English: I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that statement, which didn't actually say what he was going to do about it, however, which I hope he will now tell us. First of all, can he just clarify the situation? Because I think there could be some confusion, following the leader of the Conservative party's questions earlier on, that though the health boards have not been bailed out, his department has been bailed out to the tune of a similar amount of money. The supplementary budget that we passed a couple of weeks ago actually gives his department this money, not the health boards themselves, and therefore there has been a bail-out, in effect. And so, if there hasn't been any consequences for the health boards, we must ask ourselves, 'How can we achieve better financial planning going forward?' The First Minister mentioned the NHS finance Act, which was passed three years ago by this Assembly. When that Act was passed, the then Minister said and promised that we would get better financial planning, and went on to promise that it should result in better decision making and optimal solutions by local health boards. I don't think we can say we've had better financial planning or optimal solutions from health boards since the passing of that Act. Can he confirm that there's still a financial duty on health boards to not exceed the aggregate in each financial year, even taking a three-year planning model, and what consequences can there be for health boards in not meeting proper financial planning under the NHS finance Act? And isn't it time at least to consider not paying the allowances and payments to members of the health boards if they cannot bring themselves into line?
Welsh: Diolch i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am y datganiad hwn, nad oedd mewn gwirionedd yn dweud beth yr oedd yn mynd i'w wneud ynglŷn â'r mater. Fodd bynnag, rwyf yn gobeithio y bydd yn dweud wrthym yn awr. Yn gyntaf oll, a all roi goleuni ar y sefyllfa? Gan fy mod yn credu y gallai rhywfaint o ddryswch fod yn aros, yn dilyn cwestiynau arweinydd y blaid Geidwadol yn gynharach, oherwydd er nad yw'r byrddau iechyd wedi cael eu hachub yn ariannol, achubwyd croen ei adran ef hyd at swm tebyg o arian. Mae'r gyllideb atodol yr ydym wedi ei phasio rai wythnosau yn ôl yn rhoi'r arian hwn i'w adran ef mewn gwirionedd, nid i'r byrddau iechyd eu hunain, ac felly bu achub croen, i bob pwrpas. Ac felly, os nad oes unrhyw ganlyniadau wedi bod ar gyfer y byrddau iechyd, mae'n rhaid i ni ofyn i'n hunain, 'Sut mae cael gwell cynllunio ariannol i'r dyfodol?' Soniodd y Prif Weinidog am Ddeddf Cyllid y GIG, a basiwyd dair blynedd yn ôl gan y Cynulliad hwn. Pan gafodd y Ddeddf ei phasio, dywedodd ac addawodd y Gweinidog blaenorol y byddem yn gweld gwell cynllunio ariannol, ac aeth yn ei flaen i addo y dylai hynny arwain at wneud penderfyniadau gwell a'r datrysiadau gorau posibl gan fyrddau iechyd lleol. Nid wyf yn credu y gallwn ni ddweud ein bod wedi gweld gwell cynllunio ariannol neu'r datrysiadau gorau posibl gan fyrddau iechyd ers pasio'r Ddeddf honno. A all gadarnhau bod dyletswydd ariannol yn dal i fod ar fyrddau iechyd i beidio â mynd y tu hwnt i'r cyfanswm ym mhob blwyddyn ariannol, hyd yn oed wrth ystyried model tair blynedd o gynllunio, a pha ganlyniadau a all fod ar gyfer byrddau iechyd pe na bydden nhw yn diwallu anghenion cynllunio ariannol priodol o dan Ddeddf cyllid y GIG? Ac onid yw hi'n bryd ystyried o leiaf beidio â thalu lwfansau a thaliadau i aelodau o'r byrddau iechyd os na allan nhw ddod â'u hunain i drefn?
