It's your prerogative, of course, to prioritise expenditure. I believe that health and care staff are a priority, and I think that the past year has shown that. What the RCN has said is that the last year has underlined problems that already existed: work pressures, low morale and the lack of staff, of course. The Welsh Government doesn't publish figures on empty posts in terms of nursing. Estimates suggest that it could be around 1,600. A salary increase would certainly help with the recruitment and retention of staff. The health Minister, in an interview on Sunday, wasn't willing to confirm whether the Government would be implementing the recommendations of the independent group. She was asked whether it would be implemented if the recommendation was significantly above 1 per cent. Her response was:

Eich braint chi, wrth gwrs, ydy cael blaenoriaethu gwariant. Dwi'n digwydd meddwl bod staff iechyd a gofal yn flaenoriaeth. Dwi'n meddwl bod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf wedi dangos hynny. Fel mae'r RCN yn dweud ei hun, beth mae'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf wedi gwneud ydy tanlinellu'r problemau a oedd yno yn barod: pwysau gwaith, morâl isel a phrinder staff hefyd. Dydy Llywodraeth Cymru ddim yn cyhoeddi ffigurau ar swyddi gwag nyrsio. Mae amcangyfrifon yn awgrymu y gallai fo fod yn rhyw 1,600. Buasai codiad cyflog yn sicr yn helpu i recriwtio a chadw staff. Doedd y Gweinidog iechyd, mewn cyfweliad ddydd Sul, ddim yn fodlon cadarnhau a fyddai'r Llywodraeth yn gweithredu argymhellion y grŵp annibynnol. Mi ofynnwyd iddi hi a fyddai fo'n cael ei weithredu os byddai'r argymhelliad yn sylweddol uwch nag 1 y cant, er enghraifft. Ei hymateb hi oedd:

The Minister is waiting to speak without interventions, and I would like to listen to the Minister. I've asked once already this afternoon. All Members - all Members - need to ensure that I'm able to hear the Minister.

Mae'r Gweinidog yn aros i siarad heb ymyriadau, a hoffwn wrando ar y Gweinidog. Rwyf wedi gofyn unwaith yn barod y prynhawn yma. Mae angen i bob Aelod - pob Aelod - sicrhau fy mod i'n gallu clywed y Gweinidog.

I am talking about a strategic plan across Government - an overview across Government with clear targets on tackling poverty. Now, I recognise that there's a child poverty strategy but, of course, children are part of families and we need a strategy to tackle poverty that is over and above that. There isn't one, and it's scandalous that there isn't one.

Sôn ydw i am gynllun strategol ar draws Llywodraeth - trosolwg efo targedau clir ynglŷn a thaclo tlodi. Rwy'n cydnabod bod yna strategaeth taclo tlodi plant ond, wrth gwrs, mae plant yn rhan o deuluoedd ac mae'n rhaid cael strategaeth taclo tlodi sydd uwchben hynny. Ac nid oes yna un, ac mae'n sgandal o beth nad oes yna un.

Moving on now to another area and some of the costs that have been estimated and identified, the RIA does include estimates of costs in several areas including: raising awareness; designing new registration forms; and piloting those for the Electoral Commission. Could you talk about the contribution you made to the work of preparing and creating those estimates for those costs?

Os gwnawn ni symud ymlaen at faes arall a rhai o'r costau sydd wedi cael eu hamcangyfrif a'u nodi, mae'r asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol yn cynnwys amcangyfrifon o gostau yn ymwneud â sawl maes, yn cynnwys: codi ymwybyddiaeth; dylunio ffurflenni cofrestru newydd; treialu'r ffurflenni hynny ar ran y Comisiwn Etholiadol. Allwch chi sôn wrthym ni am y cyfraniad wnaethoch chi at y gwaith o baratoi a llunio'r amcangyfrifon ar gyfer y costau hynny?
