Anghydraddoldebau iechyd meddwl: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Ganolfan Iechyd Meddwl a Chymdeithas ym Mhrifysgol Bangor, Platfform a Seicolegwyr dros Newid Cymdeithasol
Just one very simple one: how do we compare in prescribing with countries like in Scandinavia?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. We have heard a strong link between antidepressant prescribing and poverty. We've heard that GPs feel they've got nothing else to offer people to manage their despair. But is it any surprise that people who are struggling to feed their…

Datganiad a Chyhoeddiad Busnes
Hoffwn i ofyn am ddau ddatganiad gan y Llywodraeth. Yn gyntaf, yr oedd llawer o fy etholwyr yn pryderu o ddifrif ynghylch sylw a wnaeth Jacob Rees-Mogg am ddyfodol yr Asiantaeth Trwyddedu Gyrwyr a Cherbydau yn Abertawe. Hoffwn i bwysleisio pwysigrwydd y DVLA…

I've been very impressed by Musical Memories, which has been used both in homes but also in community centres, which really does have a tremendous effect and beneficial effect on elderly people. Although, I was very disappointed to discover that ABBA was in a…

I think everything, really, if we're taking about them—. We talk about money, we talk about everything else, but really it's the citizen, it's the person in the care home who is the most important part of the system. Are you seeing, during all these changes…

It certainly does, Helen, and I think that we've seen, haven't we, in rough numbers, that it's gone from about 95 per cent local authority, 5 per cent private sector, to about 5 per cent local authority and 95 per cent private sector. I have views on it that…

Hello, Helen. I'm coming on from where Natasha stopped. We know—in fact, you mentioned it earlier—about the increasing complexity of conditions, and we've got comorbidities. Is enough being done to anticipate and plan for dealing with this in the short and…

No. Just really leading on from what you've just said there, what role should Care Forum Wales play in co-ordinating the information from providers?

But if you go into a standard spending assessment, it goes down in detail on large numbers of different areas, so perhaps I'd just ask you if you could provide that. The question I want to ask is on performance information. I'm a great believer in performance…

I don't expect you to be able to answer this question now, but could you write to us and tell us, through you, Chair, of any local authority spending less than the standard spending assessment allocation on care?

Can I just pick up on some of the things you've just said? You talk about local authorities not spending at capacity in terms of their rate support grant, but the rate support grant is not the whole income had by local authorities. You're right to say 'almost…

That's partly because my voice started to go as well, so that was mainly my fault rather than yours. Do you support regional partnership boards being put on a statutory footing?

Comisiynu Cartrefi Gofal i Bobl Hŷn: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
I won't pursue that. I was very happy with the old system, where local authorities provided virtually all services. But, the question I want to ask is: what is Care Forum Wales's position on the policy question of whether regional partnership boards should be…

Comisiynu Cartrefi Gofal i Bobl Hŷn: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
I don't disagree with that. I have a fear of large national bodies. You talked about the problem of a postcode lottery. We don't have a postcode lottery with the ambulance service—everybody gets a bad service. And I do have concerns that, if you have one big…

Thank you, Natasha. How does Care Forum Wales work with the regional partnership boards to help develop market capacity and the problems on borders? I mean, Ystalyfera and Ystradgynlais—you cross a little bridge and you've moved counties. And I would argue…

Dyna rwy’n ei ddweud bob amser, Jack Sargeant. Dylid nodi bod hyn i gyd yn digwydd er bod rhenti preifat ar draws y DU wedi codi lawer llai dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf na phob mesur o chwyddiant. A gaf fi gytuno â’r Ceidwadwyr ar un peth? Mae gormod o eiddo…
