I thank the Cabinet Secretary. The second question - Eluned Morgan.

Diolch i'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet. Yr ail gwestiwn - Eluned Morgan.

Thank you very much. And, according to what I've read, there is some contradictory evidence in terms of the transmission of the virus from children to older people. So, it's important that we are careful, as you've just said. If we could turn now to the reopening of schools, which is due to happen in Wales at the end of the month. And can I ask you all for your perspectives on the timing of that?

Iawn. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Ac yn ôl beth dwi wedi'i ddarllen hefyd, mae yna dystiolaeth sydd yn gwrthddweud ei hunan o safbwynt trosglwyddo'r feirws o blant i'r genhedlaeth hŷn ac yn y blaen, felly mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n bod yn ofalus, fel rydych chi'n ei ddweud. Fedrwn ni droi at ailagor yr ysgolion, sydd yn digwydd yng Nghymru, wrth gwrs, ddiwedd y mis? A fedraf i ofyn i chi gyd am eich safbwynt chi ynglŷn â'r amseru hynny?
Well, Theresa May referred to this in her speech this morning. We did have a common travel area with the Irish republic long before either of us were members of the EU. This is a practical question that does need to be solved, and there's no reason to think it can't be solved. But what I'm interested in, as a result of - [Interruption.]

Wel, cyfeiriodd Theresa May at hyn yn ei haraith y bore yma. Roedd gennym ni ardal deithio gyffredin gyda gweriniaeth Iwerddon ymhell cyn bod yr un ohonom ni'n aelodau o'r UE. Mae hwn yn gwestiwn ymarferol y mae angen ei ddatrys, ac nid oes unrhyw reswm i feddwl na ellir ei ddatrys. Ond yr hyn y mae gennyf i ddiddordeb ynddo, o ganlyniad i - [Torri ar draws.]

The Member for Torfaen compares Brexit to the collapse of Yugoslavia. Is she really making a comparison to that bloodshed and hundreds of thousands of deaths? When she talks about civil society, is she not aware that the majority of society voted for this?

Mae'r Aelod dros Dorfaen yn cymharu Brexit â chwymp Iwgoslafia. Ydy hi'n wir yn gwneud cymhariaeth â'r tywallt gwaed hwnnw a'r cannoedd o filoedd o farwolaethau? Pan mae hi'n siarad am gymdeithas sifil, onid yw hi'n ymwybodol fod y rhan fwyaf o'r gymdeithas wedi pleidleisio dros hyn?

Therefore, I would ask Members if you're content that, under Standing Order 17.42, we resolve to exclude the public from the next item, item 4, and items 7 and 8 of the meeting today? Are you content with that? I see that Members are content, and therefore we will move into private session.

Os felly, licen i ofyn i'r Aelodau, a ydych chi'n fodlon, o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42, i wahardd y cyhoedd o'r eitem nesaf, sef eitem 4, ac wedyn 7 ac 8 y cyfarfod heddiw? Ydych chi'n fodlon â hynny? Rwy'n gweld bod Aelodau yn fodlon, ac felly mi fyddwn ni'n symud mewn i sesiwn breifat.

Cabinet Secretary, such is the confusion now over the winding up of Communities First in our communities that a number of permanent vacancies are still being advertised online. What steps are you taking to ensure that taxpayers' money is not being wasted on further recruitment processes for a scheme that you are technically winding down?

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae cymaint o ddryswch erbyn hyn ynglŷn â dirwyn Cymunedau yn Gyntaf i ben yn ein cymunedau fel bod nifer o swyddi gwag parhaol yn dal i gael eu hysbysebu ar-lein. Pa gamau rydych yn eu cymryd i sicrhau nad yw arian y trethdalwyr yn cael ei wastraffu ar brosesau recriwtio pellach ar gyfer cynllun yr ydych, yn dechnegol, yn ei ddirwyn i ben?

Just moving away slightly from any Dickensian wordplay, do you accept that local government has suffered in funding priorities, compared to other portfolios here? 'Hard times; for these times', as Dickens would say.

Os caf symud i ffwrdd o chwarae ar eiriau Dickensadd, a ydych yn derbyn bod llywodraeth leol wedi dioddef oherwydd blaenoriaethau cyllido, o'i gymharu â phortffolios eraill yma? 'Amseroedd caled; ar gyfer yr amseroedd hyn', fel y dywedai Dickens.
Thank you for that statement. As the Minister knows, stakeholders generally feel that the policy direction of the Welsh Government's strategy, 'Woodlands for Wales', is appropriate. In a recent debate on a report by the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee, I raised the importance of increasing access to and community benefits from woodland. What progress has been made on this since the CCERA report?

Diolch i chi am y datganiad hwnnw. Fel y gŵyr y Gweinidog, mae rhanddeiliaid yn teimlo'n gyffredinol fod cyfeiriad polisi strategaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, 'Coetiroedd i Gymru', yn briodol. Mewn dadl ddiweddar ar adroddiad gan y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig, soniais am bwysigrwydd cynyddu mynediad at goetiroedd a manteision cymunedol coetiroedd. Pa gynnydd a wnaed ar hyn ers adroddiad y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig?

Forgive me for observing, Cabinet Secretary, that that was rather short on detail in that response. What we are dealing with here are long-term cases of promises that have not been kept by the companies involved. I have a constituent who's written to me from Abergorlech, in the Carmarthen East and Dinefwr constituency, who was promised an upgrade to fibre broadband in 2015; it didn't happen. He was then promised that it would be by June of this year; it hasn't happened. He's recently been told that he'll have to wait now until at least the spring of next year before there's any prospect of improvement. So, I wonder what practical action the Welsh Government can take to put pressure on the companies who are responsible for rolling out broadband in these areas?

Maddeuwch i mi am nodi, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, fod yr ymateb hwnnw braidd yn brin o fanylion. Yr hyn rydym yn sôn amdano yma yw achosion hirdymor o addewidion wedi'u torri gan y cwmnïau dan sylw. Mae gennyf etholwr a ysgrifennodd ataf o Abergorlech, yn etholaeth Dwyrain Caerfyrddin a Dinefwr, a gafodd addewid o uwchraddiad i fand eang ffeibr yn 2015; ni ddigwyddodd hynny. Yna cafodd addewid y buasai'n digwydd erbyn mis Mehefin eleni; nid yw hynny wedi digwydd. Cafodd wybod yn ddiweddar y bydd yn rhaid iddo aros tan y gwanwyn y flwyddyn nesaf cyn y bydd unrhyw obaith o welliant. Felly, tybed pa gamau ymarferol y gall Llywodraeth Cymru eu cymryd i roi pwysau ar y cwmnïau sy'n gyfrifol am gyflwyno band eang yn yr ardaloedd hyn?

UK Government must act to tackle the long-term legacy cost to Wales of remediation, reclamation and repurposing of coal tip sites, which are a legacy of the pre-devolution mining industry. At least £600 million is needed over a decade and a half, far more than anticipated when devolution and our current funding arrangements began.

Rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU weithredu i fynd i'r afael â'r gost etifeddol hirdymor i Gymru o atgyweirio, adfer ac ail-lunio safleoedd tomenni glo, a etifeddwyd gan y diwydiant glo cyn datganoli. Mae angen o leiaf £600 miliwn dros ddegawd a hanner, llawer mwy na'r disgwyl pan ddechreuodd datganoli a'n trefniadau ariannu presennol.
Diolch. Un cwestiwn olaf gen i. Rwyf eisiau gofyn ydych chi'n cytuno â'r farn a fynegwyd yn adroddiad Meilyr Rowlands fod consensws eang cyn y pandemig ynghylch beth oedd yr arferion gorau ar gyfer gwella presenoldeb. Hefyd, beth, yn eich barn chi, fyddai canlyniadau cael trothwy cenedlaethol ar gyfer diffinio absenoldeb parhaus?

Thank you. One final question from me. I just wanted to ask whether you agree with the view expressed in Meilyr Rowlands's report that there was a broad consensus pre-pandemic regarding what constituted best practice for improving attendance. And, what, in your view, would be the consequences of having a national threshold for defining persistent absenteeism?
Bore da. Wrth sbïo ar eich tystiolaeth ysgrifenedig chi, dŷch chi'n dweud bod angen ei gwneud hi'n hollol eglur i rieni, gwarcheidwaid a'r cyhoedd nad ydy'r ddeddfwriaeth yma'n ceisio gwneud rhieni yn droseddwyr, ac mae hynny, yn amlwg, yn bwysig gennych chi. Sut dŷch chi'n credu mae gwneud hynny, a phwy ddylai fod yn gwneud y gwaith yma?

Good morning. In looking at your written evidence, you say that we must make it very clear to parents, guardians and the public that this legislation is not trying to criminalise parents, and that is clearly very important for you. How do you think we should do that and who should be doing that work?
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, but actually Bethan Jenkins has already asked the question I was going to ask in terms of the issue around FIFA, and I think the Cabinet Secretary has responded to that. But, while I'm on my feet, I would like to just add my congratulations to D.J. Rees Decorating Services of Merthyr, which won the gold award for supporting the employability of our armed forces.

Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd, ond mewn gwirionedd mae Bethan Jenkins eisoes wedi gofyn y cwestiwn yr oeddwn yn mynd i ofyn ynghylch mater FIFA, ac rwy'n credu bod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi ymateb i hynny. Ond, tra fy mod ar fy nhraed, hoffwn hefyd longyfarch Gwasanaethau Addurno D. J. Rees o Ferthyr, a enillodd y wobr aur am gefnogi cyflogadwyedd ein lluoedd arfog.
Yn iawn. Ymddiheuriadau. Gareth Davies.

Okay. Apologies. Gareth Davies.
Thank you for your response there, Minister. I'm really concerned at seeing that number of uncontested seats, with 28 of those being in Gwynedd and 19 in Pembrokeshire. It's really disappointing that that's taking place, removing the ability for what I would see as proper democracy to take place via a vote. I'm sure, Minister, you saw the BBC news article earlier this month that did highlight, regretfully, that online abuse has forced many councillors to quit or no longer want to stand, along with potential candidates who simply don't want to be on the receiving end of that bullying. An example of this was from Huw George, who is a baptist minister in Pembrokeshire, who said he's always welcomed the scrutiny of political decisions but personal attacks on both his use of the Welsh language and on his faith are, of course, completely unacceptable. So, Minister, would you agree with me that this needs addressing? Our councillors and candidates should not be receiving this horrid personal abuse. Would you also, in the same breath, join me in thanking those people who are putting themselves up for election next week and wish them all the best in standing for those elections?

Diolch am eich ymateb, Weinidog. Rwy'n bryderus iawn wrth weld y nifer hwnnw o seddi diymgeisydd, gyda 28 ohonynt yng Ngwynedd a 19 yn sir Benfro. Mae'n wirioneddol siomedig fod hynny'n digwydd, gan rwystro'r hyn y byddwn yn ei ystyried yn ddemocratiaeth briodol rhag digwydd drwy bleidlais. Rwy'n siŵr, Weinidog, eich bod wedi gweld erthygl newyddion y BBC yn gynharach y mis hwn a nodai, yn anffodus, fod camdriniaeth ar-lein wedi gorfodi llawer o gynghorwyr i roi'r gorau iddi neu golli'r awydd i sefyll, ynghyd ag ymgeiswyr posibl nad ydynt yn dymuno cael eu bwlio. Enghraifft o hyn oedd Huw George, sy'n weinidog gyda'r Bedyddwyr yn sir Benfro, a ddywedodd ei fod bob amser wedi croesawu'r craffu ar benderfyniadau gwleidyddol ond bod ymosodiadau personol ar ei ddefnydd o'r Gymraeg ac ar ei ffydd, wrth gwrs, yn gwbl annerbyniol. Felly, Weinidog, a fyddech yn cytuno â mi fod angen mynd i'r afael â hyn? Ni ddylai ein cynghorwyr a'n hymgeiswyr orfod wynebu'r gamdriniaeth bersonol erchyll honno. A fyddech hefyd, yn yr un gwynt, yn ymuno â mi i ddiolch i'r bobl sy'n sefyll etholiadau yr wythnos nesaf a dymuno'r gorau iddynt wrth iddynt sefyll yn yr etholiadau hynny?
Yes. And lay off the salmon. Good, good. And I think the point on spatial planning is important - terrestrial spatial planning, and then we have marine spatial planning. Well, surely there shouldn't be a disconnect either. We need that seamless spatial planning for terrestrial and marine, as far as I'm concerned. Using the work that we're now seeing accelerate in terms of developing renewable energy to enrich our data, to fill some of those evidence gaps, I think, is absolutely something that needs to happen. So, this report, as I said, is very much a starter for 10. It's a snapshot of where we are. It's a snapshot of, I think, what we all know needs doing, but, if I was to simplistically sum up our message to Government, really it's, 'Get on with it.'

Ie. A gadewch i'r eog fod. Da iawn, da iawn. A chredaf fod y pwynt ynglŷn â chynllunio gofodol yn bwysig - cynllunio gofodol daearol, ac yna mae gennym gynllunio gofodol morol. Wel, yn sicr, ni ddylai fod datgysylltiad rhwng y ddau beth hynny ychwaith. Mae arnom angen y cynllunio gofodol di-dor hwnnw ar gyfer cynllunio daearol a morol, yn fy marn i. Yn sicr, credaf fod angen defnyddio'r gwaith a welwn yn cyflymu ar hyn o bryd o ran datblygu ynni adnewyddadwy i gyfoethogi ein data, er mwyn llenwi rhywfaint o'r bylchau yn y dystiolaeth. Felly, mae'r adroddiad hwn, fel y dywedais, yn fan cychwyn. Mae'n gipolwg o lle rydym arni. Mae'n gipolwg, yn fy marn i, o'r hyn y gŵyr pob un ohonom fod angen ei wneud, ond pe bawn yn crynhoi ein neges yn syml i'r Llywodraeth, 'Dewch yn eich blaenau' fyddai'r neges honno.
Yes. I do think, absolutely we have a role. So, we've had the broad consultation on new permitted development rights, and that included mobile phone infrastructure. As I say, that closed in September. It proposed changes to mast height, mast width, and the emergency use of mobile telecommunications. I'm considering whether to bring forward an amendment Order. That would be made in January and then come into force in the spring.

Ydw. Rwyf yn credu, heb unrhyw amheuaeth, fod gennym ni swyddogaeth. Felly, rydym ni wedi cael yr ymgynghoriad cyffredinol ar hawliau datblygu newydd a ganiateir, ac roedd hynny'n cynnwys seilwaith ffonau symudol. Fel y dywedaf, daeth hynny i ben ym mis Medi. Roedd yn cynnig newidiadau i uchder mastiau, lled mastiau, a defnydd brys telathrebu symudol. Rwy'n ystyried a ddylid cyflwyno Gorchymyn diwygio. Byddai hynny'n cael ei wneud ym mis Ionawr ac wedyn yn dod i rym yn y gwanwyn.
Arweinydd y tŷ, byddwch fwy na thebyg wedi clywed rhai o'r sylwadau yn y cyfryngau heddiw am bryderon Comisiynydd Pobl Hŷn Cymru am brofiad pobl sy'n byw mewn cartrefi gofal, rai blynyddoedd wedi iddi wneud ei hargymhellion gwreiddiol. Er ei bod hi'n gwneud rhai sylwadau cadarnhaol iawn am y ddeddfwriaeth a gyflwynwyd ers hynny, yn ogystal â'r arolwg seneddol ar iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, roedd hi'n dweud bod rhai pethau sylfaenol iawn fel rheoli ymataliaeth ac - ni allaf gofio beth arall oedd ganddi, erbyn hyn - atal codymau, yn mynd ar goll. Tybed a oes modd inni gael diweddariad ar gynnydd gan y Llywodraeth yn erbyn yr argymhellion, gan ganolbwyntio'n benodol ar y pethau sy'n mynd ar goll. Diolch.

Leader of the house, you probably picked up some of the media coverage today about the Older People's Commissioner for Wales's concerns about the experience of people living in care homes, some years after her original recommendations. And, while she was making some very positive remarks about the legislation that has been brought in since then and also the parliamentary review into health and social care, she did say that some very basic things like continence management and - I can't remember what else it was, now - falls prevention were being missed. I'm wondering if we could have an update on progress from the Government against all the recommendations, but with specific focus on the ones that are being missed. Thank you.
As far as I know, I don't think we have any plastic straws left in our cafes, but I can't be 100 per cent sure, but the intention is to get rid of them, yes.

Hyd fy ngwybodaeth i, nid wyf yn meddwl bod gwellt plastig ar ôl gyda ni yn ein caffis ni, ond ni allaf fod 100 y cant yn sicr, ond y bwriad yw i ddileu, ie.
Gweinidog, mae'r cylchoedd meithrin a'r cylchoedd chwarae cyn-ysgol eisoes yn orlawn, ac mae pryder gwirioneddol, pan ddaw'r polisi derbyn i ysgolion newydd i rym ym Mhowys ym mis Medi, y bydd y pwysau ar y cylchoedd chwarae yn anghynaladwy. A gaf fi ofyn beth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud i gynnal y pwysau ychwanegol ar y cylchoedd chwarae hyn?

Minister, 'cylch meithrin' and pre-school playgroups are already oversubscribed, and there is a real concern that, when the new school admissions policy in Powys comes into force in September, the pressure on playgroups will be unsustainable. Can I ask what the Welsh Government is doing to support the additional pressures on these playgroups?
That's an interesting question. It's one that I will pursue with colleagues. We have a board of Ministers who have responsibility for legislation within their portfolios who get together very frequently to discuss the progress of legislation, and I think that might be a useful forum in which to have some of those discussions. So, it's an interesting proposition and I'll certainly give it some further thought and discussion with colleagues.

Dyna gwestiwn diddorol. Mae'n un y byddaf yn mynd ar ei drywydd gyda chyd-Weinidogion. Mae gennym fwrdd o Weinidogion sy'n gyfrifol am ddeddfwriaeth o fewn eu portffolios sy'n dod at ei gilydd yn aml iawn i drafod cynnydd deddfwriaeth, a chredaf y gallai hwnnw fod yn fforwm defnyddiol i gael rhai o'r trafodaethau hynny. Felly, mae'n gynnig diddorol a byddaf yn sicr yn ei ystyried ymhellach ac yn ei drafod gyda chyd-Weinidogion.
Diolch am y cwestiwn. Mae'r bwrdd iechyd wedi derbyn yn llawn y methiannau a'r argymhellion a nodwyd yn yr achos unigol hwn. Rwy'n falch y bydd prif weithredwr y bwrdd iechyd yn ymddiheuro'n bersonol i'r claf dan sylw. Rwy'n disgwyl i'r bwrdd iechyd roi camau cyflym ar waith mewn perthynas â'r argymhellion, a bydd swyddogion o Lywodraeth Cymru yn monitro cynnydd yn ofalus.

Thank you for the question. The health board has fully accepted the identified failings and recommendations in this individual case. I'm pleased the chief executive of the health board will apologise personally to the patient concerned. I expect the health board to take swift action on the recommendations, and officials from the Welsh Government will be monitoring progress closely.
Fe gododd sefyllfa arbennig yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf oherwydd nad oedd un o'n swyddogion ni a oedd yn delio'n uniongyrchol â chyllid, ac felly'n gyfrifydd, yn gallu darparu ei wasanaethau am gyfnod. Felly, roedd yn rhaid inni brynu i mewn adnodd i gadw'r sefydliad i fynd.

A particular situation arose during the last year because one of our officials who dealt directly with finance, and was an accountant, wasn't able to provide services for a period of time. Therefore, we had to buy in that resource in order to keep the organisation moving.
Members, we will move to item 5, which is papers to note. We do have a long list of papers to note, from item 5.1 in the pack to 5.16. Are Members happy to note the papers all together, or is there anything that anybody wants to raise?

Aelodau, fe wnawn ni symud at eitem 5, sef papurau i'w nodi. Mae gennym ni restr hirfaith o eitemau ysgrifenedig i'w nodi, o eitem 5.1 yn y pac i eitem 5.16. Ydy'r Aelodau yn fodlon inni nodi'r papurau ar y cyd, neu - oni bai bod unrhyw un eisiau codi unrhyw beth?

The next item, therefore, is the 90-second statement, and that statement comes from Dai Lloyd.

Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r datganiad 90 eiliad, a'r datganiad hwnnw gan Dai Lloyd.
I thank Jack Sargeant for that. The work of the board continues to develop, as does the safeguarding landscape in Wales. In January I chaired the inaugural meeting of the single unified safeguarding review board of Wales, which includes representatives from the National Independent Safeguarding Board.

Diolch i Jack Sargeant am hynna. Mae gwaith y bwrdd yn parhau i ddatblygu, felly hefyd y dirwedd ddiogelu yng Nghymru. Ym mis Ionawr cadeiriais gyfarfod cyntaf un bwrdd adolygu diogelu unedig sengl Cymru, sy'n cynnwys cynrychiolwyr o'r Bwrdd Diogelu Annibynnol Cenedlaethol.
Thank you. I regularly meet with the Minister for International Relations and the Welsh Language to discuss various issues, including tourism. I've recently written to the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism about the breadth of support my portfolio provides to the tourism industry.

Diolch. Byddaf yn cyfarfod yn rheolaidd â Gweinidog y Gymraeg a Chysylltiadau Rhyngwladol i drafod materion amrywiol, gan gynnwys twristiaeth. Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu at y Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth yn ddiweddar ynghylch ehangder y cymorth y mae fy mhortffolio yn ei roi i'r diwydiant twristiaeth.
Can I thank the Member for her question? I'm delighted that the dragon, the Caerphilly dragon, was received so well in Delyn and at Flint castle. The pictures that I've seen show that many, many visitors, particularly young visitors, thoroughly enjoyed seeing the red dragon there. At this time of the year, when we're celebrating an incredible performance by our national football squad, it's a particularly appropriate time for the dragon to visit Flint last weekend. I'm pleased to be able to say that we will be investing in a new visitor centre at Flint castle, and Flint castle will benefit from a world-class installation, which is part and parcel of a national competition that's taking place as part of the Year of Legends.

A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei chwestiwn? Rwyf wrth fy modd fod y ddraig, draig Caerffili, wedi cael cymaint o groeso yn Nelyn ac yng nghastell y Fflint. Mae'r lluniau a welais yn dangos bod llawer iawn o ymwelwyr, yn enwedig ymwelwyr ifanc, wedi mwynhau gweld y ddraig goch yno. Ar yr adeg hon o'r flwyddyn, a ninnau'n dathlu perfformiad anhygoel ein carfan bêl-droed cenedlaethol, roedd hi'n adeg arbennig o briodol i'r ddraig ymweld â'r Fflint y penwythnos diwethaf. Rwy'n falch o allu dweud y byddwn yn buddsoddi mewn canolfan ymwelwyr newydd yng nghastell y Fflint, a bydd castell y Fflint yn elwa o safle o'r radd flaenaf, sy'n rhan o gystadleuaeth genedlaethol a gynhelir yn rhan o Flwyddyn y Chwedlau.
