu hynny. Mae'r Llywydd yn edrych arnaf yn awr, oherwydd mae'r llinell goch wedi codi, felly ar y nodyn hwnnw, rwyf am orffen. Diolch.
