English: Thank you for the comments and the questions. I recognised some time ago that endometriosis was a common condition that is not commonly talked about or recognised. As you say, approximately one in 10 women, we understand, will be affected by it during their lifetime. So, it's not an uncommon condition, and there's a challenge about where we do need speciality and where there's a role for the general service on a condition that is this common. That was one of the reasons why I decided to create the women's health group to look at a couple of particular issues where most of the attention and people affected are women. So, the first two issues that that group's been considering are mesh and tape for vaginal prolapse and endometriosis - those being the first two issues. Now, I take the view that, if conditions that were that common had affected men, they probably wouldn't have waited this long to have been highlighted and had a plan of action. So, I've created the group to bring together appropriate speciality and focus on those issues, and I've just directed that group to also consider the report from the faecal incontinence group - the report of Julie Cornish has been received, and I've directed the women's health group to look at that as well. It's then about making sure that the learning from each of those areas, including endometriosis, actually leads to improvement across the service, because these are not uncommon conditions, so I expect the service to deal with them - so, a limited number of conditions, to see improvement. But I expect there'll be more areas of activity as we move forward and as I hope we can resolve what looks like a proper improvement plan in each of the three areas that the group is currently considering.
Welsh: Diolch am y sylwadau a'r cwestiynau. Fe wnes i gydnabod beth amser yn ôl bod endometriosis yn gyflwr cyffredin sydd ddim yn cael llawer o sylw na chydnabyddiaeth. Fel y dywedwch, rydym yn ddeall y bydd yn effeithio ar tua un o bob 10 o fenywod yn ystod eu hoes. Felly, nid yw'n gyflwr anghyffredin, ac mae her ynghylch lle mae angen arbenigedd arnom a lle mae rhan i'w chwarae gan y gwasanaeth cyffredinol o ran cyflwr sydd mor gyffredin â hwn. Dyna oedd un o'r rhesymau pam y penderfynais i greu'r grŵp iechyd menywod i edrych ar gwpl o faterion penodol sy'n effeithio'n bennaf ar fenywod. Felly, y ddau fater cyntaf y mae'r grŵp hwnnw wedi bod yn eu hystyried yw rhwyll a thâp ar gyfer prolaps y wain ac endometriosis - y rheini oedd y ddau fater cyntaf. Nawr, rwyf fi o'r farn, pe bai cyflyrau mor gyffredin â hynny wedi effeithio ar ddynion, na fydden nhw yn ôl pob tebyg wedi aros cyhyd i gael sylw a chynllun gweithredu. Felly, rwyf wedi creu'r grŵp i ddwyn ynghyd arbenigedd priodol ac i ganolbwyntio ar y materion hynny, ac rwyf newydd gyfarwyddo'r grŵp hwnnw hefyd i ystyried yr adroddiad gan y grŵp anymataliaeth ysgarthol - mae adroddiad Julie Cornish wedi cael ei dderbyn, ac rwyf wedi cyfarwyddo'r grŵp iechyd menywod i edrych ar hynny hefyd. Mae'n fater o wneud yn siŵr bod yr hyn yr ydym ni'n ei ddysgu o bob un o'r meysydd hynny, gan gynnwys endometriosis, yn wir yn arwain at welliant ar draws y gwasanaeth, oherwydd nid yw'r rhain yn gyflyrau anghyffredin, felly rwy'n disgwyl i'r gwasanaeth ymdrin â nhw - felly, nifer cyfyngedig o gyflyrau, i weld gwelliant. Ond rwy'n disgwyl y bydd mwy o feysydd gweithgarwch wrth inni symud ymlaen, a gobeithio y gallwn benderfynu ar gynllun gwella sy'n ymddangos yn briodol ym mhob un o'r tri maes y mae'r grŵp yn eu hystyried ar hyn o bryd.
