English: But I'm sad to say that, along with all of these individual problems that we all no doubt are aware of, I also have little faith in the stats and the data and information provided by the health board. For instance, the health board have informed the ombudsman that blinds with ligatures were taken down in 2010, but we know of patients who tried to strangle themselves there later than that date, and they were in fact taken down in 2018. So, people were misled by their health board. In their own annual reports since 2012, Betsi Cadwaladr have told the board that they've had 1,021 referrals to the ombudsman. But, in a freedom of information response last week, the ombudsman confirmed that the correct figure was 1,579 - 500 more than they've declared publicly. But, most damningly, the Minister must also explain to us why it is that Betsi Cadwaladr has more recorded severe patient safety incidents recorded every year than the rest of Wales combined, and more deaths recorded in this one health board than the rest of Wales combined. According to the national reporting and learning system, there were 239 severe incidents and 12 deaths recorded between December 2020 and September 2021, while the figures for the whole of the rest of Wales were 113 severe incidents and eight deaths. Finally, we heard yesterday that now is not the time for costly reorganisation. I'm afraid that that's a naive and blinkered view. If reorganisation improves the health outcomes for the people of north Wales, then surely it should be considered. And how much more money has the Government had to spend on Betsi Cadwaladr because of special measures and targeted intervention since 2015? We need this solved sooner rather than later.
Welsh: Ond rwy'n drist i ddweud, yn ogystal â'r holl broblemau unigol y mae pawb ohonom yn ymwybodol ohonynt, rwy'n siŵr, ychydig iawn o ffydd sydd gennyf hefyd yn yr ystadegau a'r data a'r wybodaeth a ddarperir gan y bwrdd iechyd. Er enghraifft, rhoddodd y bwrdd iechyd wybod i'r ombwdsmon fod llenni â chlymiadau wedi'u tynnu yn 2010, ond gwyddom am gleifion a geisiodd dagu eu hunain yno wedi'r dyddiad hwnnw, ac fe'u tynnwyd yn 2018. Felly, cafodd pobl eu camarwain gan eu bwrdd iechyd. Yn eu hadroddiadau blynyddol eu hunain ers 2012, mae Betsi Cadwaladr wedi dweud wrth y bwrdd eu bod wedi cael 1,021 o atgyfeiriadau i'r ombwdsmon. Ond mewn ymateb rhyddid gwybodaeth yr wythnos diwethaf, cadarnhaodd yr ombwdsmon mai'r ffigur cywir oedd 1,579 - 500 yn fwy nag y maent wedi'i ddatgan yn gyhoeddus. Ond yn fwyaf damniol, rhaid i'r Gweinidog egluro wrthym hefyd pam fod Betsi Cadwaladr wedi cofnodi mwy o ddigwyddiadau diogelwch cleifion difrifol bob blwyddyn na gweddill Cymru gyda'i gilydd, a bod mwy o farwolaethau wedi'u cofnodi yn yr un bwrdd iechyd hwn na gweddill Cymru gyda'i gilydd. Yn ôl y system adrodd a dysgu genedlaethol, cofnodwyd 239 o ddigwyddiadau difrifol a chofnodwyd 12 o farwolaethau rhwng mis Rhagfyr 2020 a mis Medi 2021, tra bod y ffigurau ar gyfer gweddill Cymru gyfan yn 113 o ddigwyddiadau difrifol ac wyth marwolaeth. Yn olaf, clywsom ddoe nad dyma'r amser ar gyfer ad-drefnu costus. Mae arnaf ofn fod honno'n farn naïf ac anwybodus. Os bydd ad-drefnu'n gwella'r canlyniadau iechyd i bobl gogledd Cymru, dylid ei ystyried. A faint yn fwy o arian y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi gorfod ei wario ar Betsi Cadwaladr oherwydd mesurau arbennig ac ymyrraeth wedi'i thargedu ers 2015? Mae arnom angen datrys hyn yn gynt yn hytrach nag yn hwyrach.
