English: Well, I think because of the nature of care services and that personal face-to-face contact that is so crucial to the service, then, certainly, skills and recruitment are a crucial issue. The statistics that we hold - Government statistics - do demonstrate that there's been no increase in the number of doctors who are able to speak Welsh over the previous few years. So, in terms of Welsh language skills in the sector, certainly there is an issue. So, one of the things that we have done to publish, last year, a report that mapped out the training and education available in order to create a bilingual primary care workforce. What we did as part of that work was to look at the Welsh language provision of HE institutions in Wales, to look at the number of students who are able to speak Welsh and also the number who are studying through the medium of Welsh. And, again, I won't go into too much detail on that research, but I'm certainly happy to share that report with you. But one of the main messages was that the training pathways are insufficient at the moment to create a bilingual workforce, and that was particularly true in terms of the data that we gathered in areas such as dentistry, optometry and health visitors. So, there is an issue there in terms of education and our ability to create and train the practitioners who have the necessary skills through the medium of Welsh. Now, these duties don't tackle difficult issues such as those, but they still exist, and these regulations and duties are only one part of the jigsaw. There are far broader, more complex issues that still need to be considered and still need to be resolved.
Welsh: Wel, dwi'n meddwl, oherwydd natur gwasanaethau gofal a'r gwasanaeth personol, wyneb-yn-wyneb sydd mor greiddiol i'r gwasanaeth, yna, yn sicr, mae sgiliau a recriwtio'n hanfodol. Mae'r ystadegau sydd gennym ni - ystadegau'r Llywodraeth - yn dangos nad oes yna gynnydd wedi bod yn niferoedd y meddygon sy'n gallu siarad Cymraeg dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Felly, o safbwynt sgiliau Cymraeg yn y sector, yn sicr mae yna issue. Felly, un o'r pethau dŷn ni wedi gwneud ydy, y llynedd, fe wnaethom ni gyhoeddi adroddiad a oedd yn mapio allan yr hyfforddiant, yr addysg sydd ar gael er mwyn creu gweithlu gofal sylfaenol dwyieithog. Beth wnaethom ni fel rhan o'r gwaith yna oedd edrych ar ddarpariaeth Gymraeg sefydliadau addysg uwch yng Nghymru, edrych ar nifer y myfyrwyr sy'n gallu siarad Cymraeg, a hefyd y nifer sy'n astudio drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Ac, eto, af i ddim i fanylder ynglŷn â'r ymchwil yna rŵan, ond, yn sicr, dwi'n hapus iawn i rannu'r adroddiad efo chi. Ond un o'r prif negeseuon oedd nad ydy'r llwybrau hyfforddi'n ddigonol ar hyn o bryd i greu gweithlu dwyieithog, ac roedd hynny'n arbennig o wir o'r data gwnaethom ni ei gasglu ynglŷn â meysydd fel deintyddion, optegwyr, ymwelwyr iechyd. Felly, mae yna issue yn fanna o ran yr addysg a'n gallu ni i gynhyrchu ymarferwyr sydd efo'r sgiliau angenrheidiol drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Rŵan, dydy'r dyletswyddau yma ddim yn mynd i'r afael â materion anodd fel yna, ond maen nhw dal yn bodoli, ac un darn o'r jig-so, mewn gwirionedd, ydy'r rheoliadau a'r dyletswyddau yma. Mae yna issues anoddach, ehangach sydd dal angen eu hystyried a dal angen eu datrys.
