English: Well, thank you for raising that very important point. Community safety is, of course, a top priority for the Government. The Member is obviously aware that policing itself isn't devolved, despite the various representations that have been made to Westminster on that point. The Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services announced the provisional police settlement on 19 December 2017, and, as in recent years, the Home Office has again decided to overlay its needs-based formula with a floor mechanism. This ensures that all police forces in England and Wales can expect to receive a cash-flat settlement for 2018-19 when compared on a like-for-like basis with 2017-18. The total support for police forces in Wales will be £349.9 million. Within this, the Welsh Government's contribution to police funding for 2018-19 is £140.9 million. We've also agreed to protect the budget for the 500 additional community support officers for 2018-19. That's £16.8 million earmarked in the budget for next year for the continued delivery of that important commitment. The Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services is very committed to working with the police and crime commissioners and the chief constables to ensure that the reductions are managed in ways that minimise the impact on community safety in Wales. He, along with his officials, will be very happy to meet with all of the policing bodies to discuss finance and other matters to ensure that the important issues around community safety are properly covered off. It's been very difficult to have some of these decisions, with pressures on budgets. I've seen some very good things, in my brief time in this portfolio, around some of the multi-agency work that the police have done in order to maximise the resource they have on the ground, But the Member is right that it is a most important matter, and I'm sure we can have a debate in the very near future about the importance of that matter to Wales.
Welsh: Wel, diolch am godi'r pwynt pwysig iawn yna. Mae diogelwch cymunedol, wrth gwrs, yn brif flaenoriaeth i'r Llywodraeth. Mae'r Aelod yn amlwg yn ymwybodol nad yw plismona yn fater sydd wedi'i ddatganoli, er gwaethaf y sylwadau amrywiol sydd wedi'u gwneud i San Steffan ar y pwynt hwnnw. Cyhoeddodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Lywodraeth Leol a Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus setliad dros dro yr heddlu ar 19 Rhagfyr 2017, ac, yn debyg i flynyddoedd diweddar, mae'r Swyddfa Gartref wedi penderfynu eto i droshaenu ei fformiwla sy'n seiliedig ar anghenion â mecanwaith gwaelodol. Mae hyn yn sicrhau y gall yr holl heddlu yng Nghymru a Lloegr ddisgwyl cael setliad arian gwastad ar gyfer 2018-19 o'i gymharu ar sail gyfatebol â 2017-18. Bydd cyfanswm y cymorth ar gyfer yr heddlu yng Nghymru yn £349.9 miliwn. O fewn y swm hwn, cyfraniad Llywodraeth Cymru i gyllid yr heddlu ar gyfer 2018-19 yw £140.9 miliwn. Rydym wedi cytuno hefyd i amddiffyn y gyllideb ar gyfer y 500 o swyddogion cymorth cymunedol ychwanegol ar gyfer 2018-19. Mae hynny'n £16.8 miliwn sydd wedi'i glustnodi yn y gyllideb ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf i barhau i ddarparu'r ymrwymiad pwysig hwnnw. Mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Lywodraeth Leol a Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus yn ymrwymedig iawn i weithio gyda'r heddlu a chomisiynwyr troseddu a'r prif gwnstabliaid i sicrhau bod y toriadau yn cael eu rheoli mewn ffyrdd sy'n lleihau'r effaith ar ddiogelwch cymunedol yng Nghymru. Bydd ef, ynghyd â'i swyddogion, yn fodlon iawn i gyfarfod â'r holl gyrff plismona i drafod cyllid a materion eraill i sicrhau bod y materion pwysig sy'n ymwneud â diogelwch cymunedol yn cael eu cynnwys yn briodol. Mae wedi bod yn anodd iawn gwneud rhai o'r penderfyniadau hyn, gan gofio'r pwysau ar gyllidebau. Rwyf wedi gweld rhai pethau da iawn, yn ystod fy nghyfnod byr yn y portffolio hwn, o ran peth o'r gwaith aml-asiantaeth y mae'r heddlu wedi'i gyflawni er mwyn manteisio i'r eithaf ar yr adnoddau sydd ganddynt ar lawr gwlad, ond mae'r Aelod yn iawn, mae'n fater pwysig, ac rwy'n siŵr y gallwn ni gael dadl yn y dyfodol agos iawn ynglŷn â phwysigrwydd y mater hwnnw i Gymru.
