English: I'm grateful to you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm grateful to the Welsh Conservatives as well for bringing this debate to the Senedd at the beginning of this new term, and I'm grateful for the kind words we've just heard. In terms of where we are, the speech just made by Andrew R.T. Davies is absolutely correct: it is good and we do welcome and we are grateful for the work that Government has completed, and we're eternally grateful for the work of individuals and groups and communities up and down the country who have put in place this life-saving equipment in communities across Wales. But what I will say to the Minister this afternoon is that you cannot rely on charity to deliver an emergency response when somebody is lying between life and death with only minutes to spare. You cannot rely on goodwill or good wishes on a Wednesday afternoon to deliver the treatment that is required. It is only Government that can deliver that. I hope that this afternoon we will reflect on the experience of people - not so much the experience of people like myself who have suffered a cardiac arrest and survived, but the families who have lost loved ones because they didn't survive, and we know Members here in this Chamber have been affected by that in that way. We know that people who appear to be in the best of health have suffered a cardiac arrest with no warning, no symptoms, no chance and no opportunity to seek medical help and medical support. It was terrifying to watch what happened to Christian Eriksen in the summer. What happened to him was exactly what was described as happened to me - no warning, no knowledge, in the middle of some physical activity you anticipated, you expected, to survive. He fell down with a cardiac arrest in exactly the same way as I did. It is only the support and help of people in our community that will enable the paramedics, the cardiologists and the surgeons to use their skills, to use their knowledge, to use their experience to ensure that people can then go on and live their lives. Certainly, the treatment that I received here in Cardiff has enabled me to carry on living my life. And I apologise if, Andrew R.T. Davies, I sometimes make you uncomfortable, but then again, you wouldn't expect anything different. Let me say this: we have a responsibility in this place to do more than to make speeches, and to do more than extend goodwill and good wishes to people across this country. We have a responsibility to put in place the structures that will enable people to survive these experiences. I hope that Members across the Chamber will support the private Member legislation that I will be putting forward again this week. Members were kind enough to support the legislative proposal I made in the last Senedd to provide a legal, statutory responsibility on Welsh Ministers to ensure that defibrillators are available in communities up and down the country, and that people have the training available to use those defibrillators and to provide CPR until a defibrillator can be used. Because it is not just the location of the defibrillator that matters, it is the maintenance of that defibrillator, it is ensuring that that defibrillator is available for use when it is needed. I had a cardiac arrest at 7 o'clock on a Friday evening. You cannot rely on people to have a cardiac arrest in working hours in a convenient location. We already stipulate and demand health and safety legislation throughout our society, from fire safety through to all other means of maintaining and ensuring that life is protected. This is something that we should be mandating as well. I'll say this in closing. I'm grateful to the Conservatives, as I've already said, and grateful for the kind words, and I don't wish to spend too much time simply talking about my own experience, but words matter. Words certainly do matter, but what matters more than words is action. We will have the opportunity in this Senedd to legislate to provide for a statutory framework to enable people across Wales to know that they have this life-saving equipment available in communities up and down the country. We will build on the work that Suzy Davies led in the last Senedd to ensure that the training is available. And we can't simply rely on schools to deliver that; we have to go to workplaces and communities to deliver that as well. Then we have to ensure that there is a chain of survival in place that enables -
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Diolch i'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig hefyd am ddod â'r ddadl hon i'r Senedd ar ddechrau'r tymor newydd hwn, a diolch am y geiriau caredig rydym newydd eu clywed. O ran ble'r ydym, mae'r araith a wnaed gan Andrew R.T. Davies yn gwbl gywir: mae'n dda ac rydym yn croesawu ac rydym yn ddiolchgar am y gwaith y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi'i gwblhau, ac rydym yn hynod ddiolchgar am waith unigolion a grwpiau a chymunedau ar hyd a lled y wlad sydd wedi gosod offer achub bywyd mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru. Ond yr hyn a ddywedaf wrth y Gweinidog y prynhawn yma yw na allwch ddibynnu ar elusen i ymateb ar frys pan fydd rhywun yn gorwedd rhwng byw a marw gyda dim ond munudau i'w sbario. Ni allwch ddibynnu ar ewyllys da na dymuniadau gorau ar brynhawn dydd Mercher i ddarparu'r driniaeth sydd ei hangen. Dim ond Llywodraeth a all gyflawni hynny. Rwy'n gobeithio y gallwn fyfyrio ar brofiad pobl y prynhawn yma - nid yn gymaint profiad pobl fel fi sydd wedi dioddef ataliad y galon ac wedi goroesi, ond y teuluoedd sydd wedi colli anwyliaid am na wnaethant oroesi, a gwyddom fod hynny wedi effeithio ar Aelodau yma yn y Siambr hon. Gwyddom fod pobl sy'n ymddangos fel pe baent mewn iechyd ardderchog wedi dioddef ataliad y galon heb rybudd, heb symptomau, a heb gyfle i gael cymorth meddygol. Roedd yn frawychus gwylio'r hyn a ddigwyddodd i Christian Eriksen yn yr haf. Yr hyn a ddigwyddodd iddo ef oedd yr hyn y disgrifiwyd ei fod wedi digwydd i mi - dim rhybudd, dim gwybodaeth, ynghanol rhyw weithgarwch corfforol roeddech yn rhagweld, roeddech yn disgwyl, ei oroesi. Fe syrthiodd gydag ataliad y galon yn union yn yr un ffordd ag y gwnes innau. Dim ond cefnogaeth a chymorth pobl yn ein cymuned a fydd yn galluogi'r parafeddygon, y cardiolegwyr a'r llawfeddygon i ddefnyddio eu sgiliau, i ddefnyddio eu gwybodaeth, i ddefnyddio eu profiad i sicrhau y gall pobl fwrw ymlaen â'u bywydau. Yn sicr, mae'r driniaeth a gefais yma yng Nghaerdydd wedi fy ngalluogi i barhau i fyw fy mywyd. Ac rwy'n ymddiheuro, Andrew R.T. Davies, os wyf fi weithiau'n gwneud i chi deimlo'n anghyfforddus, ond wedi dweud hynny, ni fyddech yn disgwyl iddi fod fel arall. Gadewch imi ddweud hyn: mae gennym gyfrifoldeb yn y lle hwn i wneud mwy na gwneud areithiau, ac i wneud mwy na mynegi ewyllys da a dymuniadau da i bobl ledled y wlad hon. Mae gennym gyfrifoldeb i sefydlu'r strwythurau a fydd yn galluogi pobl i oroesi'r profiadau hyn. Gobeithio y bydd Aelodau ar draws y Siambr yn cefnogi'r ddeddfwriaeth Aelod preifat y byddaf yn ei chyflwyno eto yr wythnos hon. Roedd yr Aelodau'n ddigon caredig i gefnogi'r cynnig deddfwriaethol a wneuthum yn y Senedd ddiwethaf i ddarparu cyfrifoldeb cyfreithiol, statudol ar Weinidogion Cymru i sicrhau bod diffibrilwyr ar gael mewn cymunedau ar hyd a lled y wlad, a bod pobl yn cael yr hyfforddiant sydd ar gael i ddefnyddio'r diffibrilwyr hynny ac i ddarparu CPR nes y gellir defnyddio diffibriliwr. Oherwydd nid lleoliad y diffibriliwr yn unig sy'n bwysig, ond cynnal a chadw'r diffibriliwr, sicrhau bod y diffibriliwr ar gael i'w ddefnyddio pan fydd ei angen. Cefais ataliad y galon am 7 o'r gloch ar nos Wener. Ni allwch ddibynnu ar bobl i gael ataliad y galon o fewn oriau gwaith mewn lleoliad cyfleus. Rydym eisoes yn pennu ac yn mynnu deddfwriaeth iechyd a diogelwch yn ein cymdeithas drwyddi draw, o ddiogelwch tân i bob dull arall o gynnal a sicrhau bod bywyd yn cael ei ddiogelu. Mae hyn hefyd yn rhywbeth y dylem ei wneud yn orfodol. Hoffwn ddweud hyn wrth gloi. Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Ceidwadwyr, fel y dywedais eisoes, ac yn ddiolchgar am y geiriau caredig, ac nid wyf am dreulio gormod o amser yn siarad am fy mhrofiad fy hun, ond mae geiriau'n bwysig. Mae geiriau'n sicr yn bwysig, ond yr hyn sy'n bwysicach na geiriau yw gweithredu. Cawn gyfle yn y Senedd hon i ddeddfu i ddarparu ar gyfer fframwaith statudol i alluogi pobl ledled Cymru i wybod bod ganddynt offer achub bywyd ar gael mewn cymunedau ar hyd a lled y wlad. Byddwn yn adeiladu ar y gwaith a arweiniodd Suzy Davies yn y Senedd ddiwethaf i sicrhau bod hyfforddiant ar gael. Ac ni allwn ddibynnu'n syml ar ysgolion i gyflawni hynny; rhaid inni fynd i weithleoedd a chymunedau i gyflawni hynny hefyd. Yna mae'n rhaid inni sicrhau bod cadwyn oroesi ar waith sy'n ein galluogi -
