The Minister for Health and Social Services and I represented the Welsh Government at a four\-nations intergovernmental meeting on 18 October, chaired by the UK Government’s Prime Minister, to discuss our shared challenges on Covid in context of wider winter pressures, and the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.


A communique was published following the meeting: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prime\-minister\-led\-engagement\-with\-the\-devolved\-administrations


At the outset, the Prime Minister spoke about the tragic death of Sir David Amess. I echoed the sentiments expressed by the Prime Minister and during the course of the meeting we observed a minute’s silence.


During the agenda item on shared Covid challenges, I mentioned ongoing economic impacts and implications of supply chain shortages, noting impacts on sectors in Wales including the steel industry. I also highlighted labour shortages in the social care sector, and asked that social care workers should be added to the shortage occupation list to help address recruitment difficulties, noting that in the long\-term, the governments will need to work together on recruitment and retention in the NHS and in social care. I called for ongoing four\-nations collaboration on vaccines and testing, and that surveillance measures for returning travellers continue to be vital to protect Wales.


I pressed the Prime Minister for a guarantee the UK\-wide Covid public inquiry would examine the actions of the Welsh Government and the experiences of the people of Wales. In response, the Prime Minister confirmed there will be a proper Welsh dimension to the inquiry and spoke of the importance of the inquiry to the whole of the UK. I also received assurances that Welsh Ministers will be consulted on the terms of reference for the inquiry. As I have made clear, the inquiry must take account of the actions taken in Wales and provide proper investigation to offer the answers that families are entitled to have about the way that decisions were made on their behalf.


In relation to the item on COP26, in the context of a changing climate, I called on the UK Government through its forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review to provide additional funding to deal with the pre\-devolution legacy of coal tips and to ensure they are safe as we face increasing extreme weather as a result of climate change. It is now a critical issue with a tragic history which poses real risks – which climate change is exacerbating – for people and communities across Wales. Those communities whose efforts created huge wealth and economic benefit to the UK in centuries past have a right to look to the UK for long\-term funding to deal with these sites.

Ar 18 Hydref, gan gynrychioli Llywodraeth Cymru, aeth y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a minnau i gyfarfod rhynglywodraethol rhwng y pedair gwlad o dan gadeiryddiaeth Prif Weinidog Llywodraeth y DU. Roedd y cyfarfod hwn yn gyfle i drafod yr heriau cyffredin sy’n eu hwynebu yn sgil COVID yng nghyd\-destun pwysau ehangach y gaeaf, a Chynhadledd y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Newid Hinsawdd (COP26\) yn Glasgow.

Ar ddechrau’r cyfarfod, siaradodd Prif Weinidog y DU am farwolaeth drasig Syr David Amess. Ailadroddais innau y teimladau a fynegwyd gan y Prif Weinidog ac yn ystod y cyfarfod cafwyd munud o dawelwch.


Yn ystod yr eitem ar yr agenda ar heriau COVID cyffredin, soniais am yr effeithiau economaidd parhaus a’r goblygiadau yn deillio o brinder yn y gadwyn gyflenwi, a soniais am yr effeithiau ar sectorau yng Nghymru, gan gynnwys y diwydiant dur. Tynnais sylw hefyd at brinder llafur yn y sector gofal cymdeithasol, a gofynnais i weithwyr gofal cymdeithasol gael eu rhoi hefyd ar y rhestr o alwedigaethau lle ceir prinder er mwyn helpu i fynd i'r afael ag anawsterau recriwtio, gan nodi, yn y tymor hir, y bydd angen i’r llywodraethau gydweithio ar recriwtio a chadw staff yn y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol ac ym maes gofal cymdeithasol. Galwais am gydweithio parhaus fel pedair gwlad ar frechlynnau a phrofion, a dywedais fod mesurau gwyliadwriaeth ar gyfer teithwyr sy'n dychwelyd yn parhau i fod yn hanfodol i ddiogelu Cymru.


Pwysais ar y Prif Weinidog am sicrwydd y byddai’r archwiliad cyhoeddus i COVID ar gyfer y DU gyfan yn ymchwilio i gamau gweithredu Llywodraeth Cymru a phrofiadau pobl o Gymru. Fel ymateb, cadarnhaodd y Prif Weinidog y byddai gan yr ymchwiliad ddimensiwn gwirioneddol Gymreig a siaradodd am bwysigrwydd yr ymchwiliad i’r DU gyfan. Fel yr wyf wedi dweud yn gwbl glir eisoes, rhaid i'r ymchwiliad ystyried y camau a gymerwyd yng Nghymru ac ymchwilio’n briodol i gynnig yr atebion y mae hawl gan deuluoedd iddynt ynghylch y ffordd y cafodd penderfyniadau eu gwneud ar eu rhan.


Mewn perthynas â’r eitem ar COP26, yng nghyd\-destun hinsawdd sy'n newid, galwais ar Lywodraeth y DU, drwy ei Hadolygiad Cynhwysfawr o Wariant a gyhoeddir yn fuan, i ddarparu cyllid ychwanegol i fynd i’r afael â gwaddol y tomenni glo o’r cyfnod cyn datganoli. Gofynnais iddynt sicrhau bod y tomenni hynny yn ddiogel wrth inni wynebu tywydd gynyddol eithafol o ganlyniad i newid hinsawdd. Mae hwn bellach yn fater tyngedfennol. Mae gan y tomenni glo hanes trasig ac mae’r bygythiad – sy’n cynyddu yn sgil newid hinsawdd – yn un gwirioneddol i bobl a chymunedau ar draws Cymru. Diolch i ymdrechion y cymunedau hyn, crëwyd cyfoeth a daethpwyd â budd economaidd anhygoel i'r DU dros y canrifoedd a aeth heibio – mae hawl ganddynt ddisgwyl cyllid hirdymor gan y DU i fynd i’r afael â'r safleoedd hyn.
