Thank you very much. And, after that short preamble, we'll move on to discuss the Public Health (Minimum Price for Alcohol) (Wales) Bill, and the amendments in group 1.

Diolch yn fawr. Wedi'r rhagymadrodd yna, felly, fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen i drafod Bil Iechyd y Cyhoedd (Isafbris am Alcohol) (Cymru) a gwelliannau yng ngrŵp 1.
My discussions with counterparts often cover our respective devolution settlements. As the Welsh Government's constitutional policy, 'Reforming our Union: Shared Governance in the UK', notes, as a result of the Wales Act 2017, the reserved-powers model is now the preferred model for legislative devolution. But, importantly, unhelpful asymmetries remain.

Mae fy nhrafodaethau â chymheiriaid yn aml yn ymdrin â'n priod setliadau datganoli. Gan fod polisi cyfansoddiadol Llywodraeth Cymru, 'Diwygio ein Hundeb: cydlywodraethu yn y DU', yn nodi, o ganlyniad i Ddeddf Cymru 2017, mai'r model cadw pwerau bellach yw'r model a ffefrir ar gyfer datganoli deddfwriaethol. Ond, yn bwysig ddigon, mae anghymesuredd annefnyddiol yn parhau.

Diolch. Last year, we raised our ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, and, ahead of COP26 last year, we published Net Zero Wales, our emissions reduction plan, which we are now working on implementing, and our current climate change adaptation plan, 'A Climate Conscious Wales'.

Diolch. Y llynedd, gwnaethom gynyddu ein huchelgais i gyflawni allyriadau sero net erbyn 2050, a chyn COP26 y llynedd, gwnaethom gyhoeddi Cymru Sero Net, ein cynllun lleihau allyriadau yr ydym yn awr yn gweithio ar ei gyflawni, a'n cynllun presennol ar gyfer ymaddasu i newid hinsawdd, 'Cymru sy'n Effro i'r Hinsawdd'.
Diolch yn fawr, Rhys ab Owen. Mae'n rhaid imi ddweud bod yna lawer sy'n cael ei wneud, nid yn unig yn fy mhortffolio i, ond yn sicr ym mhortffolio Dawn Bowden hefyd yng nghyd-destun treftadaeth, diwylliant, celf a chwaraeon. Nid wyf yn gwybod a lwyddoch chi i ymweld ag arddangosfa Ailfframio Picton yn yr amgueddfa genedlaethol, a ddydd Sadwrn, agorais ddigwyddiad lansio Hanes Pobl Dduon 365. Roedd yn bwysig ei fod yn cael ei gynnal mewn amgueddfa, yn ogystal â'r arddangosfa Windrush a oedd yn cael ei chynnal. Mae angen inni anrhydeddu'r rhai sydd â threftadaeth ddu, Asiaidd, lleiafrifol ethnig a'u cyfraniad, a chydnabod y materion hyn yng ngoleuni camweinyddu cyfiawnder hefyd.

Diolch yn fawr, Rhys ab Owen. I have to say that there is much that's being done that is not just in my portfolio, but certainly in Dawn Bowden's portfolio as well in terms of heritage, culture, art and sport. I don't know whether you were able to visit the Reframing Picton exhibition that was at the national museum, and, on Saturday, I opened a launch event of Black History 365. It was important it was in a museum, but also the Windrush exhibition that was held. We do need to not only honour those with black, Asian, minority ethnic heritage and their contribution, but also recognise these issues in terms of mishandling of justice.
It's been done in Liverpool.

Mae wedi cael ei wneud yn Lerpwl.
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

I thank the First Minister for that response. Figures released from the Fawcett Society last week show that the full-time hourly gender pay gap in Wales is 7.1 per cent, which is actually lower than the UK average, but it is against a background of lower wages in Wales. On a UK-wide basis, the gender pay gap means that women are effectively working for free from 10 November, when you compare their wages with men's, until the end of the year. So, what further could we do to try to tackle this glaring inequality?

Diolchaf i'r Prif Weinidog am yr ymateb yna. Mae ffigurau a gyhoeddwyd gan Gymdeithas Fawcett yr wythnos diwethaf yn dangos bod y bwlch cyflog rhwng y rhywiau fesul awr llawn amser yng Nghymru yn 7.1 y cant, sy'n is na chyfartaledd y DU, ond yn erbyn cefndir o gyflogau is yng Nghymru. Ar sail y DU gyfan, mae'r bwlch cyflog rhwng y rhywiau yn golygu bod menywod yn gweithio am ddim i bob pwrpas o 10 Tachwedd, pan fyddwch chi'n cymharu eu cyflogau gyda rhai dynion, tan ddiwedd y flwyddyn. Felly, beth arall allem ni ei wneud i geisio mynd i'r afael â'r anghydraddoldeb hynod amlwg hwn?
Diolch yn fawr. Yn olaf mae'r cwestiynau sydd o dan ofal Andrew R.T. Davies. Andrew.

Thank you very much. The final section of questions comes from Andrew R.T. Davies. Andrew.
I don't need help, thank you. Can you wind up, please?

Nid oes angen help arnaf, diolch yn fawr. A wnewch chi ddirwyn i ben, os gwelwch yn dda?
Well, in terms of the ministerial meetings, yes, but there is work, as I was saying, on the analysis of what we have and so on.

Wel, o ran cyfarfodydd gweinidogol, ond mae gwaith, wrth gwrs, fel roeddwn i'n sôn, ynglŷn â dadansoddi'r hyn sydd gyda ni a'r gwaith yna.
Okay. Thank you. If I could turn now to the social care workforce, can you expand on your thinking behind the settlement in terms of providing the real living wage and the impact of that on the sector and the workforce, please?

Ocê. Diolch. Os caf i edrych ychydig ar y gweithlu gofal cymdeithasol, fedrwch chi ymhelaethu jest ychydig ar eich meddwl chi y tu ôl i'r setliad o ran rhoi cyflog byw go iawn ac effaith hwnnw ar y sector a'r gweithlu yna, os gwelwch yn dda?
Do the other witnesses agree with what happened, or do you have a different view?

A ydy'r tystion eraill yn cytuno â'r hyn a oedd wedi digwydd, neu a oes gyda chi barn wahanol?
Rwyf wir yn gobeithio -

Well, I genuinely hope that it will happen -
A dyna beth oedd eich cwestiwn chi. Ond dwi'n cymryd nad yr iaith Gymraeg rŷch chi'n cyfeirio ati yn y submission Saesneg. Mae yna air ar goll, oes?

And that's what your question was. But I take it that it's not the Welsh language you're referring to in the evidence - in the English submission. There is a word missing, is there?
You've known this for years.

Rydych chi'n gwybod am hyn ers blynyddoedd.

Can you think about winding up? Sorry. It's three minutes per Member.

A allwch chi feddwl am ddirwyn i ben? Mae'n ddrwg gennyf. Tri munud sydd yna i bob Aelod.

In favour 10, two abstentions and 39 against. Therefore, amendment 154 is not agreed.

O blaid 10, dau yn ymatal, 39 yn erbyn. Ac felly mae gwelliant 154 wedi ei wrthod.

Diolch, Gareth, not only for making us believe, but for proving that we can. Diolch, hefyd, not only for being Welsh, but for taking Cymru with you everywhere around the world. Diolch as well for saying that you had a bad back. Viva Gareth Bale.

Diolch, Gareth, nid yn unig am wneud inni gredu, ond am brofi y gallwn. Diolch, hefyd, nid yn unig am fod yn Gymro, ond am fynd â Chymru gyda thi i bobman o amgylch y byd. Diolch hefyd am ddweud bod gennyt gefn gwael. Viva Gareth Bale.

Good morning. I'll be speaking in Welsh. Just for me to understand at the outset - two schools - do you both teach the Welsh bac, and since when, just to get some background - maybe starting with Jane?

Bore da. Fe fyddaf i'n siarad yn Gymraeg. Jest imi ddeall reit ar y cychwyn - dwy ysgol - ydy'r ddwy ohonoch chi'n dysgu'r fagloriaeth, ac ers faint, jest i gael ychydig o'r cefndir - efallai'n dechrau efo Jane?
I meet regularly with police and crime commissioners and chief constables to discuss a range of important issues, including race equality. Our consultation on the race equality action plan closed on 15 July. Hate crime and justice is a key priority in the plan.

Rwy'n cyfarfod yn rheolaidd â chomisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu a phrif gwnstabliaid i drafod amrywiaeth o faterion pwysig, gan gynnwys cydraddoldeb hiliol. Daeth ein hymgynghoriad ar y cynllun gweithredu cydraddoldeb hiliol i ben ar 15 Gorffennaf. Mae troseddau casineb a chyfiawnder yn flaenoriaeth allweddol yn y cynllun.

Simon Thomas, please continue.

Simon Thomas, fe gewch chi barhau.
Ie, bydd y Gweinidog gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, sy'n cadeirio tasglu'r Cymoedd, yn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Senedd ar ôl y cylch presennol o gyfarfodydd, ac mae un arall ddydd Llun, er enghraifft. Mae nifer ohonom ni'n aelodau o dasglu'r Cymoedd, a bwriad pendant tasglu'r Cymoedd yw adrodd yn ôl yn rheolaidd i'r Senedd, gan roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf, fel y dywed yr Aelod.

Yes, the Minister for public services, who chairs the Valleys taskforce, will be giving an update to the Senedd after this current round of meetings, and there's another one on Monday, for example. A number of us are members of the Valleys taskforce, and it is absolutely the intention of the Valleys taskforce to report back regularly to the Senedd, giving the update, as the Member sets out.
A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn? Mae'n sicr yn sôn am ffenomen annifyr iawn. Bydd pob un ohonom yn adnabod rhywun sydd efallai wedi cysylltu â ni yn ein hetholaethau i godi pryderon nid yn unig am sgamiau o'r natur hon, ond sgamiau eraill, a dyna pam fod pob un ohonom yn Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd ati'n weithredol i gefnogi ymgyrchoedd ymwybyddiaeth o sgamiau. Rwyf i fod i gyfarfod â'r Post Brenhinol yn yr ychydig wythnosau nesaf, a byddaf yn sicrhau bod hynny ar yr agenda hefyd yn y cyfarfod hwnnw. Ac rwy'n fwy na pharod i adrodd yn ôl i'r Aelodau ar hynny. FootnoteLink

Can I thank the Member for his question? He certainly raises a very disturbing phenomenon. We will have all known people that have perhaps contacted us in our constituency capacity to raise concerns not just on scams of this nature, but other scams, which is why we all actively in the Welsh Government support scam awareness campaigns. I'm actually due to meet Royal Mail in the next couple of weeks, and I'll make sure that that is on the agenda as well at that meeting. And I'm happy to report back to Members after that.

Diolch yn fawr iawn. Ynglŷn â'r mater hwnnw ynghylch gwarchodfa natur Cynffig a phwysigrwydd rheoli tir sydd o bwys cenedlaethol, roedd rhai agweddau eithaf manwl ar eich cwestiwn, felly fe wnaf i ofyn i Weinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig ysgrifennu atoch chi i ymateb i'r pryderon penodol hynny. FootnoteLink Unwaith eto, o ran y mater ynghylch yr uned mân anafiadau yn Singleton, a'ch pryder yn fwy cyffredinol ynghylch darpariaeth gwasanaeth mân anafiadau, a'r arolwg a wnaed o feddygon teulu o ran ceisio cael eu cytundeb i ddod yn rhan o'r rota honno i ddarparu'r gwasanaeth, rwy'n gwybod y bydd gan y Gweinidog Iechyd ddiddordeb yn yr hyn yr ydych chi wedi'i amlinellu y prynhawn yma ac, rwy'n siŵr, bydd yn ymchwilio ymhellach i'r mater.

Thank you very much. On that issue of the Kenfig nature reserve and the importance of the management of nationally important land, there were some quite detailed aspects to your question there, so I'll ask the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs to write to you in response to those particular concerns. FootnoteLink Again, on the issue of the minor injuries unit at Singleton, and your concern more generally about minor injuries provision, and the survey that was done of GPs in terms of seeking their agreement to become part of that rota to provide the service, I know that the health Minister will be interested in what you've outlined this afternoon and, I'm sure, will look into it further.
Wel, mae disgwyliadau'n un peth, Weinidog, ond ym mis Ionawr eleni, dywedodd pennaeth Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Llangynwyd y byddai unrhyw leihad pellach yn y gyllideb yn golygu na fyddai'n bosibl cael athrawon arbenigol, yn enwedig drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Nawr, rydym i gyd yn ymwybodol o bryderon cyffredinol ysgolion ynghylch toriadau i gyllid craidd, ond beth yw ein hymateb i'r honiad penodol hwn ynghylch addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg a'i oblygiadau i strategaeth 2050?

Well, expectations are one thing, Minister, but, in January of this year, the headteacher at that very same Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Llangynwyd said that any further reduction in budget would mean being unable to get specialist teachers, especially through the medium of Welsh. Now we're all aware of schools' general concerns about cuts to core funding, but what is our response to this particular claim about Welsh medium and its implications for the 2050 strategy?
Croesawodd Llywodraeth Cymru yr adroddiad 'Budd-daliadau yng Nghymru: opsiynau i'w cyflawni'n well', a gyhoeddwyd gan y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb, Llywodraeth Leol a Chymunedau ym mis Hydref 2019. Yn dilyn argymhellion y pwyllgor, rydym ni'n gwella'r nifer sy'n manteisio ar fudd-daliadau lles a byddwn yn parhau i archwilio sut y byddai datganoli'r system fudd-daliadau ymhellach yn gwella canlyniadau i bobl yng Nghymru.

Welsh Government welcomed the report 'Benefits in Wales: options for better delivery', published by the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee in October 2019. Following the committee's recommendations, we are improving welfare benefit take-up and will continue to explore how further devolution of the benefit system would improve outcomes for people in Wales.
Thank you for that answer, Minister. Brexit has left the UK lacking when it comes to legislation to protect animal welfare, and action must be taken as a matter of urgency. RSPCA research has shown that approximately 73 per cent of its inspectors believe that animal cruelty is committed because people do not understand that animals are sentient, with feelings and emotions. With emergency lines receiving over 1 million calls annually, it's clear that greater understanding of animal welfare is needed right across the UK. Would the Minister be willing to work alongside the Minister for education to promote educational programmes aimed at improving people's understanding of animal sentience and how it is relevant to us in our everyday lives, particularly as the introduction of Wales's new curriculum provides an opportunity for teachers to inform students about empathy and compassion? Diolch.

Diolch am yr ateb hwnnw, Weinidog. Ar ôl Brexit, mae'r DU yn ddiffygiol o ran deddfwriaeth i ddiogelu lles anifeiliaid, ac mae'n rhaid cymryd camau brys. Mae ymchwil yr RSPCA wedi dangos bod tua 73 y cant o'i arolygwyr yn credu bod creulondeb tuag at anifeiliaid yn digwydd am nad yw pobl yn deall bod anifeiliaid yn ymdeimladol, gyda theimladau ac emosiynau. Gyda llinellau cymorth brys yn derbyn dros 1 filiwn o alwadau bob blwyddyn, mae'n amlwg fod angen gwell dealltwriaeth o les anifeiliaid ledled y DU. A fyddai'r Gweinidog yn fodlon gweithio ochr yn ochr â'r Gweinidog addysg i hyrwyddo rhaglenni addysgol i wella dealltwriaeth pobl o ymdeimladoldeb anifeiliaid a sut y mae'n berthnasol i ni yn ein bywydau bob dydd, yn enwedig gan fod cyflwyno cwricwlwm newydd i Gymru yn rhoi cyfle i athrawon roi gwybod i ddisgyblion ynglŷn ag empathi a thosturi? Diolch.

You need to come to your question, Mark Reckless. We don't need quotations read ad infinitum by you. You are afforded the privilege to ask the First Minister of Wales questions on his responsibility on public services and the economy in Wales. I would suggest that you take that responsibility seriously and discharge it as the leader of the Brexit Party.

Mae angen i chi ddod at eich cwestiwn, Mark Reckless. Nid oes angen dyfyniadau wedi'u darllen gennych chi byth a beunydd. Rydych chi'n cael y fraint o ofyn cwestiynau i Brif Weinidog Cymru ar ei gyfrifoldeb am wasanaethau cyhoeddus a'r economi yng Nghymru. Rwy'n awgrymu y dylech chi gymryd y cyfrifoldeb hwnnw o ddifrif a'i gyflawni fel arweinydd Plaid Brexit.
Yes. You mentioned in your statement that you want to show vision and leadership in Wales on gender issues, and of course we want to do that. I think that bringing a Bill forward to safeguard our rights as women would be an excellent way of showing that vision and leadership. Thank you.

Ydw. Rydych chi'n sôn yn eich datganiad eich bod chi eisiau dangos gweledigaeth ac arweinyddiaeth yng Nghymru ar faterion rhywedd, ac wrth gwrs rydym ni eisiau gwneud hynny. Rydw i'n meddwl y byddai dod â Bil ymlaen i ddiogelu ein hawliau ni fel merched yn ffordd dda iawn o ddangos y weledigaeth a'r arweinyddiaeth hynny. Diolch.
Llywydd, I thank Alun Davies for that. The advantages and the limitations of the UK Government support to workers affected by the impact of coronavirus were extensively rehearsed between all four nations of the UK at the last COBRA meeting. I have since, as Members have heard, exchanged correspondence with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on this matter.

Llywydd, diolchaf i Alun Davies am hynna. Cafodd manteision a chyfyngiadau cymorth Llywodraeth y DU i weithwyr a gafodd eu heffeithio gan effaith coronafeirws eu trafod yn helaeth rhwng pedair gwlad y DU yng nghyfarfod diwethaf COBRA. Ers hynny, fel y mae'r Aelodau wedi clywed, rwyf i wedi llythyru â Changhellor y Trysorlys ar y mater hwn.
Diolch yn fawr, Weinidog. Mae Cyngor Harrow wedi defnyddio data mawr i symleiddio gwasanaethau casglu sbwriel a thorri gwair, gan wneud £4 miliwn o arbedion drwy gyfrifo'r llwybrau gorau i gasglu'r biniau ac atal gorgyffwrdd. Mae Cyngor Camden wedi lleihau galwadau atgyweirio 14 y cant drwy ddefnyddio data mawr i binbwyntio ble y mae problemau'n codi. Wrth ystyried sut y caiff darpariaeth gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ei hailgynllunio, a wnewch chi sicrhau bod arloesi digidol yn gwreiddio fel y gallwn fod ar flaen y gad yn y chwyldro data mawr?

Thank you, Minister. Harrow Council have used big data to streamline rubbish collection and grass-cutting services, making £4 million of savings just through calculating the best routes to collect the bins and preventing overlap. Camden Council has reduced repair calls by 14 per cent by using big data to pinpoint where problems arise. When considering how the delivery of public services is redesigned, will you ensure that digital innovation is embedded so that we can be at the forefront of the big data revolution?

Diolch am godi'r mater hwn, ac am dynnu sylw hefyd at yr hyn a nodwyd gan y prif swyddog meddygol yn ei adroddiad, fod y niwed a achosir gan hapchwarae yn anghyfartal iawn o ran ei ddosbarthiad, a bod pobl sy'n economaidd anweithgar, er enghraifft, ac yn byw mewn ardaloedd difreintiedig yn llawer mwy tebygol o ddioddef niwed o ganlyniad i hapchwarae. Byddaf yn sicr o roi ystyriaeth bellach i'r awgrym a wnaethoch heddiw.

Thank you for raising this issue, and also for highlighting what the chief medical officer also highlighted in his report, that the harm caused by gambling is very much unequal in its distribution, and that people who are economically inactive, for example, and live in deprived areas are much more likely to suffer harm from gambling. I will certainly give further consideration to the suggestion that you've brought forward today.

Diolch i Darren Millar am godi'r ddau fater hynny y prynhawn yma. Wrth i chi siarad, roeddwn i'n edrych trwy fusnes y Senedd yn y dyfodol, ac nid wyf i'n gweld unrhyw gyfleoedd amlwg i fynd i'r afael â'r materion hynny. Felly byddaf i'n gwneud yn siŵr fy mod i'n gwneud y cais am y ddau ddatganiad hynny - y cyntaf am ddifrod sylweddol y llifogydd ac adroddiad Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru a ddilynodd hynny, a'r ail am feicio diogel - gyda'r Gweinidogion perthnasol ar eu cyfer i ystyried y ffordd orau o fynd i'r afael â'r pryderon hynny. FootnoteLink

Thank you to Darren Millar for raising both of those issues this afternoon. As you were speaking, I was just looking ahead through the future business of the Senedd, and I don't see any obvious opportunities for those to be addressed, so I will make sure that I draw the request for both of those statements - the first being on the significant flood damage and the NRW report that followed that, and the second on safe cycling - with the relevant Ministers for them to consider how best to address those concerns. FootnoteLink
Sut, yn eich barn chi, fydd y Llywodraeth yn cadarnhau bod yr aelodaeth o'r cyngor partneriaeth cymdeithasol yn cynrychioli Cymru gyfan? Felly, tu allan i'r bobl dŷch chi'n eu cynrychioli - yn meddwl am yr holl lun.

How, in your view, will the Welsh Government ensure that the membership of the social partnership council represents all of Wales? So, outwith the groups and people that you represent. Think about the whole of Wales.
Nid ydym yn defnyddio iaith o'r natur honno.

We don't use language of that nature, really.
Roeddwn i eisiau trafod blaendaliadau cadw ac eisiau eich barn chi, i ddechrau, ynglŷn ag a oes angen talu blaendaliadau cadw fel mater o drefn wrth geisio rhentu eiddo.

I wanted to discuss holding deposits, and I wanted your view, first of all, on whether you need to pay a holding deposit as a matter of course when you are renting a property.

Diolch. Jason Thomas, rydych chi eisiau ychwanegu pwynt.

Thank you. Jason Thomas, I think you wanted to add a point.
Thank you. Chair, I'm finished.

Diolch yn fawr. Cadeirydd, dwi wedi gorffen.
Nid yw'r Gweinidog diwylliant yma i ateb y cwestiwn y disgwylid iddo gael ei ofyn ar y pwynt hwn, felly fe wnaf eu hail-drefnu dros dro a gofyn i Rhun ap Iorwerth ofyn ei gwestiwn i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet.

The Minister for culture is not here to answer the question that was expected to be asked at this point, so I will reorder them temporarily and ask Rhun ap Iorwerth to ask his question to the Cabinet Secretary.

Diolch, Ddirprwy Weinidog. Yn ddiweddar, cynhaliodd Cymdeithas y Cyfrifwyr Ardystiedig Siartredig arolwg o fentrau bach a chanolig yng Nghymru ar eu cynlluniau i wneud eu hunain yn fwy cynaliadwy yn amgylcheddol. Dywedodd perchnogion busnesau bach mai'r prif beth sy'n rhwystro busnesau rhag gwneud eu gweithrediadau'n fwy cynaliadwy oedd diffyg amser ac adnoddau i weithredu strategaethau amgylcheddol. Tynnodd penaethiaid cwmnïau sylw hefyd at eu diffyg arbenigedd eu hunain ar ble i ddechrau gyda chynlluniau cynaliadwyedd, tra'n adrodd am heriau wrth gael y gefnogaeth ariannol gywir o ffynonellau traddodiadol. Ddirprwy Weinidog, yng ngoleuni'r canfyddiadau hyn, a wnewch chi ymrwymo i drafod, gyda Gweinidog yr Economi, ffyrdd o ddarparu'r arweiniad ymarferol a'r cyllid y mae busnesau bach a chanolig yng Nghymru eu hangen i fynd i'r afael â'r mater pwysig hwn? Diolch.

Thank you, Deputy Minister. The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants recently surveyed small and medium enterprises in Wales on their plans to make themselves more environmentally sustainable. Small business owners said that the No. 1 issue holding businesses back from making their operations more sustainable was the lack of time and resources to implement environmental strategies. Company bosses also highlighted their own lack of expertise on where to start with sustainability plans, whilst reporting challenges in obtaining the right financial backing from traditional outlets. Deputy Minister, in light of these findings, will you undertake to discuss, with the Minister for Economy, ways to give SMEs in Wales the practical guidance and funding that they need to address this important issue? Thank you.
Diolch yn fawr, Prif Weinidog. Mae'r gostyngiad dramatig yn nifer y bobl â symptomau canser sy'n ceisio triniaeth wedi bod yn ganlyniad trasig y mesurau i reoli lledaeniad COVID. Mae'r astudiaeth a gynhaliwyd gan Cancer Research UK wedi darganfod nad oedd bron hanner y bobl â symptomau canser posibl wedi cysylltu â'u meddyg teulu yn ystod ton gyntaf y pandemig. Ar wahân i atgyfnerthu'r neges bod y GIG yn agored i fusnes, beth arall y gall eich Llywodraeth chi ei wneud i sicrhau ein bod yn lleihau'r ôl-groniad mewn diagnosteg ac yn gwella'r cyfle o oroesi i'r rhai sydd nawr yn ceisio triniaeth? Diolch.

Thank you, First Minister. The tragic consequence of the measures to control the spread of COVID-19 has been the dramatic fall in the numbers of people with symptoms of cancer seeking treatment. The study conducted by Cancer Research UK found that almost half of people with potential cancer symptoms did not contact their GP during the first wave of the pandemic. Apart from reinforcing the message that the NHS is open for business, what more can your Government do to ensure that we reduce the backlog in diagnostics and improve the chances of survival for those now seeking treatment? Diolch.
