For a nation that's often called a community of communities, the lack of rights for community groups here beggars belief. Local gardens and parks, allotments and urban farms increase the value of an area, socially and economically. Community assets have been, and will continue to be, one of the most effective ways of strengthening community spirit, of facilitating collaboration and of fostering that feeling of belonging.

Am wlad sy'n aml yn cael ei galw yn gymuned o gymunedau, mae diffyg hawliau i grwpiau cymunedol yma yn anhygoel. Mae gerddi a pharciau lleol, rhandiroedd a ffermydd trefol yn cynyddu gwerth ardal yn fawr, yn gymdeithasol ac yn economaidd. Mae asedau cymunedol wedi bod, a byddant yn parhau i fod, un o'r ffyrdd mwyaf effeithiol o gryfhau ysbryd cymunedol, o feithrin cydweithrediad ac o greu'r ymdeimlad o berthyn.

Thank you, Presiding Officer. Cabinet Secretary, infrastructure projects have too often been delayed by short-term political considerations, and this has often led to spiralling costs and the cancellation of projects altogether. In addition, where high levels of uncertainty hang above infrastructure schemes, potentially, private sector investors are often deterred from providing financial backing for these kinds of projects. When infrastructure is planned and delivered within the context of a secure, credible and long-term view, these projects often secure a greater level of private sector interest and investment. So, can I ask you, perhaps in the light of recent events as well, to reconsider putting the national infrastructure commission on a statutory footing? I would also suggest that it will be a missed opportunity for you not to do that. I think what the Government needs to do is to demonstrate a genuine commitment to creating a stable and long-term approach to infrastructure development in Wales.

Diolch, Llywydd. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae prosiectau seilwaith wedi cael eu gohirio'n rhy aml gan ystyriaethau gwleidyddol tymor byr, ac mae hyn yn aml wedi arwain at gostau cynyddol a chanslo prosiectau yn gyfan gwbl. Yn ogystal, pan fo lefelau uchel o ansicrwydd ynghlwm wrth gynlluniau seilwaith, o bosibl, yn aml nid yw buddsoddwyr sector preifat yn awyddus i ddarparu cefnogaeth ariannol ar gyfer y mathau hyn o brosiectau. Pan fo'r seilwaith wedi'i gynllunio a'i ddarparu yng nghyd-destun gweledigaeth gadarn, gredadwy a hirdymor, mae'r prosiectau hyn yn aml yn denu lefel uwch o ddiddordeb a buddsoddiad sector preifat. Felly, a gaf fi ofyn, efallai yng ngoleuni digwyddiadau diweddar hefyd, i chi ailystyried rhoi'r comisiwn seilwaith cenedlaethol ar sail statudol? Byddwn hefyd yn awgrymu y byddech yn colli cyfle drwy beidio â gwneud hynny. Credaf mai'r hyn sydd angen i'r Llywodraeth ei wneud yw dangos ymrwymiad gwirioneddol i greu dull sefydlog a hirdymor o ddatblygu seilwaith yng Nghymru.

Thank you for your answers, Minister. There's very little I can add actually to the excellent points that have just been made by Mike Hedges in his question, other than to reiterate some of those issues. As you said, the health risks of loneliness and isolation were there prior to the pandemic. So, in many ways, those issues have been exacerbated by the pandemic, and it's not just for older people, it seems to be across a wider section of society. So, as we emerge from this difficult time, and we are seeing this reality for people who haven't previously experienced it, what strategy are you developing to help people suffering from mental health issues, which we know are on the increase, and also, specifically, to tackle this loneliness aspect of those issues?

Diolch am eich atebion, Weinidog. Ychydig iawn y gallaf ei ychwanegu at y pwyntiau rhagorol sydd newydd gael eu gwneud gan Mike Hedges yn ei gwestiwn, heblaw am ailadrodd rhai o'r materion hynny. Fel y dywedasoch, roedd y peryglon i iechyd a ddeilliai o deimlo'n unig ac yn ynysig yn bodoli cyn y pandemig. Felly, mewn sawl ffordd, mae'r pandemig wedi gwaethygu'r problemau hynny, ac nid i bobl hŷn yn unig, ond ar draws rhan ehangach o'r gymdeithas yn ôl pob golwg. Felly, wrth inni ddod drwy'r cyfnod anodd hwn, a gweld y realiti hwn i bobl nad ydynt wedi'i brofi o'r blaen, pa strategaeth rydych yn ei datblygu i helpu pobl sy'n dioddef problemau iechyd meddwl, gan y gwyddom fod hynny ar gynnydd, a hefyd, yn benodol, i fynd i'r afael ag elfen unigrwydd y problemau hynny?

Is there any hope that there will be any movement on that, or will this concordat remain unsigned?

Ac oes gobaith bod yna symud ar y mater yna, neu fydd y concordat yma yn aros heb ei lofnodi?

Thank you, John Griffiths, for highlighting that report. As you'll be aware, the First Minister has asked every member of the Cabinet to take responsibility for one of the cross-cutting areas of Government, to ensure that we are maximising all of the work that we do across different departments. I was given the role of taking on the employability and skills agenda as part of that cross-cutting work, so I'll certainly be really interested in receiving a copy of ColegauCymru's report to help inform our thinking as we develop that, and I'll explore as well what might be the best way to update on the work being done on skills.

Diolch, John Griffiths, am dynnu sylw at yr adroddiad hwnnw. Fel y gwyddoch chi, mae Prif Weinidog Cymru wedi gofyn i bob aelod o'r Cabinet ysgwyddo cyfrifoldeb dros un o feysydd trawsbynciol y Llywodraeth, er mwyn sicrhau ein bod yn gwneud y gorau o'r holl waith a wnawn ni ar draws gwahanol adrannau. Cefais y swyddogaeth o ymgymryd â'r agenda cyflogadwyedd a sgiliau yn rhan o'r gwaith trawsbynciol hwnnw, felly, yn sicr byddai gennyf ddiddordeb mawr mewn cael copi o adroddiad ColegauCymru i helpu i lywio ein syniadau wrth inni ddatblygu hynny, a byddaf yn ymchwilio hefyd i'r hyn efallai yw'r ffordd orau o roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am y gwaith sy'n cael ei wneud ar sgiliau.
