English: Well, Llywydd, that is a major concern for not just the Welsh Government but all the partners that we have across Wales and who have worked with us so carefully, led very often by our colleague Huw Irranca-Davies, in order to devise a regional economic strategy for Wales that will make use of the replacement funds that we were told were guaranteed to be available to us. Now, I quoted the Welsh Affairs Select Committee, Llywydd. I do so because it has a Conservative majority and a Conservative Chair, from Wales, and this is what they said about it: 'The UK Government', they said, 'announced as far back as 2017 that it intended to replace EU funding with a Shared Prosperity Fundyet details remain scant on key aspects, including how much Wales will receive under the new arrangements, how it will be administered and to whom it will be targeted.' Its repeated promises of a consultation have failed to materialise, progress has been negligible, and it demonstrates a lack of priority. Well, that simply isn't good enough. These are major issues that matter in every part of Wales, including, as Dai Rees said, in his constituency. People in Wales are entitled to know that the promise that was made to them is going to be kept - not a penny less and not a power stolen. And that's what we will be holding the UK Government to account over.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, mae hynny'n bryder mawr nid yn unig i Lywodraeth Cymru ond i'r holl bartneriaid sydd gennym ni ledled Cymru ac sydd wedi gweithio gyda ni mor ofalus, dan arweiniad ein cyd-Aelod Huw Irranca-Davies yn aml iawn, i lunio strategaeth economaidd ranbarthol i Gymru a fydd yn defnyddio'r arian newydd y dywedwyd wrthym oedd yn sicr o fod ar gael i ni. Nawr, dyfynnais y Pwyllgor Dethol ar Faterion Cymreig, Llywydd. Rwy'n gwneud hynny oherwydd bod ganddo fwyafrif Ceidwadol a Chadeirydd Ceidwadol, o Gymru, a dyma a ddywedasant am hyn: Cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU, dywedasant, cyn belled yn ôl â 2017 ei bod yn bwriadu disodli cyllid yr UE gyda Chronfa Ffyniant Gyffredin ond mae'r manylion yn dal i fod yn brin am agweddau allweddol, gan gynnwys faint y bydd Cymru yn ei gael o dan y trefniadau newydd, sut y bydd yn cael ei gweinyddu ac at bwy y bydd yn cael ei thargedu. Mae ei haddewidion mynych o ymgynghoriad wedi methu â dod i'r amlwg, mae'r cynnydd wedi bod yn ddibwys, ac mae'n dangos diffyg blaenoriaeth. Wel, nid yw hynny'n ddigon da o gwbl. Mae'r rhain yn faterion pwysig sydd o bwys i bob rhan o Gymru, gan gynnwys, fel y dywedodd Dai Rees, ei etholaeth ef. Mae gan bobl yng Nghymru hawl i wybod bod yr addewid a wnaed iddyn nhw yn mynd i gael ei gadw - dim un geiniog yn llai a dim un grym wedi ei ddwyn. A dyna fyddwn ni'n dwyn Llywodraeth y DU i gyfrif yn ei gylch.
English: First Minister, I wonder if I could ask you about what can be learned from the Scottish example. EU funds have in the past been used to invest in infrastructure, as we know, and as Dave Rees has just alluded to. Do you share my view that our National Infrastructure Commission for Wales could not only learn some valuable lessons from the experiences in Scotland, where their commission is committed to being outward looking, forward thinking and innovative, but we could radically rethink our strategy to attract investment in Wales, as we move out of the pandemic and grow back greener - however you want to describe it - as there are ways to work differently in the future and make the most of the funds that we do have?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, tybed a gaf i eich holi am yr hyn y gellir ei ddysgu o enghraifft yr Alban. Mae cronfeydd yr UE wedi cael eu defnyddio yn y gorffennol i fuddsoddi mewn seilwaith, fel y gwyddom, ac fel y mae Dave Rees newydd gyfeirio ato. A ydych chi'n rhannu fy marn i y gallai ein Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru nid yn unig ddysgu gwersi gwerthfawr o'r profiadau yn yr Alban, lle mae eu comisiwn wedi ymrwymo i edrych tuag allan, i fod yn flaengar ac yn arloesol, ond gallem ninnau ailystyried ein strategaeth yn sylfaenol i ddenu buddsoddiad yng Nghymru, wrth i ni symud allan o'r pandemig a thyfu yn ôl yn wyrddach - sut bynnag yr hoffech chi ei ddisgrifio - gan fod ffyrdd o weithio yn wahanol yn y dyfodol a gwneud y mwyaf o'r arian sydd gennym ni?
English: Llywydd, I'm very happy always to learn from lessons elsewhere. Part of the huge benefit of being members of the European Union has been that it has allowed us to learn from the experience of other member states in the way that they have deployed European funding, as they have, in turn, learnt from Wales about some of the ways that we have done things here. And where there are good examples elsewhere inside the United Kingdom, then the Welsh Government is always open to learning from experiences that can help us to make the most of the funding that we have. The problem is we don't know the funding and we don't know how it's going to be used.
Welsh: Llywydd, rwy'n hapus iawn bob amser i ddysgu o wersi mewn mannau eraill. Rhan o'r fantais enfawr o fod yn aelodau o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd yw ei fod wedi caniatáu i ni ddysgu o brofiad aelod-wladwriaethau eraill yn y ffordd y maen nhw wedi defnyddio cyllid Ewropeaidd, fel y mae hwythau, yn eu tro, wedi dysgu gan Gymru am rai o'r ffyrdd yr ydym ni wedi gwneud pethau yma. A lle ceir enghreifftiau da mewn mannau eraill y tu mewn i'r Deyrnas Unedig, yna mae Llywodraeth Cymru bob amser yn agored i ddysgu o brofiadau a all ein helpu i wneud y mwyaf o'r cyllid sydd gennym ni. Y broblem yw nad ydym ni'n gwybod faint fydd y cyllid ac nad ydym ni'n gwybod sut y mae am gael ei ddefnyddio.
English: First Minister, many businesses in Wales felt that past EU structural funding programmes were held back by far too many rules and overly bureaucratic processes and, as a result, some programmes failed to deliver upon their stated aims, namely to raise the economic prosperity of Wales and our people. So, First Minister, what discussions have you had with the UK Government about ensuring that replacement structural funding programmes are flexible and responsive to the needs of Welsh businesses and the Welsh population?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, roedd llawer o fusnesau yng Nghymru yn teimlo bod rhaglenni cronfeydd strwythurol yr UE yn y gorffennol yn cael ei dal yn ôl gan lawer gormod o reolau a phrosesau rhy fiwrocrataidd ac, o ganlyniad, bod rhai rhaglenni wedi methu â chyflawni eu nodau datganedig, sef cynyddu ffyniant economaidd Cymru a'n pobl. Felly, Prif Weinidog, pa drafodaethau ydych chi wedi eu cael gyda Llywodraeth y DU ynghylch sicrhau bod rhaglenni cronfeydd strwythurol newydd yn hyblyg ac yn ymatebol i anghenion busnesau Cymru a phoblogaeth Cymru?
English: Well, Llywydd, it's one of the sadnesses that we've had almost no opportunities at all to have those conversations. My colleague Jeremy Miles, who leads for the Welsh Government on these matters, wrote to the Minister said to be responsible for the shared prosperity fund, back in October, asking for meetings with UK Government Ministers in order to be able to contribute some of our thinking and to take advantage of some of the flexibilities that could be there in the future. A meeting was never provided. We've had one meeting with the Secretary of State for Wales, who promises us further meetings once the Chancellor makes his statement on 25 November. But that's just not good enough. We want to have discussions before the announcement is made, not after it. In that case, we might be able to do some of the things that Caroline Jones was referring to, because I think we have always said that at the other side of the European Union there may be more flexibilities - we may be able to use the money differently geographically, we may be able to draw in other funds in a way that you can't within the European Union, we may be able to use money for purposes that the EU rules did not allow us to use the money for here in Wales. There are some opportunities here. We have identified them with our partners. We would like to have had an opportunity to share that with the UK Government and, despite asking for those opportunities, they have never come our way.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, un o'r agweddau trist yw nad ydym ni wedi cael bron unrhyw gyfleoedd o gwbl i gael y sgyrsiau hynny. Ysgrifennodd fy nghyd-Weinidog Jeremy Miles, sy'n arwain ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru ar y materion hyn, at y Gweinidog y dywedir ei fod yn gyfrifol am y gronfa ffyniant gyffredin, yn ôl ym mis Hydref, yn gofyn am gyfarfodydd gyda Gweinidogion Llywodraeth y DU er mwyn gallu cyfrannu rhai o'n syniadau ni a manteisio ar rai o'r agweddau hyblyg a allai fod yno yn y dyfodol. Ni threfnwyd unrhyw gyfarfod. Rydym ni wedi cael un cyfarfod gydag Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Cymru, sy'n addo cyfarfodydd pellach i ni ar ôl i'r Canghellor wneud ei ddatganiad ar 25 Tachwedd. Ond nid yw hynny'n ddigon da. Rydym ni eisiau cael trafodaethau cyn i'r cyhoeddiad gael ei wneud, nid ar ôl hynny. Os felly, efallai y gallem ni wneud rhai o'r pethau yr oedd Caroline Jones yn cyfeirio atyn nhw, oherwydd rwy'n credu ein bod ni wedi dweud erioed y gallai fod mwy o hyblygrwydd ar ochr arall yr Undeb Ewropeaidd - efallai y gallwn ni ddefnyddio'r arian yn wahanol yn ddaearyddol, efallai y gallwn ni ddefnyddio cyllid arall mewn ffordd na allwch chi yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, efallai y gallwn ni ddefnyddio arian at ddibenion nad oedd rheolau'r UE yn caniatáu i ni ddefnyddio'r arian ar eu cyfer yma yng Nghymru. Mae rhai cyfleoedd yn y fan yma. Rydym ni wedi eu nodi gyda'n partneriaid. Hoffem fod wedi cael cyfle i rannu hynny gyda Llywodraeth y DU ac, er i ni ofyn am y cyfleoedd hynny, nid ydyn nhw erioed wedi cael eu cynnig i ni.
English: Questions now from the party leaders. The leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Paul Davies.
Welsh: Cwestiynau nawr gan arweinwyr y pleidiau. Arweinydd y Ceidwadwyr, Paul Davies.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, from the start of this week, people on low incomes in Wales will be able to claim £500 if they have to stay off work and self-isolate due to COVID-19. I'm pleased to see that those payments will now be backdated to 23 October. However, it remains the case that local authorities in Scotland and in England have been delivering the grants for some weeks and backdating them to 28 September. Now, the Minister for Health and Social Services has made it clear that Wales's payments have been delayed because the Welsh Government has had a 'practical challenge in getting all of our systems in place to make this work'. Can you tell us what those practical challenges are? And can you also tell us why the Welsh Government isn't backdating the payments to September, like in other parts of the UK, as surely this means that people on low incomes in Wales will be financially disadvantaged compared to people in England and in Scotland?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, o ddechrau'r wythnos hon, bydd pobl ar incwm isel yng Nghymru yn gallu hawlio £500 os bydd yn rhaid iddyn nhw aros i ffwrdd o'u gwaith a hunanynysu oherwydd COVID-19. Rwy'n falch o weld y bydd y taliadau hynny bellach yn cael eu hôl-ddyddio i 23 Hydref. Fodd bynnag, mae'n dal yn wir bod awdurdodau lleol yn yr Alban ac yn Lloegr wedi bod yn darparu'r grantiau ers rhai wythnosau ac yn eu hôl-ddyddio i 28 Medi. Nawr, mae'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol wedi ei gwneud yn eglur bod taliadau Cymru wedi eu hoedi gan fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cael her ymarferol wrth roi ein holl systemau ar waith i wneud i hyn weithio. A allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni beth yw'r heriau ymarferol hynny? Ac a allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni hefyd pam nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn ôl-ddyddio'r taliadau i fis Medi, fel mewn rhannau eraill o'r DU, gan fod hyn yn sicr yn golygu y bydd pobl ar incwm isel yng Nghymru o dan anfantais ariannol o'u cymharu â phobl yn Lloegr ac yn yr Alban?
English: Well, Llywydd, we backdate to 23 October, because that is when the firebreak period was introduced in Wales, and that gives us a reason for doing that. The purpose of the £500 is to assist people to self-isolate. It's no assistance to people to do that if the period of self-isolation has already been completed many, many weeks ago. The practical challenges are in designing a system that is not open to fraud, because we cannot have a system in which people simply self-declare that they have been asked to self-isolate and then claim £500 of public money. We need to be certain that if people get the £500, as we want them to do, because we want people to be able to self-isolate, then we need to know that those people have been asked to do so by our test, trace, protect system and, therefore, are bona fide claimants of this public money.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, rydym ni'n ôl-ddyddio i 23 Hydref, oherwydd dyna pryd y cyflwynwyd y cyfnod atal byr yng Nghymru, ac mae hynny yn rhoi rheswm i ni dros wneud hynny. Diben y £500 yw cynorthwyo pobl i hunanynysu. Nid yw o ddim cymorth i bobl wneud hynny os yw'r cyfnod hunanynysu eisoes wedi ei gwblhau wythnosau lawer yn ôl. Mae'r heriau ymarferol mewn llunio system nad yw'n agored i dwyll, oherwydd ni allwn ni fod â system lle mae pobl yn hunan-ddatgan y gofynnwyd iddyn nhw hunanynysu ac yna'n hawlio £500 o arian cyhoeddus. Mae angen i ni fod yn sicr, os bydd pobl yn cael y £500, fel yr ydym ni eisiau iddyn nhw ei gael, oherwydd bod ni eisiau i bobl allu hunanynysu, yna mae angen i ni wybod y gofynnwyd i'r bobl hynny wneud hynny drwy ein system profi, olrhain, diogelu ac, felly, eu bod nhw'n hawlwyr dilys o'r arian cyhoeddus hwn.
English: Well, First Minister, it's absolutely crucial that those who need additional support throughout the pandemic have actually access to it, whether that's financial support for someone living on a low income that has to self-isolate, additional guidance and support for those who were previously on the shielding list or mental health support for those who simply don't feel like they're entitled to it. Now, First Minister, I'm sure you'll share my concerns about the news that a recent Mind Cymru survey found a third of adults and a quarter of young people failed to get help because they didn't think they deserved it. As you know, it's so important that intervention is provided as early as possible to stop some conditions escalating, and substantially improve outcomes for patients. You've recently reshuffled your Cabinet, which now recognises mental health as a significant policy area, therefore, can you tell us how the Welsh Government is responding to concerns from organisations like Mind Cymru about ensuring people are getting the help that they need, and what further action can the Welsh Government take to better communicate to people the importance of reaching out and accessing mental health support and services if they are struggling to cope during the pandemic?
Welsh: Wel, Prif Weinidog, mae'n gwbl hanfodol bod y rhai sydd angen cymorth ychwanegol drwy'r pandemig yn gallu cael gafael arno, boed hynny yn gymorth ariannol i rywun sy'n byw ar incwm isel y mae'n rhaid iddo hunanynysu, yn ganllawiau a chymorth ychwanegol i'r rhai a oedd ar y rhestr amddiffyn yn flaenorol neu'n gymorth iechyd meddwl i'r rhai nad ydyn nhw'n teimlo bod ganddyn nhw hawl iddo. Nawr, Prif Weinidog, rwy'n siŵr y byddwch chi'n rhannu fy mhryderon am y newyddion bod arolwg diweddar gan Mind Cymru wedi canfod bod traean o oedolion a chwarter pobl ifanc wedi methu â chael cymorth gan nad oedden nhw'n credu eu bod nhw'n ei haeddu. Fel y gwyddoch, mae hi mor bwysig bod ymyrraeth yn cael ei darparu cyn gynted â phosibl i atal rhai cyflyrau rhag gwaethygu, a gwella canlyniadau yn sylweddol i gleifion. Rydych chi wedi ad-drefnu eich Cabinet yn ddiweddar, sydd bellach yn cydnabod iechyd meddwl fel maes polisi o bwys, felly, a allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymateb i bryderon gan sefydliadau fel Mind Cymru ynghylch sicrhau bod pobl yn cael y cymorth sydd ei angen arnyn nhw, a pha gamau pellach y gall Llywodraeth Cymru eu cymryd i gyfathrebu yn well i bobl pwysigrwydd estyn allan a chael gafael ar gymorth a gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl os ydyn nhw'n ei chael hi'n anodd ymdopi yn ystod y pandemig?
English: Well, I know that, First Minister, you want to distract from talking about your responsibilities as a Government in order to avoid highlighting your failures -
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n gwybod, Prif Weinidog, eich bod chi eisiau tynnu sylw oddi wrth siarad am eich cyfrifoldebau fel Llywodraeth er mwyn osgoi amlygu eich methiannau -
English: Just try, just try.
Welsh: Rhowch gynnig arni, rhowch gynnig arni.
English: - your failures when it comes to the health service, your failures when it comes to the education system -
Welsh: - eich methiannau o ran y gwasanaeth iechyd, eich methiannau o ran y system addysg -
English: You could have said 'yes'; you could have said 'yes'.
Welsh: Gallech chi fod wedi dweud 'hoffwn'; gallech fod wedi dweud 'hoffwn'.
English: - and your failures when it comes to the economy. First Minister, figures today show that 23 deaths were registered in care homes - almost triple the amount registered last week, which is a significant cause for concern - and yet, figures still aren't available to confirm exactly how many care homes in Wales are directly affected by COVID-19, and how many residents in Wales, so that the Welsh Government can support care settings more effectively. Now you'll be aware of the delays that some care home residents and staff have faced in getting test results back quickly and there's also been concern over the high rate of false positive test results that has also added significant pressure to the sector, and we now know that people are discharged from hospitals into care homes within days of receiving a positive COVID test, which I know you will agree is unacceptable. So, First Minister, as the challenges facing care homes across Wales continue, can you tell us how many care home residents and staff have been affected by COVID-19 in Wales? Can you also tell us what the Welsh Government is doing to turn around the time it takes care home staff and residents to get their COVID test results, and how it's addressing the issue of false positive tests? Given that the Welsh Government has commissioned further analysis of the discharge figures, can you tell us what further interventions are being considered to support care home residents and staff throughout this pandemic?
Welsh: - a'ch methiannau o ran yr economi. Prif Weinidog, mae ffigurau heddiw yn dangos y cofrestrwyd 23 o farwolaethau mewn cartrefi gofal - bron i dair gwaith y nifer a gofrestrwyd yr wythnos diwethaf, sy'n destun pryder sylweddol - ac eto, nid oes ffigurau ar gael o hyd i gadarnhau faint yn union o gartrefi gofal yng Nghymru y mae COVID-19 yn effeithio arnyn nhw yn uniongyrchol, a faint o drigolion yng Nghymru, fel y gall Llywodraeth Cymru gefnogi lleoliadau gofal yn fwy effeithiol. Nawr, byddwch yn ymwybodol o'r oedi y mae rhai preswylwyr a staff cartrefi gofal wedi ei wynebu o ran cael canlyniadau profion yn ôl yn gyflym a bu pryder hefyd ynghylch y gyfradd uchel o ganlyniadau profion positif ffug sydd hefyd wedi ychwanegu pwysau sylweddol ar y sector, ac rydym ni'n gwybod erbyn hyn bod pobl yn cael eu rhyddhau o ysbytai i gartrefi gofal o fewn diwrnodau o gael prawf COVID positif, y gwn y byddwch chi'n cytuno sy'n annerbyniol. Felly, Prif Weinidog, wrth i'r heriau sy'n wynebu cartrefi gofal ledled Cymru barhau, a allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni faint o breswylwyr a staff cartrefi gofal y mae COVID-19 wedi effeithio arnyn nhw yng Nghymru? A allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni hefyd beth mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud i weddnewid yr amser y mae'n ei gymryd i staff a phreswylwyr cartrefi gofal gael canlyniadau eu profion COVID, a sut mae'n mynd i'r afael â phrofion positif ffug? O gofio bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi comisiynu dadansoddiad pellach o'r ffigurau rhyddhau, a allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni pa ymyraethau pellach sy'n cael eu hystyried i gefnogi preswylwyr a staff cartrefi gofal drwy gydol y pandemig hwn?
English: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, according to media reports, Tata Steel UK is currently seeking £500 million of funding from the UK Government as part of the Project Birch initiative in order to sustain its future. Accepting this support, it's said, will require Tata to close both its two blast furnaces at Port Talbot and replace them with electric arc furnaces that will produce steel from scrap rather than iron ore. While this will reduce the emission of greenhouse gases in Wales, it will also lead to very significant redundancies among the steelworks' employees. If this happens, history tells us that the probability of the re-establishment when clean technology becomes available is small, and Wales will have lost a vital part of its industrial base. Would you agree that a policy of reducing UK greenhouse gases, while increasing them in other countries via imports, at the expense of Welsh workers jobs, would represent a short-term fix rather than a genuinely sustainable industrial strategy, and is the very opposite of a just transition to a decarbonised future?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, yn ôl adroddiadau yn y cyfryngau, mae Tata Steel UK yn gofyn ar hyn o bryd am £500 miliwn o gyllid gan Lywodraeth y DU yn rhan o fenter Project Birch er mwyn cynnal ei ddyfodol. Bydd derbyn y cymorth hwn, dywedir, yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i Tata gau ei ddwy ffwrnais chwyth ym Mhort Talbot a gosod ffwrneisi arc trydan yn hytrach a fydd yn cynhyrchu dur o sgrap yn hytrach na mwyn haearn. Er y bydd hyn yn lleihau allyriadau nwyon tŷ gwydr yng Nghymru, bydd hefyd yn arwain at ddiswyddiadau sylweddol iawn ymhlith gweithwyr y gwaith dur. Os bydd hyn yn digwydd, mae hanes yn dweud wrthym ni mai bach yw'r tebygolrwydd o ailsefydlu pan fydd technoleg lân ar gael, a bydd Cymru wedi colli rhan hanfodol o'i sylfaen ddiwydiannol. A fyddech chi'n cytuno y byddai polisi o leihau nwyon tŷ gwydr y DU, gan eu cynyddu mewn gwledydd eraill drwy fewnforion, ar draul swyddi gweithwyr Cymru, yn ateb byrdymor yn hytrach na strategaeth ddiwydiannol wirioneddol gynaliadwy, ac mai dyma'r gwrthwyneb llwyr i newid cyfiawn i ddyfodol wedi'i ddatgarboneiddio?
