English: Diolch. Thank you, Presiding Officer. I'm pleased to contribute to this debate today and to move the amendment in the name of Paul Davies. It's not an identical amendment to last year's draft budget, Cabinet Secretary - I did actually change the year. [Laughter.] Some of the problems that that amendment addressed are still there, but it is a recent amendment. Can I concur with many of the comments made by the Chair of the Finance Committee? We appreciate the difficulty that the timing of the autumn statement has caused for the Cabinet Secretary and his team. It has also caused headaches for the Finance Committee, as the Chair has alluded to, but these are headaches that we have got used to over recent years. On the bright side, the autumn statement will deliver an extra £436 million, thereabouts, of capital funding between 2016 and 2021 on capital projects as a result of extra spending on transport in England - infrastructure in England. We all know we need to invest in our infrastructure to grow our economy, so this additional funding is to be welcomed. Recommendation 1 of the Finance Committee report recommends that: 'In future years the draft budgetshould clearly demonstrate how the programme for government has informed and driven the budget setting process'. As things stand, you have to say that those links are simply not there. As for the integration with future generations legislation, well, don't even go there. There are very real concerns about how that piece of legislation is going to pull its weight and these were voiced on the committee. At the end of the day, it isn't just about legislation and budgeting. We need to see real sustainable results on the ground and all our efforts should be geared towards that. As with previous draft budgets that have been brought forward in this Chamber, many Members are prone to lambasting the UK Government cuts - and they are tough; there is no getting away from that. But, I think that, too often, criticism is made in this Chamber about those cuts without sufficient weight being given to why the cuts were originally considered necessary and, indeed, the huge level of borrowing that the previous Government - and, indeed, the current one - was left with, which had to be dealt with. The previous finance Secretary here has herself admitted that borrowing had to be dealt with. Now, Government is all about priorities and making do within the constraints set, but as the Cabinet Secretary has mentioned, those constraints are set to be relaxed; this budget will be the last to cover a period in which the Welsh Government does not have tax powers or significant borrowing powers. Given that the devolution of tax is now a little over a year away, we might have expected some recognition of this and an indication of how tax will be used as a tool to support the programme for government. The fact that we haven't had that, or an indication of that, is, I think, symptomatic of a deeper issue surrounding forward planning and the problems associated with developing multi-year budgets. I appreciate that here, it's not just a question of the Welsh Government planning better for the future. The UK as a whole needs to do that as well. We need a fiscal framework. I know the Cabinet Secretary shares these views; other parties do, as well. It would be easier for the Welsh Government to plan if settlements from the Treasury were better insulated against financial shocks, particularly with the devolution of tax powers. Future reductions in the block grant must be properly indexed and appropriate. We can't afford to get this wrong. Turning to the largest part of the draft budget, the health budget is indeed getting an injection of resourcing, and whilst we welcome any extra resources for the NHS, we should not forget that we are still playing catch-up from the decisions not to protect the health budget in real terms between 2011 and 2016, at a time when Barnett consequentials were coming to Wales as a result of the UK Government's protection of the English budget. I know that many AMs here don't like us talking about the previous Assembly's real-terms cuts to the health budget, but I do think that we need to take a balanced view of this. I'm prepared to take a balanced view of this budget, if other Members are as well. Whilst we welcome the move towards a new treatment fund - that is welcomed - I think it's a shame that the Government didn't heed Welsh Conservative calls for a cancer treatment fund all those years ago when our constituents were calling for equity with England and tens of thousands of people across Wales were signing petitions registering their concerns -
Welsh: Diolch. Diolch i chi, Lywydd. Rwy'n falch o gyfrannu at y ddadl hon heddiw ac i gynnig y gwelliant yn enw Paul Davies. Nid yw'n welliant sydd union yr un fath â'r gwelliant i gyllideb ddrafft y llynedd, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet - fe wnes i newid y flwyddyn. [Chwerthin.] Mae rhai o'r problemau yr aeth y gwelliant hwnnw i'r afael â nhw yn dal i fodoli, ond mae'n welliant diweddar. A gaf i gytuno â llawer o'r sylwadau a wnaed gan Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Cyllid? Rydym ni'n gwerthfawrogi'r anhawster y mae amseriad datganiad yr hydref wedi'i achosi i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet a'i dîm. Mae hefyd wedi achosi anawsterau i'r Pwyllgor Cyllid, fel y mae'r Cadeirydd wedi crybwyll, ond mae'r rhain yn anawsterau yr ydym wedi dod i arfer â nhw dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Ond ar y llaw arall, bydd datganiad yr hydref yn cyflwyno oddeutu £436 miliwn yn ychwanegol, o gyllid cyfalaf rhwng 2016 a 2021 ar gyfer prosiectau cyfalaf o ganlyniad i wariant ychwanegol ar drafnidiaeth yn Lloegr - seilwaith yn Lloegr. Rydym i gyd yn gwybod bod angen i ni fuddsoddi yn ein seilwaith i dyfu ein heconomi, felly croesewir yr arian ychwanegol hwn. Mae argymhelliad 1 yn adroddiad y Pwyllgor Cyllid yn argymell: Yn y dyfodol, dylai'r gyllideb ddrafft ddangos yn glir sut y mae'r rhaglen lywodraethu wedi llywio a sbarduno'r broses o osod y gyllideb. Fel y mae hi, mae'n rhaid i chi ddweud yn syml nad yw'r cysylltiadau hynny'n bodoli. O ran integreiddio â deddfwriaeth cenedlaethau'r dyfodol, wel, peidiwch â sôn. Ceir pryderon gwirioneddol am y ffordd y bydd y darn hwnnw o ddeddfwriaeth yn tynnu'i bwysau a lleiswyd y rhain gan y pwyllgor. Yn y pen draw, nid yw'n ymwneud â deddfwriaeth a chyllidebu yn unig. Mae angen inni weld canlyniadau cynaliadwy gwirioneddol ar lawr gwlad, a dylem ni ganolbwyntio ein holl ymdrechion ar gyflawni hynny. Fel gyda chyllidebau drafft blaenorol sydd wedi'u cyflwyno i'r Siambr hon, mae llawer o Aelodau yn dueddol o lambastio toriadau Llywodraeth y DU - a maen nhw'n galed; nid oes dim dianc rhag hynny. Ond, rwy'n credu, yn rhy aml, y caiff y toriadau hynny eu beirniadu yn y Siambr hon heb fod digon o bwyslais yn cael ei roi ar pam yr ystyrir y toriadau hynny yn angenrheidiol yn y lle cyntaf ac, yn wir, y lefel enfawr o fenthyca a adawyd i'r Llywodraeth flaenorol - ac, yn wir, yr un presennol - fynd i'r afael â hi. Mae'r Ysgrifennydd cyllid blaenorol wedi cyfaddef ei hun fod yn rhaid ymdrin â'r benthyca hynny. Nawr, mae Llywodraethu yn ymwneud â blaenoriaethau a gwneud y gorau o bethau o fewn y cyfyngiadau a osodwyd, ond fel y mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi crybwyll, mae disgwyl i'r cyfyngiadau hynny gael eu llacio; y gyllideb hon fydd yr olaf i gwmpasu cyfnod lle nad oes gan Lywodraeth Cymru bwerau codi trethi na phwerau benthyca sylweddol. O ystyried nad yw datganoli treth ond ychydig dros flwyddyn i ffwrdd erbyn hyn, mae'n bosibl y byddem ni wedi disgwyl rhywfaint o gydnabyddiaeth o hyn ac arwydd o sut y bydd y dreth yn cael ei defnyddio fel arf i gefnogi'r rhaglen lywodraethu. Mae'r ffaith na chawsom hynny, nac arwydd o hynny, rwy'n credu, yn nodweddiadol o fater dyfnach yn ymwneud â blaengynllunio a'r problemau sy'n gysylltiedig â datblygu cyllidebau dros sawl blwyddyn. Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi nad dim ond cwestiwn o Lywodraeth Cymru'n cynllunio'n well ar gyfer y dyfodol sydd gennym yma. Mae angen i'r DU gyfan wneud hynny hefyd. Mae angen fframwaith cyllidol arnom. Gwn fod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn rhannu'r safbwyntiau hyn; mae pleidiau eraill yn eu rhannu, hefyd. Byddai'n haws i Lywodraeth Cymru gynllunio pe byddai setliadau gan y Trysorlys wedi'u diogelu'n well yn erbyn sefyllfaoedd ariannol annisgwyl, yn enwedig â phwerau treth yn cael eu datganoli. Mae'n rhaid i ostyngiadau yn y grant bloc yn y dyfodol gael eu mynegeio'n gywir ac yn briodol. Ni allwn ni fforddio i gael hyn yn anghywir. Gan droi at ran fwyaf y gyllideb ddrafft, mae'r gyllideb iechyd yn wir yn cael rhagor o adnoddau, ac er ein bod ni'n croesawu unrhyw adnoddau ychwanegol ar gyfer y GIG, ni ddylem anghofio ein bod ni ar ei hôl hi o ganlyniad i'r penderfyniadau i beidio ag amddiffyn y gyllideb iechyd mewn termau real rhwng 2011 a 2016, ar adeg pan oedd symiau canlyniadol Barnett yn dod i Gymru o ganlyniad i Lywodraeth y DU yn amddiffyn cyllideb Lloegr. Gwn nad yw llawer o ACau yma ddim yn hoffi ein bod ni'n siarad am doriadau termau real y Cynulliad blaenorol i'r gyllideb iechyd, ond rwy'n credu bod angen i ni ystyried hyn mewn ffordd gytbwys. Rwy'n barod i ystyried y gyllideb hon mewn ffordd gytbwys, os yw Aelodau eraill yn barod i wneud hynny hefyd. Er ein bod ni'n croesawu'r symud i gyfeiriad defnyddio cronfa driniaethau newydd - croesewir hynny - rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n drueni na wrandawodd y Llywodraeth ar alwadau'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig am gronfa triniaethau canser yr holl flynyddoedd hynny'n ôl pan oedd ein hetholwyr yn galw am degwch â Lloegr a degau o filoedd o bobl ledled Cymru yn arwyddo deisebau yn nodi eu pryderon -
