Diolch i chi am yr ateb yna, Gweinidog. Yn ddiweddar, ymwelais ag Optegwyr Gwynn yn Aberdâr i ddysgu mwy am ragnodwyr annibynnol a'r cytundeb optometreg newydd. Roeddwn wedi rhyfeddu o glywed am y 70 o ragnodwyr annibynnol a'r gwaith y maen nhw'n gallu ei wneud eisoes o ran trin a rhoi diagnosis o gyflyrau fel glawcoma a dirywiad maciwlaidd, diolch i raglen hyfforddi a ariannir yn llawn gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Rydyn ni'n gwybod bod diwygio'r GIG i leddfu pwysau ar ein hysbytai ni drwy hwyluso darparu gwasanaethau ychwanegol o fewn cymunedau lleol yn flaenoriaeth allweddol i Lywodraeth Cymru, felly a wnewch chi roi diweddariad i ni ar y paratoadau cyn lansiad swyddogol y contract yn yr haf eleni?

Thank you for that answer, Minister. I recently visited Gwynn's Opticians in Aberdare to find out more about independent prescribers and the new optometry contract. I was really impressed to hear about the 70 or so independent prescribers and the work that they can already do in terms of treating and diagnosing conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration, thanks to a fully funded training programme from the Welsh Government. We know that reform of the NHS to relieve pressure on our hospitals by facilitating the delivery of additional services within local communities is a key priority for the Welsh Government, so can you give us an update on preparations ahead of the official launch of the contract this summer?
Diolch. Byrddau iechyd lleol sy'n gyfrifol am ddarparu digon o welyau mewn ysbytai i ddiwallu anghenion eu poblogaethau lleol drwy gydol y flwyddyn. Fel y Gweinidog iechyd, cyhoeddais £30 miliwn o fuddsoddiadau ychwanegol i ymdrin â phwysau'r gaeaf ddechrau mis Hydref. Mae hyn yn gynharach nag erioed o'r blaen er mwyn helpu i atal pobl rhag cael eu derbyn i'r ysbyty yn ddiangen ac i wella capasiti a chydnerthedd ar draws ein system.

Thank you. Local health boards are responsible for delivering sufficient hospital bed capacity to meet the needs of their local populations throughout the year. As the health Minister, I announced £30 million of additional investment to deal with winter pressures at the start of October. This is earlier than ever before to help prevent unnecessary admissions of people into hospital and to enhance capacity and resilience right across our system.
The next item is the Welsh Conservatives debate, and I call on Russell George to move the motion.

Yr eitem nesaf yw dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, ac rwy'n galw ar Russell George i wneud y cynnig.
Bu gwelliannau i berfformiad, ond mae cryn dipyn i'w wneud o hyd, ac mae arweinydd UKIP yn iawn i nodi'r gwendidau y mae angen rhoi sylw iddynt o hyd, a dyna pam y bydd Betsi Cadwaladr yn parhau dan fesurau arbennig hyd nes y gallwn fod yn sicr fel Llywodraeth, ac yn wir y gall y Cynulliad fod yn sicr, ei fod yn gallu sefyll ar ei draed ei hun unwaith eto.

There have been performance improvements, but there is some way to go, and the leader of UKIP is correct in identifying the weaknesses that still need to be addressed, which is why Betsi Cadwaladr will remain in special measures until such a time as we can be assured as a Government, and indeed that the Assembly can be assured, that it's able to stand on its own two feet again.
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

Cabinet Secretary, timber obviously is a major element here, and we've seen in my area the harvesting of timber change because of the diseases within the valley area. Therefore, the replanting is important, to look at, as Simon Thomas says, not just the nature of the land, but also perhaps the opportunity for other businesses beyond manufacturing, such as tourism areas. What progress has been made in replanting in the Afan valley to ensure that we can get that back to where it was?

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae'n amlwg fod pren yn elfen bwysig yma, ac rydym wedi gweld cynaeafu pren yn newid yn fy ardal yn sgil y clefydau yn ardal y cwm. Felly, mae ailblannu'n bwysig, er mwyn edrych, fel y dywed Simon Thomas, nid yn unig ar natur y tir, ond hefyd efallai ar y cyfleoedd i fusnesau eraill y tu hwnt i'r diwydiant gweithgynhyrchu, megis ardaloedd twristiaeth. Pa gynnydd a wnaed ar ailblannu yng Nghwm Afan er mwyn sicrhau y gallwn gael hynny'n ôl i'r hyn yr arferai fod?
Mae'r Aelod yn codi pwynt pwysig. Mae'n ymwneud ag ymwybyddiaeth y cyhoedd. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn ystyried y ffordd orau o fwrw ymlaen â hynny, wrth gwrs gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru yn allweddol i arwain a darparu tystiolaeth.

The Member does raise an important point. It is about public awareness. I'm sure that the Cabinet Secretary will consider the best way in which to take that forward, of course with Public Health Wales being the key guide and evidence provider.
Mark, rwyf i'n un o'r bobl hynny; rwyf i'n un ohonyn nhw. Ymwelydd ydych chi.

Mark, I'm one of those people; I'm one of them. You're a visitor.

Ac i'm cyd-Aelodau, rydym ni'n symud ymlaen i eitem 4 rŵan a'r papur i'w nodi. Mi fyddwch chi wedi darllen y llythyr gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ynghylch canolfan ganser Felindre arfaethedig, yr un newydd. Hapus i nodi'r papur yna? Dwi'n gweld bod pawb yn.

And to my fellow Members, we've moved on to item 4 and a paper to note. You will have read the letter from the Minister for Health and Social Services regarding the proposed new Velindre cancer centre. Are you happy to note that paper? I see that everyone is content.
Symud ymlaen i eitem 2, mae yna bapurau i'w nodi yn fanna. Mi fyddwch wedi darllen llythyrau gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ynghylch, yn gyntaf, y defnydd o feddyginiaeth wrthseicotig mewn cartrefi gofal yng Nghymru. Rhywbeth i'w nodi fanna, Helen?

Moving on to item 2, we do have papers to note. You will have read the letter by the Minister for Health and Social Services on the use of antipsychotic medication in care homes in Wales. Is there anything to note there, Helen?
Minister, I think I heard a question there, so - [ Interruption.]

Gweinidog, rwy'n credu imi glywed cwestiwn yn y fan yna, felly - [ torri ar draws.]
Bore dydd Iau diwethaf, rhoddodd arweinyddion rhagorol cynghorau RhCT a Phen-y-bont ar Ogwr, y Cynghorwyr Andrew Morgan a Huw David, dystiolaeth ar fetro de Cymru i Bwyllgor yr Economi, Seilwaith a Sgiliau. Roeddent yn dadlau bod angen i'r metro gysylltu ar draws y Cymoedd gogleddol ac nid cryfhau cysylltiadau i Gaerdydd ac oddi yno'n unig. A fyddai'r Prif Weinidog yn cytuno ac ymrwymo i sicrhau bod hyn yn digwydd?

Last Thursday morning, the excellent leaders of RCT and Bridgend councils, Councillors Andrew Morgan and Huw David, gave evidence on the south Wales metro to the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee. They argued that the metro needs to connect across the northern Valleys and not just strengthen links to and from Cardiff. Would the First Minister agree and commit to ensuring that this happens?

Felly, ar y sail honno, rwy'n annog gweithredwyr bysiau, awdurdodau lleol, teithwyr a phobl Cymru i ymuno â'r drafodaeth genedlaethol hon ynghylch sut y gallwn sicrhau bod pobl Cymru yn gallu parhau i symud ymhell i'r dyfodol.

So, on that basis, I am encouraging bus operators, local authorities, passengers and the people of Wales to join this national discussion about how we make sure that the people of Wales can keep moving well into the future.

Daliwch ati - fe ddywedaf wrthych pryd i eistedd.

Keep going - I'll tell you when you sit down.

Oes yna ryw syniad o'r amserlen ar gyfer hynny? So, rydyn ni'n sôn am ddŵr a rheoleiddio iechyd a chymdeithasau tai, i fod yn glir. Rheina fydd y safonau nesaf i ddod gerbron, ond pryd fydd hynna'n digwydd?

Is there any idea regarding the timetable for that? So, we're talking about water and health regulation and housing associations, to be clear. Those will be the next standards to come forward, but when will that happen?

Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae'n neis i fod yn ôl a gweld pobl. 2. A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddatganiad am ddyraniadau'r gyllideb i'r portffolio iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol mewn perthynas â darparu gwasanaethau i blant? OQ56819

Thank you very much. It's nice to be back and to see everybody. 2. Will the Minister make a statement on budget allocations to the health and social services portfolio in relation to the provision of children's services? OQ56819
Ocê. Sori, ond mae'n rhaid i ni ddod â'r sesiwn i ben nawr, yn anffodus. Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi am eich amser ac am roi tystiolaeth inni.

Okay. Sorry, but we have to bring this session to a close, I'm afraid. Thank you very much to you for your time and for giving evidence this morning.
We'll move on to item 6. You will be aware that Bethan is still absent, so I would seek your permission to remain in the Chair, temporarily, for the next three meetings of the committee. But, of course, if Bethan does return before Christmas, then she will retake the Chair. Are you content for that to happen? Thank you very much.

Ymlaen at eitem 6. Rydych chi'n ymwybodol bod Bethan yn absennol o hyd. Felly, hoffwn eich caniatâd chi i gario ymlaen yn y Gadair dros dro am dri chyfarfod nesaf y pwyllgor, ond, os ydy Bethan yn ôl cyn y Nadolig, yna bydd hi'n cymryd y Gadair yn ôl. A ydych chi'n hapus i hynny ddigwydd? Iawn, diolch.
Gwnaf. Rwy'n falch iawn ein bod wedi cytuno ar y canfed contract economaidd yn ddiweddar. Nid yw ond wedi bod ar waith ers chwe mis ac - [ Anghlywadwy. ]

Yes. I am delighted that we recently agreed the hundredth economic contract. It's only been in place for six months and this - [ Inaudible. ]
Wel, cyn belled â bod y gwerslyfr ddim yn hwyr i ddechrau, ydyn; mae'n werth rhoi cynnig arni. Mae yna her ynglŷn â'r wyth wythnos, mae yna her ynglŷn â bod y cyhoeddwr yn gallu cadw at yr amserlen o ran y gyfrol Saesneg i ddechrau, ond rŷm ni'n fodlon arbrofi, ac rydw i'n meddwl mai dwy gyfrol rŷm ni'n sôn am wneud hyn gyda nhw.

Well, as long as the textbook isn't late in the first place, then yes; it's worth trying. There is a challenge on the eight weeks, there is a challenge in the publisher sticking to the timetable in terms of the English version first of all, but we are willing to use this as a test bed, and we're working on two specific textbooks on this.

A gawn ni ofyn i Aelodau, yn enwedig y Gweinidog iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol - ? Diolch. Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, Lywydd.

Can we ask Members, particularly the health and social services Minister - ? Thank you. Sorry, Llywydd.

Diolch. Fel yr wyf wedi dweud yn blaen yn gynharach, mae'r rhanddeiliaid yr ydym ni wedi ymgysylltu â nhw wedi dweud eu hunain bod angen i ddiffiniadau fod yn gyson â deddfwriaethau eraill y DU, ac felly rwy'n hollol argyhoeddedig wrth gynnig y gwelliannau hynny.

Thank you, Minister. As I've plainly said earlier, stakeholders that we've engaged with have said themselves that definitions need to be consistent with other UK legislation, and therefore I stand very firm on moving those amendments.
Andrew, did you yield any of your time?

Andrew, a wnaethoch chi ildio peth o'ch amser?

Diolch. You mention national indicators and, as you know, the Act said Welsh Ministers must publish national indicators that may be applied for the purpose of measuring progress towards the achievement of the purpose of this Act. Given that 29 April this year will be the third anniversary of Royal Assent for the Act, could you give us a little more information on where you stand with national indicators? You say later this year. Can you say when and what stage you've reached in their formulation?

Diolch. Rydych yn sôn am ddangosyddion cenedlaethol ac fel y gwyddoch, mae'r Ddeddf yn dweud bod yn rhaid i Weinidogion Cymru gyhoeddi dangosyddion cenedlaethol y gellir eu defnyddio i fesur cynnydd tuag at gyflawni diben y Ddeddf hon. O gofio y bydd trydydd pen blwydd y Cydsyniad Brenhinol ar gyfer y Ddeddf ar 29 Ebrill eleni, a allech roi ychydig mwy o wybodaeth i ni parthed eich safbwynt ar ddangosyddion cenedlaethol? Rydych yn dweud yn ddiweddarach eleni. A allwch ddweud pryd a pha gam rydych wedi'i gyrraedd yn y broses o'u llunio?
Fel fframwaith, wel, mae'r fframwaith newydd, heb os nac oni bai, wedi gwella ac yn rhagori ar yr un diwethaf. Mae hyn oherwydd ein bod ni'n edrych ar y cyfnodau cynnar hynny. Rwy'n credu bod deilliant 1 yn allweddol a bod yr elfennau sydd yn rhoi'r sail yna i fwydo y deilliannau yn y cyfnodau statudol yn bwysig. Ond, dwi'n credu hefyd mai beth mae unrhyw fanylu ac ehangu yn ei wneud yw dangos y gwendidau efallai sydd hefyd angen mynd i'r afael â nhw. Felly, er efallai eu bod nhw yn welliant, dŷn nhw ddim o bell ffordd yn berffaith.

Well, as a framework, the new framework, without a doubt, is an improvement on the previous one. This is because we are looking at the early years. I think outcome 1 is important, and the elements that give that basis to feed into the outcomes in the statutory stages are important too. But, I think what any increase in detail does is point out weaknesses, possibly, that also need to be tackled. So, although they are an improvement on the previous situation, they are not perfect by any means.
Thank you for raising this particular issue. Of course, throughout the pandemic, Welsh Government has provided a range of support, which childcare providers have been able to access - from paying for places that children weren't actually using in order to ensure that provision was continuing to be viable, to the provision of grants for parts of the sector as well. But clearly, again, we're not able to reach every single provider, so it would be really helpful if Caroline Jones would write to the health Minister regarding the specific cases that she's familiar with in Port Talbot in order for that to inform the thinking for the support for the sector as we move forward.

Diolch am godi'r mater penodol hwn. Wrth gwrs, drwy gydol y pandemig, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi darparu ystod o gymorth, y bu modd i ddarparwyr gofal plant gael gafael arno - sy'n amrywio o dalu am leoedd nad oedd plant yn eu defnyddio ar gyfer sicrhau y bydd y ddarpariaeth yn para i fod yn hyfyw, i ddarparu grantiau ar gyfer rhannau o'r sector hefyd. Ond yn amlwg, unwaith eto, nid yw'n bosibl inni gyrraedd pob darparwr unigol, felly fe fyddai o werth mawr pe byddai Caroline Jones yn ysgrifennu at y Gweinidog Iechyd am yr achosion penodol hynny y mae hi'n gyfarwydd â nhw ym Mhort Talbot er mwyn i hynny lywio'r ystyriaeth a roddir i gefnogaeth i'r sector wrth inni symud ymlaen.
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

I entirely accept that it's local government who have told you, and I quote from the blog:

Rydw i'n derbyn yn llwyr mai llywodraeth leol sydd wedi dweud wrthych chi, ac rydw i'n dyfynnu o'r blog:
Diolch, Lywydd. Weinidog, dywedodd Dr Andrew Goodall wrth y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus ddydd Llun ei fod yn siomedig iawn fod gan dri o saith bwrdd iechyd lleol Cymru ddiffyg o filiynau o bunnoedd. A ydych yn rhannu ei siom fod Betsi Cadwaladr, Hywel Dda a Bae Abertawe yn rhagweld diffyg cyfunol o dros £92 miliwn ar gyfer 2019 i 2020? Rhagwelir y bydd bwrdd Betsi Cadwaladr £41 miliwn yn y coch; Hywel Dda heb fod ymhell ar ei ôl gyda diffyg o £35 miliwn. Bydd gan fy mwrdd iechyd i, Bae Abertawe, £16.3 miliwn o ddiffyg, ac mae hynny'n ddigon i gyflogi tua 465 o radiograffwyr. Weinidog, pam y gall rhai byrddau iechyd fantoli'r cyllidebau a bod eraill yn cael diffygion enfawr?

Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, Dr Andrew Goodall told the Public Accounts Committee on Monday that he's very disappointed that three of Wales's seven local health boards are millions of pounds in deficit. Do you share his disappointment that Betsi Cadwaladr, Hywel Dda and Swansea Bay are forecasting a combined deficit of over £92 million for 2019 to 2020? Betsi Cadwaladr is predicted to be £41 million in the red; Hywel Dda not far behind with a £35 million deficit. My own health board, Swansea Bay, will be £16.3 million in deficit, and that's enough to employ around 465 radiographers. Minister, why can some health boards break even and others rack up massive deficits?
This was something I was very keen to do. I was very eager to see what I would do in that situation. What would you do if you don't understand the system? So, we've ensured that every health board has had to show clearly on their websites exactly what services are available in this area.

Mae hwn yn rhywbeth roeddwn i'n rili keen i'w wneud. Roeddwn i'n awyddus iawn i weld beth fyddwn i'n ei wneud yn y sefyllfa yna. Ble byddech chi'n mynd os nad oeddech chi'n deall y system? Felly, rŷm ni wedi sicrhau bod pob awdurdod iechyd nawr wedi gorfod dangos yn glir ar eu gwefannau yn union beth yw'r gwasanaethau sydd ar gael yn y maes yma.
Many children are living in poverty not caused by parental indolence or wastefulness; many parents are working two or three jobs, but at minimum wage, on irregular hours. The expansion of free school meals to a universal provision of meals is very welcome. What further help can the Welsh Government give to support foodbanks, and will the Welsh Government make representation to end the fixed charge by energy companies, which means people are paying for energy on days they do not use any? This is the cruellest charge you've got - you don't use any energy for five days, and you then heat a bowl of soup, which costs you somewhere around £2.50 or £3.00.

Mae llawer o blant yn byw mewn tlodi nad yw wedi'i achosi gan ddiogi neu afradlondeb rhieni; mae llawer o rieni yn gweithio dwy neu dair swydd, ond am isafswm cyflog, ar oriau afreolaidd. Mae ehangu prydau ysgol am ddim i ddarpariaeth gyffredinol o brydau bwyd i'w groesawu'n fawr. Pa gymorth pellach all Llywodraeth Cymru ei roi i gynorthwyo banciau bwyd, ac a fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwneud dadl i roi terfyn ar y tâl sefydlog gan gwmnïau ynni, sy'n golygu bod pobl yn talu am ynni ar ddiwrnodau nad ydyn nhw'n defnyddio unrhyw ynni? Dyma'r tâl mwyaf creulon sydd gennych chi - dydych chi ddim yn defnyddio unrhyw ynni am bum diwrnod, ac yna rydych chi'n cynhesu powlen o gawl, sy'n costio tua £2.50 neu £3.00 i chi.
Will you take an intervention, leader of the house?

A wnewch chi dderbyn ymyriad, arweinydd y tŷ?

I think that it does vary from school to school a great deal, and from one teacher to another, but I think that it is a qualification that's essentially difficult to understand. There are things that could be done to simplify it in terms of structures and content and assessment, as the Qualifications Wales report has stated, that perhaps would facilitate understanding and appreciation amongst teachers and learners and parents similarly.

Mae hi'n amrywio lot o ysgol i ysgol ac o athro i athro, ond rydw i'n credu ei fod o'n gymhwyster anodd ei ddeall yn ei hanfod. Mae yna bethau y gellid eu gwneud i'w symleiddio o ran strwythurau a chynnwys ac asesu, fel y mae adroddiad Cymwysterau Cymru wedi dweud, a fyddai efallai'n hwyluso dealltwriaeth a gwerthfawrogiad, wedyn, ymhlith athrawon a dysgwyr a rhieni fel ei gilydd.
Bore da, pawb. Dwi'n athro yn y diwydiannau creadigol ym Mhrifysgol De Cymru. Diolch am y croeso.

Good morning, everyone. I'm a professor in the creative industries at the University of South Wales. Thank you very much for the welcome.
The next item, therefore, is the statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services on an update on Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, and I call on the Minister to make his statement - Vaughan Gething.

Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ar y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Cwm Taf Morgannwg, a dwi'n galw'r Gweinidog i wneud ei ddatganiad - Vaughan Gething.
Ond byddech yn cytuno, efallai, nad yw hwn cweit ddigon cryf fel mae'n sefyll ar hyn o bryd, a bod yna le i wella arno efallai o ran pwy sydd yn gyfrifol am weithredu'r strategaeth a'r camau pellach. Iawn i gael strategaeth, ond pwy sydd yn mynd i fod yn monitro ei bod yn gweithio?

But you would agree, perhaps, that this isn't quite strong enough as it stands at present, and that there's room for improvement, perhaps, in terms of who's responsible for implementing the strategy and the further steps. It's fine to have a strategy, but who's going to be monitoring that it works?
Nid wyf yn gyfreithiwr, felly rwy'n awyddus i ddeall pam y gwnaethoch chi benderfynu cadw adran 173 ar ei ffurf ddiwygiedig pan fydd gan landlordiaid adran 21 o hyd i droi ati pan fydd angen iddyn nhw gael gwared ar denantiaid sy'n dinistrio eu heiddo. Dyna'r peth cyntaf, ac yna, yn ail, oherwydd fel eraill, mae arnaf i eisiau rhoi terfyn ar droi pobl allan heb fai, oherwydd, fel arall, nid yw tenantiaethau preifat yn ddewis ymarferol i deuluoedd â phlant a allai wedyn gael eu gorfodi i dynnu eu plant o'r ysgol lle maen nhw'n ffynnu, ac mae hynny'n amlwg yn cael effaith enfawr ar eu haddysg. Yn ail, tybed a allech chi ymhelaethu ar y canlyniad y daethpwyd iddo bellach gyda'r llysoedd i'n galluogi i weithredu Deddf Rhentu Cartrefi (Cymru), oherwydd bu hyn, rwy'n cytuno, yn faen tramgwydd ers cryn amser pan fuom ni'n trafod Deddfau pellach, oherwydd na fu'r Ddeddf honno ar waith. Felly, rwy'n awyddus iawn i ddeall hynny.

I'm not a lawyer, so I'm keen to understand why you decided to retain section 173 in its revised form when landlords still have section 21 to call on when they need to get rid of tenants who are destroying their property. That's No. 1, and then, secondly, because like others, I want an end to no-fault evictions, because, otherwise, private tenancies are simply not a viable alternative for families with children who can then have their children forcibly removed from the school where they're flourishing, and that obviously has a huge impact on their education. Secondly, I just wondered if you could elaborate on the solution that's now been reached with the courts to enable us to implement the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, because this, I agree, has been a bugbear for some time when we've been discussing further Acts, because the Act has not been in place. So, I'd be very keen to find that out.
Prif Weinidog, mae mynegai amddifadedd lluosog Cymru yn awgrymu bod gan aelwydydd lle ceir plant gyfradd uwch o amddifadedd incwm na'r boblogaeth yn gyffredinol, gyda 24 y cant o aelwydydd o'r fath mewn amddifadedd, o'i gymharu ag 16 y cant yn gyffredinol. Mae Aelodau yn y Senedd hon yn ymwybodol iawn bod credyd cynhwysol, y taliad misol sengl sy'n disodli'r chwe budd-dal oedran gweithio presennol, yn cael ei gyflwyno ledled Cymru. Er gwaethaf y gwaith rhagorol a rhagweithiol sy'n cael ei wneud yng Nghymru i gynorthwyo, cynghori a helpu'r rhai sy'n cael eu heffeithio gan ddiwygio lles, mae'n anochel y bydd credyd cynhwysol yn cael effaith negyddol ar fywydau'r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed ar draws ein gwlad, trwy weithrediad proses y mae'n ymddangos sydd wedi ei chynllunio'n fwriadol i wthio pobl i dlodi a dyled. Pa sylwadau all Llywodraeth Cymru eu gwneud i'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol dros Waith a Phensiynau i alw ar Lywodraeth Dorïaidd y DU i ailystyried polisi hynod atchweliadol a dinistriol?

First Minister, the Welsh index of multiple deprivation suggests that households containing children have a higher rate of income deprivation than the overall population, with 24 per cent of such households in deprivation, compared with 16 per cent overall. Members in this Senedd are very well aware that universal credit, the single monthly payment that replaces the six current working-age benefits, is being rolled out across Wales. Despite the outstanding and proactive work being undertaken in Wales to support, advise and assist those impacted by welfare reform, it is inevitable that universal credit will impact negatively on the lives of the most vulnerable people across our nation, through the operation of a process that seems designed to purposely push people into poverty and debt. What representations can the Welsh Government make to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to call on the UK Tory Government to rethink a highly regressive and destructive policy?
