English: I'm grateful to the Deputy Minister for her answer. The health Minister himself will be aware of a very distressing individual case that's been brought to me from a family in my region. The gentleman had very complex care needs and an agreed package for him to be able to released from hospital to go home under continuing healthcare. The collapse of Allied Healthcare Ltd led to a situation where the care package that was provided for him at home was unsustainable and, in fact, dangerous. He was then readmitted to hospital. There's been a whole history - and I will happily copy the correspondence to the Deputy Minister - around this, because there has been a whole catalogue of issues that have led to the gentleman being readmitted now, after six months of this, to acute hospital. I'm wondering if the Deputy Minister will undertake today to make an assessment of how many patients have been affected across Wales by the collapse of Allied Healthcare Ltd. It is, after all, now 12 months since the financial warnings were first made and six months since the company actually collapsed. So, I'd like to know how many patients in Wales have been affected by this. I'm sure that my constituent won't be the only one, unfortunately. Can the Deputy Minister please undertake to investigate how many of these patients still lack an adequate care package and whether that's meant that they're at home and are not receiving the care package they should have, or whether that's meant that perhaps they're inappropriately being placed in residential care? Could I ask the Deputy Minister, with the Minister, to undertake to look at the effects of this, potentially, on district nursing teams? In this particular individual case, the district nursing team did their best to step into the gap, but that simply wasn't possible. And can the Deputy Minister undertake to have discussions with the Hywel Dda health board - but there may be others across Wales - and the relevant local authorities, to look at what work they're doing to replace the specialist care packages that have been lost by the collapse of Allied Healthcare Ltd? And finally, does the Deputy Minister agree with me that this particular case highlights the risk of depending on private sector companies to provide these extremely important care packages for some of our most vulnerable citizens? Will she undertake to work with local health boards and local authorities to develop more alternative and sustainable models so that no other patient will have to put up with, and no other family will have to put up with, what this family and this gentleman have gone through?
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Dirprwy Weinidog am ei hateb. Bydd y Gweinidog iechyd ei hun yn ymwybodol o achos unigol torcalonnus a godwyd gyda mi gan deulu yn fy rhanbarth. Roedd gan y gŵr anghenion gofal cymhleth iawn a phecyn wedi'i gytuno i allu ei ryddhau o'r ysbyty i fynd adref o dan ofal iechyd parhaus. Arweiniodd methiant Allied Healthcare Ltd at sefyllfa lle roedd y pecyn gofal a ddarparwyd iddo yn ei gartref yn anghynaliadwy, ac mewn gwirionedd, yn beryglus. Yna, cafodd ei aildderbyn i'r ysbyty. Mae hon wedi bod yn stori hir - ac rwy'n fwy na pharod i anfon copi o'r ohebiaeth at y Dirprwy Weinidog - gan fod cyfres gyfan o broblemau wedi arwain at aildderbyn y gŵr, ar ôl chwe mis o hyn, i ysbyty acíwt. Tybed a wnaiff y Dirprwy Weinidog ymrwymo heddiw i gynnal asesiad o faint o gleifion sydd wedi cael eu heffeithio ledled Cymru gan fethiant Allied Healthcare Ltd. Wedi'r cyfan, mae 12 mis wedi bod bellach ers y rhybuddion ariannol cyntaf a chwech mis ers i'r cwmni fynd i'r wal. Felly, hoffwn wybod faint o gleifion yng Nghymru yr effeithiwyd arnynt gan hyn. Rwy'n siŵr nad fy etholwr fydd yr unig un, yn anffodus. A wnaiff y Dirprwy Weinidog ymrwymo i ymchwilio i weld faint o'r cleifion hyn sydd heb becyn gofal digonol o hyd ac a yw hynny'n golygu eu bod gartref a ddim yn derbyn y pecyn gofal a ddylai fod ganddynt, neu a yw hynny'n golygu efallai eu bod yn cael eu lleoli yn amhriodol mewn gofal preswyl? A gaf fi ofyn i'r Dirprwy Weinidog, gyda'r Gweinidog, ymrwymo i edrych ar effeithiau hyn, o bosibl, ar dimau nyrsys ardal? Yn yr achos penodol hwn, gwnaeth y tîm nyrsys ardal eu gorau i gamu i'r adwy, ond nid oedd hynny'n bosibl. Ac a all y Dirprwy Weinidog ymrwymo i gynnal trafodaethau gyda bwrdd iechyd Hywel Dda - ond efallai y bydd eraill ledled Cymru - a'r awdurdodau lleol perthnasol, i edrych ar y gwaith y maent yn ei wneud i gael darpariaeth yn lle'r pecynnau gofal arbenigol a gollwyd o ganlyniad i fethiant Allied Healthcare Ltd? Ac yn olaf, a yw'r Dirprwy Weinidog yn cytuno â mi fod yr achos penodol hwn yn tynnu sylw at y risg o ddibynnu ar gwmnïau'r sector preifat i ddarparu'r pecynnau gofal hynod bwysig hyn i rai o'n dinasyddion mwyaf agored i niwed? A wnaiff hi ymrwymo i weithio gyda byrddau iechyd lleol ac awdurdodau lleol i ddatblygu modelau mwy amgen a chynaliadwy fel na fydd yn rhaid i unrhyw glaf arall ddioddef ac fel na fydd yn rhaid i unrhyw deulu arall ddioddef yr hyn y mae'r teulu hwn a'r gŵr hwn wedi ei brofi?
