Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:28 pm on 10 October 2017.
May I ask for a statement from the health Secretary in response to the figures that have been revealed that a quarter of all beds in community hospitals in north Wales now have dementia patients in them—almost half of the beds in Eryri, in Caernarfon, 14 in Holywell, and 18 in Llandudno? Delayed transfers of care have led to patients waiting, in some cases, for up to 145 days—almost five months—before they are released, for example, from Chirk hospital, 102 in Deeside hospital, 120 in Bryn Beryl, and 107 in Alltwen. Work by the community health council in north Wales has demonstrated that the situation has deteriorated over the past 12 months, and hasn’t improved. The Betsi Cadwaladr University Local Health Board, of course, is in special measures and has been for two and a half years. Bearing that in mind, I need an explanation as to whether the Government now takes responsibility for this entirely unacceptable situation.
A gaf i hefyd ofyn i'r Prif Weinidog fynegi ein diolch i Chris Coleman am bopeth y mae ef a'i dîm rheoli wedi ei gyflawni dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf? Byddwn i gyd, wrth gwrs, yn deall yn iawn os bydd yn dewis chwilio am her newydd, ond a allai'r Prif Weinidog bwysleisio wrtho mai barn y mwyafrif llethol o chwaraewyr Cymru, cefnogwyr Cymru a chenedl Cymru yw y dylai barhau yn rheolwr tîm Cymru a'n harwain trwy'r gemau rhagbrofol ar gyfer Ewro 2020?
