English: I thank the leader of the opposition. I'll offer you a brief explanation of my tie, which is that it is a tie knitted for me by a very elderly lady who came to this country immediately after the second world war as a refugee from Ukraine. This knot is a Ukranian design that she knitted and sent in recognition of the work that, right across Wales, is going on to welcome people from Ukraine, as he discussed with me only a couple of weeks ago, here to Wales. On our last session before the break, Llywydd, I thought I would wear it in recognition of her wish to demonstrate that. So, thank you for that. On NHS waiting times, I think there are reasons why people can begin to see improvement. In the last figures that were available, our ambulance times improved, waiting times in emergency departments improved, the times that people were waiting for therapies were down by 10.5 per cent compared to the previous month, and long waits were starting to improve. Look, it's a start of a long journey here, because the NHS continues to deal every day both with the legacy of the pandemic period but also with the impact of coronavirus here in Wales today. We have 1,900 staff who would otherwise be in work in the NHS today who are not in work because they themselves are ill with coronavirus. One in 20 people in Wales in last week's Office for National Statistics survey are ill in that way. We went, on Friday, above 1,000 people again in an NHS bed ill with coronavirus. The number of people in intensive care with coronavirus rose again last week. And on top of the 1,900 people who are ill with coronavirus, over another 600 people are not in work because they are self-isolating having been in contact with somebody. So, that's 2,500 people who could be in work today, providing those treatments, getting those waiting times down, who aren't there because coronavirus is still here in Wales. So, the system is working as hard as it can to increase the supply of treatments, to make good the backlog, but the difficulties in its path are very significant and haven't gone away.
Welsh: Diolch i arweinydd yr wrthblaid. Cynigiaf esboniad byr i chi ynghylch fy nhei, sef ei fod yn dei a gafodd ei wau i mi gan wraig oedrannus iawn a ddaeth i'r wlad hon yn union ar ôl yr ail ryfel byd yn ffoadur o Wcráin. Mae'r cwlwm hwn o batrwm Wcreinaidd y mae hi wedi'i wau a'i anfon i gydnabod y gwaith sydd, ledled Cymru, yn mynd ymlaen i groesawu pobl o Wcráin, fel y trafododd ef gyda mi ychydig wythnosau'n ôl, yma i Gymru. Ar ein sesiwn olaf cyn yr egwyl, Llywydd, roeddwn yn meddwl y byddwn yn ei wisgo i gydnabod ei dymuniad i ddangos hynny. Felly, diolch i chi am hynny. O ran amseroedd aros y GIG, rwy'n credu bod rhesymau pam y gall pobl ddechrau gweld gwelliant. Yn y ffigurau diwethaf a oedd ar gael, gwellodd ein hamseroedd ambiwlansys, gwellodd amseroedd aros mewn adrannau achosion brys, roedd yr amseroedd yr oedd pobl yn aros am therapïau wedi gostwng 10.5 y cant o'i gymharu â'r mis blaenorol, ac roedd amseroedd aros hir yn dechrau gwella. Edrychwch, mae'n ddechrau taith hir yma, oherwydd mae'r GIG yn parhau i ymdrin bob dydd â gwaddol cyfnod y pandemig ond hefyd gydag effaith coronafeirws yma yng Nghymru heddiw. Mae gennym 1,900 o staff a fyddai fel arall mewn gwaith yn y GIG heddiw nad ydyn nhw yn y gwaith oherwydd eu bod nhw eu hunain yn sâl gyda choronafeirws. Mae un o bob 20 o bobl yng Nghymru yn arolwg y Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol yr wythnos diwethaf yn sâl yn yr un ffordd. Gwelsom, ddydd Gwener, dros 1,000 o bobl eto mewn gwelyau'r GIG yn sâl gyda choronafeirws. Cynyddodd nifer y bobl mewn gofal dwys gyda choronafeirws eto yr wythnos diwethaf. Ac ar ben y 1,900 o bobl sy'n sâl gyda choronafeirws, nid yw dros 600 o bobl eraill yn y gwaith am eu bod yn hunanynysu ar ôl bod mewn cysylltiad â rhywun. Felly, dyna 2,500 o bobl a allai fod yn y gwaith heddiw, yn darparu'r triniaethau hynny, yn cael yr amseroedd aros hynny i lawr, nad ydyn nhw yno oherwydd bod y coronafeirws yma yng Nghymru o hyd. Felly, mae'r system yn gweithio mor galed ag y gall i gynyddu'r cyflenwad o driniaethau, er mwyn gwneud iawn am yr ôl-groniad, ond mae'r anawsterau sy'n ei hwynebu yn sylweddol iawn ac nid ydyn nhw wedi diflannu.
