We are progressing with our 10-year Welsh in education workforce plan, which includes developing and implementing a marketing strategy in partnership with the Education Workforce Council and the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to encourage more Welsh speakers to choose teaching as a career.

Rŷn ni'n bwrw ymlaen gyda'n cynllun gweithlu Cymraeg mewn addysg 10 mlynedd, sy'n cynnwys datblygu a gweithredu strategaeth farchnata mewn partneriaeth â Chyngor y Gweithlu Addysg a'r Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol i annog mwy o siaradwyr Cymraeg i ddewis addysgu fel gyrfa.
The next item on the agenda is the Plaid Cymru debate on the rural economy. I call on Simon Thomas to move the motion.

Yr eitem nesaf ar yr agenda yw'r ddadl yn enw Plaid Cymru ar yr economi wledig, ac i wneud y cynnig, Simon Thomas.

All the funding does go towards these core services that you've described. I don't believe that anybody here wants to argue that the funding shouldn't go to schools or social care. I don't believe people want to see that, and that's exactly what we are doing. But, if I could return to the purpose of your question, when you talked about the policy of this Government, this settlement is part of a formula that has been agreed by local government and it's something that we administer jointly with local government.

Mae'r arian, wrth gwrs, i gyd yn mynd at y gwasanaethau craidd hynny rydych chi wedi eu disgrifio. Nid wyf yn credu bod neb fan hyn eisiau dadlau ddylai arian ddim fynd at ysgolion nag at ofal cymdeithasol. Nid wyf yn credu bod pobl eisiau gweld hynny, a dyna'n union beth rydym ni'n ei wneud. Ond a gaf i ddod yn ôl at bwrpas eich cwestiwn, pan oeddech chi'n sôn amboutu bolisi'r Llywodraeth yma? Mae hyn yn rhan o setliad, yn rhan o fformiwla, sydd wedi cael ei gytuno gan lywodraeth leol ac mae'n rhywbeth rydym ni'n ei wasanaethu a'i weinyddu ar y cyd gyda llywodraeth leol.

In annex 3, there is an additional line for the website, which completes the work commenced this year.

Yn anecs rhif 3, mae yna linell ychwanegol ar gyfer y wefan, sy'n gorffen y gwaith sydd wedi'i ddechrau eleni.
We are currently developing a business case for a third crossing over the Menai strait and I have asked my officials to bring forward proposals for a preferred-route study.

Ar hyn o bryd rydym yn datblygu achos busnes ar gyfer trydydd croesiad dros y Fenai ac rwyf wedi gofyn i fy swyddogion gyflwyno argymhellion ar gyfer astudiaeth ar y llwybr a ffefrir.
Symudwn at eitem 3 ar yr agenda, sef cwestiynau amserol. Dyma'r tro cyntaf i ni gael cwestiynau amserol mewn sesiwn gwestiynau amserol, a daw'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Jeremy Miles i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon, a chredaf mai Jeremy a wnaeth y datganiad 90 eiliad cyntaf hefyd, felly mae'n arloesi yn hynny o beth.

We move to item 3 on the agenda, which is topical questions. This is the first time we've had topical questions under a topical questions session, and the first question is to be answered by the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport, and it's from Jeremy Miles, and Jeremy had the first 90-second statement, I believe, so, he's trailblazing.

Yn hollol gytûn â hynny. Mae yna 245 o orsafoedd o dan y 'franchise' yng Nghymru a Lloegr. Dim ond chwarter o'r rheini sy'n cael eu staffio ar hyn o bryd. Rŷm ni yn erfyn gwelliannau sylweddol i gael eu gwneud ynglŷn â mynediad i orsafoedd yn ystod tymor y 'franchise' nesaf.

I agree totally with that. Two hundred and forty-five stations come under the franchise in England and Wales, and only a quarter are staffed at present. We will expect significant improvements to be made as regards access to these stations over the term of the next franchise.

Mae gwella hygyrchedd yn brosiect tymor hir, ond, fel y nodais yn gynharach, mae hynny yn ei gwneud hi'n bwysicach fyth ein bod yn ymgymryd â'r dasg. Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Aelodau am eu sylwadau i'r ddadl, am eu cefnogaeth i hynt y Bil i Gyfnod 2, ac edrychaf ymlaen at weithio gydag aelodau o'r Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol wrth iddyn nhw barhau i graffu ar y Bil. Diolch yn fawr.

Improving accessibility is a long-term project, but, as I indicated earlier, that makes it even more important that we set about the task. I'm grateful for the indications Members have given in the debate of their support for the progress of the Bill to Stage 2, and I look forward to working with members of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee as they continue the scrutiny of the Bill. Diolch yn fawr.

Ewch amdani, fe wnaf adael i chi - . Mae ei hamser ar ben.

Go on, I'll let you - . She is out of time.

Rwy'n falch iawn o weld bod Coleg Cymunedol y Dderwen wedi gwneud cynnydd digonol yn erbyn ei argymhellion o'r arolygiad craidd ym mis Hydref 2015 i gael ei dynnu o'r categori mesurau arbennig. Ac rwy'n gobeithio, wrth gwrs, bod yr ysgol yn cynnal hynny ac yn parhau i wella.

I am very pleased to see that Coleg Cymunedol y Dderwen has made sufficient progress against its recommendations from the core inspection in October 2015 to be removed from special measures. And I hope, of course, the school maintains and continues to improve.
Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Cynigiaf y cynnig. Rwy'n falch o allu cyflwyno'r cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol hwn o ran Bil Eiddo Diwylliannol (Gwrthdaro Arfog) Llywodraeth y DU. Hoffwn ddiolch i'r Pwyllgor Diwylliant, Y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu am ei waith craffu ar y memorandwm a hefyd am nodi ei fod yn fodlon ag ef. Cymeradwyaf y cynnig i'r Siambr.

Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I move the motion. I'm pleased to be able to bring forward this legislative consent motion on the UK Government's Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Bill. I'd like to record my thanks to the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee for its scrutiny of the memorandum and also note that they are content with it. I commend the motion to the Chamber.
I'm not going to take -

Nid wyf yn mynd i gymryd -
Item 5 is the legislative consent motion on the Non-Domestic Rating (Nursery Grounds) Bill, and I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Finance to move the motion - Mark Drakeford.

Eitem 5 yw'r cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol ar gyfer y Bil Ardrethu Annomestig (Meithrinfeydd Planhigion), a galwaf ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid i gynnig y cynnig - Mark Drakeford.

The construction sector makes a critically important contribution to the Welsh economy, sustaining as it does something in the region of 13,000 businesses and employing around 112,000 individuals. The Construction Skills Network in their latest forecast predict that Wales will see unprecedented growth in construction up until 2021.

Mae'r sector adeiladu yn gwneud cyfraniad hollbwysig i economi Cymru, drwy gynnal oddeutu 13,000 o fusnesau a chyflogi oddeutu 112,000 o unigolion. Mae'r Rhwydwaith Sgiliau Adeiladu, yn eu rhagolwg diweddaraf, yn rhagweld twf digynsail yn y diwydiant adeiladu yng Nghymru hyd at 2021.

Can I remind Members, please, from all groups, that as you go beyond the time, you're taking time away from your colleagues who wish to speak? So, please keep to your time limits. Hefin David.

A gaf i atgoffa Aelodau, os gwelwch yn dda, o bob grŵp, eich bod, wrth i chi fynd y tu hwnt i'r amser, yn cymryd amser oddi wrth eich cyd-Aelodau sy'n dymuno siarad? Felly, cadwch at eich terfynau amser. Hefin David.

Well, I'm not aware of the particular programmes that the Member raises with me today, but if she'd like to give me some more detail, I will give her a fuller response to that comment. The issue around the 2020 deadline is that the European funding is available until 2020, we are aware. And we will continue to draw down that as long as we possibly can.

Wel, nid wyf yn ymwybodol o'r rhaglenni penodol y mae'r Aelod yn eu dwyn i fy sylw heddiw, ond os hoffai roi ychydig mwy o fanylion i mi, fe roddaf ymateb llawnach i'r sylw hwnnw. Y mater ynglŷn â'r dyddiad terfynol yn 2020 yw ein bod yn ymwybodol fod y cyllid Ewropeaidd ar gael tan 2020. A byddwn yn parhau i ddefnyddio hwnnw cyhyd ag y gallwn.
We have regular communication at ministerial and official level with the UK Government about the EU settled status scheme and the status of EU nationals resident here. While the scheme is not the kind of arrangement we would ideally wish to see in place, we are doing everything we can to ensure that EU citizens in Cardiff and elsewhere are applying for settled status.

Rydym yn cyfathrebu'n rheolaidd ar lefel weinidogol a swyddogol gyda Llywodraeth y DU ynglŷn â chynllun statws preswylydd sefydlog i ddinasyddion yr UE a statws gwladolion yr UE sy'n preswylio yma. Er nad y cynllun yw'r math o drefniant y byddem yn dymuno'i weld ar waith yn ddelfrydol, rydym yn gwneud popeth yn ein gallu i sicrhau bod dinasyddion yr UE yng Nghaerdydd ac mewn mannau eraill yn ceisio am statws preswylwyr sefydlog.
Yes. We're on target to deliver the devolved Welsh taxes, and collection and management arrangements. From April 2018, we will be able to do so, but that will depend, of course, on the agreement of a fiscal framework for Wales, which is hugely important.

Gwnaf. Rydym ar y trywydd iawn i gyflawni trethi datganoledig Cymru, a threfniadau casglu a rheoli. O fis Ebrill 2018, byddwn yn gallu gwneud hynny, ond bydd hynny'n dibynnu, wrth gwrs, ar gytuno fframwaith cyllidol i Gymru, sy'n eithriadol o bwysig.
No-one's objecting. Thank you very much.

Does neb yn gwrthwynebu. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

The next item, therefore, is questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services, and the first question is from Hefin David.

Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r cwestiynau i'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Hefin David.

With respect, I think the Member is really asking me about the visitor economy rather than science policy. I do think, though, I welcome his support for the Welsh Labour Government manifesto pledge to create a national park based on the Clwydian range. I'm not sure every Conservative Member has been quite as supportive as I am delighted to hear the Member being. If there is a serious proposal for an observatory then we'll of course look at the business plan if it's presented to us.

Gyda phob parch, credaf fod yr Aelod yn gofyn i mi am yr economi ymwelwyr yn hytrach na pholisi gwyddoniaeth. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n credu fy mod yn croesawu ei gefnogaeth i addewid maniffesto Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru i greu parc cenedlaethol o gwmpas bryniau Clwyd. Nid wyf yn siŵr fod pob Aelod Ceidwadol wedi rhannu'r gefnogaeth y mae'n bleser gennyf weld yr Aelod yn ei rhoi. Os oes cynnig difrifol ar gyfer arsyllfa byddwn yn edrych ar y cynllun busnes os caiff ei gyflwyno i ni.

Yes, thank you. That, of course - . I think you need to have some kind of thought to the possible disadvantages, which you've outlined, so I think that's a sensible answer. Now, another development in England - [Interruption.] Another development in England is that at least one council has successfully set up a not-for-profit energy company. That is the Robin Hood Energy company in Nottingham. Now, if these powers of general competence did come to Wales, do you think that would be an idea that some local councils could effectively pursue here?

Ie, diolch. Mae hynny, wrth gwrs - . Credaf fod angen i chi feddwl am yr anfanteision posibl, ac fe'u hamlinellwyd gennych, felly credaf fod hwnnw'n ateb synhwyrol. Nawr, datblygiad arall yn Lloegr - [Torri ar draws.] Datblygiad arall yn Lloegr yw bod o leiaf un cyngor wedi llwyddo i sefydlu cwmni ynni dielw. Robin Hood Energy yn Nottingham yw'r cwmni hwnnw. Nawr, pe bai'r pwerau cymhwysedd cyffredinol hyn yn dod i Gymru, a ydych yn credu y buasai hwnnw'n syniad y gallai rhai cynghorau lleol fynd ar ei drywydd yn effeithiol yma?
Wrth wynebu dewis rhwng busnes yn mentro ar lwybr cyflymach a allai wynebu oedi am oriau yn y pen draw, neu lwybr arafach a fydd yn sicr o gyrraedd mewn pryd, mae busnesau - hyd yn hyn - wedi bod yn dewis sicrwydd.

'When faced with a choice between a business taking a chance on a faster route that could end up being delayed for hours, or a slower route that will be guaranteed to arrive on time, businesses have - so far - been choosing certainty.'
Prif Weinidog, rwy'n falch iawn bod fy etholaeth i, Cwm Cynon, wedi elwa gan fwy na £100 miliwn mewn cyfleusterau addysgol newydd a gwell o dan raglen ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, ac rwyf yn deall bod hynny'n fwy nag unrhyw etholaeth arall yng Nghymru. Gwn eich bod chi'n bresennol, dim ond wythnos neu ddwy yn ôl, yn agoriad swyddogol campws newydd £22 miliwn Coleg y Cymoedd yn Aberdâr. Fodd bynnag, mae tystiolaeth a dderbyniwyd gennym ym mhwyllgor yr economi gan GolegauCymru yn awgrymu nad yw'r sector AB mor llwyddiannus ag y gallai fod efallai o ran manteisio ar y cyllid hwnnw. Felly, o ran y swyddogaeth bwysig sydd gan addysg bellach o ddarparu dewis i ddysgwyr a hybu sgiliau, sut mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymgysylltu â'r sector fel y gall sicrhau cymaint o fanteision â phosibl o'r rhaglen?

First Minister, I'm very proud that my constituency of Cynon Valley has benefited to the tune of over £100 million in new and improved educational facilities under the twenty-first century schools programme, which I understand is more than any other constituency in Wales. I know that you attended the official opening, just the other week, of the new £22 million Coleg y Cymoedd campus in Aberdare. Evidence that we took recently in the economy committee from ColegauCymru suggests, however, that the FE sector isn't as successful as perhaps it could be in tapping into that funding. So, in terms of the important role further education has in providing choice to learners and in boosting skills, how is the Welsh Government engaging with the sector so that it can maximise the benefits of the programme?

Eitem 7 y prynhawn yma yw'r ddadl ar adroddiad y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb a Chyfiawnder Cymdeithasol, 'Tlodi tanwydd a'r Rhaglen Cartrefi Clyd. Galwaf ar Gadeirydd y pwyllgor i wneud y cynnig, Jenny Rathbone.

Item 7 this afternoon is the debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee report, 'Fuel poverty and the Warm Homes Programme'. I call on the Chair of the committee to move the motion, Jenny Rathbone.
Iawn. Mae'r amser wedi dod i ben, ond mae gen i ddau siaradwr arall ac rwy'n siŵr mai dim ond gofyn cwestiynau y byddan nhw. Huw Irranca-Davies.

Okay. We have reached the time, but I've got two more speakers and I'm sure that they will only ask questions. Huw Irranca-Davies.
Diolch i chi am gymryd yr ymyriad. A ydych yn cytuno felly, mewn gwirionedd, mai'r hyn sydd ei angen arnom yw gwybodaeth, oherwydd sut y gall y Llywodraeth roi mecanweithiau ar waith i allu bod yn barod i gychwyn pan nad ydynt yn gwybod beth fydd ganddynt hyd yn oed? Y broblem yw nad ydym yn gwybod. Nid ydym yn gwybod unrhyw beth.

Thank you for taking the intervention. Do you therefore agree that, actually, what we need is knowledge, because how can the Government actually put mechanisms in place to hit the ground running when they don't even know what it is they're going to be hitting the ground running with? The problem is we don't know. We don't know anything.

Rwy'n galw ar Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Cyllid, Simon Thomas.

I call on the Chair of the Finance Committee, Simon Thomas.

Roeddwn i eisiau diolch i Carolyn Thomas am ddod â'r ddadl hon gerbron y Senedd. Am ddadl hyfryd a phwysig mae wedi bod. Mae'r pandemig wedi gwneud i gynifer ohonom ni ailystyried pwysigrwydd y natur sydd o'n cwmpas ni yn ein milltir sgwâr. Nid oes rhaid teithio i'r mynyddoedd na llynoedd i weld gogoniant y byd naturiol, mae hefyd ar gael yn ein pentrefi, neu fe all fod os ydyn ni'n gadael iddo dyfu. Mae blodau gwyllt, fel dŷn ni wedi clywed yn yr araith hynod passionate yna gan Carolyn, ymysg y golygfeydd hyfrytaf yr ydym yn gallu'u gweld, ac rwy'n llwyr gefnogol o unrhyw ymgais i gael mwy o flodau gwyllt yn tyfu. Yn olaf, mae'r crisis natur yn un sy'n effeithio arnom ni oll, ond dyma un ffordd y gallem ni chwarae rhan adeiladol mewn adfywio rhywogaethau a sicrhau bod mwy o bobl yn gwerthfawrogi natur yn eu bywydau bob dydd. Diolch yn fawr iawn eto i Carolyn am y ddadl.

I wanted to thank Carolyn Thomas for bringing this debate before the Senedd. What a wonderful and important debate it's been. The pandemic has led so many of us to re-evaluate the importance of nature in our own localities. One doesn't have to travel to mountains and lakes to experience nature in all its glory, it's also there in our villages, or it could be if we allow it to grow. Wild flowers, as we've heard in that very passionate speech from Carolyn, provide some of the most beautiful spectacles and I'm fully supportive of any efforts to see more wild flowers in bloom. Finally, the nature emergency, of course, affects us all, but this is one way in which we can play a constructive part in species recovery and ensure that more people can appreciate nature in their daily lives. Thank you, once again, to Carolyn for this debate.
Hynny yw, beth mae'r Bil yn ei ddweud yw ei fod e'n caniatáu i gynllun gael ei greu, ontefe. Wedyn, wrth gwrs, mae yna dipyn o ffordd i fynd i wybod beth fydd natur y cynllun yna. Oes yna drafodaethau wedi bod, neu oes yna ryw ddealltwriaeth yn fras eich bod chi gyd yn gwybod y math o beth ŷch chi'n chwilio amdano fe?

What the Bill does say is that it allows for a scheme to be made. Then there's quite a way to go to know what the nature of that scheme will be. Have there been discussions, or is there some kind of understanding, broadly, that you know what kind of thing you're looking for?
Ac maen nhw wedi cael eu sugno mewn i Brexit, a beth sy'n digwydd gyda Brexit. Mae hwn yn digwydd ar draws y Llywodraeth. Dyna yw'r broblem sydd gyda ni. Felly, mae'n anodd i ni ddweud, 'Dyma yw'r amserlen', achos mae popeth yn cael ei sugno gan Brexit ar hyn o bryd.

And they have been affected by Brexit, and what's happening with Brexit. That's happening across Government. That's the problem that we have, so it's difficult for us to say, 'This is the timetable', because everything is being affected by Brexit at the moment.
Thank you. Sorry that I jumped back to that, but I thought it was an important point to note. One of the things that this committee always preaches about is that it's good practice to ensure that there is post-implementation scrutiny that's conducted. There's no provision for that in what you propose. Is that something that you would consider including?

Iawn. Mae'n ddrwg gyda fi fy mod i wedi neidio nôl at hwnna - roeddwn i'n meddwl ei fod e'n bwynt pwysig i'w godi. Un o'r pethau mae'r pwyllgor yma wastad yn pregethu yw ei bod hi'n arfer dda i sicrhau bod yna graffu ôl-ddeddfwriaethol yn digwydd. Does yna ddim darpariaeth ar gyfer hynny yn yr hyn rŷch chi'n gynnig. Ydy hynny'n rhywbeth y byddech chi'n ystyried ei gynnwys?

Thank you. Someone's got something on in the background, I think. I could hear - . Great, we'll move first to Hefin David.

Diolch. Mae rhywun gyda rhywbeth ymlaen yn y cefndir, dwi'n meddwl, efallai. Roeddwn i'n gallu clywed - . Grêt, fe wnawn ni symud yn gyntaf at Hefin David.
I thank the Member for that. Planning consent is generally required for the material change of building use except where it is already allowed by the use classes Order and permitted development Order. Any application for planning permission must be determined in accordance with the local development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

Diolchaf i'r Aelod am hynna. Mae angen caniatâd cynllunio ar gyfer newid sylweddol i ddefnydd adeilad fel arfer, ac eithrio lle y mae eisoes wedi ei ganiatáu gan y Gorchymyn dosbarthiadau defnydd a'r Gorchymyn datblygu a ganiateir. Mae'n rhaid gwneud penderfyniad ynghylch unrhyw gais am ganiatâd cynllunio yn unol â'r cynllun datblygu lleol, oni bai bod ystyriaethau perthnasol yn nodi fel arall.
And, as you know, we're here to conduct best practice in terms of elections in Wales.

A dŷch chi'n gwybod ein bod ni yma er mwyn gwneud yr arfer gorau ar gyfer etholiadau Cymru.
A gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar sicrhau tegwch cymhariaeth prisiau rhwng Hinkley Point a morlyn llanw Bae Abertawe? Gan fod terfyn uchaf wedi'i roi ar gostau datgomisiynu a chostau storio datblygiad Hinkley Point, nid ydym cymharu tebyg â thebyg. Trwy bennu terfyn uchaf ar gostau adeiladu morlyn llanw Abertawe ar lefel lawer is na'r gost debygol, byddai'n llawer rhatach cynhyrchu trydan yno.

Can I ask for a Welsh Government statement regarding ensuring the fairness of price comparison between the Swansea bay tidal lagoon and Hinkley Point? As the decommissioning costs and storage costs for the Hinkley Point development have been capped, we're not comparing like with like. If the building cap cost of the Swansea tidal lagoon was capped at a level well below what it was likely to cost, then it would make it a lot cheaper to generate electricity there.
Nid oes raid ichi dderbyn yr ymyriad.

You don't have to accept the intervention.
Llywydd, it's not a course of action that I think has merit.

Llywydd, nid yw'n gam yr wyf i'n credu bod rhinwedd iddo.

So, if we could move to Standing Order 17.42 to exclude the public from the rest of the meeting. Is everyone happy with that? Happy and content. We now move into private session.

Felly, os ydym ni'n gallu symud i Reol Sefydlog 17.42 i wahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod. A ydy pawb yn hapus gyda hynny? Hapus ac yn llawen. Symudwn at y sesiwn breifat.

Thank you for the question. We continue to take a range of measures to help improve economic opportunities for disabled people. That includes the establishment, in 2020, of a Welsh Government network of disabled people's employment champions to engage with employers to encourage the further employment of disabled people.

Diolch am eich cwestiwn. Rydym yn parhau i gymryd ystod o gamau i helpu i wella cyfleoedd economaidd i bobl anabl. Mae hynny'n cynnwys sefydlu, yn 2020, rhwydwaith Llywodraeth Cymru o hyrwyddwyr cyflogaeth pobl anabl i ymgysylltu â chyflogwyr i hyrwyddo cyflogaeth i bobl anabl.
Questions about the new unitary board and what about the arrangements coming on with the unitary board: what is the timetable? You've mentioned introducing a shadow board in the autumn.

Cwestiynau ynglŷn â'r bwrdd unedol newydd a sut mae'r trefniadau yn dod yn eu blaen efo'r rheini: beth ydy'r amserlen? Rydych chi wedi sôn am gyflwyno bwrdd unedol cysgodol yn yr hydref.
Llywydd, diolchaf i Joyce Watson am hynna. Rhwng mis Chwefror a mis Medi eleni, cafwyd cynnydd o dros 120,000 o hawlwyr credyd cynhwysol yng Nghymru, ac roedd hwnnw yn gynnydd o 80 y cant. 271,186 o bobl oedd nifer yr hawlwyr ym mis Medi, o'i gymharu â 150,527 yn ôl ym mis Chwefror.

Llywydd, I thank Joyce Watson for that. Between February and September of this year, a rise of over 120,000 claimants of universal credit took place in Wales, and that was an increase of 80 per cent. The September claimant count stood at 271,186 people, compared to 150,527 back in February.

Diolch. Rwy'n credu eich bod chi'n codi pwynt pwysig iawn; ni ddylai'r gwerthfawrogiad sydd gennym ni am ein cyn-filwyr byth gael ei anghofio. Byddwch chi'n ymwybodol o'r gefnogaeth sylweddol y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei darparu i'n cyn-filwyr. Mae'r cwestiwn penodol yr oeddech chi'n ei ofyn ynghylch llinell gymorth 24/7 yn rhywbeth rwy'n gwybod y mae'r Dirprwy Weinidog, sydd yn y Siambr ac wedi clywed eich cwestiwn, yn ei ystyried.

Thank you. I think you raise a very important point; the gratitude that we have for our veterans should never be forgotten. You'll be aware of the significant support that the Welsh Government does provide for our veterans. The specific question you were asking regarding a 24/7 support line I know is something the Deputy Minister, who is in the Chamber and heard your question, is considering.
