English: Yes. I've seen the interviews that your constituent has given, and he does recognise, as you say, that this happened pre-devolution, and you would ordinarily expect the UK Government to take on continuing responsibility for what was a real scandal undertaken, over many decades, where people were innocently infected and their whole life has been affected. I was disappointed that the UK Department for Health, on the day that the inquiry finally started, announced an entirely new payment system only for English residents, without any kind of notice or discussion with Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, that ran contrary to previous agreements and discussions that had taken place, because there are differences in the support schemes that are available across the United Kingdom. I think it would be sensible if we could come to the point where we had a support system that was consistent across the United Kingdom. That requires the four Governments to work together. That was given to us before the inquiry started, and then a surprise announcement was made. Our officials, though, do continue to talk, and there's a meeting due to take place between officials in the next week, and we are looking to have a date when UK Ministers can discuss these matters together - from each of the three Governments, Ministers, and a representative from the Northern Ireland Government as well - before the end of summer recess, because I do want to make progress, and I certainly don't want to leave this issue to carry on with an annual competition between the four Governments, rather some sense and sensibility to recognise we need to support the people who have been affected, because there's still quite a lot of their life to be lived.
Welsh: Ie. Gwelais y cyfweliadau gyda'ch etholwr, ac mae'n cydnabod, fel y dywedwch, fod hyn wedi digwydd cyn datganoli, a byddech fel arfer yn disgwyl i Lywodraeth y DU gymryd cyfrifoldeb parhaus dros yr hyn a oedd yn sgandal gwirioneddol, dros nifer o ddegawdau, lle cafodd pobl ddiniwed eu heintio a lle'r effeithiwyd ar eu bywydau cyfan. Roeddwn yn siomedig fod Adran Iechyd y DU, ar y diwrnod y cychwynnodd yr ymchwiliad o'r diwedd, wedi cyhoeddi system daliadau gwbl newydd ar gyfer trigolion Lloegr yn unig, heb unrhyw fath o rybudd na thrafodaeth gyda Chymru, yr Alban na Gogledd Iwerddon, system a aeth yn groes i gytundebau a thrafodaethau blaenorol, oherwydd mae gwahaniaethau yn y cynlluniau cymorth sydd ar gael ledled y Deyrnas Unedig. Credaf y byddai'n synhwyrol pe gallem sicrhau system gymorth a oedd yn gyson ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig. Mae hynny'n golygu bod angen i'r pedair Llywodraeth weithio gyda'i gilydd. Cafodd hynny ei roi i ni cyn i'r ymchwiliad ddechrau, ac wedyn cafwyd cyhoeddiad annisgwyl. Serch hynny, mae ein swyddogion yn parhau i siarad, ac mae cyfarfod i'w gynnal rhwng swyddogion yn ystod yr wythnos nesaf, ac rydym yn gobeithio trefnu dyddiad i Weinidogion y DU allu trafod y materion hyn gyda'i gilydd - Gweinidogion o bob un o'r tair Llywodraeth, a chynrychiolydd o Lywodraeth Gogledd Iwerddon hefyd - cyn diwedd toriad yr haf, oherwydd rwyf eisiau gwneud cynnydd, ac yn sicr nid wyf eisiau gadael i'r mater hwn barhau gyda chystadleuaeth flynyddol rhwng y pedair Llywodraeth, ond yn hytrach, mae angen rhywfaint o synnwyr ac ymwybyddiaeth i gydnabod ein bod angen cefnogi'r bobl yr effeithiwyd arnynt, oherwydd mae ganddynt lawer o'u bywydau i'w byw o hyd.
