English: Again, thank you for that answer. Well, obviously, I'm hoping, like me, you're interested in the life chances of pupils from all backgrounds, and, at the moment, it's those in more affluent areas who seem to be taking the brunt of the way that local authorities are making decisions about how they distribute moneys - core funding. It's all well and good to speak about some of the other grants you mentioned, but of course, there have been cuts to the education improvement grant, as we've heard, in Gwynedd, which has resulted in children who don't speak Welsh as a first language not having access to the instruction that they need to help them access education through the medium of Welsh in that county. Now, again, on the subject of unintended consequences of a good idea, teachers and local authorities are now very worried about how they're going to be able to meet the cost of compliance with the additional learning needs Act and the code, with some very serious questions being raised about the support currently offered to pupils on school action, in particular. I've been told by a teacher that it can take up to 20 hours of admin time to support a child, let alone the actual in-classroom time, and that staffing implications at a time when some schools are having to let staff go, in some cases, when the number of special education needs pupils is already rising and SEN funding from councils is falling. Now, there've always been concerns about the way this legislation is costed - I'm sure you remember that bruising period. I'm just wondering whether you will commit to reviewing not just what it costs to implement the Act and through the code, but ensuring that any additional money that you do manage to identify in due course cannot be diverted to meet other pressures that councils claim they have.
Welsh: Unwaith eto, diolch am eich ateb. Wel, yn amlwg, rwy'n gobeithio bod gennych chi, fel minnau, ddiddordeb yng nghyfleoedd bywyd disgyblion o bob cefndir, ac ar hyn o bryd, ymddengys mai'r rheini yn yr ardaloedd mwy cefnog sy'n ysgwyddo'r baich o ran y ffordd y mae awdurdodau lleol yn gwneud penderfyniadau ynglŷn â sut y maent yn dosbarthu arian - cyllid craidd. Mae'n ddigon hawdd siarad am rai o'r grantiau eraill a grybwylloch, ond wrth gwrs, cafwyd toriadau i'r grant gwella addysg, fel y clywsom, yng Ngwynedd, sydd wedi arwain at blant nad ydynt yn siarad Cymraeg fel iaith gyntaf yn methu cael mynediad at y gwersi sydd eu hangen arnynt i'w helpu i gael mynediad at addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg yn y sir honno. Nawr, unwaith eto, ar fater canlyniadau anfwriadol i syniad da, mae athrawon ac awdurdodau lleol yn bryderus iawn bellach ynglŷn â sut y gallant dalu cost cydymffurfio â'r Ddeddf anghenion dysgu ychwanegol a'r cod, gyda chwestiynau difrifol iawn yn cael eu gofyn ynglŷn â'r cymorth a gynigir ar hyn o bryd i ddisgyblion mewn perthynas â gweithredu gan yr ysgol, yn arbennig. Dywedwyd wrthyf gan athro y gall gymryd hyd at 20 awr o amser gweinyddol i gefnogi plentyn, heb sôn am yr amser yn yr ystafell ddosbarth, a bod hyn yn arwain at oblygiadau staffio ar adeg pan fo rhai ysgolion yn gorfod diswyddo staff, mewn rhai achosion, pan fo nifer y disgyblion sydd ag anghenion addysgol arbennig yn codi eisoes a chyllid anghenion addysgol arbennig gan gynghorau yn lleihau. Nawr, mae pryderon wedi bod o'r cychwyn ynglŷn â'r ffordd y cafodd y ddeddfwriaeth hon ei chostio - rwy'n siŵr eich bod yn cofio'r cyfnod anodd hwnnw. Tybed a wnewch chi ymrwymo i adolygu nid yn unig faint mae'n ei gostio i weithredu'r Ddeddf a thrwy'r cod, ond i sicrhau na ellir dargyfeirio unrhyw arian ychwanegol y llwyddwch i gael hyd iddo maes o law er mwyn lleddfu pwysau arall y mae'r cynghorau'n honni eu bod yn ei wynebu.
