English: Personally, I would - . I feel that it's very important that we - . The patient journey is very important for every patient who is treated. I think perhaps these standards do not reflect the patient journey if they wish to express themselves in Welsh - express their anxieties or their concerns. I think that there is an opportunity in relation to using ICT where patients are registered during their initial contact with GPs. With regard to emergency cases, the priority, of course, is the treatment, and there is no argument in regard to that. But we're talking here about elective treatment or day-to-day treatment in relation to GPs' work. There are opportunities here to use technology to improve the patient experience in relation to being referred to specialists who are confident in the use of Welsh to serve their patients. With regard to the standards themselves, I think there is an obligation in relation to in-patients, but there isn't one in relation to out-patients. I think, very often, in-patients who come in for elective procedures, for example, surgery, they will have been seen as an out-patient already. So, that language choice can be recorded at the very much earlier stage in that patient's journey. So, there are opportunities for patients to express their language preference and to improve the patient's experience through giving them that option if they would like to see a Welsh-speaking specialist, so that we use ICT and the systems we have. For example, there is a system called the Welsh clinical portal that is being developed across Wales, and language preference could be recorded on that in the same way as we record allergies or any clinical issues. That means that patients would have a better experience, and also hopefully would be more confident in their discussions with their specialists. Another point in relation to out-patients is that I deal with many long-term conditions, and therefore there is an opportunity there to develop a relationship with the patient over a longer period, and, if it's possible to use a system of appropriate referral, that would improve things for the patient in general. So, I do think, with regard to recording language preference, that standard does need to be improved. There's an opportunity to do so. On the whole, I do welcome the standards, but I think there do need to be some amendments.
Welsh: Yn bersonol, hefyd, byddwn i'n - . Rydw i'n teimlo ei bod yn bwysig ein bod ni - . Mae taith y claf yn beth pwysig i bob claf sy'n cael ei drin. Rydw i'n credu, o bosib, nad yw'r safonau yma'n adlewyrchu taith y claf o safbwynt os ydyn nhw'n moyn mynegi eu hunain yn y Gymraeg - mynegi eu hofnau neu'u gofidion. Rydw i'n teimlo bod yna gyfle o safbwynt defnyddio technoleg gwybodaeth ble mae cleifion yn cael eu cofrestru ac o'r cysylltiad cyntaf gyda'r meddyg teulu. Achosion brys, y flaenoriaeth yw triniaeth, ac nid oes yna amheuaeth ynglŷn â hynny. Ond rydym ni'n sôn am driniaeth sydd yn driniaeth elective a thriniaeth pob dydd o safbwynt meddygon teulu. Mae yna gyfle i ddefnyddio technoleg i wella profiad y claf o safbwynt gweld arbenigwyr sydd yn hyderus i ddefnyddio'r Gymraeg i ateb gofynion y cleifion. O safbwynt y safonau eu hunain, mae yna oblygiad o safbwynt cleifion mewnol, ond nid oes yna gwestiwn o safbwynt cleifion allanol. Yn aml iawn, bydd cleifion sydd yn gleifion mewnol, sydd yn dod i mewn o safbwynt elective, dywedwch eu bod nhw'n cael llawdriniaeth, byddan nhw wedi cael eu gweld fel claf allanol i ddechrau. Ac felly mae'r dewis iaith yn cael ei gofnodi ar gam cymaint ymhellach ar hyd y daith i'r claf. Felly, mae yna gyfleon i gleifion i fynegi eu dewis ac i wella profiad y claf trwy roi'r cynnig iddyn nhw os ydyn nhw am weld arbenigwr sy'n siarad Cymraeg, fel ein bod ni'n defnyddio technoleg gwybodaeth a'r systemau. Er enghraifft, mae yna system o'r enw Welsh clinical portal sydd yn cael ei ddatblygu ledled Cymru, ac y byddai modd cofrestru'r dewis yna ar gyfer y claf yn yr un modd ag yr ŷm ni yn cofrestru dewis o safbwynt alergedd neu rhyw bwynt clinigol. Mae hynny'n golygu bod cleifion yn mynd i gael profiad gwell, a gobeithio y byddan nhw yn fwy hyderus o safbwynt eu trafodaethau gyda'u harbenigwyr. Pwynt arall o safbwynt cleifion allanol yw rydw i'n delio â lot o gyflyrau hirdymor, ac felly mae'r cyfle yna dros gyfnod o amser i ddatblygu perthynas gyda'r claf, ac os oes modd defnyddio system o gyfeirio yn briodol, mae hynny'n gwella'r profiad i gleifion yn gyffredinol. Felly, rydw i'n credu bod y safon o safbwynt cofnodi dewis iaith - rydw i'n credu bod angen gwella hwnnw. Mae yna gyfle i wella hwnnw. Ar y cyfan, rydw i'n croesawu'r safonau, ond mae yna welliannau y gellid eu gwneud.
