English: On the final point about the board's improvement programme, you'll see it transparently in both the quarterly reviews we publish and the responses from the board. This is a continuing high-profile area for the board and its governance, and the assurance that it is seeking. Again, as I said earlier, the health board knows that there is a high level of interest in what it is doing and the steps that it is taking, and they will also know that, as well as their own processes, the independent panel maintain a role in the oversight and assurance for the maternity service as well. And I think that's really important for members of the public, which I think goes into your point about what can expectant mothers expect in terms of the quality of care that they're entitled to receive and take part in. I say 'take part in' because there are choices for people to make about what matters and makes a difference for them. On the point about being listened to during the course of their treatment, during the course of their care going through a pregnancy, I think, actually, the fact that the panel in this report, as well as in their quarterly reports, have recognised that improvement is taking place is really important. They recognise the commitment of the leadership, both at the executive nurse director level and, indeed, the chief exec, but also, through the teams who are delivering the care on the ground, as it were, in the ward and in the community. I think that's really important too, because the great majority of the women who work in the service - and I'm pleased that you've been able to meet staff, as well as expectant mothers or new mothers - most of these women live in their local communities, and it was why it was so hurtful when there were such challenges with the service, because some of them felt challenge about going into their local community, wearing the uniform and explaining that they were a midwife, because of the level of shock there was. Actually, it's really important that those women, and they are almost all women, who go about doing their job have a real sense of pride in what they're doing, and are delivering excellence in care, and have that supportive learning environment for them as well, because that will help them to deliver the sort of quality of care that I would want for my own family, as well. That's also why the communications work and the direct engagement with mothers is really important, as well. So, that's one of the things that Cath Broderick, in particular, who is one of the independent panel members, has led, and that has been about reviewing and revising the liaison service and the maternity network that exists. So, they're deliberately going out, proactively looking for women's stories, to listen to them, to understand their experience of care, and to ask them what does good care look like to them, and then to go back and say, 'And is that what the health board is delivering?' They're much more open in terms of sharing those patients' stories now, as well. So, there are a range of women who have shared their stories, and good, positive stories of what good-quality care looks like within Cwm Taf Morgannwg. Again, I look forward to seeing that, whatever role I hold or do not hold in public life in the future, in the months ahead, because the pandemic may have interrupted many things, but it certainly hasn't interrupted the maternity service.
Welsh: O ran y sylw olaf am raglen wella'r bwrdd, fe welwch chi honno'n dryloyw yn yr adolygiadau chwarterol a gyhoeddir gennym ni a'r ymatebion gan y bwrdd. Mae hwn yn faes amlwg parhaus i'r bwrdd a'i drefniadau llywodraethu, a'r sicrwydd y mae'n ei geisio. Unwaith eto, fel y dywedais yn gynharach, mae'r bwrdd iechyd yn gwybod bod cryn ddiddordeb yn yr hyn y mae'n ei wneud a'r camau y mae'n eu cymryd, a byddant hefyd yn gwybod bod gan y panel annibynnol, yn ogystal â'u prosesau eu hunain, swyddogaeth o ran goruchwylio a rhoi sicrwydd i'r gwasanaeth mamolaeth hefyd. Ac rwy'n credu bod hynny'n bwysig iawn i aelodau'r cyhoedd, sydd, yn fy marn i, yn berthnasol i'ch pwynt am yr hyn y gall mamau beichiog ei ddisgwyl o ran ansawdd y gofal y mae ganddyn nhw'r hawl i'w gael ac i gymryd rhan ynddo. Dywedaf 'cymryd rhan' oherwydd mae dewisiadau i bobl eu gwneud ynglŷn â'r hyn sy'n bwysig ac yn gwneud gwahaniaeth iddyn nhw. O ran y sylw ynglŷn â chael gwrandawiad yn ystod eu triniaeth, yn ystod eu gofal pan fo nhw'n mynd drwy feichiogrwydd, credaf, mewn gwirionedd, fod y ffaith bod y panel yn yr adroddiad hwn, yn ogystal ag yn eu hadroddiadau chwarterol, wedi cydnabod bod gwelliant yn digwydd yn bwysig iawn. Maen nhw'n cydnabod ymrwymiad yr arweinyddiaeth, ar lefel cyfarwyddwr nyrsio gweithredol ac, yn wir, y prif weithredwr, ond hefyd, drwy'r timau sy'n darparu'r gofal ar lawr gwlad, fel petai, yn y ward ac yn y gymuned. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n bwysig iawn hefyd, oherwydd mae'r mwyafrif helaeth o'r menywod sy'n gweithio yn y gwasanaeth - ac rwy'n falch eich bod wedi gallu cwrdd â staff, yn ogystal â mamau beichiog neu famau newydd - mae'r rhan fwyaf o'r menywod hyn yn byw yn eu cymunedau, a dyna pam yr oedd hi mor niweidiol pan oedd heriau o'r fath gyda'r gwasanaeth, oherwydd roedd rhai ohonyn nhw yn teimlo her ynglŷn ag ymdroi yn eu cymuned eu hunain, gwisgo'r wisg ac egluro mai bydwraig oedden nhw, oherwydd maint y sioc a gafwyd. Mewn gwirionedd, mae'n bwysig iawn bod gan y menywod hynny, ac maen nhw bron i gyd yn fenywod, sy'n mynd ati i wneud eu gwaith, ymdeimlad gwirioneddol o falchder yn yr hyn y maen nhw yn ei wneud, ac yn darparu rhagoriaeth mewn gofal, a bod ganddyn nhw'r amgylchedd dysgu cefnogol hwnnw ar eu cyfer hefyd, oherwydd bydd hynny'n eu helpu i ddarparu'r math o ofal o ansawdd y byddai arnaf i ei eisiau i'm teulu fy hun hefyd. Dyna hefyd pam mae'r gwaith cyfathrebu a'r ymgysylltu uniongyrchol â mamau yn bwysig iawn hefyd. Felly, dyna un o'r pethau y mae Cath Broderick, yn arbennig, sy'n un o aelodau annibynnol y panel, wedi'i arwain, ac mae hynny wedi ymwneud â chloriannu ac adolygu'r gwasanaeth cyswllt a'r rhwydwaith mamolaeth sy'n bodoli. Felly, maen nhw'n bwrw iddi yn fwriadol, yn chwilio'n rhagweithiol am straeon menywod, i wrando arnyn nhw, i ddeall eu profiad o ofal, ac i ofyn iddyn nhw sut beth yw gofal da yn eu tyb nhw, ac yna dychwelyd a dweud, 'Ac ai dyna beth mae'r bwrdd iechyd yn ei gyflawni?' Maen nhw'n llawer mwy agored o ran rhannu straeon y cleifion hynny nawr, hefyd. Felly, mae amrywiaeth o fenywod sydd wedi rhannu eu straeon, a straeon da, cadarnhaol ynglŷn â sut beth yw gofal o ansawdd da yng Nghwm Taf Morgannwg. Unwaith eto, edrychaf ymlaen at weld hynny, pa swyddogaeth bynnag sydd gennyf neu na fydd gennyf mewn bywyd cyhoeddus yn y dyfodol, yn y misoedd i ddod, oherwydd efallai fod y pandemig wedi ymyrryd â sawl peth, ond yn sicr nid yw wedi ymyrryd ar y gwasanaeth mamolaeth.
