English: We obviously have to get citizens more involved in looking after themselves rather than clogging up our GP surgeries with sore throats, for example, when they could easily self-medicate. But I just wanted to speak about the visits that I had with you to Pearce and Bowler Opticians in Pentwyn, where Clare Pearce and Francesca Bowler have piloted a real-time imaging connection with the Health hospital to enable the consultant in the hospital to instantly see the patient's eye, who may or may not have a macular disorder, which might need urgent treatment, or maybe not. That seems to be a fantastic innovation that enables more people not to have to go to hospital unless it's absolutely necessary. We want people to be going to hospital because they've got a life-threatening condition that needs to be treated immediately. So, I think that was a fantastic example of innovation that we could be pushing forward on, I hope, in other parts of Wales. Tomorrow is World Obesity Day and I'm horrified to read that adult obesity is going to go up from 27 per cent to 34 per cent if we do nothing about it, and we clearly need to change the conversation with citizens if we are going to prevent the collapse of our health service, which is under pressure from increases in cancers and diabetes and other conditions that are related to obesity. I welcome the virtual review that's gone on of hip and knee appointments, which has reduced massively the numbers of people who need to be seen by a consultant. When there was a flurry of activity around excessive waiting times for operations just before the end of recess, it was obvious to me that Cwm Taf had consistently not had a problem over several years, so I wondered how the Cabinet Secretary is ensuring that best practice, which appears to be present in Cwm Taf, is being rolled out across the rest of the health boards to ensure that we're doing the right thing to ensure that people aren't waiting longer than they need to, and that we're eliminating unnecessary consultations from the system.
Welsh: Mae'n amlwg bod yn rhaid inni gael mwy o ddinasyddion i ofalu amdanyn nhw eu hunain yn hytrach na thagu ein meddygfeydd â dolur gwddf, er enghraifft, pan allant gymryd moddion eu hunain yn hawdd. Ond roeddwn i eisiau siarad am yr ymweliadau a gefais gydag Optegwyr Pearce a Bowler ym Mhentwyn, lle mae Clare Pearce a Francesca Bowler wedi treialu cysylltiad delweddu amser real gyda'r ysbyty Iechyd er mwyn galluogi'r ymgynghorydd yn yr ysbyty i weld llygad y claf, a allai fod ag anhwylder macwlaidd neu efallai ddim, a allai fod angen triniaeth frys, neu efallai ddim. Mae'n ymddangos ei fod yn beilot arloesi gwych sy'n galluogi mwy o bobl i beidio â gorfod mynd i'r ysbyty oni bai ei fod yn hollol angenrheidiol. Rydym eisiau i bobl fynd i'r ysbyty os oes ganddyn nhw gyflwr difrifol sy'n fygythiad i fywyd ac y mae angen ei drin ar unwaith. Felly, credaf fod hynny'n enghraifft wych o arloesedd y gallem fod yn ei wthio, rwy'n gobeithio, mewn rhannau eraill o Gymru. Yfory yw Diwrnod Gordewdra'r Byd ac mae'n fy nychryn i ddarllen y bydd gordewdra oedolion yn codi o 27 y cant i 34 y cant os na wnawn ni rywbeth yn ei gylch. Mae'n amlwg bod angen i ni newid y sgwrs gyda dinasyddion os ydym yn mynd i atal cwymp ein gwasanaeth iechyd, sydd dan bwysau oherwydd y cynnydd mewn canserau a diabetes a chyflyrau eraill sy'n gysylltiedig â gordewdra. Rwy'n croesawu'r adolygiad rhithwir sydd wedi digwydd ar apwyntiadau clun a phen-glin, sydd wedi lleihau'n sylweddol nifer y bobl y mae angen i ymgynghorydd eu gweld. Pan gafwyd bwrlwm o weithgarwch yn ymwneud ag amseroedd aros gormodol am lawdriniaethau ychydig cyn diwedd y toriad, roedd yn amlwg i mi nad oedd Cwm Taf wedi cael problem yn gyson dros nifer o flynyddoedd. Felly tybed sut mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn sicrhau bod arfer gorau, yr ymddengys ei fod yn bresennol yng Nghwm Taf, yn cael ei gyflwyno ar draws gweddill y byrddau iechyd i sicrhau ein bod ni'n gwneud y peth iawn i sicrhau nad yw pobl yn aros am fwy nag sy'n rhaid, a'n bod ni'n dileu ymgynghoriadau diangen o'r system.
