English: Thank you. Thanks to all contributors. As Darren Millar highlighted, a letter by local government leaders, signed by them all, warned that cuts to preventative services would be a false economy. As the chief exec of the Welsh Local Government Association told committee, there was an announcement of £30 million going into regional partnership boards, but that's in the NHS budget line. Why not make that £30 million preventative spend fund? Summarising the broader issues - . As Darren said, there are suspicions that the Cabinet Secretary is using underhand tactics to force council mergers and, as he said, the Welsh Government's 17-year-old local government funding formula is no longer fit for purpose. As a health professional, Dr Dai Lloyd highlighted the need to see more money spent on illness prevention in local government, and the need to allow GPs to refer to social services. Suzy Davies said that local authorities were close to not being able to run services safely, and that the Welsh Government can't continue to use austerity as an excuse. Mike Hedges provided a formulaic defence of an outdated formula. Rhun ap Iorwerth moved Plaid Cymru's amendments 2 and 3, which we will be supporting. He also noted that it's taken consequentials from the UK Government budget to persuade the Welsh Government to issue crumbs to local government. And, as he said, it's Labour's austerity. Mohammad Asghar referred to the humiliating u-turn performed by the Welsh Government thanks to extra funding from the UK Chancellor. Rhianon Passmore provided us with her usual shouty speech about the austerity inherited by the UK Government in 2010. Russell George highlighted the funding formula divide between urban and rural Wales and said that local authorities should be at the front of the queue for additional funding from the Chancellor. All we got from Cabinet Secretary Mr Bumble was the usual economic illiteracy, buck-passing and political chicanery. Of course, he referred to the impact on the economy if Labour votes down the Brexit deal negotiated between the UK Government and all 27 members of the EU. Currently, for every £1 spent by the UK Conservative Government on devolved matters, £1.20 is given to Wales. But Welsh council tax payers are bearing the brunt of poor Welsh Government decisions over almost two decades. The Cabinet Secretary again compared funding between England and Wales, claiming that councils there are worse off. But local government funding policy has diverged significantly since devolution: for example, direct funding for schools in England, not Wales, and business rates retention there, not here. It's impossible to make the percentage comparisons he keeps making. We also know that there is an overly bureaucratic, complex and outdated funding formula that's resulting in skewed local government finances. Therefore, on that note, I will finish by quoting a Labour-led county council in Wales, because last week, Flintshire County Council Labour-led, launched its #BacktheAsk campaign in full council and received unanimous support of all councillors of all parties to take, quote, the fight down to the local government department in Cardiff to get a fair share of national funds. I'm delighted to show my support for them and I'm grateful that people who live in the county of Flintshire, and Wrexham, and the other disadvantaged councils are now standing up to the bullies in Labour, in Cardiff, who will not listen, who have ceased to be accountable and who should go once and for all.
Welsh: Diolch. Diolch i bawb a gyfrannodd. Fel yr amlygodd Darren Millar, roedd llythyr gan arweinwyr llywodraeth leol, a lofnodwyd ganddyn nhw i gyd, yn rhybuddio y byddai toriadau i wasanaethau ataliol yn ddarbodaeth ffug. Fel y dywedodd Prif Weithredwr Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru wrth y pwyllgor, cafwyd cyhoeddiad bod £30 miliwn yn mynd i fyrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol, ond mae hynny yn llinell gyllideb y GIG. Pam na wnewch chi'r £30 miliwn hynny'n gronfa gwariant ataliol? Gan grynhoi'r materion ehangach - . Fel y dywedodd Darren, ceir amheuon bod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn defnyddio tactegau llechwraidd i orfodi cynghorau i uno ac, fel y dywedodd, ni yw'r fformiwla gyllido ar gyfer llywodraeth leol Llywodraeth Cymru sy'n 17 oed, yn addas i'r diben mwyach. Fel gweithiwr iechyd proffesiynol, roedd Dr Dai Lloyd yn tynnu sylw at yr angen i weld mwy o arian yn cael ei wario ar atal salwch mewn llywodraeth leol, a'r angen i ganiatáu i feddygon teulu atgyfeirio i'r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol. Dywedodd Suzy Davies fod awdurdodau lleol yn agos at beidio â gallu cynnal gwasanaethau yn ddiogel ac na all Llywodraeth Cymru barhau i ddefnyddio cyni fel esgus. Cyflwynodd Mike Hedges amddiffyniad fformiwläig o fformiwla hen ffasiwn. Cynigiodd Rhun ap Iorwerth welliannau Plaid Cymru 2 a 3, ac fe fyddwn ni'n eu cefnogi. Nododd hefyd ei bod hi wedi cymryd symiau canlyniadol gan Lywodraeth y DU i berswadio Llywodraeth Cymru i roi briwsion i lywodraeth leol. Ac, fel y dywedodd, cyni Llafur yw hyn. Cyfeiriodd Mohammad Asghar at y tro pedol gwaradwyddus a gyflawnodd Llywodraeth Cymru diolch i gyllid ychwanegol gan Ganghellor y DU. Cawsom yr araith arferol yn cael ei bloeddio gan Rhianon Passmore am y cyni a etifeddwyd gan Lywodraeth y DU yn 2010. Tynnodd Russell George sylw at y rhaniad yn y fformiwla gyllido rhwng ardaloedd trefol a gwledig Cymru a dywedodd y dylai awdurdodau lleol fod ar flaen y ciw ar gyfer cyllid ychwanegol oddi wrth y Canghellor. Y cwbl a gawsom ni gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet Mr Bumble oedd yr anllythrennedd economaidd arferol, taflu'r baich a'r dichell gwleidyddol. Wrth gwrs, cyfeiriodd at yr effaith ar yr economi pe byddai Llafur yn pleidleisio i wrthod y fargen Brexit a gafodd ei negodi rhwng Llywodraeth y DU a phob un o'r 27 o aelodau'r UE. Ar hyn o bryd, am bob £1 a gaiff ei gwario gan Lywodraeth Geidwadol y DU ar faterion datganoledig, rhoddir £1.20 i Gymru. Ond mae talwyr y dreth gyngor yng Nghymru yn dwyn baich penderfyniadau gwael Llywodraeth Cymru dros bron i ddau ddegawd. Roedd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet unwaith eto'n cymharu cyllid rhwng Cymru a Lloegr, gan honni bod cynghorau yno'n waeth eu byd. Ond mae polisi cyllido llywodraeth leol wedi ymwahanu'n sylweddol ers datganoli; er enghraifft, cyllid uniongyrchol ar gyfer ysgolion yn Lloegr, nid yng Nghymru, a chadw ardrethi busnes yno, nid yma. Mae'n amhosibl gwneud y cymariaethau canran y mae'n parhau i'w gwneud. Rydym ni hefyd yn gwybod bod gennym fformiwla gyllido gymhleth a hen ffasiwn, sy'n rhy fiwrocrataidd ac sy'n arwain at gyllid llywodraeth leol ar sgiw. Felly, ar y nodyn hwnnw, fe orffennaf i drwy ddyfynnu cyngor sir dan arweiniad Llafur yng Nghymru, oherwydd yr wythnos diwethaf, dan arweiniad Llafur fe lansiodd Cyngor Sir y Fflint ei ymgyrch #CefnogiGalw yn y cyngor llawn gyda phob cynghorydd ym mhob plaid yn cefnogi'n unfryd y bwriad o fynd, rwy'n dyfynnu, â'r frwydr i lawr i'r adran lywodraeth leol yng Nghaerdydd i gael cyfran deg o'r cyllid cenedlaethol. Rwy'n falch iawn o ddangos fy nghefnogaeth iddyn nhw ac rwy'n ddiolchgar bod y bobl sy'n byw yn sir y Fflint, a Wrecsam a'r cynghorau eraill dan anfantais erbyn hyn yn gwrthsefyll bwlis yn y Blaid Lafur yng Nghaerdydd, nad ydyn nhw'n gwrando, sydd wedi rhoi'r gorau i fod yn atebol ac y dylen nhw fynd unwaith ac am byth.
