First Minister, do you agree with me that we often see very many claims that are disputed afterwards by highly paid consultants about the transference of providing a service. I am talking particularly here about the Unison report against the transfer of the leisure facilities services in Pembrokeshire, which is, in their words, not in the best interests of the people who would want to access those services. Neither would it be, necessarily, in the best interests of those people who currently work within those services. Could I ask you, First Minister, to seek some assurances from Pembrokeshire County Council, when they are trying to negotiate their way through transferring what, in my opinion, shouldn't be transferred in the first place?

Brif Weinidog, a ydych chi'n cytuno â mi ein bod ni'n aml yn gweld llawer iawn o hawliadau y mae ymgynghorwyr ar gyflogau uchel yn anghytuno â nhw wedyn o ran trosglwyddo'r ddarpariaeth o wasanaeth. Rwy'n sôn yn benodol yma am adroddiad Unsain yn erbyn trosglwyddo'r gwasanaethau cyfleusterau hamdden yn Sir Benfro, nad yw, yn eu geiriau nhw, er budd pennaf y bobl a fyddai eisiau cael mynediad at y gwasanaethau hynny. Ni fyddai chwaith, o reidrwydd, er budd pennaf y bobl hynny sy'n gweithio yn y gwasanaethau hynny ar hyn o bryd. A gaf i ofyn i chi, Brif Weinidog, i geisio rhywfaint o sicrwydd gan Gyngor Sir Penfro, pan eu bod yn ceisio trafod eu ffordd drwy drosglwyddo'r hyn, yn fy marn i, na ddylai gael ei drosglwyddo yn y lle cyntaf?
Diolch, Weinidog. Dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, mae hi wedi bod yn anrhydedd cyfarfod â chynifer o fentrau cymdeithasol ledled y rhanbarth a gweld y gwaith gwych maen nhw'n ei wneud o ran adfywio ein cymunedau, cefnogi pobl o bob oed a datblygu'r economi leol. Gaf i ofyn pa drafodaethau mae'r Gweinidog wedi'u cael gyda Gweinidogion eraill i sicrhau bod mentrau cymdeithasol a'r economi gymdeithasol yn bethau sy'n cael eu hyrwyddo ar draws portffolios Llywodraeth, megis drwy'r cwricwlwm newydd?

Thank you, Minister. Over the past year, it's been an honour to meet with many social enterprises across the region and to see the excellent work that they do in regenerating our communities and supporting people of all ages and developing the local economy. Can I ask you what discussions you have had with other Ministers to ensure that social enterprises and the social economy are things that are promoted across Government portfolios, such as through the new curriculum?
Very quickly, yes, it is about saving lives. It is about giving confidence to staff. But on an entirely practical level, vaccination is about schools' ability to stay open and to ensure that there are sufficient numbers of the workforce sufficiently healthy to be able to keep the schools open in the long term.

Yn gyflym, iawn, iawn, ydy, mae e ynglŷn ag arbed bywydau. Mae e ynglŷn â rhoi hyder i staff. Ond ar lefel hollol ymarferol, mae brechu ynglŷn â gallu ysgolion i aros ar agor a gwneud yn siŵr fod yna niferoedd digonol o'r gweithlu yn ddigon iach i allu cadw'r ysgolion ar agor dros y tymor hir.

Excellent. Sometimes people do have to leave, so I just wanted to ask. So, resources questions.

Gwych. Weithiau mae pobl yn gorfod mynd, felly roeddwn i jest eisiau gofyn. So, cwestiynau ar adnoddau.

Llywydd, I very much welcome the initiative that's been mounted in Flintshire. We know that inequality does not fall equally on all parts of society, and people with disabilities have long reported excessive impacts in terms of employment, their ability to access services and so on, and the work that's being carried out in Flintshire has that very specific focus on those people who have the most to gain from effective public service intervention.

Llywydd, rwy'n croesawu'n fawr y fenter sydd wedi'i sefydlu yn sir y Fflint. Rydym yn gwybod nad yw anghydraddoldeb yn effeithio'n gyfartal ar bob rhan o'r gymdeithas, ac mae pobl ag anableddau wedi adrodd ers tro byd am effeithiau gormodol o ran cyflogaeth, eu gallu i gael mynediad at wasanaethau ac ati, ac mae'r gwaith sy'n cael ei wneud yn sir y Fflint yn rhoi'r pwyslais penodol iawn hwnnw ar y bobl hynny a fydd yn cael y budd mwyaf o ymyrraeth gwasanaethau cyhoeddus effeithiol.
Brif Weinidog, mae'r cwmni rheoli gwastraff mwyaf yng Nghymru sy'n eiddo preifat, Grŵp Potter, sydd wedi'i leoli yn fy etholaeth i, wedi ei wahardd rhag cynnig am gontract rheoli gwastraff yng Nghyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr gan nad yw'n bodloni'r gofynion o fod â throsiant blynyddol o fwy na £50 miliwn. A ydych chi'n cytuno â mi ei bod yn anghymesur gwneud trosiant blynyddol mor fawr yn ofynnol, sy'n arwain at wahardd hyd yn oed y cwmni rheoli gwastraff mwyaf yng Nghymru rhag gwneud cais am y mathau hyn o gontractau, ac a wnewch chi ymrwymo i adolygu canllawiau Llywodraeth Cymru i sicrhau bod awdurdodau lleol - yn hyn o beth o ran contractau caffael?

First Minister, the largest privately owned waste management company in Wales, the Potter Group, which is based in my constituency, has been excluded from bidding for a waste management contract in Bridgend County Borough Council because it doesn't meet the requirements of having an annual turnover of more than £50 million. Would you agree with me that it's disproportionate to require such a large annual turnover, which results in the exclusion of even the largest waste management company in Wales from bidding for these types of contracts, and would you commit to reviewing Welsh Government guidance to ensure local authorities are - in this regard to procurement contracts?
Rydym ni'n barod, wrth gwrs, i roi cyngor, fel y bydd yr awdurdod addysg lleol. Ond rwy'n ffyddiog, gyda'r arweinyddiaeth sydd ar waith yn yr ysgol nawr, y byddant yn gallu ymateb i'r heriau a osodwyd arnynt ac, wrth gwrs, parhau â'r cynnydd da sydd wedi ei wneud.

We do stand ready, of course, to provide advice, as will the local education authority. But I'm confident that, with the leadership that is in place in the school now, they will be able to meet the challenges that they have been set and, of course, to continue with the good progress that's been made.
Diolch i arweinydd y tŷ am ei hateb cynhwysfawr. Ar gyfer y flwyddyn 2016-17, darparwyd cymorth i dros 10,000 o oroeswyr sy'n oedolion a bron i 4,000 o blant a phobl ifanc gan y gwasanaethau cam-drin domestig yng Nghymru, sy'n cynnwys lloches ac eiriolaeth gymunedol. Dengys ffigurau fod y llinell gymorth cam-drin domestig genedlaethol wedi derbyn dros 28,000 o alwadau. Felly, mae'n hynod o frawychus clywed nad oedd modd rhoi lloches i o leiaf 500 o fenywod yng Nghymru gan nad oedd lle ar gael. O gofio mai'r llochesi hyn yw un o'r elfennau pwysicaf wrth gefnogi dioddefwyr cam-drin domestig, pam y gwnaed toriadau rhwng 2016 a heddiw i wasanaethau lloches sy'n golygu nad oes unrhyw lochesi newydd yn cael eu darparu, ac efallai y bydd yn rhaid i rai sy'n bodoli eisoes gau, hyd yn oed? A yw Arweinydd y tŷ yn credu bod hon yn sefyllfa dderbyniol?

I thank the leader of the house for that comprehensive answer. For the year 2016-17, over 10,000 adult survivors and nearly 4,000 children and young people were provided with support by domestic abuse services in Wales, which include refuge and community-based advocacy. Figures show the national domestic abuse helpline received over 28,000 calls. It is therefore extremely disturbing to hear that at least 500 women in Wales could not be accommodated by refuges because there was no space available. As these refuges afford one of the most important elements in helping domestic abuse victims, why is it that from 2016 to date there have been cuts to refuge services that mean no new refuges are being provided and existing ones may even have to close? Does the leader of the house believe this is an acceptable situation?

Efo'r cwricwlwm, a chydweithio. Dwi ddim yn dweud ei fod yn berffaith, ond mae o'n datblygu.

Yes, and in terms of collaboration. I'm not saying that it's perfect, but it is developing.
Before moving on to the other witnesses, I just wanted to pick up on the expertise on the non-executive board. We had Professor Iain Docherty in last week and he said that you don't necessarily have to have somebody in the transport field and that it's perhaps better to have somebody in terms of sociology and health, and not just transport alone. Can you see an argument for that?

Cyn symud ymlaen at y tystion eraill, roeddwn i jest eisiau pigo lan ar y pwynt am yr arbenigedd ar y bwrdd anweithredol. Roedd gyda ni Professor Iain Docherty mewn yr wythnos diwethaf a roedd e'n dweud bod dim angen cael rhywun o drafnidiaeth o reidrwydd oherwydd efallai ei fod yn dda i gael pobl iechyd ac o ran chymdeithaseg, yn hytrach nag eu bod nhw trafnidiaeth yn unig. Fyddech chi'n gweld y ddadl dros hynny?
Fel rhan o'n strategaeth 'Pwysau Iach: Cymru Iach' a'n strategaeth rheoli tybaco, rydym yn cydfuddsoddi, gyda byrddau iechyd lleol, mewn nifer o raglenni ac ymyriadau sy'n cefnogi canlyniadau iechyd y boblogaeth.

As part of our 'Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales' and tobacco control strategies, we are co-investing, with local health boards, into a number of programmes and interventions that support population health outcomes.
Greater Manchester. I stood for 40 minutes yesterday on the underground in London with millions of other people and there are no toilet facilities there either. There, they have toilet facilities available to you at stations and that is what we will be doing with the tram trains. But if we can find a better solution, if we can find a supplier able to do what we would like to do, then that is what Transport for Wales has been asked to pursue.

Manceinion Fwyaf. Sefais am 40 munud ddoe ar drên tanddaearol yn Llundain gyda miliynau o bobl eraill a does dim cyfleusterau toiled yno ychwaith. Yno, mae ganddyn nhw gyfleusterau toiled ar gael i chi mewn gorsafoedd a dyna'r hyn y byddwn ni'n ei wneud gyda'r trenau tram. Ond os gallwn ni ddod o hyd i ateb gwell, os gallwn ni ddod o hyd i gyflenwr sy'n gallu gwneud yr hyn yr hoffem ni ei wneud, yna dyna y gofynnwyd i Trafnidiaeth Cymru fynd ar ei drywydd.

That is correct, but it depends on what the service is. If the service is subject to something under the contract, then it would be a matter for the health board directly. But, as I say, it is possible for us to have an overview through other means as well.

Mae'n hynny'n gywir, ond mae'n dibynnu beth ydy'r gwasanaeth. Os ydy'r gwasanaeth yn ddarostyngedig i rywbeth o dan y contract, yna mater i'r bwrdd iechyd fyddai hynny'n uniongyrchol. Ond, fel dwi'n dweud, mae'n bosib inni gael trosolwg drwy ddulliau eraill hefyd.

The next item is the debate on the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee's report on loneliness and isolation. I call on Dai Lloyd to move the motion. Dai.

Yr eitem nesaf yw'r ddadl ar adroddiad y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon ar unigrwydd ac unigedd. Galwaf ar Dai Lloyd i wneud y cynnig. Dai.
Galwaf ar Andrew R.T. Davies i gynnig gwelliannau 2 a 3, a gyflwynwyd yn enw Paul Davies.

I call on Andrew R.T. Davies to move amendments 2 and 3, tabled in the name of Paul Davies.

A wnewch chi benodi bwrdd dros dro i symud pethau ymlaen ac a wnewch chi dderbyn pryderon yn ehangach, gan, efallai, sefydliadau sydd eisoes yn rhyngweithio â'r corff? Ac mae'n debyg mai fy mhrif gwestiwn yw: sut ydym ni wedi cyrraedd y pwynt hwn pryd yr ataliwyd y bwrdd yr wythnos diwethaf? Oni ddylai'r pethau hyn fod wedi eu datrys cyn cyrraedd y pwynt hwn?

Will you appoint an interim board to take things forward and will you accept concerns from wider afield, from, maybe, organisations interacting with the body already? And I suppose my main question is: how can we arrive at this point where the organisation's board was suspended last week? Shouldn't these things have been resolved before coming to this point?

Felly, symudwn ni ymlaen i eitem 3 ar ein hagenda, sef craffu ar waith Gweinidogion. Gaf i estyn croeso cynnes i'r Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a'r Trefnydd a'i swyddogion i'r sesiwn graffu cyffredinol yma? Gaf i ofyn i'r Gweinidog a'i thîm i gyflwyno eu hunain i'r record, ac wedyn gallwn ni symud yn syth at gwestiynau? Gweinidog.

So, we will move on to item 3 on our agenda, which is ministerial scrutiny. Can I welcome the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd and her officials to this general scrutiny session? Can I ask the Minister and her team to introduce themselves for the record, please, and then we can proceed straight to questions? Minister.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Brif Weinidog. Un o'r ymrwymiadau a roesoch yn ystod cyfnod yr etholiad oedd y byddech, o fewn 100 diwrnod, yn ymgynghori ar y cwestiwn o ba un a ddylai Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr gael ei rannu'n ddau neu fwy o sefydliadau iechyd. A ydych chi wedi rhoi'r gorau i'r ymrwymiad hwnnw neu a ydym ni'n mynd i weld cynnig yn cael ei gyflwyno gan eich Llywodraeth newydd?

Thank you very much indeed, First Minister. One of the commitments that you gave during the election period was that within 100 days you would consult on whether the Betsi Cadwaladr university health board ought to be divided into two or more health organisations. Have you abandoned that commitment or are we going to see a proposal come forward from your new Government?
Ac y gallant - eu bod bellach wedi ysgrifennu at bob claf, oherwydd deallaf nad oedd hynny wedi digwydd yn flaenorol, ac mae'r bwrdd iechyd yn rhyddhau ymddiheuriad ynglŷn â hynny. Wrth gwrs, gall cleifion gysylltu â gwasanaeth rheoli poen Powys ei hun os ydynt yn parhau i fod yn bryderus, neu gysylltu â chynrychiolwyr lleol wrth gwrs. Mae rhai clinigau poen eisoes ar gael yng ngogledd Powys ac mae'r bwrdd iechyd yn bwriadu cyflwyno rhagor o wasanaethau. Byddaf yn cyhoeddi datganiad ysgrifenedig yn y dyfodol hefyd i gadarnhau canllawiau newydd ar gyfer gwasanaethau rheoli poen yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol agos iawn. FootnoteLink

And that they can - that they have now written to every patient, because I understand that had not taken place previously, and the health board issue an apology because of that. Of course, patients can contact the Powys pain management service itself if they do remain concerned, or of course contact local representatives. Some pain clinics are already offered in north Powys and the health board plans to introduce further services. I'll also be issuing a future written statement to confirm new guidance for pain management services in Wales in the very near future. FootnoteLink

Rwy'n gobeithio bod y Gweinidog wedi gallu gwirio'r ffeithiau -

I do hope that the Minister has actually been able to check the facts -

Maen nhw y tu ôl i chi, Gweinidog. [ Chwerthin. ]

They're behind you, Minister. [ Laughter. ]
We take the welfare of apprentices seriously and we do recognise that travel costs can be a barrier for young apprentices, though this is an employed programme. We will be looking at what opportunities are available to remove any access barriers to the programme, and that will include travel costs.

Rydym ni'n cymryd lles prentisiaid o ddifrif ac rydym ni'n cydnabod y gall costau teithio fod yn rhwystr i brentisiaid ifanc, er mai rhaglen â chyflog yw hon. Byddwn yn edrych ar ba gyfleoedd sydd ar gael i gael gwared ar unrhyw rwystrau i atal mynediad i'r rhaglen, a byddwn yn cynnwys costau teithio.
To date, not including the recently announced support, the Welsh Government has provided the tourism and hospitality industry with nearly £56 million in support through the economic resilience fund, and emergency funding will, of course, now be available until the end of August. The sector will continue to benefit from our 100 per cent rate relief scheme for the entire financial year, unlike their colleague businesses in England.

Hyd yn hyn, heb gynnwys y cymorth a gyhoeddwyd yn ddiweddar, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi darparu bron i £56 miliwn i'r diwydiant twristiaeth a lletygarwch drwy'r gronfa cadernid economaidd, a bydd cyllid brys, wrth gwrs, ar gael yn awr tan ddiwedd mis Awst. Bydd y sector yn parhau i elwa o'n cynllun rhyddhad ardrethi 100 y cant ar gyfer y flwyddyn ariannol gyfan, yn wahanol i fusnesau cyfatebol yn Lloegr.
Wrth gwrs, Prif Weinidog, mae'r cyflog byw gwirioneddol yn gwneud gwir wahaniaeth i fywydau pobl, gan fod o fudd i enillwyr cyflog, eu haelwydydd, cymunedau ac economïau lleol. A gwn, cyn Wythnos Cyflog Byw, eich bod chi wedi cefnogi digwyddiadau yn ystod dechrau mis Tachwedd yn frwd erioed. Pa gamau eraill y gellir eu cymryd i hyrwyddo'r cyflog byw gwirioneddol ar draws, yn benodol, y sector cyhoeddus, y gwasanaeth iechyd a llywodraeth leol, ond hefyd mewn addysg bellach ac uwch?

Of course, First Minister, the real living wage makes a real difference to people's lives, benefiting wage earners, their households, communities and local economies. And I know, ahead of Living Wage Week, you've always actively supported events during early November. What further action can be taken to promote the real living wage across, particularly, the public sector, the health service and local government, but also in further and higher education?
Go on, John. [ Laughter.]

Ewch ymlaen, John. [ Chwerthin.]
Thank you very much. I just want to agree strongly with your comments and apply them particularly to the pressure facing CAMHS. The number of referrals to CAMHS has increased dramatically, but often CAMHS are unable to give the support that families need, and the resilience and tools they need. This is where the third sector in particular could come in with extra support for families.

Diolch yn fawr iawn. Rwyf eisiau cytuno'n gryf â'ch sylwadau a'u cymhwyso yn benodol i'r pwysau sy'n wynebu CAMHS. Mae nifer yr atgyfeiriadau i CAMHS wedi cynyddu'n ddramatig, ond yn aml nid yw CAMHS yn gallu rhoi'r cymorth sydd ei angen ar deuluoedd, a'r gwytnwch a'r offer sydd eu hangen arnynt. Dyma lle y gallai'r trydydd sector yn arbennig gynnig cymorth ychwanegol i deuluoedd.
Iawn. A ydy e'n gweithio nawr?

Yes, of course. Is it working now?
Thank you for that, Minister. Just a few brief questions now seeking specific examples. I've heard what you've said on single-use plastics, for example, so building on that example, can you give us an example of a regulation in relation to the sale of goods whose operation would be affected by the Bill's provisions, if they were introduced after the Bill is passed? So, a regulation on the sale of goods - that's an example on goods, first of all.

Diolch yn fawr am hynna, Weinidog. Jest i symud ymlaen, cwpwl o gwestiynau byr rŵan ynglŷn ag enghreifftiau penodol. Dwi'n clywed beth rydych chi wedi ei ddweud ynglŷn â'r defnydd o blastigau defnydd un tro, er enghraifft, felly yn adeiladu ar esiamplau yn fanna, a allwch chi roi enghraifft o reoliad sy'n ymwneud â gwerthu nwyddau y byddai'r darpariaethau yn y Bil yn effeithio arno fo pe bai'n cael ei gyflwyno ar ôl pasio'r Bil? Felly, rheoliad ynglŷn â gwerthu nwyddau - esiampl sy'n cael ei effeithio yn y lle cyntaf.
Diolch. Rwy'n cytuno; bûm yn ffodus iawn i ymweld â llawer o lochesau anifeiliaid a chanolfannau achub, ac mae'n drueni bod eu hangen, ond mae eu hangen, ac fel y dywedwch, mae lefel y gofal y maent yn ei roi yn rhagorol. Fe fyddwch yn gwybod am y rhaglen tair blynedd a oedd gennym i gefnogi ein hawdurdodau lleol mewn perthynas â gorfodi. Rhoesom arian sylweddol tuag at ymgyrch lle y gellid hyfforddi mwy o bobl i orfodi ein rheoliadau lles anifeiliaid, ac rydym bellach yn nhrydedd flwyddyn y rhaglen honno.

Thank you. I agree; I've been very fortunate to visit many animal sanctuaries and rescue centres, and it is a shame that they're needed, but they are, and, as you say, the level of care that they give is outstanding. You'll be aware of the three-year programme we had to support our local authorities around enforcement. We put some substantial funding into a campaign whereby more people could be trained to enforce our animal welfare regulations, and we're now in the third year of that programme.

Ar y pwynt hwnnw, rwy'n gweld y cyhoeddiad calonogol yr wythnos hon ynglŷn â chyfleuster treialu ar gyfer rheilffyrdd, hefyd yn ne Cymru, yn eithaf agos fel y mae'n digwydd i Faglan a ffynonellau hydrogen. A fyddai honno'n ardal bosibl lle y gellid ymchwilio i hyn?

Just on that point, I see the welcome announcement this week of a test facility for rail, also in south Wales, quite close, as it happens, to Baglan and to sources of hydrogen. Would that be a potential area where this could be explored?

Mae dau newid i fusnes yr wythnos hon. Bydd y Prif Weinidog yn gwneud datganiad cyn bo hir ar yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf o ran y trefniadau pontio Ewropeaidd, a'r datganiad ar brentisiaethau: mae buddsoddi mewn sgiliau ar gyfer y dyfodol wedi ei ohirio. Mae busnes drafft ar gyfer tair wythnos gyntaf y tymor newydd wedi ei nodi yn y datganiad a'r cyhoeddiad busnes y gellir eu gweld ymysg papurau'r cyfarfod sydd ar gael i'r Aelodau yn electronig.

There are two changes to this week's business. The First Minister will make a statement shortly on an update to the EU transition, and the statement on apprenticeships: investing in skills for the future has been postponed. Draft business for the first three weeks of the new term is set out in the business statement and announcement, which can be found amongst the meeting papers available to Members electronically.
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

Sorry, I just wanted to make clear, in my contribution Alun Davies seemed to suggest that the devolution of broadcasting would be a vehicle to reverse the privatisation of Channel 4 and keep Channel 4 in public ownership in Wales. I just wanted to clarify whether that was your position as well.

Mae'n ddrwg gen i, roeddwn i eisiau ei gwneud yn glir, yn fy nghyfraniad roedd Alun Davies fel pe bai'n awgrymu y byddai datganoli darlledu yn gyfrwng i wrthdroi preifateiddio Channel 4 a chadw Channel 4 mewn perchnogaeth gyhoeddus yng Nghymru. Roeddwn i eisiau eglurhad ai dyna yw eich safbwynt chi hefyd.
Nodir ein safbwynt fel Llywodraeth yn 'Diogelu Dyfodol Cymru'. Nodir y math o gytundeb yr hoffem ei weld ar gyfer perthynas ôl-Brexit yn y ddogfen honno. Os nad yw'r math hwnnw o gytundeb yn bosibl, ac na ellir cytuno arno, yna -

Our position as a Government is set out in 'Securing Wales' Future'. The kind of deal for a post-Brexit relationship we would like to see is set out in that. If that sort of deal is not available and can't be agreed, then -

Felly rydych chi - a byddwn i'n cytuno hefyd - yn meddwl bod y ffocws ar addysgeg yn bositif, mae'r diwylliant sy'n ymddangos nawr i fod yn rhoi mwy o bwyslais ar hunanwella ac yn y blaen yn bositif. A oes yna agweddau sydd ddim wedi gweithio cystal yn eich barn chi?

So, you think - and I'd agree - that the focus on pedagogy is correct and that this culture that appears to be putting more emphasis on self-improvement, and so on, is a positive one. Are there aspects that haven't worked as well in your opinion?
