Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon(Vaughan Gething): There are no centrally held figures relating to the number of people who have this rare disease. The disease occurs in about 1 in 30,000-50,000 of the UK population, which means around 60-100 people could be affected in Wales.
Idebenone is the only medicine approved in the UK for the treatment of Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. The Medicines Healthcare and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency have confirmed the product’s manufacturers do not currently market it in the UK.
Provision of support for people with Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy in Wales is good. We have an international expert, Professor Marcela VotrubaI who runs a Retinal Clinic and a Genetic Eye Clinic, at the University Hospital of Wales. The majority of patients with this condition in Wales are referred here for treatment and access to support.
Andrew RT Davies (Canol De Cymru): A wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau nad yw symptomau sy'n gysylltiedig â phroblemau posibl ar y galon neu strôc yn dod o fewn y categori galwad goch i Wasanaeth Ambiwlans Cymru? (WAQ71773)
Derbyniwyd ateb ar 5 Ionawr 2017.
Vaughan Gething: As I explained in my response to WAQs 71658 and 71661, the cause and clinical severity of conditions such as shortness of breath and chest pains can vary and in order to ensure these calls receive the most appropriate response, call handlers must assess the patient’s clinical condition and circumstances and categorise the call accordingly.
Heart problems and strokes may be categorised within the Red category if their clinical severity render a patient in an immediately life threatening position, or the Amber category if the patient’s condition is serious, but not immediately life threatening.
I have asked Brendan Lloyd, Medical Director for the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust to provide you and other Assembly Members with a technical briefing on the clinical response model to aid your understanding of this matter.

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol (Mark Drakeford): Further extensive engagement to test the options for reform and to refine the proposals set out in my statement on 4 October has taken place over the autumn.

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 5 Ionawr 2017.
Mark Drakeford: I met with Gareth Halliwell, the Electoral Commissioner for Wales and Rhydian Thomas, Head of the Electoral Commission Wales on 13 July 2016. We discussed a number of issues including preparation for the local government elections in 2017.
The Electoral Commission proposes a series of media and social media campaigns to promote registration ahead of the elections in May.
I also expect local authorities to promote the election through their websites.
Janet Finch-Saunders (Aberconwy): A wnaiff y Gweinidog amlinellu ei ymateb i adroddiad 2016 y Comisiwn Etholiadol ar nifer y pleidleiswyr yn etholiad Cynulliad Cymru, a oedd yn dangos mai 45.6 y cant o'r rhai a oedd wedi cofrestru i bleidleisio a wnaeth bleidleisio, o'i gymharu â 55.6 y cant yn yr Alban a 54.9 y cant yng Ngogledd Iwerddon?

Janet Finch-Saunders (Aberconwy): Pa fesurau y mae'r Gweinidog yn eu cymryd i fynd i'r afael â 25 y cant o bleidleiswyr Cymru sydd wedi rhoi gwybod i'r Comisiwn Etholiadol nad oedd ganddynt ddiddordeb yn etholiad y Cynulliad na theimlo fod diben pleidleisio, sy'n gynnydd o 5 y cant ers 2011? (WAQ71766)
Derbyniwyd ateb ar 5 Ionawr 2017.
Mark Drakeford: As politicians we all have a responsibility to try and increase the interest of voters to elections in Wales. There will always be some people who do not take an interest but we must do all we can to reduce that percentage.
It will become easier for the National Assembly to address the issue of electoral participation when powers provided in the Wales Bill are devolved to the National Assembly for Wales.
