Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on the commercial access deal struck between NHS Wales and Roche, which will mean that breast cancer patients in Wales can access the Kadcyla drug? TAQ (5) 0192 (HWS)

A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ddatganiad am y cytundeb mynediad masnachol rhwng GIG Cymru a Roche, a fydd yn golygu y gall cleifion canser y fron yng Nghymru gael gafael ar y cyffur Kadcyla? TAQ (5) 0192 (HWS)

The next item is questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services, and the first question is from Sam Rowlands.

Y cwestiynau nesaf fydd i'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Sam Rowlands.

Thank you very much once again, Secretary, for that response. Very differently to the Mynydd y Gwair scheme, the response of local residents to the Awel Aman Tawe windfarm has been very positive, partially because of the size of it, but partially also because the local community profits directly from it. Would you agree, therefore, that there are lessons to be learnt by Welsh Government in terms of the need to support local communities that wish to see renewable energy schemes being developed, and what are your plans in that field?

Diolch yn fawr unwaith eto, Ysgrifennydd, am yr ateb yna. Yn wahanol iawn i'r cynllun ar Fynydd y Gwair, mae ymateb y trigolion lleol ger fferm wynt Awel Aman Tawe wedi bod yn bositif iawn, yn rhannol oherwydd maint y fferm, wrth gwrs, ond, yn ei hanfod, oherwydd bod y gymuned leol yn elwa'n uniongyrchol ohoni. Felly, a ydych chi'n cytuno bod yna wersi gan Lywodraeth Cymru i'w dysgu yn fan hyn yn nhermau'r angen i gefnogi cymunedau lleol sydd am weld ynni adnewyddadwy yn cael ei ddatblygu, a beth yw eich cynlluniau chi yn y maes yna?

It would obviously be very interesting for all of us to see this, because, clearly, it's a crucial piece of information if we're going to get the modal shift of people with the investment that we're hoping we're going to make in the metro. Obviously, there's a wealth of evidence that people will only shift if there is either improved journey times and/or an improved cost for their journeys. I just wondered if you could say anything more about that, given that you have got the information and we haven't.

Byddai'n amlwg yn ddiddorol iawn i bob un ohonom weld hyn, oherwydd, yn amlwg, mae'n wybodaeth hanfodol os ydym yn mynd i gael y newid moddol gan bobl gyda'r buddsoddiad y gobeithiwn y byddwn yn ei wneud yn y metro. Yn amlwg, ceir toreth o dystiolaeth na fydd pobl yn newid oni bai bod amseroedd teithio'n gwella a/neu fod eu teithiau'n costio llai. Roeddwn yn meddwl tybed a allwch ddweud unrhyw beth arall am hynny, o ystyried bod y wybodaeth gennych chi ac nad yw gennym ni.
Thank you for that answer, First Minister. During my recent work with health services in Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney, I was very struck by the high incidences of mental health problems amongst people in parts of our criminal justice system, and I took particular interest in the amount of police time being taken up by the duty of care that they hold towards such vulnerable people. I know we have some incredible initiatives, actually, to help address this, like the clinical adviser project in the Gwent force police area, a model that is soon to be rolled out in the south Wales force area. But what further action can Welsh Government take to ensure places of sanctuary are provided for people with mental health issues that, in turn, can help to free up police resources for front-line policing?

Diolch am yr ateb yna, Prif Weinidog. Yn ystod fy ngwaith diweddar gyda gwasanaethau iechyd ym Merthyr Tudful a Rhymni, cefais fy nharo gan y nifer uchel o achosion o broblemau iechyd meddwl ymhlith pobl mewn rhannau o'n system cyfiawnder troseddol, a chymerais ddiddordeb arbennig mewn faint o amser yr heddlu a oedd yn cael ei gymryd gan y ddyletswydd o ofal sydd ganddyn nhw tuag at bobl agored i niwed o'r fath. Gwn fod gennym rai mentrau anhygoel, a dweud y gwir, i helpu i fynd i'r afael â hyn, fel y prosiect cynghorydd clinigol yn ardal heddlu Gwent, model a fydd yn cael ei gyflwyno yn ardal heddlu de Cymru yn fuan. Ond pa gamau eraill all Llywodraeth Cymru eu cymryd i sicrhau bod noddfeydd yn cael eu darparu ar gyfer pobl â phroblemau iechyd meddwl a all, yn eu tro, helpu i ryddhau adnoddau'r heddlu ar gyfer plismona rheng flaen?
Rwy'n ystyried hynny'n eironig. Un funud rydych yn lladd arnom am galedi, a'r funud nesaf rydych yn dweud ein bod yn benthyca gormod, ydych, yn y fan honno, ond clywsom gan y prif siaradwr ar ran Plaid Cymru am Gymru nad yw'n debyg mewn unrhyw fodd i'r Gymru roeddech chi'n sôn amdani, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Pwy sy'n iawn? Chi neu ef?

I do find that ironic. One minute you're slating us for austerity, the next minute you're saying we're borrowing too much, you are, then then, but we heard from the principal Plaid Cymru speaker of a Wales that doesn't bear any resemblance to the Wales that you were drawing on, Cabinet Secretary. Who's right? You or him?
Weinidog, mae dros £32 miliwn wedi'i roi mewn grantiau busnes i fusnesau ar draws Castell-nedd Port Talbot, ac rwy'n croesawu hynny'n fawr. Ond mae llawer o'r busnesau bach hynny'n dibynnu ar un busnes mawr - Tata - yn fy etholaeth, ac maent wedi gwneud cais i Lywodraeth y DU o'r blaen am gymorth drwy gyllid y cynllun benthyciadau tarfu ar fusnes yn sgil y coronafeirws. Nid ydynt wedi clywed unrhyw beth eto. A ydych wedi cael cyfle i siarad ag Ysgrifennydd Gwladol newydd yr Adran Busnes, Ynni a Strategaeth Ddiwydiannol i drafod sut y gall gefnogi Tata yn ystod y cyfnod penodol hwn?

Minister, over £32 million has been given out in business grants to businesses across Neath Port Talbot and I very much welcome that. But many of those small businesses depend upon one large business - Tata - in my constituency, and they have previously applied to the UK Government for help from the coronavirus business interruption loan scheme funding. They haven't heard yet. Have you had a chance to speak to the new Secretary of State for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to discuss how he can support Tata during this particular time?
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

Item 3 this afternoon is a statement by the Minister for Social Justice on Holocaust Memorial Day 2023. I call on the Minister, Jane Hutt.

Eitem 3 y prynhawn yma yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol ar Ddiwrnod Cofio'r Holocost 2023. Galwaf ar y Gweinidog, Jane Hutt.
Thank you. Your programme for government also sets out a promise to provide a funding floor for local government funding. However, there is no mention or consideration of rural councils, which have consistently and previously, over previous terms, been weighted against when it comes to the local government settlement. Will you commit to an immediate review of the funding formula to ensure that the local government settlement also considers and recognises the unique challenges that our rural councils face?

Diolch. Mae eich rhaglen lywodraethu hefyd yn nodi addewid i ddarparu cyllid gwaelodol ar gyfer cyllido llywodraeth leol. Fodd bynnag, nid oes unrhyw sôn am gynghorau gwledig nac ystyriaeth ohonynt, a thros dymhorau blaenorol, pwysolwyd yn eu herbyn yn gyson mewn perthynas â'r setliad llywodraeth leol. A wnewch chi ymrwymo i gynnal adolygiad ar unwaith o'r fformiwla ariannu er mwyn sicrhau bod y setliad llywodraeth leol hefyd yn ystyried ac yn cydnabod yr heriau unigryw sy'n wynebu ein cynghorau gwledig?

We continue to invest in our NHS workforce to improve experience for patients and staff, including additional funding for extra training places for paramedics and a range of other health professions in 2023-24. This is the ninth consecutive year that health professional education and training budgets have increased in Wales.

Rydym yn parhau i fuddsoddi yn ein gweithlu yn y GIG i wella profiad i gleifion a staff, gan gynnwys cyllid ychwanegol ar gyfer lleoedd hyfforddi ychwanegol i barafeddygon ac ystod o broffesiynau iechyd eraill yn 2023-24. Dyma'r nawfed flwyddyn yn olynol i gyllidebau addysg a hyfforddiant proffesiynol iechyd gynyddu yng Nghymru.

To conclude then, however, we do think that the Government has got elements of these nationwide restrictions wrong, so we're asking for a rethink. And it feels most wrong, I think, in parts of Wales where there is lower incidence of the virus. We're calling for a rethink on elements. We're asking again, at every turn in this story, show us and the Welsh public clearly the basis on which decisions are made.

I orffen felly, fodd bynnag, credwn fod y Llywodraeth yn anghywir am elfennau o'r cyfyngiadau cenedlaethol hyn, felly rydym yn gofyn iddynt ailfeddwl. Ac mae'n teimlo'n anghywir iawn, rwy'n meddwl, mewn rhannau o Gymru lle mae llai o achosion o'r feirws. Rydym yn galw am ailfeddwl ynglŷn â rhai elfennau. Rydym yn gofyn eto, ar bob cam o'r stori hon, i chi ddangos yn glir i ni a'r cyhoedd yng Nghymru ar ba sail y gwneir penderfyniadau.

So, you would argue against the use of the term 'bureaucracy'. You would say that it was there for a purpose, that it's part of -

Felly, byddech chi'n dadlau yn erbyn y term sy'n cael ei roi o gwmpas, sef ei bod hi'n fiwrocrataidd. Byddech chi'n dweud bod y broses yno am bwrpas, bod hynny'n rhan o -
Diolch. This Government supports young entrants to agriculture through several important measures. Six million pounds has been made available over the next two years in the recent budget settlement for a young entrants scheme, which we are in the process of developing and which complements our wider package of support. And, of course, we are meeting this afternoon to discuss it further.

Diolch. Mae'r Llywodraeth hon yn cefnogi newydd-ddyfodiaid ifanc i amaethyddiaeth drwy nifer o fesurau pwysig. Yn y setliad cyllidebol diweddar, neilltuwyd £6 miliwn dros y ddwy flynedd nesaf ar gyfer cynllun cymorth i newydd-ddyfodiaid ifanc yr ydym yn y broses o'i ddatblygu ac sy'n ategu ein pecyn cymorth ehangach. Ac wrth gwrs rydym yn cyfarfod y prynhawn yma i'w drafod ymhellach.
We are committed to delivering high-quality health and care services centred on individual needs and outcomes. Our 'More than just words' strategic framework sets out our commitment and actions to support and strengthen the planning and delivery of Welsh language services in health and care, including, of course, mental health services.

Rydym wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal o ansawdd uchel sy'n canolbwyntio ar anghenion a chanlyniadau unigolion. Mae ein fframwaith strategol 'Mwy na Geiriau' yn nodi ein hymrwymiad a'n camau gweithredu i gefnogi a chryfhau'r broses o gynllunio a darparu gwasanaethau Cymraeg ym maes iechyd a gofal, gan gynnwys, wrth gwrs, gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl.

Thank you. As set out in our 2022-23 budget, our priority has been to use every possible lever to deliver our ambitious programme for government, provide the foundations for our post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery, and to move forwards towards a stronger, fairer and a greener Wales.

Diolch. Fel sydd wedi'i nodi yn ein cyllideb 2022-23, ein blaenoriaeth ni oedd defnyddio pob ysgogiad posibl i gyflawni ein rhaglen lywodraethu uchelgeisiol, darparu'r sylfeini ar gyfer ein hadferiad pandemig ar ôl COVID-19, a symud ymlaen tuag at Gymru gryfach, decach a gwyrddach.

I have close to 25 per cent of all Assembly Members requesting to speak and ask a question of the Trefnydd. I'll endeavour to ask as many as possible of you to contribute, but if you have three or four requests in front of you, you're only going to get your top one, so choose well. Suzy Davies.

Mae bron i 25 y cant o holl Aelodau'r Cynulliad wedi gofyn am gael siarad a gofyn cwestiwn i'r Trefnydd. Byddaf yn ceisio gofyn i gynifer â phosibl ohonoch gyfrannu, ond os oes gennych dri neu bedwar cais o'ch blaen, dim ond yr un uchaf fyddwch yn cael ei ofyn, felly dewiswch yn dda. Suzy Davies.

The Welsh Ministers have informed the developer of the biomass plant that they are minded to direct that an environmental impact assessment must accompany their planning application currently before the Vale of Glamorgan Council. Any representations they will make will be taken into account before a final decision is made.

Mae Gweinidogion Cymru wedi rhoi gwybod i ddatblygwr y safle biomas eu bod yn ystyried ei gwneud yn ofynnol iddynt gyflwyno asesiad o'r effaith amgylcheddol ochr yn ochr â'u cais cynllunio sydd gerbron Cyngor Bro Morgannwg ar hyn o bryd. Bydd unrhyw sylwadau a wneir ganddynt yn cael eu hystyried cyn y gwneir penderfyniad terfynol.
Wel, mae hwnnw'n fater yr ydym ni'n ei godi gyda BT. Nhw yw'r unig ddarparwr, wrth gwrs - nid oes cystadleuaeth yn y farchnad hon. Ac rydym ni'n sicrhau y bydd BT yn cyflwyno'r contract hwnnw ac yn darparu'r gwasanaethau yr ydym ni wedi talu amdanynt.

Well, that is a matter that we're taking up with BT. They are the only provider, of course - there's no competition in this market. And we are ensuring that BT will roll out that contract and provide the services that we've paid for.
Welcome back all to this afternoon's section of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee meeting here in the Senedd.

Croeso yn ôl i bawb i adran y prynhawn o gyfarfod y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon yma yn y Senedd.
We will move straight to questions, if that's okay. I'll move to Alun Davies.

Fe wnawn ni symud yn syth at gwestiynau, os yw hynny'n ocê. Gwnaf i symud at Alun Davies.

So, what they're talking about, Llywydd, is a national framework, where the local responsibilities remain.

So, beth maen nhw'n siarad amdano, Llywydd, yw fframwaith cenedlaethol, lle mae'r cyfrifoldebau lleol yn dal i fod yna.

Thank you, Alun. We are running out of time. Minister.

Diolch, Alun. Mae amser yn mynd yn brin. Gweinidog.
The Welsh Government is progressing a foundational economy policy, of which food is an integral part. Cabinet colleagues and I regularly discuss linkages between our portfolios and the wider procurement of local produce. Local authorities and schools are responsible for purchasing food for school meals and procuring from agreed suppliers.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn datblygu polisi economi sylfaenol, gyda bwyd yn rhan annatod ohono. Mae fy nghyd-Weinidogion a minnau yn cael trafodaethau rheolaidd ar y cysylltiadau rhwng ein portffolios a chaffael cynnyrch lleol yn ehangach. Awdurdodau lleol ac ysgolion sy'n gyfrifol am brynu bwyd ar gyfer prydau ysgol a chaffael gan gyflenwyr y cytunwyd arnynt.

We have heard about this capital, but, again, the money available for stalled sites takes for granted that the sites would have been commenced already, and the big problem is the upfront cost to get them started in the first place. So, what I would encourage is that finance is channelled, not only to builders with planning consent in the first place, but also to builders who have an interest in getting a site to the point where they can obtain planning consent for building.

Rydym ni wedi clywed am y cyfalaf yma, ond eto mae'r arian a fydd ar gael ar gyfer stalled sites - mae hynny'n cymryd yn ganiataol bod y sites wedi dechrau'n barod, a'r broblem fawr ydy'r upfront cost i'w cael nhw i ddechrau, yn y lle cyntaf. Felly, beth y buaswn i'n ei annog ydy bod cyllid yn cael ei sianeli i, nid yn unig adeiladwyr sydd efo caniatâd cynllunio yn y lle cyntaf, ond hefyd adeiladwyr sydd efo diddordeb mewn cael sites i'r pwynt lle maen nhw'n gallu cael caniatâd cynllunio cyn adeiladu.

More generally, then, are there other initiatives in the pipeline to improve the way we receive our news?

Ac yn fwy cyffredinol, wedyn, a oes yna fentrau eraill ar waith i wella'r ffordd rydym ni'n derbyn ein newyddion?

We'll now suspend the meeting until about 10.25 a.m. so that the new witnesses can join the meeting. So, we'll adjourn and suspend the broadcast until about 10.25 a.m. Thank you very much.

Mi wnawn ni nawr fel pwyllgor ohirio'r cyfarfod tan tua 10.25 a.m. er mwyn i ni ganiatáu amser i'r tystion newydd ddod i mewn i'r cyfarfod. Felly, mi wnawn ni oedi'r cyfarfod a'r darllediad tan tua 10.25 a.m. Diolch yn fawr.

Thank you for your answer, Counsel General. I believe it is vital that legal education in Wales is firmly placed within the Welsh context and focuses on building an awareness of Welsh law. Ahead of the forthcoming meeting of the proposed members of its executive committee, can you outline your priorities for the remit of the law council?

Diolch am eich ateb, Gwnsler Cyffredinol. Credaf ei bod yn hanfodol fod addysg gyfreithiol yng Nghymru mewn sefyllfa gadarn yng nghyd-destun Cymru ac yn canolbwyntio ar adeiladu ymwybyddiaeth o gyfraith Cymru. Cyn cyfarfod nesaf aelodau arfaethedig y pwyllgor gwaith, a allwch chi amlinellu eich blaenoriaethau ar gyfer cylch gwaith y cyngor cyfraith?
Diolch am y cwestiwn. Mae gennym gamau ar waith i wella ein gofal iechyd yng Nghymru drwy gynllun cyflenwi ar gyfer gofal llygaid, ynghyd â'r cynllun gwella gofal offthalmoleg wedi'i gynllunio. Mae adroddiad Arolygiaeth Gofal Iechyd Cymru yn tanlinellu'r angen am welliant pellach ledled Cymru. Rwy'n disgwyl i fyrddau iechyd weithredu'r camau sy'n ofynnol er mwyn sicrhau gwell canlyniadau i bob claf.

Thank you for the question. We have action in place to improve our healthcare in Wales through the eye care delivery plan, together with the planned care ophthalmology improvement plan. The HIW report underscores the need for further improvement across Wales. I expect health boards to implement the required actions to ensure better outcomes for all patients.
The three questions that I have relate to the calling-in procedures. The first question is: how have the revised approval, pre-notification and notification arrangements for arm's length bodies been operating following what was described as a transitional year in 2019-20? That is, has the process been successful?

Mae'r tri chwestiwn sydd gyda fi yn ymwneud â'r gweithdrefnau galw i mewn. Y cwestiwn cyntaf yw: sut mae'r trefniadau cymeradwyo, rhaghysbysu a hysbysu diwygiedig ar gyfer cyrff hyd braich wedi cael eu gweithredu yn dilyn yr hyn a ddisgrifiwyd fel blwyddyn drosiannol yn 2019-20? Hynny yw, ydy'r broses wedi bod yn llwyddiannus?
Dwi'n deall hynny a dwi'n gwerthfawrogi hynny; dwi ddim yn herio hynny o gwbl. Ond dwi eisiau deall ydy hyn yn - dyw hon ddim yn gost ychwanegol.

I understand and appreciate that; I don't challenge that at all. But I just want to understand whether this is - it's not an additional cost.

Ac wrth edrych yn ôl ar eich cyfnod chi fel Prif Weinidog, pa mor rhwystredig ydych chi nad ydych chi wedi llwyddo i gael gwell reolaeth ar TB mewn gwartheg yn y cyfnod yna? Oherwydd, o'r flwyddyn gyntaf i chi fod yn Brif Weinidog, roedd 7,500 o wartheg wedi eu difa; y llynedd, roedd e dros 10,000. Felly, mae yna gynnydd wedi bod. Ac ai un o'r pethau rydych chi'n ei ddifaru fwyaf, efallai, yw y methiant yna i gyflwyno elfen o ddifa moch daear yn y cyfnod yna o gwmpas tua 2010?

And looking back at your period as First Minister, how frustrated are you that you haven't succeeded to have better control over bovine TB during that period? Because, from the first year that you were First Minister, there were 7,500 cows culled, and last year there were more than 10,000. So, there has been an increase. Therefore, is one of the things that you most regret the failure to introduce an element of the culling of badgers in that period, around 2010?

Steffan Roberts. Sori, mae'r Gweinidog - ar fy sgrin i, ta beth - wedi diflannu, felly efallai ei fod e'n cael problemau gyda'r cyfrifiadur, ond Steffan Roberts, ydych chi eisiau dod i mewn ar hynny?

Sorry, the Minister's disappeared from my screen, and so he may be having some problems, but Steffan Roberts, do you want to come in at that point?
Thank you. Sam Rowlands.

Diolch. Sam Rowlands.
If you don't mind. I think it was Sir Nicholas Macpherson, the former head of the Treasury, who stood down last year, who said '£1 billion for Ulster is just a downpayment. DUP will be back for more' So, in terms of the consistency of this arrangement moving forward, are you concerned about that?

Os yw hynny'n iawn. Rwy'n meddwl mai Syr Nicholas Macpherson, cyn bennaeth y Trysorlys, a adawodd ei swydd y llynedd, a ddywedodd 'Dim ond blaendal yw'r £1 biliwn i Ulster. Bydd y DUP yn ôl am ragor' Felly, o ran cysondeb y trefniant hwn wrth symud ymlaen, a ydych chi'n pryderu am hynny?
Thank you very much for confirming that. Is the Youth Parliament budget going to be in any way tied in with that £0.25 million?

Reit. Diolch yn fawr iawn am gadarnhau hynny. Ydy cyllideb y Senedd Ieuenctid mewn unrhyw ffordd yn mynd i fod ynghlwm wrth y £0.25 miliwn yma?
I was just going to raise a question in relation to engagement and the consultation process. Obviously, you have a role to help that happen, but do you feel as if the boards, across Wales, have done enough consultation with stakeholders and citizens? Who would like to begin?

Roeddwn i'n mynd i jest godi cwestiynau ynglŷn ag ymgysylltu ac ymgynghori. Yn amlwg, mae gennych chi rôl i helpu hynny i ddigwydd, ond a ydych chi'n teimlo bod y byrddau, ar draws Cymru rŵan, wedi gwneud digon o drafod efo rhanddeiliaid a dinasyddion? Pwy sy'n mynd i ddechrau?
Nid oes gennyf amser i ymhelaethu ar ein brwdfrydedd am gynllun adneuo, ond bydd gennym ddiddordeb mawr yn yr hyn sy'n digwydd gyda'r ymgynghoriad ar hyn o bryd. Efallai y bydd modd i'r Gweinidog ddweud rhywbeth am hynny wrth gloi. A, hefyd, sut y bydd y cynllun peilot yn cael ei gynnal - byddwn yn gwerthfawrogi pe byddai hi'n rhoi mwy o fanylion neu yn ysgrifennu ataf i am hynny. Eto, os ydyw hi'n ffordd gadarn a defnyddiol i lwybro ynddi, yna fe fyddwn yn hapus o weld hynny, ond, ar y funud, fe wnaeth hyn ymddangos yn ddisymwth tra bod ymgynghoriad cyffredinol yn mynd rhagddo beth bynnag. Er hynny, rwyf yn awyddus i orffen ar nodyn brwdfrydig a dweud y bu cynnydd gwirioneddol yma. Mae'n braf i weld Cymru yn arwain y ffordd mewn rhai meysydd, ac rwy'n credu, fel gwrthblaid gyfrifol, y dylem gydnabod arfer da pan mae i'w weld.

I don't have time to elaborate our enthusiasm for a deposit scheme, but we will be very interested in what's happening now with the consultation. Perhaps the Minister is going to be able to say something about that in the wind-up. And, also, how the pilot scheme's going to be conducted - I'd appreciate it if she'd give more details or write to me on that. Again, if it's a robust and useful way forward, then we'll be happy to see that, but, at the minute, it kind of has popped out of thin air when there was a general consultation going on anyway. However, I want to end on an enthusiastic note and say there's been real progress here. It's nice to see Wales as a leader in some areas, and I think, as a responsible opposition, we should acknowledge good practice where we see it.
