English: Thank you for the question. I think it's a helpful opportunity to clarify the point and the purpose of the board, because the board isn't going to be a representational board, made up of different interest groups. If we do that, we'll have different groups fighting and competing with each other, rather than actually having a board with sufficient expertise to actually undertake the workforce planning and function of Health Education and Improvement Wales. If I have a nursing representative, I'll have a lobby for a doctor's representative, we'll have a lobby for consultants and primary care clinicians to have different representatives, and allied healthcare professionals and others. That's the wrong way to look at it. We'll quickly get into a position where to fulfil all those separate needs we'd need a board that would be significantly bigger, and board meetings would be mini conferences. My expectation is that Health Education and Improvement Wales will be able to acquire, in its chief executive, its senior officers and the independent members of the board, sufficient expertise to help the health service to properly understand workforce planning, by bringing together the different disparate bodies, which both the Evans and Williams reports recognise exist, into a more coherent whole. And that's the point of the creation of Health Education and Improvement Wales. It is being set up on a proper basis in which the chair, after my initial appointment, will go through a proper public appointments process, and that should guarantee for Members on all sides the quality and also the independence of those members in undertaking this challenge and their functions for all of us.
Welsh: Diolch am y cwestiwn. Credaf fod hwn yn gyfle defnyddiol i egluro diben a phwrpas y bwrdd, gan nad yw'r bwrdd yn mynd i fod yn fwrdd cynrychiadol, wedi ei lunio o wahanol grwpiau buddiant. Pe baem yn gwneud hynny, bydd gennym grwpiau gwahanol yn ymladd ac yn cystadlu â'i gilydd, yn hytrach na chael bwrdd gyda digon o arbenigedd i ymgymryd â'r gwaith o gynllunio'r gweithlu a swyddogaeth Addysg a Gwella Iechyd Cymru. Pe bai gennyf gynrychiolydd nyrsio, byddai gennyf lobi am gynrychiolydd meddygon, byddai gennym lobi am wahanol gynrychiolwyr ar gyfer meddygon ymgynghorol a chlinigwyr gofal sylfaenol, a gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd ac eraill. Dyna'r ffordd anghywir o fynd o'i chwmpas. Cyn hir, byddem mewn sefyllfa lle y byddai angen bwrdd mwy o lawer arnom er mwyn bodloni'r holl anghenion gwahanol hynny, a byddai cyfarfodydd y bwrdd yn troi'n gynadleddau bychain. Rwy'n disgwyl y bydd modd i Addysg a Gwella Iechyd Cymru gaffael digon o arbenigedd, drwy eu prif weithredwr, eu huwch swyddogion ac aelodau annibynnol y bwrdd, i gynorthwyo'r gwasanaeth iechyd i ddeall yn iawn y broses o gynllunio'r gweithlu, drwy ddod â'r gwahanol gyrff, y cydnabu adroddiadau Evans a Williams eu bod yn bodoli, at ei gilydd i greu cyfangorff mwy cydlynol. A dyna yw diben Addysg a Gwella Iechyd Cymru. Mae'n cael ei sefydlu ar sail briodol lle y bydd y cadeirydd, ar ôl mi wneud fy mhenodiad cychwynnol, yn mynd drwy broses benodi gyhoeddus briodol, a dylai hynny roi sicrwydd i'r Aelodau ar bob ochr ynglŷn ag ansawdd yn ogystal ag annibyniaeth yr aelodau hynny wrth iddynt ymgymryd â'r her hon a'u swyddogaethau ar ran pob un ohonom.
