English: In my communications with the health board, I continue to stress the importance of making progress against the special measures framework. I've set out objectively and clearly and in public - and it's the same conversation that I have in the direct accountability meetings with the health board - to make real progress on unscheduled care and scheduled care, to continue to make progress on mental health services, to continue to see improvement in the finance function as well - without that financial discipline, they're unlikely to see improvements in other areas - and the support that the Welsh Government could provide is actually about having a proper plan to be able to get behind and support the health board with. And I recognise that Jack Sargeant, of course, as with other North Wales Members, have raised issues with me over a period of time, and I'm sure that the interim chief executive will be keen to meet elected representatives across the spectrum, sooner rather than later. And, in terms of the particular point that you raise today, which we've discussed in the past, about minor injuries provision, part of the interesting point here is that, on major emergency department performance, we're within 2 percentage points of England on major performance. Our challenge is largely because of our ability to deal with some of our emergency patients but, actually, not to see minor injuries provision left to the side. So, there is a challenge, not just in north-east Wales, but more broadly, and I know that's one of the challenges that not just I have discussed, but I know that the interim and the future chief executive will want to address as well. And, on mental health, the health board does have more work to do. But, actually, if you look at what the health board is able to do, it is in a much better position now than it has been previously. And, in fact, if you look at the roll-out of I CAN Work, thousands of people are going to take part in an initiative developed in north Wales, recognised outside of Wales as well, and it's something other people are interested in doing. And it's had a roll-out in Conwy and Denbighshire too. So, there are good reasons to be optimistic about a range of things the health board has, and yet we also know there are significant challenges in the main functions of the health board to deliver. So, it's an honest reflection of where it is, but not collapsing into the idea that everything is going wrong and everything is unacceptable in north Wales, because that simply isn't true.
Welsh: Yn fy ngohebiaeth â'r bwrdd iechyd, rwy'n parhau i bwysleisio pwysigrwydd gwneud cynnydd yn erbyn y fframwaith mesurau arbennig. Rwyf wedi nodi'n wrthrychol ac yn glir ac yn gyhoeddus - ac rwy'n cael yr un sgwrs yn y cyfarfodydd atebolrwydd uniongyrchol â'r bwrdd iechyd - fod angen gwneud cynnydd gwirioneddol ar ofal heb ei drefnu a gofal wedi'i drefnu, parhau i wneud cynnydd ar wasanaethau iechyd meddwl, parhau i weld gwelliant yn y swyddogaeth gyllidol hefyd - heb y ddisgyblaeth ariannol honno, maent yn annhebygol o weld gwelliannau mewn meysydd eraill - ac mae'r gefnogaeth y gallai Llywodraeth Cymru ei darparu'n ymwneud â chael cynllun cywir i allu ei gefnogi a'i ddefnyddio i gefnogi'r bwrdd iechyd. Ac rwy'n cydnabod bod Jack Sargeant, wrth gwrs, fel Aelodau eraill dros Ogledd Cymru, wedi dwyn materion i fy sylw dros gyfnod o amser, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd y prif weithredwr dros dro yn awyddus i gyfarfod â chynrychiolwyr etholedig o bob rhan o'r sbectrwm, yn gynt yn hytrach na'n hwyrach. Ac o ran y pwynt penodol a godwch heddiw, pwynt rydym wedi'i drafod yn y gorffennol, ynglŷn â darpariaeth mân anafiadau, rhan o'r pwynt diddorol yn hyn o beth yw ein bod ni, o ran perfformiad adrannau achosion brys mawr, o fewn 2 bwynt canran i Loegr ar berfformiad adrannau mawr. Mae ein her yn deillio'n bennaf o'n gallu i ymdrin â rhai o'n cleifion brys, ond mewn gwirionedd, i beidio â rhoi darpariaeth mân anafiadau i'r naill ochr. Felly, mae'n her, nid yn unig yng ngogledd-ddwyrain Cymru, ond yn ehangach, a gwn fod hynny'n un o'r heriau sydd wedi'u trafod nid yn unig gennyf fi, ond gwn y bydd y prif weithredwr dros dro a'r prif weithredwr yn y dyfodol am fynd i'r afael â hynny hefyd. Ac o ran iechyd meddwl, mae gan y bwrdd iechyd fwy o waith i'w wneud. Ond mewn gwirionedd, os edrychwch ar yr hyn y gall y bwrdd iechyd ei wneud, mae mewn sefyllfa lawer gwell yn awr nag y bu o'r blaen. Ac mewn gwirionedd, os edrychwch ar y gwaith o gyflwyno Mi FEDRAF, mae miloedd o bobl yn mynd i gymryd rhan mewn menter a ddatblygwyd yng ngogledd Cymru, a cheir cydnabyddiaeth iddi y tu allan i Gymru hefyd, ac mae'n rhywbeth y mae pobl eraill yn awyddus i'w wneud. Ac mae wedi'i gyflwyno yng Nghonwy a Sir Ddinbych hefyd. Felly, mae rhesymau da i fod yn optimistaidd am ystod o bethau sydd gan y bwrdd iechyd, ond serch hynny, gwyddom hefyd fod heriau sylweddol i'w cyflawni ym mhrif swyddogaethau'r bwrdd iechyd. Felly, mae'n adlewyrchiad gonest o'r sefyllfa, ond nid yw'n ildio i'r syniad fod popeth yn mynd o'i le a phopeth yn annerbyniol yng ngogledd Cymru, gan nad yw hynny'n wir o gwbl.
