Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. I'm very pleased to be able to open this debate on the general principles of the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Bill. I'd like to focus my opening remarks on some of the themes and the purpose of the legislation, and then use the balance of my time to respond to Members, and points Members wish to raise, in my closing remarks.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Rwy'n falch iawn o allu agor y ddadl hon ar egwyddorion cyffredinol y Bil Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol a'r Tribiwnlys Addysg (Cymru). Hoffwn ganolbwyntio fy sylwadau agoriadol ar rai o'r themâu a phwrpas y ddeddfwriaeth, ac yna defnyddio gweddill fy amser i ymateb i Aelodau, ac i bwyntiau y mae Aelodau'n dymuno eu codi, yn fy sylwadau i gloi.
Cyn i ni nodi fe, dwi'n gweld ei fod wedi'i ysgrifennu at Mick Antoniw yn lle'r pwyllgor yma. Ydyn ni'n bwriadu cymryd unrhyw farn ar hyn?

Before we note it, I see that it's addressed to Mick Antoniw rather than to this committee. Do we intend to take a view on this?

Gwnaf. Croesawir y cyllid ychwanegol ond nid yw'n gwrthdroi'r toriadau i'n cyllideb gyfalaf dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Ein blaenoriaeth fydd sicrhau ein bod yn defnyddio'r cyllid ychwanegol hwn i gefnogi'r gwaith o greu a diogelu Cymru ffyniannus.

Yes. The additional funding is welcomed but it does not reverse the cuts to our capital budget over recent years. Our priority will be ensuring that we use this additional funding to support the creation of a prosperous and secure Wales.

Siŵr iawn. Mae gennym ni - [ Anghlywadwy.] - gynnig trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus cyflym ac effeithlon. O ystyried yr oedi anghyffredin a welsom ni o ran gweithredu'r prosiect trafnidiaeth hynod bwysig hwn, ni allwn ni ond dymuno'n dda i Lywodraeth Cymru yn hyn o beth -

Certainly. We have - [ Inaudible.] - fast, efficient public transport offer. Given the extraordinary delays we have experienced with regard to action on this massively important transport project, we can only wish Welsh Government well in this -

Byddaf nawr yn gwneud cynnig i fynd â'r cyfarfod yn breifat. Diolch.

I will now propose a motion to go into private session. Thank you.

Rwy'n ddiolchgar. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am y grant trosglwyddo gwastraff. Wrth gwrs, fe'i tynnwyd o bortffolio ei gyd-Ysgrifennydd Cabinet a'i roi yn uniongyrchol i awdurdodau lleol. Gellid dweud y bu hynny yn un o grantiau uniongyrchol mwyaf llwyddiannus Llywodraeth Cymru o ran gosod targedau ailgylchu uchel iawn, ac fe'i canmolwyd yn gwbl briodol gan y Llywodraeth ei hun fel un o'r llwyddiannau mawr yn y maes hwn. Beth y mae'n bwriadu ei wneud i sicrhau, er y cefnir ar yr egwyddor o glustnodi cyllid, bod y llwyddiannau hyn yn parhau? Oherwydd ymddengys fod rhywfaint o waith i'w wneud gyda rhai cynghorau.

I'm grateful. You mentioned the waste transfer grant. Of course, that was taken from the portfolio of his fellow Cabinet Secretary and given directly to local authorities. It could be said that that's been one of the most successful direct grants of Welsh Government in driving very high recycling targets and has been quite rightly praised by the Government itself as being one of the great successes in this field. What is he going to do to ensure that, although the principle of hypothecation is going, these successes continue? Because there does seem to be some work to be done with some councils.
Efallai bod y cwestiwn yn anghywir yn yr ystyr eu bod nhw'n iawn ac wedi bod yn iawn, ac wedi datblygu ar y sefyllfa rŷn ni wedi ei chael yn y gorffennol. Ond mae angen, rhywsut, newid y momentwm yn llwyr os ŷn ni eisiau cyrraedd y targedau, ac felly mae eisiau gweld rhywbeth mwy dwfn - a galwch e'n chwyldroadol - na'r system araf sydd gyda ni ar hyn o bryd.

Well, they're fine, they have been fine, and they are a development on what we've had in place in the past. But somehow, we need a shift of momentum if we are to reach our targets, so we need something more transformational than the sluggish system that we currently have.

Diolch. Cyn i ni fynd ymlaen, a wnaiff pawb ohonoch edrych ar eich ffonau symudol? Os oes gennych ffôn symudol ymlaen, a wnewch chi ei ddiffodd os gwelwch yn dda? Mae'n effeithio ar y darlledu a'r sŵn yn y Siambr. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Rwyf wedi dethol y pedwar gwelliant i'r cynnig, a galwaf ar Suzy Davies i gynnig gwelliannau 1, 2 a 3, a gyflwynwyd yn enw Paul Davies. Suzy.

Thank you. Before we go on, could you all check your mobile phones, please? If you've got a mobile phone on, can you please switch it off? It is affecting the broadcasting and the sound in the Chamber. Thank you very much. I have selected the four amendments to the motion, and I call on Suzy Davies to move amendments 1, 2 and 3, tabled in the name of Paul Davies. Suzy.

Rwy'n symud yn awr at lefarwyr y pleidiau i ofyn cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Yn gyntaf yr wythnos yma, llefarydd UKIP, Caroline Jones.

I now move to the party spokespeople to question the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport. First this week is UKIP spokesperson Caroline Jones.
Diolch yn fawr. Fel y nodais yn fy natganiad, cynghorir rhieni sy'n amau bod gan eu plant y dwymyn goch i gysylltu â'u meddyg teulu neu gysylltu ag 111. Mae'r cyfleusterau hynny ar gael ac mae pobl yn eu defnyddio. Byddwn yn awgrymu ar hyn o bryd na ddylent fynd i'r adran ddamweiniau ac achosion brys, oni bai eu bod yn cael eu cyfeirio gan 111 neu eu meddyg teulu.

Thanks very much. As I set out in my statement, parents who suspect their children have scarlet fever are advised that they should contact their GP or they should contact 111. Those facilities are available and people are using them. I would suggest at this point that they don't go to A&E, unless they are directed by 111 or their GP.
Many of us in the Chamber, Cabinet Secretary, are concerned about ensuring shorter economic supply chains in Wales to shore up local economies, and local energy generation is one key sector for that work. What steps can the Welsh Government take to encourage municipal energy generation in Wales?

Mae llawer ohonom yn y Siambr, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, yn pryderu ynglŷn â sicrhau cadwyni cyflenwi economaidd byrrach yng Nghymru i gynnal economïau lleol, ac mae cynhyrchu ynni lleol yn un sector allweddol ar gyfer y gwaith hwnnw. Pa gamau y gall Llywodraeth Cymru eu cymryd i annog cynhyrchu ynni trefol yng Nghymru?

We're developing a clear and consistent measuring framework across Government with the well-being indicators. We'll use those to track our economic progress over the longer term, and we are working with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and other partners to learn from best practice around the world.

Rydym ni'n datblygu fframwaith mesur eglur a chyson ar draws y Llywodraeth gyda'r dangosyddion llesiant. Byddwn yn defnyddio'r rheini i olrhain ein cynnydd economaidd dros y tymor hwy, ac rydym ni'n gweithio gyda'r Sefydliad ar gyfer Cydweithrediad a Datblygiad Economaidd a phartneriaid eraill i ddysgu o arfer gorau ledled y byd.

My apologies, Llywydd, I was so busy concentrating on what was going on on the screen and making sure that I'd unmuted myself there, I forgot to move the microphone, I'm very sorry.

Rwy'n ymddiheuro, Lywydd, roeddwn mor brysur yn canolbwyntio ar yr hyn a oedd yn digwydd ar y sgrin ac yn gwneud yn siŵr fy mod wedi agor y meic, fe anghofiais symud y meicroffon, mae'n ddrwg iawn gennyf.

Diolch. I intend to republish a revised technical advice note 20 on planning and the Welsh language before summer recess. The revised TAN will support the aims of the Government's new Welsh language strategy, Cymraeg 2050, and incorporate key messages from a new Welsh language risk assessment framework for major developments.

Diolch. Rwy'n bwriadu ailgyhoeddi nodyn cyngor technegol 20 wedi'i ddiwygio ar gynllunio a'r iaith Gymraeg cyn toriad yr haf. Bydd y nodyn cyngor technegol diwygiedig yn cefnogi amcanion strategaeth iaith Gymraeg newydd y Llywodraeth, Cymraeg 2050, ac yn cynnwys negeseuon allweddol o fframwaith asesu risg newydd i'r Gymraeg ar gyfer datblygiadau mawr.

I'm pleased this issue has been raised. Clearly, mental health is an issue that affects all areas, but our NHS staff clearly are vulnerable to the effects of it. You mentioned there - I think it was the Swansea area that you said there's an element of good practice. It's obviously important that that good practice is rolled out across the rest of Wales as soon as possible. So, could you tell us what steps you're taking to make sure that where there is good practice in a local health board other health boards that might not be experiencing such good practice are able to benefit from the lessons that have been learned?

Rwy'n falch fod y mater hwn wedi'i godi. Yn amlwg, mae iechyd meddwl yn fater sy'n effeithio ar bob maes, ond mae'n amlwg fod staff ein GIG yn agored i'w effeithiau. Fe sonioch chi - credaf mai yn ardal Abertawe y dywedoch fod yna elfen o arferion da. Mae'n amlwg yn bwysig fod yr arferion da hynny'n cael eu cyflwyno ledled gweddill Cymru cyn gynted â phosibl. Felly, a allech ddweud wrthym pa gamau rydych yn eu cymryd i sicrhau, lle ceir arferion da mewn bwrdd iechyd lleol, y gall byrddau iechyd eraill nad ydynt o bosibl yn arddangos arferion da o'r fath elwa o'r gwersi a ddysgwyd?

Having brought forward the groundbreaking Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 to provide Wales with the legislation to effectively tackle climate change, we are now committed to fully implementing them.

Ar ôl cyflwyno dwy Ddeddf arloesol, sef Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015 a Deddf yr Amgylchedd (Cymru) 2016, i sicrhau bod Cymru'n cael deddfwriaeth i ddelio'n effeithiol â'r newid yn yr hinsawdd, rŷm ni nawr yn ymrwymo i'w gweithredu nhw'n llawn.
Diolch yn fawr iawn, a bore da i chi i gyd. Croeso i gyfarfod cyntaf y Pwyllgor Diwylliant, Cyfathrebu, y Gymraeg, Chwaraeon a Chysylltiadau Rhyngwladol yn nhymor yr hydref. Yn ymuno â ni heddiw mae Sioned Williams, o'r Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg, gan ein bod ni'n gwneud gwaith ar y cyd o ran craffu ar y cynlluniau strategol Cymraeg mewn addysg fel rhan o'n hymchwiliad. Felly, croeso mawr, Sioned, atom ni. Gaf i ofyn i Aelodau i ddechrau, a oes yna unrhyw fuddiannau i'w datgan heddiw? Na. Yn amlwg, os oes yna rywbeth yn codi, mi fedrwch chi wastad sôn am fuddiannau hefyd wrth i'r sesiwn fynd rhagddi.

Thank you very much, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to the first meeting of the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport and International Relations Committee of this autumn term. Joining us today is Sioned Williams, from the Children, Young People and Education Committee, as we are undertaking joint work with regard to scrutiny of the Welsh in education strategic plans, as part of this inquiry. So, a very warm welcome to you, Sioned. May I ask Members initially whether they have any declarations of interest to make? No, I see that there are none. If anything should arise, you can mention any interests during the session.
So it is, Llywydd, that, while there are areas of good practice across the justice system, there are significant failings that need to be addressed. We cannot get away from the first paragraph of the report and its conclusion that Welsh citizens are not currently well served by the justice system. It is too often remote, unfeeling, inflexible and confusing. It can also be ruinously expensive. To many people in Wales today, the justice system as a protection when they need it is theoretical rather than real.

Felly, Llywydd, er bod rhai meysydd o arfer da ar draws y system gyfiawnder, mae angen mynd i'r afael â diffygion sylweddol. Ni allwn symud oddi wrth baragraff cyntaf yr adroddiad a'i gasgliad nad yw'r system gyfiawnder yn gwasanaethu dinasyddion Cymru yn dda ar hyn o bryd. Mae'n rhy aml yn bell, yn ddideimlad, yn anhyblyg ac yn ddryslyd. Gall hefyd fod yn andwyol o ddrud. I lawer o bobl yng Nghymru heddiw, mae'r syniad bod gennym system gyfiawnder sy'n eu hamddiffyn pan fydd ei hangen arnynt yn ddamcaniaethol yn hytrach na'n real.

Okay, thank you for that. Clearly, we'll pick up on that in our next session. We will move on, and we'll move now to Joyce.

Ocê, diolch am hynny. Yn amlwg, gwnawn ni bigo lan ar hwnna yn y sesiwn nesaf hefyd. Mi wnawn ni symud ymlaen, os ydy pawb yn hapus, ac mi ddof i nesaf at Joyce.

Can you just move closer to your microphone, Jenny? You're not being heard completely. Yes, can you put your headset on, Jenny?

A allwch symud yn agosach at eich microffon, Jenny? Nid ydym yn eich clywed yn iawn. Ie, a wnewch chi wisgo eich clustffonau, Jenny?
Byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe gallai'r Prif Weinidog egluro: a yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gofyn yn ei manyleb gan yr ymgeiswyr y bydd cyfleusterau toiled sy'n cydymffurfio â'r rheolau newydd ar yr holl drenau yn y metro?

I'd be grateful if the First Minister could just clarify: has the Welsh Government requested in its specification from the bidders that all trains in the metro will have toilet facilities that are compliant with the new rules on board?

Gan fod y cynnig a'r gwelliant wedi'u gwrthod, nid oes dim wedi'i dderbyn. Daw hynny â ni at ddiwedd y pleidleisio am heddiw. A wnaiff yr Aelodau sy'n gadael y Siambr wneud hynny'n dawel os gwelwch yn dda?

Seeing as the motion was not approved and the amendment was not approved, there's nothing approved. That brings us to the end of voting for today. Can the Members leaving the Chamber please do so quietly?

Cawsoch chi amser ar gyfer yr ymyriad; rwyf i wedi bod yn hael. [ Chwerthin.]

You had time for the intervention; I've been generous. [ Laughter.]

Diolch. Gallaf eich sicrhau'n llwyr, Delyth Jewell, fod hyn yn hollbwysig wrth inni gyflawni ein cynllun gweithredu cydraddoldeb hiliol ar gyfer Cymru wrth-hiliol. Yn amlwg, rwy'n ymwybodol o hyn, mae'n peri pryder mawr, ond hoffwn dynnu eich sylw hefyd at y rhaglen Taith gwerth £65 miliwn, sy'n agored i geisiadau yn awr, i gynorthwyo myfyrwyr a staff o bob sector addysg yng Nghymru i astudio a dysgu ledled y byd, ac sydd hefyd yn cydnabod bod gennym hanes balch o groesawu gweithwyr gofal iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol proffesiynol o bob cwr o'r byd. Fe welwch hyn yn ein cynllun ar ffurf camau gweithredu a chyflawni wrth inni fwrw ymlaen i gyhoeddi'r cynllun gweithredu cydraddoldeb hiliol terfynol ar gyfer Cymru wrth-hiliol.

Thank you. I can absolutely assure you, Delyth Jewell, that this is crucial to us delivering on our race equality action plan for an anti-racist Wales. Obviously, I'm aware of this, it's very concerning, but I would also draw your attention to the £65 million Taith programme, open for applications now, supporting students and staff from all education sectors in Wales to study and learn across the globe, and also recognising we do have a proud history of welcoming healthcare and social care professionals from all over the world. You'll see this in our plan in terms of actions and delivery as we move to publish the final race equality action plan for an anti-racist Wales.
Diolch yn fawr iawn, iawn i chi am eich amser y bore yma a diolch am dreulio ychydig bach yn hirach efo ni nag yr oedden ni wedi'i amserlennu. Mi fydd yna dransgript yn dod allan i chi i gyd tsiecio i wneud yn siŵr ei fod yn gywir. Plis gwnewch hynny. Ond, eto, i ategu beth mae pobl eraill wedi'i ddweud, diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am yr holl waith rydych chi yn ei wneud, achos mae'n hynod o bwysig mewn amser sydd yn sialens.

Thank you very much for your time this morning and thank you for spending a little bit longer with us than we'd originally planned. There will be a transcript provided for you to check that it's correct. Please do so. But, again, just to endorse what other people have said, thank you very much for all the work that you are doing, because it is extremely important in a very challenging time.
Fel y dywedais wrth ateb cwestiynau cynharach, Andrew, rydym yn gweithio ar draws y Llywodraeth i flaenoriaethu gwasanaethau rheng flaen, boed hynny'n addysg, gwasanaethau cymdeithasol neu'r ystod o wasanaethau cyhoeddus eraill y mae aelodau'r cyhoedd yn disgwyl i Lywodraeth Cymru eu darparu. Nid yw'r mwyafrif llethol o gyllid addysg yn dod o'r adran addysg. Mae'n dod, fel y nodwyd gan eich arweinydd yn gynharach mewn cwestiynau, drwy'r grant cynnal refeniw ar gyfer llywodraeth leol. Byddwn yn gwneud popeth a allwn i sicrhau bod addysg a llywodraeth leol yn cael yn dda yn y gyllideb hon.

As I said in answer to earlier questions, Andrew, we are working across Government to prioritise front-line services, whether that be education, social services or the range of other public services that the members of the public expect this Welsh Government to deliver. The vast majority of education funding does not come from the education department. It comes, as was identified by your leader earlier on in questions, via the revenue support grant for local government. We will do everything that we can to ensure both education and local government get a great deal in this budget.
Ond, wrth gwrs, y Cynulliad ddylai benderfynu hynny; nid chi fel yr ombwdsmon ddylai ddweud eich bod chi eisiau mwy o bwerau. Mae fyny i'r Cynulliad edrych ar y sefyllfa, ac nid yw lobïo y Llywodraeth yn briodol yn yr achos yna.

But, of course, it's the Assembly that should be deciding that; it's not your place as the ombudsman to say that you want more powers. It's up to the Assembly to look at the situation, and lobbying the Government isn't appropriate in this particular case.
Ar y pwynt hwnnw, a ydych chi'n gresynu at y cywair gwleidyddiaeth plaid sydd wedi dod yn unig heddiw oddi ar feinciau'r Blaid Geidwadol?

On that point, will you therefore express some regret at the party political tone that has come today only from the benches of the Conservative Party?
Diolch, Weinidog. Fel y gwyddoch, mae'r pecyn cymorth COVID diweddaraf wedi cau ar gyfer ceisiadau newydd. Clywais gan nifer o fusnesau yn fy etholaeth nad oeddent yn bodloni'r meini prawf ar gyfer cymorth, beth bynnag fo'r rheswm, ac maent bellach mewn sefyllfa beryglus, yn wynebu colled ariannol sylweddol sy'n peryglu eu dyfodol hirdymor. Felly, Weinidog, pa gymorth hirdymor y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei gynnig o fewn y setliad datganoli sydd gennym ar hyn o bryd i helpu busnesau a helpu economi Cymru i ffynnu yn y misoedd a'r blynyddoedd i ddod? Ac mewn perthynas â'r rownd ddiwethaf o gymorth COVID, a allwch chi wneud sylwadau ar y nifer o fusnesau a gafodd y cymorth hwnnw a'r ardaloedd daearyddol lle'r oedd y busnesau hynny wedi'u lleoli? Diolch, Lywydd.

Thank you, Minister. As you know, the latest COVID support package closed for applications. I've heard from a number of businesses in my constituency who did not meet the criteria for support, whatever the reason, and they're finding themselves now in a perilous position, facing significant financial loss and placing their long-term future in doubt. So, Minister, what long-term support can the Welsh Government offer within the current devolution settlement we currently have to help businesses and help the Welsh economy thrive in the coming months and years? And in relation to the last round of COVID support, can you comment on the take-up of how many businesses accessed that support and the geographical areas where those businesses were based? Diolch, Llywydd.
Iawn. Gadewch i'r Aelod barhau heb ymyrraeth, os gwelwch yn dda.

Okay. Allow the Member to carry on without interruption, please.
Wel, diolch yn fawr am eich cwestiwn, Buffy Williams. Mae'r trydydd sector wedi chwarae rhan bwysig, yn genedlaethol ac yn lleol, o ran mynd i'r afael â'r materion hyn ar ran y teuluoedd hynny - felly, y nifer o aelwydydd y maent yn gweithio gyda hwy sydd wedi'u taro galetaf gan yr argyfwng costau byw Torïaidd. Nawr, gwnaethom gynnal uwchgynhadledd bord gron yn ôl ar 17 Chwefror gyda rhanddeiliaid allanol allweddol, gan gynnwys y trydydd sector, National Energy Action, Ymddiriedolaeth Trussell a Cyngor ar Bopeth, a buom yn archwilio beth arall y gellid ei wneud i gefnogi teuluoedd sy'n ei chael hi'n anodd ymdopi â'r argyfwng costau byw hwn. Cawsom un arall ar drechu tlodi bwyd. Ond yn hollbwysig, bydd ein grŵp cynghori ar dlodi tanwydd yn cyfarfod ar 13 Mehefin, a byddant yn rhoi cymorth i ni gan y sector gwirfoddol a'r sector ynni i gydgysylltu camau gweithredu i wella cydnerthedd aelwydydd cyn y gaeaf.

Well, thank you very much, Buffy Williams, for that question. The third sector has been very involved nationally and locally in terms of addressing these issues for those families - so, many households they work with that are hardest hit by the Tory cost-of-living crisis. Now, we held a round-table summit back on 17 February with key external stakeholders, including the third sector, National Energy Action, the Trussell Trust and Citizens Advice, and we explored what more could be done to support hard-pressed families through this cost-of-living crisis. We had a further one on tackling food poverty. But, importantly, our fuel poverty advisory group is taking place on 13 June, and they will help us from the voluntary and energy sector to co-ordinate action to improve household resilience in advance of winter.
Thank you very much, and I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport to reply to the debate - Vaughan Gething.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, ac rwy'n galw ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon i ymateb i'r ddadl - Vaughan Gething.
Ac ie, jest i gadarnhau, dydy'r Gweinidog ddim yn symud gwelliant 6.

And just to confirm, the Minister does not wish to move amendment 6.
The next item is the topical questions, and two have been accepted today. And the first is to be answered by the Minister for economy and to be asked by Russell George.

Yr eitem nesaf yw'r cwestiynau amserol, ac mae dau wedi eu dewis heddiw. Ac mae'r cyntaf i'w ateb gan y Gweinidog economi ac i'w ofyn gan Russell George.
