Rwy'n credu roedd problem gyda'ch meicroffon ar un adeg yn y fan yna, Altaf Hussain. Rwy'n mynd i ddod yn ôl atoch chi ar ddiwedd y cwestiynau i weld a oes modd datrys y mater ar eich meicroffon. Rwy'n galw nawr ar Rhys ab Owen.

I think there was a problem with your microphone at one point there, Altaf Hussain. I'm going to come back to you at the end of questions to see if the issue can be resolved on your microphone. I will now call Rhys ab Owen.

Brif Weinidog, mae nifer o etholwyr wedi cysylltu â mi sydd wedi mynegi pryder ynghylch lefel eu hardrethi busnes, sy'n rhoi straen ar sefyllfa ariannol eu busnes. Gan eu bod y tu allan i'r trothwy ar gyfer rhyddhad ardrethi busnesau bach, mae'n rhaid iddynt dalu'r ardrethi busnes llawn, beth bynnag yw'r fforddiadwyedd. Oni bai bod y perchnogion busnesau bach hyn yn dod o hyd i safle llai, rhatach na'r safle y maent ynddo ar hyn o bryd, maen nhw'n gorfod talu biliau ardrethi enfawr. Pa gynllun sydd gan eich Llywodraeth i godi'r trothwy rhyddhad ardrethi a sicrhau bod rhyddhad ardrethi yn rhoi ystyriaeth i fforddiadwyedd?

First Minister, I've been contacted by a number of constituents who have expressed concern over the level of their business rates, which is putting a strain on their business finances. As they fall outside the threshold for small business rate relief, they have to pay the full business rates, irrespective of the affordability. Unless these small business owners find smaller, cheaper premises than these properties they are stuck with huge rates bills. What plan does your Government have to raise the rate relief threshold and ensure that rate relief has an affordability consideration?

Wel, nid wyf yn derbyn yr ateb hwnnw, Weinidog iechyd, gan fod hyn wedi'i ddatganoli fel cyfrifoldeb eich Llywodraeth ers bron i chwarter degawd. Ac mae'n ddiddorol eich bod chi'n dweud, yn ôl yn 2018, 2019, pan oeddech chi'n crafu'n ddiobaith am bleidleisiau, fod eich rhagflaenydd, Vaughan Gething, a fy rhagflaenydd i, Ann Jones o'r Blaid Lafur, wedi postio fideo ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol - [ Torri ar draws. ]

Well, I don't accept that answer really, health Minister, as this has been devolved as your Government's responsibility for nearly a quarter of a decade. And it's interesting you say that, as, back in 2018, 2019, when you were hopelessly scraping around for votes, your predecessor, Vaughan Gething, and my predecessor, Labour's Ann Jones, posted a social media video - [ Interruption.]

Diolch. Mae gan rai Aelodau brofiad o gynnal lleoliadau interniaeth yn y Cynulliad. Caiff y rhain eu rheoli ym mhleidiau gwleidyddol y Cynulliad a sefydliadau addysg uwch, neu gan Aelodau unigol trwy eu cysylltiadau eu hunain. Mae cyflwyno interniaid i waith y gwleidyddion a'r grwpiau gwleidyddol yn rhan bwysig o wneud y corff yma yn hygyrch ac o ennyn diddordeb pobl yn y gwaith yr ydym yn ei wneud yma. Byddai angen rhoi rhagor o ystyriaeth i'r syniad o symud i gynllun gan y Llywydd i ddarparu lleoliadau â thâl, o gofio'r trefniadau cymorth ariannol ar gyfer staff Aelodau'r Cynulliad.

Thank you. Some Members have experience of hosting internship placements in the Assembly. These are managed within the Assembly's political parties and higher education institutions, or by individual Members through their own contacts. Introducing interns to the work of the politicians and political groups is an important part of making this an accessible parliamentary body and engaging people in the work that we do here. Shifting to a Presiding Officer placement scheme would need further consideration given the financial support arrangements for Assembly Members' staffing.

'Ecosystem recriwtio' - rwy'n hoffi hwnna; mae hwnna'n dda. Diolch am hwnna, Weinidog. Roeddech chi wedi crybwyll pan roeddech chi'n sôn am y Bil efallai y byddai hwnna'n cynnwys pwerau ychwanegol i Weinidogion. A fyddech chi'n gallu cadarnhau beth oeddech chi'n awgrymu? Ai pwerau ymyrryd fyddai hwnna? Pa fath o bwerau ychwanegol efallai fyddai'n cael eu cynnwys?

'Recruitment ecosystem' - I like that; that's good. Thank you for that, Minister. You mentioned when you were talking about the Bill that perhaps that would include additional powers for Ministers. Could you confirm what you were suggesting there? Would they be intervention powers? What kinds of additional powers would be proposed?
