Treatment for Eating Disorders in Wales

The Delivery of Public Services / Darparu Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus

C9 Bethan Jenkins: Will the Minister make a statement on the delivery of public services in south Wales? OAQ(3)0058(FPS)

Andrew Davies: Thanks to our investment and to all those working in public services, there has been a substantial improvement in the delivery of those services. We now have the ‘One Wales’ partnership programme, which gives us a further opportunity to develop the sustained improvement of the whole public service delivery system throughout our country.

Bethan Jenkins: Last week, as part of channel 5's news programme, I had the honour of meeting Ali Valenzuela from Swansea who suffers from an eating disorder. While I acknowledge that this is a health issue, it does relate to funding and so to this portfolio. She raised the issue of a lack of funding for the 60,000 people who suffer from eating disorders in Wales. How much do you pay English health authorities for the treatment of eating disorders, and will you make any movement to fund such provision in Wales?

Andrew Davies: As I said in response to earlier questions, any specific announcements or spending programmes will be announced either in the draft budget or by individual Ministers. However, I will ask the Minister for health to write to you on this matter.

Q9 Bethan Jenkins: A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddatganiad am ddarparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn y de? OAQ(3)0058(FPS)

Andrew Davies: Diolch i’n buddsoddiad ac i bawb sy’n gweithio mewn gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, bu gwelliant sylweddol yn y modd y darperir y gwasanaethau hynny. Erbyn hyn mae gennym y rhaglen bartneriaeth ‘Cymru’n Un’, sy’n rhoi cyfle pellach inni ddatblygu gwellhad parhaus y cyfan o’r system ddarparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ar hyd a lled ein gwlad.

Bethan Jenkins: Yr wythnos diwethaf, fel rhan o raglen newyddion sianel pump, cefais y fraint o gwrdd ag Ali Valenzuela o Abertawe, sy’n dioddef o anhwylder bwyta. Er fy mod yn cydnabod mai mater iechyd yw hwn, y mae’n ymwneud ag arian ac felly â’r portffolio hwn. Cyfeiriodd hi at y diffyg arian ar gyfer y 60,000 o bobl sy’n dioddef o anhwylderau bwyta yng Nghymru. Faint yr ydych chi’n ei dalu i awdurdodau iechyd yn Lloegr am drin anhwylderau bwyta, ac a wnewch unrhyw symudiad i ariannu darpariaeth o’r fath yng Nghymru?

Andrew Davies: Fel y dywedais wrth ateb cwestiynau cynharach, cyhoeddir unrhyw gyhoeddiadau neu raglenni gwariant penodol naill ai yn y gyllideb ddrafft neu gan Weinidogion unigol. Fodd bynnag, fe ofynnaf i’r Gweinidog iechyd ysgrifennu atoch ynglŷn â’r mater hwn.
