A gaf fi longyfarch Jayne hefyd am gyflwyno'r set bwysig a blaengar hon o faterion i'r Cynulliad heddiw? Mae mor bwysig i blant gael y dechrau gorau mewn bywyd, onid yw? Nid oes yr un ohonom yn gwybod beth y gall bywyd ei daflu atom, felly mae datblygu gwytnwch emosiynol mor bwysig dros holl lwybr ein bywyd. Fel eraill, hoffwn innau dynnu sylw at ysgol yn fy etholaeth, Ysgol Gynradd Somerton, a gafodd gydnabyddiaeth gan Estyn am ei bod yn dangos esiampl dda iawn mewn perthynas â'r dull anogaeth. Maent wedi bod yn cynnal rhaglen anogaeth genedlaethol nurtureuk i ysgolion, ac mae'r staff yno'n credu ei bod wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol gadarnhaol i'r disgyblion yn yr ysgol honno. Os caf innau, fel Hefin, ddyfynnu un o aelodau'r staff a ddywedodd, 'Mae wedi helpu o ddifrif i newid yn sylweddol er gwell, gyda hyder a hunan-barch cynyddol, rhannu a chydweithredu, a chynhyrchu gwell strategaethau ar gyfer ymdopi mewn gwahanol sefyllfaoedd cymdeithasol. Mae ymddygiad a'r agweddau at ddysgu i gyd wedi gwella.'

May I congratulate Jayne as well for bringing this very important and progressive set of matters to the Assembly today? It's so important that children get the best start in life, isn't it? None of us know what life may throw at us, so developing that emotional resilience is so important for the whole of our life course. I'd like to, as have others, highlight a school in my constituency, Somerton primary, which has been recognised by Estyn as showing a very good example in terms of the nurture approach. They've been running nurtureuk's national nurturing schools programme, and staff there believe it's made a real, positive difference to the pupils in that school. If I, as Hefin did, could just quote one of the staff members, who said that, 'It has really helped a significant change for the better, with growing confidence and self-esteem, sharing and co-operating, and producing better strategies to cope in different social situations. Behaviour and attitudes to learning have all improved.'

Prif Weinidog, ceir wyth ardal fenter ledled Cymru. Nid oes yr un ohonyn nhw yn fy etholaeth i. Byddwn i'n dweud, yn y canolbarth, bod diddordeb mawr mewn entrepreneuriaeth a bod lefel uwch o fusnesau newydd nag efallai mewn rhannau eraill o Gymru. Felly, yr hyn y byddwn yn ei ofyn i chi, Prif Weinidog, yw: a ydych chi'n credu bod achos dros ardal fenter, neu gytundeb twf, ar gyfer y canolbarth, sy'n canolbwyntio'n arbennig ar dyfu busnesau a chreu swyddi sy'n talu'n well?

First Minister, there are eight enterprise zones across Wales. None of them cover my own constituency. I would say, in mid Wales, there is a great feel for entrepreneurship and there is a higher level of business start-ups than perhaps in other parts of Wales. So, what I would ask you, First Minister, is: do you think there is a case for an enterprise zone, or a growth deal, for mid Wales, particularly focused on growing businesses and creating higher paid jobs?

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio'n agos gyda llywodraeth leol yng Nghymru drwy amrywiaeth o fecanweithiau ymgysylltu ffurfiol ac anffurfiol ar draws pob portffolio. Mae Gweinidogion yn gweithio gydag arweinwyr, ac mae ein swyddogion yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd, i sicrhau eu bod yn datblygu polisïau gwell a chanlyniadau gwell wrth ddarparu gwasanaethau i bobl Cymru.

Welsh Government works closely with local government in Wales through a range of formal and informal engagement mechanisms across all portfolios. Ministers work with leaders, and our officials work together, to achieve better policy development and service delivery outcomes for the people of Wales.

Diolch, Prif Weinidog. Mae nifer y staff llywodraeth leol ledled Cymru a gymerodd absenoldeb cysylltiedig â straen y llynedd 18 y cant yn uwch nag yn y ddwy flynedd flaenorol. Cymerodd 807 o staff yng nghyngor Caerffili absenoldeb cysylltiedig â straen y llynedd, ac ym Merthyr Tudful, roedd y nifer fwy na thair gwaith yn fwy, o 105 i 318. Prif Weinidog, a ydych chi'n rhannu fy mhryder ynghylch y ffigurau hyn, a pha gamau y byddwch chi yn eu cymryd i leihau'r pwysau ar staff cyngor, sy'n effeithio'n ddifrifol ar eu hiechyd ac yn arwain at ganlyniadau i'r ddarpariaeth o wasanaethau cyhoeddus o ansawdd da yn y de-ddwyrain?

Thank you, First Minister. The number of local government staff across Wales who took stress-related leave last year is 18 per cent higher than the previous two years. Caerphilly council saw 807 staff take stress-related leave last year, while in Merthyr Tydfil, the number was up more than triple, from 105 to 318. First Minister, do you share my concern at these figures, and what action will you take to reduce the pressure on council staff, which is seriously affecting their health and having consequences for the delivery of quality public services in south-east Wales?
