English: I know the First Minister has said he doesn't look forward to First Minister's questions, and he once reportedly stood up the Prime Minister to attend a party, but do you think it's in order for him to prioritise a reception in Buckingham Palace over answering questions here in the Senedd? What I would have asked him, and now we'll ask you instead, is if you are running out of excuses for the crisis in A&E. For instance, on 12 February, the Minister for health, Vaughan Gething, told us that, over the past months, we've seen the highest number of flu cases in hospitals since 2009 pandemic, yet the Public Health Wales influenza surveillance report shows flu is circulating at medium levels below that for the year previously. Vaughan Gething also claimed that winter stomach bugs were putting an additional strain on the NHS. Well, we've researched this with FOI requests. Some local health boards told us this information for this winter wasn't available yet, but the ones that have provided us with data have shown that this year's numbers are not noticeably different from last year. Indeed, Betsi Cadwaladr, the worst performing health board for A&E, is treating fewer cases of winter stomach bugs this year than in the previous two years. It cannot be claimed either that the NHS is being overwhelmed by patient numbers this winter. In his statement on 12 February Vaughan Gething said, 'Hospitals have admitted fewer people over the age of 85 as emergencies this winter, compared with the previous two winters.' So, when all these excuses are stripped away, surely there can be only one of two reasons for your failure to get to grips with worsening waiting times: one is that you simply have no idea what to do to tackle them; the other can only be that you know what to do but you're simply not doing it. Which is it?
Welsh: Gwn fod y Prif Weinidog wedi dweud nad yw'n edrych ymlaen at gwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog, ac mae'n debyg ei fod unwaith wedi methu â chyfarfod Prif Weinidog y DU er mwyn mynd i barti, ond a ydych chi'n credu ei bod hi'n briodol iddo flaenoriaethu derbyniad ym Mhalas Buckingham yn hytrach nag ateb cwestiynau yma yn y Senedd? Yr hyn y byddwn i wedi ei ofyn iddo, ac y byddaf yn ei ofyn i chi nawr yn hytrach, yw a ydych chi'n rhedeg allan o esgusodion am yr argyfwng mewn adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys. Er enghraifft, ar 12 Chwefror, dywedodd y Gweinidog iechyd, Vaughan Gething, wrthym ein bod ni wedi gweld, dros y misoedd diwethaf, y nifer fwyaf o achosion o ffliw mewn ysbytai ers pandemig 2009, ac eto mae adroddiad cadw golwg ar y ffliw Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru yn dangos bod ffliw yn cylchredeg ar lefelau canolig sy'n is na'r rhai ar gyfer y flwyddyn flaenorol. Honnodd Vaughan Gething hefyd bod bygiau stumog y gaeaf yn rhoi straen ychwanegol ar y GIG. Wel, rwyf i wedi ymchwilio i hyn trwy geisiadau rhyddid gwybodaeth. Dywedodd rhai byrddau iechyd lleol wrthym nad oedd yr wybodaeth hon ar gael ar gyfer y gaeaf hwn hyd yn hyn, ond mae'r rhai sydd wedi darparu data i ni wedi dangos nad yw niferoedd eleni yn arbennig o wahanol i'r llynedd. Yn wir, mae Betsi Cadwaladr, y bwrdd iechyd sy'n perfformio waethaf o ran adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys, yn trin llai o achosion o fygiau stumog y gaeaf eleni nag y mae wedi ei wneud yn y ddwy flynedd flaenorol. Ni ellir hawlio ychwaith bod y GIG yn cael ei foddi gan niferoedd cleifion y gaeaf hwn. Yn ei ddatganiad ar 12 Chwefror, dywedodd Vaughan Gething, 'Mae ysbytai wedi derbyn llai o bobl dros 85 oed mewn achosion brys y gaeaf hwn, o'i gymharu â'r ddau aeaf blaenorol.' Felly, pan fydd yr holl esgusodion hyn yn cael ei tynnu i ffwrdd, mae'n amlwg mai dim ond un o ddau reswm a all fod am eich methiant i fynd i'r afael ag amseroedd aros sy'n gwaethygu: un yw nad oes gennych chi unrhyw syniad beth i'w wneud i fynd i'r afael â nhw; a'r unig beth y gall y rheswm arall fod yw eich bod chi'n gwybod beth i'w wneud ond nad ydych chi'n ei wneud. Pa un sy'n wir?
