Hoffwn roi gwybod i’r Aelodau bod Maggie Russell wedi’i phenodi yn gadeirydd newydd Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.


Mae dros 35 mlynedd o brofiad gan Maggie Russell fel gweithiwr proffesiynol ym maes y celfyddydau. Mae hi wedi bod mewn sawl rôl uwch yn BBC Wales ac mae wedi bod yn eiriolwr cyson dros y celfyddydau am dros bedwar degawd. Mae Maggie yn ychwanegiad gwerthfawr i’r cyngor, a hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i’w chroesawu i’r rôl. 


Bydd Maggie Russell yn mynd i’r afael â’r rôl ar adeg hanfodol bwysig i Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru a bydd yn arwain y sefydliad drwy ei adolygiad buddsoddi. Bydd ei thymor yn dechrau ar 1 Ebrill 2023 am gyfnod o dair blynedd. 


Bydd taliad cydnabyddiaeth blynyddol o £43,810 ar gyfer y penodiad, am ymrwymiad amser o 10 diwrnod y mis. Nid yw Maggie Russell wedi cyhoeddi unrhyw weithgarwch gwleidyddol


Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i Phil George, sydd wedi bod yn gyfaill, yn eiriolwr ac yn bencampwr i’r celfyddydau yng Nghymru yn ystod ei amser yn gadeirydd, a hynny yn ystod un o’r cyfnodau mwyaf heriol yn hanes y sefydliad.


Hoffwn gydnabod ei ymroddiad wrth lywio’r sefydliad drwy un o’r cyfnodau mwyaf unigryw ac anodd mewn cof. Hoffwn hefyd estyn fy niolch i’r is\-gadeirydd, Kate Eden, sydd wedi ysgwyddo nifer o gyfrifoldebau ychwanegol dros y chwe mis diwethaf.

Today, I published the **Air Source Heat Pump Noise \& Permitted Development Rights in Wales** Phase 1 and Phase 2 reports. 

Wales’s current permitted development rights (PDRs) to install an air source heat pump require a minimum 3\-metre distance from the neighbour’s boundary, to reduce noise pollution potential.  

We wish to encourage residents to transition from fossil fuel heating to low carbon alternatives, but without creating noise nuisance.  Therefore, we commissioned acoustics experts to investigate this distance rationale, to obtain and review related evidence, and to recommend whether the PDRs should be changed. 

We shall be reviewing the report’s recommendations and shall provide an update in due course.

The Idris Davies School has replaced the former Abertysswg and Pontlottyn Primary Schools and merged with the existing Rhymney Comprehensive School to form the 3 – 18 campus.


Supported with over £4m of Welsh Government funding, the school will provide the very best facilities for pupils and staff to help drive up educational standards across the county.


The school has an extensive outdoor area with play equipment, a planting area for the garden club and an amphitheatre for outdoor teaching and events. The school will also be home to a state\-of\-the\-art Flying Start part time childcare facility, providing morning sessions for children and Families First parenting programmes.


During the visit, the First Minister said:

Members will be aware that the Welsh Government made provision in the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (Wales) Regulations 2020 to ensure that travellers entering Wales from overseas countries and territories must isolate for 14 days and provide passenger information, to prevent the further spread of coronavirus.  These restrictions came into force on 8 June 2020\.


On 10 July, the Welsh Government amended these Regulations to introduce exemptions from the isolation requirement for a list of countries and territories, and a limited range of people in specialised sectors or employment who may be exempted from the isolation requirement or excepted from certain provisions of the passenger information requirements.


Since then these Regulations have been kept under review and a number of changes to the list of exempt countries and territories have been made.


Today I reviewed the latest JBC assessments and I have decided that Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba; Israel; the City of Jerusalem; Namibia; the Northern Mariana Islands; Rwanda; Sri Lanka; Uruguay and the US Virgin Islands will be added to the list of exempt countries and territories.  Travellers from these countries and territories will therefore not be required to isolate on arrival in Wales.


Tomorrow I will lay the necessary regulations which will come into force at 04:00 on Saturday 21 November.

The Bill aims to protect the stock of social housing in Wales from further reduction, ensuring it is available to provide safe, secure and affordable housing for people who are unable to buy or rent a home of their own. It complements other actions being taken by the Welsh Government to increase the supply of housing. 

 Proposing the motion to agree the general principles of the Bill, Communities and Children Secretary Carl Sargeant said: 

 
> “This Bill aims to protect the supply of social housing from further erosion in the face of a high level of demand and a shortage of supply. 
> 
>  “Between 1981 and 2016, over 139,000 local authority and housing association homes were sold under these schemes. This has resulted in people in housing need, many of whom are vulnerable, waiting longer to access a home they can afford.
> 
>  “By abolishing the Right to Buy and Right to Acquire, the Bill will also encourage social landlords to invest in new social housing safe in the knowledge that it won’t be at risk of having to be sold after only a few years.”

 Following the agreement of the general principles of the Bill, a consultation on the information document that will be issued to tenants is intended to be launched tomorrow. A series of tenant engagement events hosted by the Tenant Participation Advisory Service Cymru will form a key element of the consultation. The consultation will also focus on best practice for tenant engagement and will inform advice to be provided to social landlords on disseminating the information.

Nod y Bil yw gwarchod stoc tai cymdeithasol Cymru rhag lleihau eto fyth, gan sicrhau ei fod ar gael i ddarparu cartref saff, diogel a fforddiadwy i bobl sy’n methu â phrynu neu rentu cartref ei hunain. Mae’n ategu camau eraill Llywodraeth Cymru i gynyddu’r cyflenwad tai.

 Wrth gyflwyno’r cynnig i gytuno i egwyddorion cyffredinol y Bil, meddai Carl Sargeant, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gymunedau a Phlant:

 
> “Mae’r Bil hwn yn ceisio diogelu’r cyflenwad o stoc tai cymdeithasol rhag dirywio ymhellach yn wyneb cymaint o alw a phrinder cyflenwad.
> 
>  “Rhwng 1981 a 2016, cafodd dros 139,000 o dai awdurdodau lleol a chymdeithasau tai eu gwerthu dan y cynlluniau hyn. Mae hyn wedi arwain at bobl mewn angen o ran tai, llawer ohonyn nhw’n agored i niwed, ac yn gorfod disgwyl yn hwy i gael cartref fforddiadwy.
> 
>  “Trwy ddiddymu’r Hawl i Brynu a’r Hawl i Gaffael, bydd y Bil hefyd yn annog landlordiaid cymdeithasol i fuddsoddi mewn tai cymdeithasol newydd gyda’r sicrwydd na fydd mewn perygl o gael ei werthu ar ôl dim ond ychydig flynyddoedd.”

 Yn sgil cytundeb ar egwyddorion cyffredinol y Bil, bwriedir lansio ymgynghoriad yfory ar y ddogfen wybodaeth i’w chyflwyno i denantiaid. Bydd cyfres o ddigwyddiadau ymgysylltu â thenantiaid wedi’u cynnal gan Tenant Participation Advisory Service Cymru yn elfen allweddol o’r ymgynghoriad. Hefyd, bydd yr ymgynghoriad yn canolbwyntio ar arferion gorau ymgysylltu â thenantiaid ac yn llywio’r cyngor i’w ddarparu i landlordiaid cymdeithasol ar rannu’r wybodaeth hon.

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has set out that people with a severe/profound learning disability and individuals with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or any mental illness that causes severe functional impairment, should be invited for vaccination as part of priority group 6\.


There are challenges with identifying individuals within these groups, particularly given the JCVI language is not generally in use in Wales, and we are working hard to make sure that no one is left behind.  Today we have published guidance on identifying eligible individuals in these groups and on how to support them to take up their vaccine offers.


The JCVI has also said that some of our invaluable unpaid carers should be included in priority group 6\.  Today we have also published guidance on identifying those unpaid carers eligible for vaccine prioritisation and the process around this.  I am grateful to the national carers’ organisations for their support with this work.

I am pleased today to launch this consultation on the proposals to require additional education practitioners to register with the Education Workforce Council.  This consultation seeks views on the draft Order which proposes amendments to the relevant legislation.


We want to ensure that learners in Wales are provided the safeguards that come with having a workforce that is professionally and independently regulated. This includes staff working in further education institutions, community\-based adult learning providers and senior leaders in further education institutions. We are confident that this legislation will mean our education, learning and teaching professionals will have parity of professionalism, regardless of where they work.


By adding new categories of registration and extending existing registration requirements, the draft Order aims to drive up professional standards across the education workforce. This will ultimately provide better services for learners, as well as providing assurances to families and the wider community.

Mae hyn yn fwy na’r nifer a wnaed yn gynnar yng nghyfnod talu y llynedd ac mae’n golygu bod £227miliwn wedi’i dalu i gyfrifon banciau mwy na 15,000 o ffermwyr ledled Cymru. Mae hyn cynnwys £159miliwn a dalwyd eisoes fel Rhagdaliadau BPS ar 15 Hydref.


Gwnaeth y newidiadau i’r ddeddfwriaeth ar ddechrau’r flwyddyn symleiddio gofynion BPS ar gyfer 2021\. Arweiniodd hyn at gais mwy syml i ffermwyr a galluogodd i Ragdaliadau BPS cael eu gwneud ym mis Hydref.


Mae taliadau Llawn ac Olaf BPS 2021 wedi cael eu gwneud heddiw fel y cytunwyd â chynrychiolwyr y diwydiant.


Dywedodd Lesley Griffiths, y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig:



> Rwy’n falch ein bod wedi gwneud nifer da o daliadau BPS ar ddechrau’r cyfnod talu, sy’n fwy na’r hyn a wnaed y llynedd. Cyflawnwyd hyn wrth i ni gyd barhau i weithredu dan amgylchiadau heriol andemig Covid\-19\.
> 
> 
> Hoffwn ddiolch i bawb, gan gynnwys y rhai hynny yn y sector sydd wedi gweithio gyda ni i gyflwyno BPS symlach. Mae hyn wedi helpu i sicrhau bod ffermwyr wedi cael eu taliadau yn brydlon.
> 
> 
> Mae fy swyddogion bellach yn gweithio’n galed i brosesu hawliadau BPS 2021 sy’n weddill cyn gynted â phosibl.
> 
> 
> Rwy’n disgwyl i bob un achos, heblaw am y rhai mwyaf cymhleth, gael ei gwblhau erbyn 30 Mehefin y flwyddyn nesaf.

This exceeds the number made early in the payment window last year and means £227m has been paid into bank accounts of more than 15,000 farmers throughout Wales. This includes the £159m already paid as BPS Advance payments on 15 October.


Changes to legislation at the beginning of the year simplified the requirements of BPS for 2021\. This resulted in a more straightforward application for farmers and allowed early BPS Advance payments to be made in October.


Full and Balance BPS 2021 payments have been made today as agreed with industry representatives.


Rural Affairs Minister, Lesley Griffiths said:



> I am pleased we have made an impressive number of BPS payments at the start of the payment window, which is in excess of those made last year. This has been done while we all continue to operate in challenging circumstances brought about by the Covid\-19 pandemic.
> 
> 
> I want to thank everyone, including those in the sector who have worked with us to deliver a more streamlined BPS which has helped ensure farms have received their payments in a timely manner.
> 
> 
> My officials are now working hard to process the remaining BPS 2021 claims as soon as possible.

> I expect all but the most complex cases to be completed by 30 June next year.

 Dosbarthir copïau i AS, awdurdodau lleol ac amgueddfeydd yn fuan.

 Cyhoeddir y datganiad hwn yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Byddaf yn hapus i wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau pan fydd y Cynulliad yn ymgynnull eto, os bydd angen.

Yn unol â’r cytundeb cysylltiadau rhyngsefydliadol, hoffem eich hysbysu bod cyfarfod Grŵp Rhynglywodraethol Gweinidogion Iechyd y DU wedi’i gynnal ar 16 Mehefin.


Fel y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd Meddwl a Llesiant roeddem yn bresennol yn y cyfarfod gyda’r Gwir Anrh. Sajid Javid AS, yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol dros Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol, Llywodraeth y DU a Robin Swann ACD, y Gweinidog Iechyd, Gweithrediaeth Gogledd Iwerddon. Nid oedd Humza Yousaf ASA, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd a Chwaraeon, Llywodraeth yr Alban, yn gallu bod yn bresennol.


Trafodwyd anghydraddoldebau a gwahaniaethau iechyd, wrth ganolbwyntio ar ddisgwyliad oes iach, gordewdra a thybaco. Cafodd pob Gweinidog gyfle i roi’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am gynlluniau eu llywodraethau i wella disgwyliad oes iach ac i gau’r bwlch mewn disgwyliad oes iach rhwng y mwyaf a’r lleiaf difreintiedig mewn cymdeithas.


Mynegwyd ein siom ynghylch penderfyniad diweddar Llywodraeth y DU i ohirio cyflwyno cyfyngiadau ar hysbysebu cynhyrchion sy’n uchel mewn braster, halen a siwgr.


Mynegwyd hefyd ein cefnogaeth mewn egwyddor i argymhellion adolygiad Khan, i roi diwedd ar ysmygu yn Lloegr erbyn 2030\. Byddai llawer o’r argymhellion yn berthnasol yng Nghymru, megis y cynigion i gynyddu’r terfyn oedran yn y man gwerthu a chyflwyno ardoll ar elw cwmnïau tybaco.


Cynhelir y cyfarfod nesaf ar ôl toriad yr haf.

In accordance with the inter\-institutional relations agreement, we wish to notify you a meeting of the UK Health Ministers’ Intergovernmental Group was held on 16 June.


As Minister for Health and Social Services and Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing we attended the meeting with the Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, UK Government and Robin Swann MLA, Minister for Health, Northern Ireland Executive. Humza Yousaf MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport,  Scottish Government, was unable to attend.


We discussed health inequities and disparities, with a focus on healthy life expectancy, obesity and tobacco. Each Minister had an opportunity to provide an update about their governments’ plans to improve healthy life expectancy and to narrow the gap in healthy life expectancy between the most and least deprived in society.


We expressed our disappointment about the UK Government’s recent decision to delay the introduction of restrictions on advertising products which are high in fat, salt and sugar.


We also expressed our in\-principle support for the recommendations of the Khan review, to make smoking obsolete in England by 2030\. Many of the recommendations would apply in Wales, such as the proposals to increase the point\-of\-sale age limit and the introduction of a levy on the profits of tobacco companies.  


The next meeting will be held after the summer recess.

Heddiw rwy’n cyhoeddi ymgynghoriad technegol byr ar y newidiadau arfaethedig i Reoliadau Ardrethu Annomestig (Eiddo Heb ei Feddiannu) (Cymru) (Diwygio) 2020\.


Nod y rheoliadau diwygiedig yw mynd i’r afael ag achosion o gamddefnyddio’r system rhyddhad ardrethi ar eiddo gwag drwy newid cydbwysedd y cymhellion ariannol i osgoi talu ardrethi, gan ei gwneud yn llai deniadol i drethdalwyr anonest gamddefnyddio’r cynllun. Dyma’r cam diweddaraf yn ein gwaith i fynd i’r afael â thwyll ac osgoi talu o fewn y system ardrethu annomestig. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi’r mwyafrif llethol o fusnesau Cymru sy’n gweithredu gyda gonestrwydd ac uniondeb wrth drefnu eu materion treth leol. Ni all fod yn deg bod ymdrechion y mwyafrif llethol i gydymffurfio â’r rheolau a thalu eu dyledion yn cael eu tanseilio gan leiafrif bach sy’n benderfynol o fanteisio ar y system neu ei chamddefnyddio.  


Bydd yr ymgynghoriad hwn yn dod i ben ar 12 Tachwedd 2020\. Mae’n gofyn am farn o natur dechnegol ynghylch y gwaith o ddrafftio’r ddeddfwriaeth a’i chymhwysiad ymarferol a chyfreithiol. Yn ystod tymor yr haf 2018, ymgynghorodd Llywodraeth Cymru ar amrywiaeth o fesurau i fynd i’r afael â thwyll neu achosion o osgoi talu ardrethi, gan gynnwys opsiynau i leihau’r achosion o gamddefnyddio ein cynlluniau rhyddhad. Ystyriwyd yr ymatebion hynny yn ofalus a chyhoeddwyd ein bwriad ym mis Hydref 2018: Datganiad Ysgrifenedig \- Mynd i'r afael â thwyll ac osgoi talu ardrethi annomestig yng Nghymru.


Mae’r ymgynghoriad ar gael yn: Rhyddhad ardrethi eiddo gwag.

Today I am publishing a short technical consultation on proposed changes to the Non\-Domestic Rating (Unoccupied Properties) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2020.


The amended regulations are designed to address abuse of rates relief for empty properties by changing the balance of financial incentives to engage in avoidance behaviour, making abuse of the scheme less attractive to disingenuous ratepayers. This marks the latest step in our work to tackle fraud and avoidance within the non‑domestic rates system. The Welsh Government is committed to supporting the overwhelming majority of businesses in Wales which act with honesty and integrity in arranging their local tax affairs. It cannot be right that the efforts of the considerable majority, to abide by the rules and pay their dues, are undercut by a small minority intent on exploiting or abusing the system.  


This consultation will close on 12 November 2020\. It asks for views of a technical nature regarding the drafting of the legislation and its practical and legal application. In the summer of 2018, the Welsh Government consulted on a range of measures to tackle rates fraud and avoidance, including options to minimise abuse of our relief schemes. We considered those responses carefully and announced our intentions in October 2018: Written Statement \- Tackling fraud and avoidance of non\-domestic rates in Wales.

On 30 January 2020, I issued a Written Statement to confirm that, as a result of legal advice, Welsh Government had cancelled the procurement for the Job Support Wales Programme due to technical difficulties.   I am today providing Members with an up\-date on the matter.


A review of the difficulties we experienced with the procurement was commissioned by the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd and was completed by officials in March 2020\.   The review confirmed that although the Welsh Government’s approach to procurement was in line with the Public Contract Regulations, it was appropriate in this instance to abandon this particular procurement.  The review made a number of recommendations to strengthen internal processes and these are now being taken forward by officials.   


The Welsh Government’s Internal Audit Services will be reviewing the lessons learned from this matter to ensure they are applied consistently across all future Welsh Government procurement activities.


Announcements on the future for the Employability and Skills programmes will be made in due course.


I will continue to keep Members informed of any significant developments.

Comisiynodd y Gweinidog Cyllid a’r Trefnydd adolygiad o’r anawsterau caffael a gawsom a chwblhaodd swyddogion yr adolygiad hwnnw ym mis Mawrth 2020\.

Bydd cyhoeddiadau ar ddyfodol rhaglenni Cyflogaeth a Sgiliau yn cael eu gwneud maes o law.

Today I am delighted to launch the Welsh Transport Appraisal Guidance (WelTAG) 2017\.  

  

WelTAG 2017 will ensure that all transport schemes in Wales support our vision for a Wales that is prosperous and secure, healthy and active, ambitious and learning, united and connected.  

  

WelTAG 2017 replaces WelTAG 2008, as the best practice guidance for the development, appraisal and evaluation of transport related projects. WelTAG 2017 combines best practice in transport appraisal with the five case model for better business cases, to ensure that investment in transport is targeted where it can maximise contribution to the well\-being of Wales. Alongside the core guidance, WelTAG 2017 includes supplementary guidance notes that provide additional support and advice on key issues. These will be kept under review and updated as required.  

  

I have been delighted to work closely with the Future Generations Commissioner to ensure that WelTAG 2017 embeds the Well\-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, to ensure that transport schemes are developed using the sustainable development principle and maximise their contribution to the well\-being of future generations.  

  

Following this launch my officials will be setting up a WelTAG Community of Practice, with workshops and case studies to support the transition to WelTAG 2017\.

Further to my written statement of 19 April, I am pleased to confirm the appointment of Simon Pirotte OBE as Chief Executive for the Commission for Tertiary Education and Research.


I am grateful to the Children, Young People and Education Committee for their report which endorsed Simon following his pre\-appointment hearing on 25 May 2023 and, whilst I would respectfully disagree with the Committee’s conclusion on the recruitment process which led to the appointment, I note this in no way reflects on Simon’s candidacy for the role. 


Simon will take up post in September and I look forward to working with him as we establish the Commission as the first ever national steward for the whole tertiary and research sector, bringing together responsibility for overseeing Wales's higher and further education, school sixth forms, apprenticeships and research and innovation in one place. Simon’s appointment has been widely welcomed across the various post 16 sectors and I am confident the combination of skills, knowledge and leadership brought by Simon, alongside those of Professor Dame Julie Lydon as Chair and Professor David Sweeney as Deputy Chair, will produce a team capable of delivering our innovative and ambitious vision for Wales’s tertiary education and research sector.
