English: Llywydd, I thank David Rees for that. Just to say again, I hugely appreciate the human cost that there is for families and for residents in not being able to see one another at times in their lives where that human contact means so much to them. But Mr Rees referred to care homes in Wales where there is no COVID in circulation, and three quarters of all the care homes in Wales have not reported a single confirmed case. But there are only two ways, really, in which coronavirus could get into a home where there is no coronavirus at the moment. One is it is brought in by a member of staff, and the second is that it is brought in by a visitor. So, the rules that we have had in place are absolutely there to protect care home residents from the devastating effect that coronavirus can have in a home that has elderly people with underlying health conditions living in close proximity to one another. Week after week, Llywydd, in these sessions, we have had to stare at those very, very sobering figures of the number of people who have died in care homes in Wales. So, Mr Heaney's letter, which went out on 5 June, does advise care homes about how they can do more to allow visits from family and friends to care home residents in circumstances that minimise that risk. Care homes are able to do that under the current regulations; it doesn't require a change in regulations to be able to do the additional things that Albert Heaney is advising. As David Rees said, there are many, many care homes in Wales that are already doing hugely imaginative things to try and bridge the gap between what was possible before and what has been possible during the pandemic. We have a group working on that further guidance. It meets again tomorrow. We want to be able to do more to allow families to have contact with people in care homes, but we can only judge it against the real risk, the risk we have seen from the number of deaths that have taken place, of what the virus does if it does get into a care home where, up until now, all those efforts have succeeded in keeping it at bay.
Welsh: Lywydd, diolch i David Rees am hynny. Hoffwn ddweud unwaith eto, rwy'n llwyr sylweddoli'r gost bersonol i deuluoedd ac i breswylwyr o ganlyniad i fethu gweld ei gilydd ar adegau yn eu bywydau pan fo'r cyswllt personol hwnnw'n golygu cymaint iddynt. Ond cyfeiriodd Mr Rees at gartrefi gofal yng Nghymru lle nad oes achosion o COVID, ac nid oes unrhyw achos wedi'i gadarnhau yn nhri chwarter yr holl gartrefi gofal yng Nghymru. Ond dim ond mewn dwy ffordd, mewn gwirionedd, y gall coronafeirws fynd i mewn i gartref lle nad oes coronafeirws ar hyn o bryd. Un yw ei fod yn cael ei gyflwyno gan aelod o staff, a'r ail yw bod ymwelydd yn ei gyflwyno. Felly, mae'r rheolau a roddwyd ar waith gennym yno'n bendant i ddiogelu preswylwyr cartrefi gofal rhag yr effaith ddinistriol y gall coronafeirws ei chael mewn cartref sydd â phobl oedrannus â chyflyrau iechyd sy'n bodoli eisoes yn byw yn agos at ei gilydd. Wythnos ar ôl wythnos, Lywydd, yn y sesiynau hyn, rydym wedi gorfod syllu ar y ffigurau difrifol iawn sy'n gysylltiedig â nifer y bobl sydd wedi marw mewn cartrefi gofal yng Nghymru. Felly, mae llythyr Mr Heaney, a gyhoeddwyd ar 5 Mehefin, yn cynghori cartrefi gofal sut y gallant wneud mwy i ganiatáu ymweliadau gan deulu a ffrindiau â phreswylwyr cartrefi gofal mewn amgylchiadau sy'n lleihau'r risg honno. Gall cartrefi gofal wneud hynny o dan y rheoliadau cyfredol; nid oes angen newid rheoliadau i allu gwneud y pethau ychwanegol y mae Albert Heaney yn eu cynghori. Fel y dywedodd David Rees, mae llawer iawn o gartrefi gofal yng Nghymru eisoes yn gwneud pethau hynod ddychmygus i geisio pontio'r bwlch rhwng yr hyn a oedd yn bosibl o'r blaen a'r hyn sydd wedi bod bosibl yn ystod y pandemig. Mae gennym grŵp yn gweithio ar y canllawiau pellach hynny. Mae'n cyfarfod eto yfory. Rydym yn awyddus i allu gwneud mwy i ganiatáu i deuluoedd gael cyswllt â phobl mewn cartrefi gofal, ond mae'n rhaid inni fesur hynny yn erbyn y risg wirioneddol, y risg rydym wedi'i gweld o'r nifer o farwolaethau a fu, o'r hyn y mae'r feirws yn ei wneud os yw'n mynd i mewn i gartref gofal lle mae'r holl ymdrechion hyd yma wedi llwyddo i'w gadw draw.
