English: Could I seek two statements, if possible, please, leader of the house? The first is in relation to the review that the Cabinet Secretary for the economy announced of the Heads of the Valleys - it's the stage on the eastern part of that road. There do seem to be significant ramifications both on cost and time, and businesses in my region have already commented at the dire transport situation they're faced with, with lorries, cars, vans, stuck in horrendous traffic delays on this part of the road network. It is disappointing, given that this is the largest capital expenditure by the Welsh Government on roads, that there is no statement forthcoming from the Government as to the type, the scale, of the review and, indeed, some of the initial problems that they've identified. I do not believe that we've had the time and opportunity to question the Minister - or the Cabinet Secretary, should I say - on this review. And, as I said, this isn't some improvement to a lay-by, this is a £220 million investment made by the Welsh Government into the final part of the eastern link of the Heads of the Valleys road, and I do believe it would have merited presence on the order paper this afternoon, but, in the absence of it being on the order paper this afternoon, could we have the opportunity to have a complete and comprehensive statement from the Cabinet Secretary on this matter? Secondly, could we have a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for health, if possible, please? The First Minister seemed very adamant in his address to me this afternoon that there would be no deficit at the north Wales health board, when a projected deficit of £50 million by the board itself is highlighted in its own board papers, when waiting times are doubling in that particular health board. One can see how residents in north Wales in particular, but in particular politicians from opposition parties in this Chamber who are here to scrutinise the Government, can only shrug their shoulders in disbelief when you think that, five months ago, the health board there is supposed to be making savings of £10 million a month. And to have no impact on waiting times or no impact on staff retention is, I think, fanciful to say the least. If it is the case that the Welsh Government will be injecting new funds into the health board, and, indeed, other health boards that had projected deficits, then I think that needs to be made quite clear and I would, therefore, call on the health Secretary to make a statement to clarify the position that has been taken by the First Minister so that we can have confidence on the measures that are being taken forward to (a) reduce waiting times and (b) make sure that the deficits within the health boards are brought back under control.
Welsh: A gaf i ofyn am ddau ddatganiad, os yn bosibl, os gwelwch yn dda, arweinydd y tŷ? Mae'r cyntaf yn ymwneud â'r adolygiad o Flaenau'r Cymoedd a gyhoeddwyd gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr economi - y cam ar ran ddwyreiniol y ffordd honno yw hwn. Ymddengys bod goblygiadau sylweddol o ran cost ac amser, ac mae busnesau yn fy rhanbarth i eisoes wedi gwneud sylwadau ar y sefyllfa drafnidiaeth ofnadwy y maent yn ei hwynebu, gyda lorïau, ceir, faniau, ddim yn symud mewn oedi traffig sylweddol ar y rhan hon o'r rhwydwaith ffyrdd. Mae'n siomedig, o gofio mai dyma'r gwariant cyfalaf mwyaf gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar ffyrdd, nad oes datganiad ar gael gan y Llywodraeth ynghylch math a maint yr adolygiad ac, yn wir, rhai o'r problemau cychwynnol y maen nhw wedi eu nodi. Nid wyf yn credu ein bod wedi cael yr amser na'r cyfle i holi'r Gweinidog - nac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ddylwn i ddweud - ar yr adolygiad hwn. Ac, fel y dywedais, nid rhyw welliant i gilfan yw hwn ond buddsoddiad o £220 miliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn rhan derfynol cyswllt dwyreiniol ffordd Blaenau'r Cymoedd, ac rwyf i o'r farn y byddai wedi haeddu bod ar y papur gorchmynion y prynhawn yma, ond, gan nad yw ar y papur gorchymyn y prynhawn yma, a allwn ni gael y cyfle i gael datganiad cyflawn a chynhwysfawr gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ar y mater hwn? Yn ail, a gawn ni ddatganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros iechyd, os yn bosibl, os gwelwch yn dda? Roedd y Prif Weinidog yn ymddangos yn bendant iawn yn ei anerchiad wrthyf y prynhawn yma na fyddai diffyg ym mwrdd iechyd gogledd Cymru, pryd y dangosir diffyg rhagamcanol o £50 miliwn gan y bwrdd ei hun yn ei bapurau bwrdd ei hun, pan fo amseroedd aros yn dyblu yn y bwrdd iechyd penodol hwnnw. Gall rhywun weld sut y gall trigolion yn y gogledd yn arbennig, ond yn enwedig gwleidyddion o'r gwrthbleidiau yn y Siambr hon sydd yma i graffu ar y Llywodraeth, godi eu hysgwyddau mewn anghrediniaeth pan fyddwch chi'n ystyried, bum mis yn ôl, bod y bwrdd iechyd yn y fan honno i fod i wneud arbedion o £10 miliwn y mis. Ac mae peidio â chael unrhyw effaith ar amseroedd aros nac unrhyw effaith ar gadw staff, rwy'n credu, yn afrealistig a dweud y lleiaf. Os yw'n wir y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn chwistrellu cronfeydd newydd i'r bwrdd iechyd, ac, yn wir, byrddau iechyd eraill a oedd â diffygion rhagamcanol, yna credaf fod angen gwneud hynny'n gwbl glir a byddwn, felly, yn galw ar yr Ysgrifennydd iechyd i wneud datganiad i egluro'r safbwynt a gymerwyd gan y Prif Weinidog fel y gallwn ni fod yn ffyddiog y bydd y camau sy'n cael eu cymryd yn (a) lleihau amseroedd aros a (b) yn sicrhau bod y diffygion yn y byrddau iechyd yn dod yn ôl o dan reolaeth.
