English: I was delighted when the new Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Well-being was appointed because I know of her personal passion to want to get to grips with the problems that we've had in our young people's mental health services over the years, and I was a member of the Children, Young People and Education Committee when it produced its 'Mind over matter' report. And I'm very much hoping that the Minister will be able to address many of the concerns that, unfortunately, we all know, are still lingering in the aftermath of that report. Many of the recommendations, of course, were accepted by the Welsh Government, some were not, to the angst of the then Chair of the committee. But, quite clearly, this is something that we need to work on a cross-party basis to address and we have always done so when it comes to mental health in this Senedd over the years. My own constituency, of course, is located in the area that is served by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, and it's a matter of deep regret to me that that health board has had in the past major challenges in the delivery of its mental health services, with scandalous care provided to elderly people on the Tawel Fan ward in the Ablett unit. And also, it unfortunately still has some huge and significant problems going forward. It remains in special measures to all intents and purposes, the highest level of intervention, in relation to those mental health challenges that it still has, even some six years on since the organisation went into special measures. I think, Deputy Minister, we will be looking to you to really raise that issue up the priority list, so that we can ensure that the people of north Wales get the levels of care and treatment, access to treatment, that they deserve. We know at the moment - . Yes, I'll happily take an intervention.
Welsh: Roeddwn wrth fy modd pan benodwyd y Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd Meddwl a Llesiant newydd oherwydd gwn am ei hangerdd personol i fod eisiau mynd i'r afael â'r problemau a gawsom yn ein gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl i bobl ifanc dros y blynyddoedd, ac roeddwn yn aelod o'r Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg pan luniodd ei adroddiad 'Cadernid Meddwl'. Ac rwy'n gobeithio'n fawr y bydd y Gweinidog yn gallu mynd i'r afael â llawer o'r pryderon sydd, yn anffodus, fel y mae pawb ohonom yn gwybod, yn parhau yn sgil yr adroddiad hwnnw. Derbyniwyd llawer o'r argymhellion gan Lywodraeth Cymru wrth gwrs, ac ni dderbyniwyd rhai eraill, er mawr ofid i Gadeirydd y pwyllgor ar y pryd. Ond yn gwbl amlwg, mae hyn yn rhywbeth y mae angen inni weithio arno ar sail drawsbleidiol i fynd i'r afael ag ef ac rydym bob amser wedi gwneud hynny mewn perthynas ag iechyd meddwl yn y Senedd hon dros y blynyddoedd. Mae fy etholaeth i, wrth gwrs, wedi'i lleoli yn yr ardal a wasanaethir gan Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr, ac mae'n destun gofid mawr i mi fod y bwrdd iechyd hwnnw wedi wynebu heriau mawr yn y gorffennol yn ei ddarpariaeth o wasanaethau iechyd meddwl, gyda'r gofal gwarthus a roddwyd i bobl oedrannus ar ward Tawel Fan yn uned Ablett. A hefyd, yn anffodus, mae problemau enfawr a sylweddol yn dal i fod yno. Mae'n parhau i fod yn destun mesurau arbennig i bob pwrpas, y lefel uchaf o ymyrraeth, mewn perthynas â'r heriau iechyd meddwl hynny sydd ganddo o hyd, er bod tua chwe blynedd ers i'r sefydliad gael ei wneud yn destun mesurau arbennig. Ddirprwy Weinidog, rwy'n credu y byddwn yn dibynnu arnoch chi i godi'r mater hwnnw'n uwch ar y rhestr flaenoriaethau, fel y gallwn sicrhau bod pobl gogledd Cymru yn cael y lefelau gofal a thriniaeth, mynediad at driniaeth, y maent yn ei haeddu. Gwyddom ar hyn o bryd - . Ydw, rwy'n hapus i dderbyn ymyriad.
