We will do that. As soon as we get information and we're in a position to do so, then absolutely we will.

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
There's a reason why not, because we didn't receive this letter at that point. Now we've got the response from the Department of Health and Social Care to our concerns, we'll be able to assess that fully and then—. All I can say at the moment is 'in due…

Fel dwi'n dweud, fel mae'n sefyll, dwi ddim yn meddwl bod yna ddisgwyliad fod yna bwysau ychwanegol yn mynd i fod ar ddarpariaeth gwasanaethau o Gymru i gleifion sydd yn dod o Loegr. Dyw hwnna ddim yn edrych fel bod hwnna'n mynd i fod yn ganlyniad i'r Bil…

Well, again, for people in Wales, just to give that assurance and confidence, this won't impact on outcomes or on ability to receive treatment or on the commissioning. It's an internal organisational issue for England that won't change things for people in…

In what respect?

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
That's our hope, yes. There's nothing to suggest at the moment that it won't be fit for purpose. The legal frameworks that we have are pretty solid at the moment, they've worked well over the last number of years, although there might be political questions…

So, assessments have been made of any potential financial implications and we don't foresee any financial implications for the NHS in Wales or Welsh Government.

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
So, as I said, as the Bill progresses, officials keep in contact with officials in England so there's an understanding and a continuity there.
8 Hydref 2026 , Health and Social Care Committee
Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Yes, so—. Thanks, Claire. We've got to monitor the Bill as it progresses now, making sure that it doesn't impact on Welsh patients. We'll continue to assess any of the implications that might arise from abolishing NHS England and any consequential service…

Sorry. I'll answer in English. I’m so sorry, Jayne. When the commissioning body or the organisation that commissions the service asks for that service to be provided, then they're in charge of the patient; that will continue, and responsibility will lie with…

Wyt. Mae hwnna'n bwynt teg. Unwaith eto, bydd Llais yn parhau i fod yn gorff sy'n cynrychioli ac yn eirioli ar ran cleifion Cymru. Mae'r hyn maen nhw'n gwneud gyda Healthwatch yn Lloegr yn fater i Loegr; bydd e ddim yn effeithio ar gleifion yng Nghymru. Eto…

Dwi'n meddwl, ar hynny, mae hwnna'n gwestiwn teg ac mae yna gwestiwn ehangach yn fanna, onid oes, o ran y drefn bresennol: ydy pobl yn ymwybodol o'r system atebolrwydd sydd gennym ni mewn lle? Hwyrach bod hwnna'n rhywbeth y byddech chi'n dymuno edrych arno yn…

Felly, byddaf i'n ailadrodd fy ateb, achos y sicrwydd yna rwyt ti a chleifion yn mynd i chwilio amdano. Dwi'n gwybod bod Alex eisiau dod i mewn, ac mae Alex efo dyfnder o ddealltwriaeth ar hyn.

Mae hwn yn cyffwrdd â chwestiwn Claire ynghynt, a dwi'n meddwl eu bod nhw'n gyfres o gwestiynau teg iawn, achos dyna beth mae cleifion yng Nghymru yn mynd i eisiau gwybod. Byddan nhw eisiau cael y sicrwydd yna, pa bynnag drefn newydd sy'n dod i mewn i rym yn…

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
—as things stand. But the system that—. Let's say there's a patient from Wales receiving treatment in Wales, and something goes wrong, then there are escalation frameworks in place, where they're allowed to go through, as I said, Llais. There are systems in…

Sorry, in what sense?
8 Hydref 2026 , Health and Social Care Committee
Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
So, once again, there are frameworks in place already, ensuring that patients from Wales can escalate concerns and have access to advocacy. So, we've got Llais in Wales already, and they will still have the ability to represent patients in Wales, even though…

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
And especially as we have so many patients from Wales being treated in England. And there are services that we can provide here. So, moving forward to the future, it's certainly something we need to look at.
8 Hydref 2026 , Health and Social Care Committee
Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Yes.

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Again, in the response we've had today, I've just scanned it, but there's a part there saying that the UK Government are willing to work with us, if we want, as a Welsh Government, to look at how they can allow that provision of interoperability between the…

I remember when we first saw this when it came on my desk, that was one of the major concerns I had, and one of the questions I asked was, 'How can we allow this to happen, whereby the UK Government would be allowed to overrule the Welsh Government in this…
