Rydym ni’n dau yn ymwybodol bod y cynigion a gyflwynwyd wedi ysgogi cryn ddiddordeb ymhlith aelodau’r cyhoedd a gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol yn y De-ddwyrain. Cafodd safbwyntiau cryf o blaid ac yn erbyn y cynnig eu rhannu â'r Aelodau a dadleuwyd yn eu cylch yn y Senedd. Rydym yn cydnabod cryfder y farn a fynegwyd a'r pryderon sydd wedi cael eu codi. Mae llawer wedi cwestiynu effaith amgylcheddol a model clinigol y ganolfan ganser. Mae'r pryderon hyn yn rhai cwbl ddilys i fod wedi eu codi ac maen nhw wedi galw am ystyriaeth ofalus. O ran effaith amgylcheddol datblygu'r safle hwn, yr awdurdod cynllunio lleol sy'n gyfrifol am y penderfyniad hwn. Fel Gweinidogion, rydym hefyd wedi cael ein sicrhau gan y cynlluniau a nodir yn yr achosion busnes dros gynnal y safonau uchaf o ran adeiladu cynaliadwy wrth godi’r ganolfan ganser a mynd ati mewn modd sensitif wrth leoli’r ysbyty a datblygu ar safle Dolau’r Gogledd.
We are both aware that the proposals submitted have created significant interest among the public and healthcare professionals in South East Wales. Strongly held views in favour and against the proposal have been shared with Members and debated in the Senedd. We recognise the strength of views expressed and the concerns that have been raised. Many have questioned the environmental impact and the clinical model of the cancer centre. These are perfectly legitimate concerns to have raised and have required careful consideration. In terms of the environmental impact of developing this site, the local planning authority is responsible for this determination. As Ministers we are also reassured by the plans set out in the business cases for the cancer centre to have the highest standards of sustainable construction and for a sensitive approach to be taken to the siting and development on the Northern Meadows site.
