Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Dwi wedi bod yn glir bod rhaid i ni newid y ffordd rŷm ni'n darparu gofal iechyd i fenywod a merched yng Nghymru. Mae angen gwneud hynny fel eu bod nhw'n gallu cael y gofal yn brydlon, fel bod yr NHS yn ymateb i'w dewisiadau a'u anghenion nhw, ac fel bod gwaith ymchwil a datblygu yn adlewyrchu profiad byw menywod a merched. A dyna pam ein bod ni yma yng Nghymru wedi ymrwymo i ddod â’r...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Yes, okay.
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Thanks very much. I guess that's part of the reason why so many people are misdiagnosed or not diagnosed, because it is quite difficult to understand that. That's why I think training for doctors, for physicians, is critical. Endometriosis may be suspected due to an individual symptom history or through scans, but the invasive surgical procedure called laparoscopy is currently the main way...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Diolch yn fawr. I'm really grateful to Huw Irranca for introducing this incredibly important topic for the short debate today. I hope you get better, Huw. Thank you very much for highlighting the difficult cases that you have. I think it's absolutely right that it's not just women who are leading the charge on this—it's really important that men understand how this impacts on so many...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Thanks very much. Obviously, it's not my report to publish, it's HIW's report, and they're the people who determine the timescale on which that happens. Look, I acknowledge that there are still very, very serious problems, in particular in relation to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd and in particular in relation to the emergency department. That's why I've had serious discussions with the medical director...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Wel, dwi'n meddwl bod y Llywodraeth wedi gweithredu—rŷn ni wedi camu i mewn; rŷn ni wedi rhoi cyfle i'r bwrdd i weithredu, a beth welsom ni oedd ddim y math o welliannau y byddem ni'n disgwyl eu gweld. Dyw'r adroddiad yma ddim yn dderbyniol. Mae'r adroddiad yn canmol y staff i raddau. Mae rhai ohonyn nhw yn feirniadol o rai o'r staff ac mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n cadw llygad ar hynny achos...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Thanks very much. Obviously, I'm not happy with the progress that's happened in Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, and, obviously, I did have sight of this report prior to me putting them into special measures. I was very concerned, and it was one of the many factors that made me lead to that action that I took. Staffing is a real issue. It's not an issue just in Ysbyty Glan Clwyd; it's an issue throughout...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: The Healthcare Inspectorate Wales report notes the hard work and commitment of staff at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd's emergency department and there have been some encouraging improvements following the previous inspection. However, it is very disappointing that many of the issues have still not been fully resolved.
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Thanks very much. Well, just to note some of the access requirements, some of the things that we’re expecting them to do are to move away from that one approach that’s been there in the past, which is the face-to-face approach. So, we’re looking at blended models. We are looking to make sure that they are able to offer urgent, on-the-day appointments, and that they should also be giving...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Thanks very much, and you're quite right, and I'm going to just pay tribute to the receptionists who very often have a really tough time from the public. And, actually, I do hope that the public will be respectful to receptionists who have a very difficult job, especially when you consider that, in December, there were 400,000 contacts in one week, I think it was, to GP practices. So, this is...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Thanks very much, Mike. You're absolutely right; there are some GP practices that are performing much, much better than others when it comes to access. One of the things I've asked my officials to do now is to start getting a lot more granular in terms of where we are hearing the complaints over and over and over again. Because some are performing really well, and as I say, 89 per cent of...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Diolch yn fawr. Dwi'n meddwl ei bod hi'n bwysig i ni ystyried beth mae access yn ei olygu i bobl, beth yw eu profiad uniongyrchol nhw, felly diolch am gydnabod bod y gwaith ymchwil yna yn mynd ymlaen. Dwi'n meddwl bod rhaid inni efallai helpu pobl i ddeall bod beth sydd wedi digwydd yn hanesyddol o ran cael access at GP ddim o reidrwydd y ffordd bydd pethau’n gweithio yn y dyfodol, yn...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Diolch yn fawr. You'll know that, in relation to access to GPs, we've done a huge amount of work on that over the past few years. In fact, we had some access standards set out, and I'm pleased to say that 89 per cent of GP surgeries are already achieving the access standards that we set out. Those access standards include a commitment to make sure that what is offered by GP surgeries, for...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Ym maes optometreg, rydym ni eisoes yn ehangu'r ddarpariaeth â ffocws clinigol mewn gofal sylfaenol. Mae hynny'n cael ei wneud drwy symud rhai gwasanaethau gofal llygad o'r ysbyty i'r gymuned, lle mae gweithlu medrus ar gael i ateb y galw cynyddol. Cyn bod rhai elfennau o'r diwygio yn gallu dod i rym, bydd angen gwneud newidiadau i'r rheoliadau, ac, wrth gwrs, fe fyddwn ni yn ymgynghori ar y...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Lywydd. Today, I am pleased to provide an update on our programme for government commitment to delivering better access to doctors, nurses, dentists and other health professionals in primary care services. At the outset, I think it is important to acknowledge that the demand for primary care services outstrips capacity, which undoubtedly provides a challenge in terms...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Bob dydd, rwy'n gofyn i mi fy hun a allaf fi barhau i wneud y swydd ddi-ddiolch hon. Ond bob dydd, rwy'n sylweddoli bod gennyf rywbeth i'w gynnig, sef fy mod i'n malio. Rwyf am ddarparu'r gwasanaeth iechyd a gofal gorau posibl i bobl Cymru. Rwyf eisiau i'n GIG yng Nghymru lwyddo. Lywydd, fy mraint fydd aros yn Weinidog iechyd cyhyd â bod gennyf gefnogaeth a hyder y Prif Weinidog. Mae'n...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Mae bod yn Weinidog iechyd ar ôl pandemig yn waith tu hwnt o anodd, yn arbennig pan nad yw’r adnoddau ar gael ar ôl blynyddoedd o gynni o ganlyniad i gamweithredu gan y Torïaid. Dwi wedi cymryd camau penderfynol o ran ymyrryd ym mwrdd iechyd Betsi Cadwaladr, a dwi ddim yn mynd i ddilyn awgrym Plaid Cymru i ailstrwythuro a chynnal ymchwiliad cyhoeddus fydd yn costio miliynau, yn cymryd...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Na, nid wyf yn ildio. Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i fynd i'r afael â pheth o'r rhethreg ffug sy'n cael ei thaflu o gwmpas gan y Ceidwadwyr heddiw—ein bod wedi pleidleisio i dorri gwariant ar y GIG. Flynyddoedd lawer yn ôl, do, fe wnaethom ailddosbarthu cyllid iechyd i ofal cymdeithasol, ac mae unrhyw un sy'n gwybod unrhyw beth am iechyd yn gwybod pa mor gwbl angenrheidiol yw ystyried...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Heddiw, mae'n gwneud ei orau glas i'n perswadio na wnaeth gamarwain ASau yn fwriadol ynghylch yr holl bartïon yn Rhif 10 yn ystod y cyfyngiadau symud. Mae'r dechneg hon, galw am bleidlais o ddiffyg hyder, wedi dod yn weithred ddiobaith i dynnu sylw gan wrthbleidiau nad ydynt yn gallu sefyll dros bobl Cymru. Rydych yn gofyn am atebolrwydd; dyma fi heddiw, fel rwy'n ei wneud bob wythnos. A...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Lywydd, nid yw'n waith hawdd bod yn Weinidog iechyd ar ôl pandemig pan aeth y rhestrau aros i fyny'n aruthrol ym mhobman a gadawodd cyni'r Torïaid ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn fregus a gadawyd ein poblogaeth hŷn, salach a thlotach yn fwy diobaith nag erioed. Ond rwyf wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu'r gwasanaeth iechyd gorau posibl i bobl Cymru, ac rwy'n benderfynol o gefnogi ein staff iechyd a...
