English: As I'm sure you know, emergency teams are working in my area, working extremely hard to extinguish fires that have been caused by the very dry weather. Carmel, Bethesda and Bangor Mountain have been affected, with at least 45 families having to leave their homes. I am extremely grateful to the firefighters and the other emergency services, as well as the communities themselves who have come together to support those who have been affected by these fires. So, can I ask what connection has there been between the Government and local services, and are you confident that they have sufficient resources in order to deal with this crisis in Arfon and elsewhere in Wales? Turning to local government reform, a few months ago we learned through a blog from the Cabinet Secretary for local government that he was going to proceed with new proposals for the reorganisation of local government, putting aside the proposals in the predecessor Minister's Green Paper on regional collaboration. On Friday, I learned from a tweet from a journalist at the WLGA conference in Llandudno that the Cabinet Secretary for local government was now happy to give up on his reorganisation map, which will come as no surprise to any of us. But with such important statements affecting the way public services are run and delivered for the future, do you not think that we need to think carefully as to whether these announcements should be made on social media? Is that the appropriate means of conveying major policy changes such as these, without a formal written statement to Assembly Members? To me, that undermines the credibility of the Welsh Government, and also the credibility of the Assembly as a whole. So, I would like two statements: one noting the way forward - what next for local government, and what next for the reorganisation - but also I'd like to know what directives there are for Ministers as they present information that is of national significance to the National Assembly.
Welsh: Fel y gwyddoch chi, mae'n siŵr, mae timau argyfwng wrthi yn fy ardal i ac yn gweithio'n galed iawn er mwyn diffodd tanau sydd wedi cael eu hachosi gan y tywydd sych. Mae Carmel, Bethesda a Mynydd Bangor wedi cael eu heffeithio, efo o leiaf 45 o deuluoedd wedi gorfod gadael eu cartrefi, ac rydw i yn hynod ddiolchgar i'r diffoddwyr tân, y gwasanaethau argyfwng eraill, a hefyd y cymunedau eu hunain sydd wedi dod ynghyd er mwyn cefnogi'r rheini sydd wedi eu heffeithio. Felly, a gaf i ofyn pa gysylltiad sydd yna rhwng y Llywodraeth a'r gwasanaethau lleol, ac a ydych chi'n hyderus bod ganddyn nhw adnoddau digonol er mwyn delio efo'r argyfwng hwn yn Arfon ac mewn rhannau eraill o Gymru? A throi at fater diwygio llywodraeth leol, ychydig fisoedd yn ôl, mi gawsom ni wybod mewn blog gan yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet dros lywodraeth leol ei fod o'n mynd i symud ymlaen efo cynlluniau newydd ar gyfer ad-drefnu llywodraeth leol, gan roi heibio'r cynigion a oedd ym Mhapur Gwyn y Gweinidog blaenorol ar gydweithio rhanbarthol. Ddydd Gwener, mi ges i wybod drwy drydariad gan newyddiadurwr o gynhadledd y WLGA yn Llandudno bod yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet dros lywodraeth leol rŵan yn hapus i roi'r ffidil yn y to efo'i fap ad-drefnu llywodraeth leol, sydd ddim yn syndod i neb ohonom ni, nid ydw i'n meddwl. Ond efo datganiadau mor bwysig â hyn, sydd yn effeithio'r ffordd y mae gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn cael eu rhedeg yn y dyfodol, onid ydych chi'n meddwl bod angen meddwl o ddifri ai cyhoeddi ar wefannau cymdeithasol ydy'r ffordd briodol o gyhoeddi newidiadau polisi mawr fel hyn, heb ddatganiad ysgrifenedig ffurfiol i Aelodau Cynulliad? Mae hynny, i mi, yn tanseilio hygrededd Llywodraeth Cymru, a hefyd hygrededd y Cynulliad cyfan. Felly, buaswn i'n licio cael dau ddatganiad: un yn nodi beth ydy'r ffordd ymlaen rŵan - beth nesaf i lywodraeth leol, beth nesaf ar gyfer ad-drefnu - ond hefyd buaswn i'n hoffi gwybod pa gyfarwyddiadau sydd yna i Weinidogion wrth iddyn nhw gyflwyno gwybodaeth sydd efo arwyddocâd cenedlaethol i'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yma.
