English: I thank the Member for that, which is a prescient question given the work that my colleague Ken Skates is doing on a regional economic approach, and that we now have leads in all the areas for regional developments working with the Minister for Finance and the Minister for local government, creating those new footprints, doing all the work that our colleague Huw Irranca-Davies is doing to lead a new regional economic approach for funding post Brexit. We need to bring those things together, to have common footprints for them, and to add those different strands together in a way that adds up to a genuinely regional approach. And I absolutely recognise the work that Mike Hedges has done in always supporting the Swansea city deal because of the transformative effect it can have not simply for the city of Swansea, but for the whole region that Swansea helps to lead.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am hynna, sy'n gwestiwn perthnasol iawn ar hyn o bryd o gofio'r gwaith y mae fy nghyd-Weinidog Ken Skates yn ei wneud ar ddull economaidd rhanbarthol, a bod gennym ni arweinwyr yn yr holl ardaloedd ar gyfer datblygiadau rhanbarthol erbyn hyn, yn gweithio gyda'r Gweinidog Cyllid a'r Gweinidog llywodraeth leol, yn creu'r olion traed newydd hynny, yn gwneud yr holl waith y mae ein cydweithiwr, Huw Irranca-Davies, yn ei wneud i arwain dull economaidd rhanbarthol newydd ar gyfer ariannu ar ôl Brexit. Mae angen i ni ddod â'r pethau hynny at ei gilydd, bod ag olion traed cyffredin ar eu cyfer, ac ychwanegu'r gwahanol elfennau hynny at ei gilydd mewn ffordd sy'n arwain at ddull gwirioneddol ranbarthol. Ac rwy'n llwyr gydnabod y gwaith y mae Mike Hedges wedi ei wneud i gefnogi bargen ddinesig Abertawe o'r cychwyn oherwydd yr effaith weddnewidiol y gall ei chael nid yn unig ar ddinas Abertawe, ond ar y rhanbarth cyfan y mae Abertawe yn helpu i'w harwain.
English: I thank the Member for that question. Successive strategies, since 2003, have challenged traditional stereotypes of older people and promoted a culture in which we value and celebrate the contribution of older citizens to all aspects of Welsh life.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn yna. Mae strategaethau olynol, ers 2003, wedi herio stereoteipiau traddodiadol o bobl hŷn ac wedi hybu diwylliant lle'r ydym ni'n gwerthfawrogi ac yn dathlu cyfraniad dinasyddion hŷn at bob agwedd ar fywyd yng Nghymru.
English: Thank you very much for that reply, First Minister. Your strategy for older people recognises that opportunities for older people to enjoy and participate in their community rely on access to transport. It clearly states that one of its strategic outcomes is to enable older people to access affordable and appropriate transport, which assists them to play a full part in family, social and community life. Do you accept, First Minister, that your proposal to raise the age of eligibility for a free bus pass is in direct conflict with the aims of your strategy for older people? And will you accede to the request of the Older People's Commissioner for Wales and reconsider this proposal, please?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn am yr ateb yna, Prif Weinidog. Mae eich strategaeth ar gyfer pobl hŷn yn cydnabod bod cyfleoedd i bobl hŷn fwynhau a chymryd rhan yn eu cymuned yn dibynnu ar fynediad at drafnidiaeth. Mae'n nodi'n eglur mai un o'i ganlyniadau strategol yw galluogi pobl hŷn i gael mynediad at drafnidiaeth fforddiadwy a phriodol, sy'n eu cynorthwyo i chwarae rhan lawn mewn bywyd teuluol, cymdeithasol a chymunedol. A ydych chi'n derbyn, Prif Weinidog, bod eich cynnig i godi'r oedran cymhwyso ar gyfer tocyn bws am ddim yn gwrthdaro'n uniongyrchol â nodau eich strategaeth ar gyfer pobl hŷn? Ac a wnewch chi gytuno i gais Comisiynydd Pobl Hŷn Cymru ac ailystyried y cynnig hwn, os gwelwch yn dda?
English: Well, I don't think that is a fair characterisation of what has been suggested and which is still being discussed and debated. Any person who holds a concessionary bus pass, should the law be changed, would not lose their entitlement to that pass in any circumstances. We have to think at least about the way in which things around us are changing, including the changes that have been made to eligibility for free bus travel across our border by the Member's own Government. When free bus passes were introduced in 2002, then the state pensionable age for women and men was 60 for women and 65 for men. That has changed over time. The pensionable age next year will rise to 66. What we are doing is making sure that this part of what the Welsh Government offers keeps pace with other changes in older people's lives, and it's a conversation we are keen to continue to have with the older person's commissioner and others who represent older people in Wales.
Welsh: Wel, nid wyf i'n credu bod hwnna'n ddisgrifiad teg o'r hyn sydd wedi cael ei awgrymu ac sy'n dal i gael ei drafod a'i ddadlau. Ni fyddai unrhyw un sydd â thocyn bws rhatach, pe byddai'r gyfraith yn cael ei newid, yn colli ei hawl i'r tocyn hwnnw o dan unrhyw amgylchiadau. Mae'n rhaid i ni feddwl o leiaf am y ffordd y mae pethau o'n cwmpas yn newid, gan gynnwys y newidiadau sydd wedi eu gwneud i gymhwysedd i deithio ar fysiau am ddim ar draws ein ffin gan Lywodraeth yr Aelod ei hun. Pan gyflwynwyd tocynnau bws am ddim yn 2002, 60 oedd oedran pensiwn y wladwriaeth ar gyfer menywod a 65 ar gyfer dynion. Mae hynny wedi newid dros amser. Bydd oedran pensiwn y flwyddyn nesaf yn codi i 66. Yr hyn yr ydym ni'n ei wneud yw sicrhau bod y rhan hon o'r hyn y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei gynnig yn cadw'n gyfredol â newidiadau eraill ym mywydau pobl hŷn, ac mae'n sgwrs yr ydym ni'n awyddus i barhau i'w chael gyda'r comisiynydd pobl hŷn ac eraill sy'n cynrychioli pobl hŷn yn Nghymru.
English: I thank the Member. A new framework for supply teachers was awarded by the National Procurement Service on 1 August and became operational on 1 September. Amongst other features, it ensures that supply teachers are properly supported and have access to professional learning and development opportunities.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod. Dyfarnwyd fframwaith newydd ar gyfer athrawon cyflenwi gan y Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol ar 1 Awst a daeth yn weithredol ar 1 Medi. Ymhlith nodweddion eraill, mae'n sicrhau bod athrawon cyflenwi yn cael eu cefnogi'n briodol a bod cyfleoedd dysgu a datblygu proffesiynol ar gael iddyn nhw.
English: I thank the First Minister for that answer. I was a member of the CYPE committee in the fourth Assembly and we did work on supply teaching, and one of our recommendations was actually to bring it back in-house rather than keep the agencies. I appreciate the Welsh Government has gone through a different approach and uses the NPS as a framework guidance. I very much appreciate your comment upon the fact that it's there to ensure teachers get fair play through the agency process. I have seen an e-mail from one of those agencies, which has won some of those frameworks - actually, 22 of them, so it's across all of Wales - which indicates to schools a way of getting around and circumventing the framework and encouraging schools to think about employing teachers out of the framework, therefore reducing the cost but also reducing the terms and conditions of the individual teacher, and, of course, making more profit for that agency. Will you look very carefully at all these agencies to ensure they're not circumventing the framework, kick them out if they are, quite rightly, and ensure that teachers get the due regard and respect they deserve, and supply teachers are part of that?
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Prif Weinidog am yr ateb yna. Roeddwn i'n aelod o'r pwyllgor PPIA yn y pedwerydd Cynulliad a gwnaed gwaith gennym ar waith llanw, ac un o'n hargymhellion mewn gwirionedd oedd dod ag ef yn ôl yn fewnol yn hytrach na chadw'r asiantaethau. Rwy'n sylweddoli bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dilyn gwahanol ddull ac wedi defnyddio'r GCC fel canllaw fframwaith. Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi'n fawr eich sylwadau ar y ffaith ei fod yno i sicrhau bod athrawon yn cael chwarae teg drwy'r broses asiantaeth. Rwyf i wedi gweld e-bost gan un o'r asiantaethau hynny, sydd wedi ennill rhai o'r fframweithiau hynny - 22 ohonynt, mewn gwirionedd, felly mae ar draws Cymru gyfan - sy'n dangos i ysgolion ffordd o fynd o gwmpas ac osgoi'r fframwaith ac yn annog ysgolion i feddwl am gyflogi athrawon allan o'r fframwaith, gan leihau'r gost ond hefyd lleihau telerau ac amodau'r athro neu athrawes unigol, ac, wrth gwrs, gwneud mwy o elw i'r asiantaeth honno. A wnewch chi edrych yn ofalus iawn ar yr holl asiantaethau hyn i sicrhau nad ydyn nhw yn osgoi'r fframwaith, eu taflu allan os ydyn nhw, yn gwbl briodol, a sicrhau bod athrawon yn cael y sylw a'r parch dyledus y maen nhw'n eu haeddu, a bod athrawon cyflenwi yn rhan o hynny?
English: I completely agree with the Member about the importance of supply teachers and the fact that they are an essential part of the teaching workforce, and, of course, the new system is designed to be carefully monitored. It's been going only three weeks, so these are early stages and it's not surprising in some ways that the full rulebook has yet to settle completely. But, just to be completely clear, NPS will pursue full compliance with the terms on which companies have been placed on the framework, and where there are any allegations or evidence of non-compliance against the framework, then those things will be raised with the agencies, warnings will be issued and, if in the end it is clear that this is not just settling in but a deliberate attempt to get round the framework to which those companies have applied and been successful in being placed on that contract, then of course they will be removed from it.
Welsh: Rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr â'r Aelod ynglŷn â phwysigrwydd athrawon cyflenwi a'r ffaith eu bod nhw'n rhan hanfodol o'r gweithlu addysgu, ac, wrth gwrs, mae'r system newydd wedi ei chynllunio i gael ei monitro yn ofalus. Mae wedi bod yn weithredol ers tair wythnos yn unig, felly mae'r rhain yn gamau cynnar ac nid yw'n syndod mewn rhai ffyrdd nad yw'r llyfr rheolau llawn wedi ymsefydlu'n llwyr eto. Ond i fod yn hollol eglur, bydd GCC yn mynd ati i sicrhau cydymffurfiad llawn â'r telerau y rhoddwyd cwmnïau ar y fframwaith ar eu sail, a lle ceir unrhyw honiadau neu dystiolaeth o ddiffyg cydymffurfio yn erbyn y fframwaith, yna bydd y pethau hynny'n cael eu codi gyda'r asiantaethau, bydd rhybuddion yn cael eu cyflwyno ac, os yw'n amlwg yn y pen draw nad dim ond ymsefydlu yw hyn ond ymgais fwriadol i osgoi'r fframwaith y gwnaeth y cwmnïau hynny gais iddo gan lwyddo i gael eu rhoi ar y contract hwnnw, yna, wrth gwrs, byddant yn cael eu tynnu oddi arno.
English: I thank John Griffiths for that. One person sleeping rough is one person too many. The Welsh Government has set up an action group, lead by the chief executive of Crisis, to identify a series of immediate actions to be taken this winter to reduce rough-sleeping, and that group's report is expected early in October.
Welsh: Diolchaf i John Griffiths am hynna. Mae un person sy'n cysgu ar y stryd yn un person yn ormod. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi sefydlu grŵp gweithredu, dan arweiniad prif weithredwr Crisis, i nodi cyfres o gamau i'w cymryd ar unwaith y gaeaf hwn i leihau cysgu ar y stryd, a disgwylir adroddiad y grŵp hwnnw ddechrau mis Hydref.
English: First Minister, the committee that I Chair - the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee - reported on rough-sleeping and made recommendations 18 months ago. We continue to scrutinise Welsh Government with regard to progress, and we, indeed, held an event last week and will be holding another one this week. I also met with the chair of the action group. Amongst our recommendations I believe are many important matters that the action group are addressing, First Minister, and I think the central message from the committee is that we want to see the work of that action group and the necessary improvements take place with real urgency and pace, given, as you say, that one person sleeping rough is one person too many, and it's still tragically a very visible and serious problem on our streets.
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, adroddodd y Pwyllgor yr wyf i'n ei gadeirio - y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb, Llywodraeth Leol a Chymunedau - ar gysgu ar y stryd a gwnaeth argymhellion 18 mis yn ôl. Rydym ni'n parhau i graffu ar waith Llywodraeth Cymru o ran cynnydd, a chynhaliwyd digwyddiad gennym ni, yn wir,mewn gwirionedd, yr wythnos diwethaf a byddwn yn cynnal un arall yr wythnos hon. Cefais gyfarfod hefyd â chadeirydd y grŵp gweithredu. Ymhlith ein hargymhellion rwy'n credu bod llawer o faterion pwysig y mae'r grŵp gweithredu yn rhoi sylw iddynt, Prif Weinidog, a chredaf mai'r neges ganolog gan y pwyllgor yw ein bod ni eisiau gweld gwaith y grŵp gweithredu hwnnw a bod y gwelliannau angenrheidiol yn digwydd gyda brys a chyflymdra gwirioneddol, o gofio, fel y dywedwch, bod un person sy'n cysgu ar y stryd yn un person yn ormod, a'i fod, yn drychinebus, yn dal i fod yn broblem amlwg a difrifol iawn ar ein strydoedd.
English: Well, can I thank John Griffiths for that and thank the committee as well for their work? I read the 'Life on the streets' report when it was first published, and I felt it made a real contribution to our understanding of the issues and to helping develop solutions. And the principles that that report outlined, the importance of primary prevention, the need for rapid rehousing when homelessness does take place and for our key ambition to be that homelessness in Wales, where it does happen, should be rare, brief and not repeated, those are things that have had a real impact on the Government's policy approach ever since. The Minister, I believe, is due to attend committee again on 17 October. That will, we hope, be after the report has been produced and it will be a further opportunity for the Minister and the committee to discuss progress towards our shared ambitions.
Welsh: Wel, a gaf i ddiolch i John Griffiths am hynny a diolch i'r Pwyllgor hefyd am eu gwaith? Darllenais yr adroddiad 'Bywyd ar y Strydoedd' pan gafodd ei gyhoeddi am y tro cyntaf, a theimlais ei fod yn gwneud cyfraniad gwirioneddol i'n dealltwriaeth o'r materion ac yn helpu i ddatblygu atebion. Yr egwyddorion a amlinellwyd yn yr adroddiad hwnnw, sef pwysigrwydd atal sylfaenol, yr angen i ailgartrefu'n gyflym pan fo digartrefedd yn digwydd, ac mai ein huchelgais allweddol yw y dylai digartrefedd yng Nghymru, lle mae'n digwydd, fod yn rhywbeth prin, am gyfnod byr ac na fydd yn digwydd eto; dyma bethau sydd wedi cael effaith wirioneddol ar ddull gweithredu polisi'r Llywodraeth byth ers hynny. Credaf y bydd y Gweinidog yn dod i'r Pwyllgor eto ar 17 Hydref. Bydd hynny, gobeithio, ar ôl i'r adroddiad gael ei gynhyrchu a bydd yn gyfle arall i'r Gweinidog a'r Pwyllgor drafod cynnydd tuag at ein huchelgeisiau cyffredin.
English: The next item, therefore, is the business statement and announcement, and I call on the Trefnydd to make the statement.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r datganiad a chyhoeddiad busnes, a dwi'n galw ar y Trefnydd i wneud ei datganiad.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. There are no changes to this week's business. Draft business for the next three weeks is set out on the business statement and announcement, which can be found amongst the meeting papers available to Members electronically.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Nid oes newidiadau i fusnes yr wythnos hon. Mae'r busnes drafft ar gyfer y tair wythnos nesaf wedi'i nodi yn y datganiad a chyhoeddiad busnes, y gellir ei weld ymysg papurau'r cyfarfod sydd ar gael i'r Aelodau yn electronig.
English: Thank you very much. I will have a conversation with my colleague the Minister for Health and Social Services with regard to your interest particularly in the Veterans' NHS Wales service and the support that it receives but also the available capacity within that organisation to meet the needs of veterans. In terms of the school liaison officer role, you asked how they might or might not be reflected in any budget decisions that are made. Obviously, we're at the very early start of our budget considerations, but I'm sure they will be discussed with the relevant Ministers during that budget-setting process.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Byddaf yn cael sgwrs gyda'm cydweithiwr, y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, ynglŷn â'ch diddordeb, yn enwedig yng Ngwasanaeth GIG Cymru i Gyn-filwyr a'r cymorth a roir iddo, ond hefyd y capasiti sydd ar gael o fewn y sefydliad hwnnw i ddiwallu anghenion cyn-filwyr. O ran swyddogion cyswllt ysgolion, gofynnwyd sut y gellid eu hadlewyrchu mewn unrhyw benderfyniadau ar y gyllideb a wneir, ai peidio. Yn amlwg, mae'n gynnar iawn yn ein hystyriaethau cyllidebol, ond rwy'n siŵr y bydd y swyddi hyn yn cael eu trafod gyda'r Gweinidogion perthnasol yn ystod y broses honno o bennu'r gyllideb.
English: Presiding Officer, mobile phone coverage, and any compensation, is an issue that is not devolved to the National Assembly for Wales and the Welsh Government, so that might be something that Leanne Wood would wish to take up with the appropriate Minister in the UK Government. On the second matter, universities in Wales are independent and autonomous institutions, and it is a matter for universities as to whom they invite onto their campuses. The Welsh Government has no say in such matters.
Welsh: Llywydd, mae signal ffonau symudol, ac unrhyw iawndal, yn fater sydd heb ei ddatganoli i Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru a Llywodraeth Cymru, felly gallai hynny fod yn rhywbeth y byddai Leanne Wood yn dymuno'i godi gyda'r Gweinidog priodol yn Llywodraeth y DU. O ran yr ail fater, mae prifysgolion yng Nghymru yn sefydliadau annibynnol ac ymreolaethol, a mater i'r prifysgolion yw pwy i wahodd i'w campysau. Nid oes gan Lywodraeth Cymru lais mewn materion o'r fath.
English: Trefnydd, I'd like to request two statements today, if I may. Firstly, last Friday, I had the pleasure of visiting Sheppards Pharmacy in Abercynon to find out about their new sore throat test-and-treat scheme that's being run as an extension of the Choose Pharmacy common ailments scheme. This innovative practice is another example of the way in which community pharmacies can be used to relieve pressure on our general practitioner services, and will be offered in every Cynon Valley community pharmacy from November. So, could we have a statement from the Welsh Government on how it's supporting community pharmacies and how it's working with them to encourage them to offer new, effective services like these, which will, of course, be so especially important in the coming months as we look to relieve winter pressures? Secondly, this lunchtime, I hosted a drop-in event with UnLtd, the UK foundation for social entrepreneurs, so that they could tell Assembly Members more about the work they do in finding, funding and supporting social entrepreneurs in Wales - social entrepreneurs like Janis Werrett, of Cynon Valley Organic Adventures, whose community garden, as well as promoting sustainability, offers educational and employability opportunities. I know there are some quite wide-ranging discussions taking place within the sector, but could we have a statement from Welsh Government on what work it is doing to provide support to social entrepreneurs, who, with the right support, can strengthen our communities and our economy simultaneously?
Welsh: Trefnydd, hoffwn i ofyn am ddau ddatganiad heddiw, os caf. Yn gyntaf, ddydd Gwener diwethaf, cefais y pleser o ymweld â Fferyllfa Sheppards yn Abercynon i gael gwybod am y cynllun profi a thrin dolur gwddf newydd sy'n cael ei gynnal fel estyniad o'r cynllun anhwylderau cyffredin Dewis Fferyllfa. Mae'r cynllun arloesol hwn yn enghraifft arall o'r ffordd y gellir defnyddio fferyllfeydd cymunedol i ysgafnhau'r pwysau ar ein gwasanaethau meddygon teulu, ac fe'i cynigir ym mhob fferyllfa gymunedol yng Nghwm Cynon o fis Tachwedd ymlaen. Felly, a gawn ni ddatganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar sut mae'n cefnogi fferyllfeydd cymunedol a sut mae'n gweithio gyda nhw i'w hannog i gynnig gwasanaethau newydd, effeithiol fel y rhain, a fydd, wrth gwrs, yn arbennig o bwysig yn y misoedd nesaf wrth inni geisio lleddfu pwysau'r gaeaf? Yn ail, yr amser cinio hwn, cynhaliais ddigwyddiad galw heibio gydag UnLtd, sefydliad y DU ar gyfer entrepreneuriaid cymdeithasol, er mwyn iddynt allu dweud mwy wrth Aelodau'r Cynulliad am y gwaith a wnânt i ddod o hyd i entrepreneuriaid cymdeithasol yng Nghymru, eu hariannu a'u cefnogi - entrepreneuriaid cymdeithasol fel Janis Werrett o Anturiaethau Organig Cwm Cynon, lle mae ei gardd gymunedol, yn ogystal â hyrwyddo cynaliadwyedd, yn cynnig cyfleoedd addysgol a chyflogadwyedd. Gwn fod rhai trafodaethau eang iawn yn digwydd o fewn y sector, ond a oes modd cael datganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru am y gwaith y mae'n ei wneud i roi cymorth i entrepreneuriaid cymdeithasol, a all, gyda'r cymorth cywir, gryfhau ein cymunedau a'n heconomi ar yr un pryd?
English: I thank Vikki for raising both of these important issues this afternoon. On the first, I will ask the health Minister to explore how we can best update the Assembly on how we are supporting community pharmacy, especially at this time of year, when they play an absolutely crucial role in terms of helping people access flu jabs, for example, but also in terms of the myriad things they can do to help people stay well but also be a first port of call for certain conditions as well. So, I'll ensure that there is an update provided on that. On the second issue, thank you for hosting the event at lunchtime. I had the pleasure of being able to come along and meet some excellent social enterprises that are working in Swansea. I met People Speak Up, Vibe Youth and also miFuture. I think just speaking to those three organisations, it really gave a strong picture of just the breadth of social enterprise and the vibrant sector that we have in Wales, which I know the Minister for economy is keen to continue to develop and support.
Welsh: Diolch i Vikki am godi'r ddau fater pwysig hyn y prynhawn yma. O ran y cyntaf, gofynnaf i'r Gweinidog Iechyd ymchwilio i'r ffordd orau o roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Cynulliad ar y modd yr ydym yn cefnogi fferylliaeth gymunedol, yn enwedig ar yr adeg hon o'r flwyddyn. Byddant yn chwarae rhan gwbl hanfodol yn helpu pobl i gael pigiadau ffliw, er enghraifft, ond hefyd mae llawer o bethau y gallant eu gwneud i helpu pobl i gadw'n iach ac fel y lle cyntaf i fynd iddo ar gyfer rhai cyflyrau. Felly, byddaf yn sicrhau bod diweddariad yn cael ei ddarparu ar hynny. O ran yr ail fater, diolch ichi am gynnal y digwyddiad amser cinio. Cefais y pleser o fod yno a chwrdd â mentrau cymdeithasol rhagorol sy'n gweithio yn Abertawe. Cwrddais â Phobl yn Siarad, Vibe Youth a hefyd miFuture. Rwy'n credu, drwy ddim ond siarad â'r tri sefydliad hynny, y cafwyd darlun cryf o'r ehangder o ran menter gymdeithasol a'r sector bywiog sydd gennym yng Nghymru, a gwn fod y Gweinidog Economi'n awyddus i barhau i'w ddatblygu a'i gefnogi.
