Weinidog, yn ddiweddar, lansiodd Comisiynydd y Gymraeg ymgyrch i godi ymwybyddiaeth o'r angen i ddatblygu gweithlu dwyieithog ymhellach yn y GIG yng Nghymru. Rhybuddiodd fod cleifion sy'n siarad Cymraeg yn dioddef ac y gallant wynebu risg, hyd yn oed, os na allant gyfathrebu â gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Dengys ymchwil ryngwladol fod pobl â dementia yn colli'r gallu i gyfathrebu yn eu hail iaith ar ôl peth amser neu pan fyddant yn hŷn. Weinidog, pa gamau rydych yn eu cymryd i sicrhau bod gwasanaethau gofal iechyd yn cael eu cynllunio fel y gall cleifion dderbyn triniaeth a gofal drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg neu eu hiaith eu hunain? Diolch.

Minister, the Welsh Language Commissioner recently launched a campaign to raise awareness of the need for further development of a bilingual workforce in the NHS in Wales. He warned that Welsh-speaking patients are suffering and may even be put at risk if they cannot communicate with health professionals through the medium of Welsh. International research shows that people with dementia lose the ability to communicate in their second language after some time or later in age. Minister, what action are you taking to ensure that healthcare services are designed so that patients can receive treatment and care through the medium of Welsh or their own language? Thank you.

Brif Weinidog, yn ddiweddar mae eich Llywodraeth chi unwaith eto wedi penderfynu peidio â blaenoriaethu unrhyw orsafoedd trenau yn sir Benfro, er gwaethaf bod rhai gorsafoedd, fel gorsaf Aberdaugleddau er enghraifft, angen gwelliant sylweddol. Nawr, rydw i'n gwerthfawrogi, pan fyddwch chi fel Llywodraeth yn buddsoddi arian mewn prosiectau rheilffyrdd, y byddwch chi'n gwneud hyn gyda rhanddeiliaid fel Network Rail, Arriva Trains ac ati, ond i ystyried eich bod chi'n gwario arian sylweddol, a allech chi ddweud wrthym ni beth ydych chi'n ei wneud i sicrhau bod unrhyw arian gan Lywodraeth Cymru sy'n ariannu gwelliannau yn cael ei ddosbarthu'n deg, fel bod pob rhan o Gymru o leiaf yn cael ei ystyried?

First Minister, your Government has recently decided, once again, not to prioritise any train stations in Pembrokeshire, despite the fact that certain stations, such as Milford Haven station, do need significant improvements. Now, I appreciate that when you as a Government invest money in rail projects, you will do this with stakeholders such as Network Rail, Arriva Trains and so on, but given that you are spending significant amounts of money, can you tell us what you're doing to ensure that any Welsh Government funding that funds improvements is distributed fairly, so that all parts of Wales are taken into account?

Ac os edrychwch ar yr heriau sy'n bodoli ledled y Deyrnas Unedig - [ Torri ar draws.]

And if you look at the challenges that exist right across the United Kingdom - [ Interruption.]

Rydym ni'n symud ymlaen nawr, felly, at eitem 9, y cynnig o dan y Rheolau Sefydlog i wahardd y cyhoedd o'r cyfarfod ar gyfer y busnes a ganlyn, sef eitem 10, i drafod yr hyn rydym ni newydd glywed o ran tystiolaeth heddiw. Iawn? Hapus ac yn llawen? Diolch.

Moving on now to item 9, a motion under Standing Orders to resolve to exclude the public from the meeting for the following business, namely item 10, to consider the evidence that we've just heard. Is everyone content and happy? Thanks.

Mae ymateb y Gweinidog yn ymddangos yn dra gwahanol i'r rhai rwy'n cofio eu cael gan ei rhagflaenwyr ar bynciau tebyg, ond nid yw eu hareithiau ynghylch awgrymiadau fod mwy yn well yn gyffredinol yn rhai sydd wedi arwain at wneud i gynghorau, neu gynghorwyr o leiaf, fod eisiau uno. Tybed a yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn gallu cynnig amcangyfrif neu ryw ddadansoddiad neu rywbeth i gynorthwyo gyda'r costau sefydlog o redeg cyngor, o gofio bod gennym nifer o gynghorau bach iawn sydd â threthi cyngor uchel iawn?

The Minister's response seems significantly different from those I recall from her predecessors on similar subjects, but their speeches about suggestions that bigger is better in general are not ones that have led to councils, or councillors at least, wanting to merge. I just wonder, is Welsh Government not able to offer an estimate or some analysis or something to assist in what are the fixed costs of running a council, given that we have a number of really very small councils with significantly high council taxes?
