English: Well, I think, first of all, there were no guidelines for last year. A tussle - well, it was quite a friendly tussle, but I think last year, if I remember rightly, we had requested between 3 per cent and 4 per cent - that's off the top of my head. Of course, we hadn't included - . The tussle, if you like, was we'd been asking for the additional powers for some years, and the committee felt that it was time for me to include additional costs for the new Act. I refused. I said, 'I'll do it. I'll come back with a supplementary budget when I see the Act happening.' And I'm very pleased to say that that did happen, at last. And, of course, we followed the supplementary, but I think the committee felt that it was important for us to show in the estimate last year what impact that was going to have. So, instead of putting a request in for 3 or 4 per cent, we put a basic request in for about 1 per cent, and there were additional costs for the power of about 8 per cent, which turns into about 6 per cent. But, I think there was a feeling, if it's fair for me to say - . We've been through a period where there has been additional inflation in terms of our services over the last decade. Complaints are increasing year on year. Within that, of course, health complaints are increasing very quickly. When I see the block growing and when I see health services being protected, there is a feeling sometimes, 'Well, it's not unreasonable for us to expect there to be some kind of assistance for us, because we do deal with the additional pressure that emanates from the health service.' But as I said, we haven't talked about the block this year. We have talked about using the GDP deflators, but the only thing I'd say in terms of the principles where we've found it difficult is to try and think about the long term, to be honest. We come here year after year - the annual financial period that we have - and, of course, I thing that we all accept that it is difficult to plan long term where there are major questions in terms of when we'll have an election, who's going to win that election, and what kind of broader fiscal context is going to affect the services of the Assembly and the Government.
Welsh: Wel, dwi'n meddwl, yn gyntaf, doedd yna ddim canllawiau ar gyfer y flwyddyn diwethaf. Tussle - wel, roedd o'n eithaf friendly o tussle, os liciwch chi, ond dwi'n meddwl y llynedd, os dwi'n cofio, roedden ni wedi gofyn am rhwng 3 y cant a 4 y cant - mae hynny'n fras iawn off top fy mhen. Wrth gwrs, doedden ni ddim wedi cynnwys chwaith - . Y tussle, os liciwch chi, oedd roedden ni wedi bod yn gofyn am y pwerau ychwanegol yma ers rhai blynyddoedd, ac roedd y pwyllgor yn teimlo ei bod yn amser i mi roi y costau ychwanegol ar gyfer y Ddeddf newydd i mewn. Mi wnes i wrthod. Mi wnes i ddweud, 'Mi wnaf i ei wneud o. Mi wnaf i ddod yn ôl efo supplementary pan dwi'n gweld y Ddeddf yn digwydd.' A dwi'n falch iawn o ddweud bod hynny wedi digwydd, o'r diwedd. Ac, wrth gwrs, mi ddaru ni ddilyn y supplementary, ond roedd y pwyllgor yn teimlo dwi'n meddwl hefyd ei fod o'n bwysig i ni ddangos yn amcangyfrif y llynedd pa effaith roedd hynny yn mynd i'w gael. Felly, yn lle rhoi cais i mewn am tua 3 y cant neu 4 y cant, fe ddaru ni roi cais sylfaenol i mewn am tua 1 y cant, ac wedyn roedd y costau ychwanegol ar gyfer y pŵer tua 8 y cant, sy'n troi i mewn i tua 6 y cant. Hefyd, dwi'n meddwl yr oedd yna deimlad, os yw'n deg i mi ddweud - . Rydym ni wedi bod trwy gyfnod lle mae yna chwyddiant ychwanegol wedi bod ar ein gwasanaethau ni yn ystod y degawd diwethaf. Mae cwynion yn cynyddu flwyddyn ar ôl blwyddyn. Tu fewn i hynny, wrth gwrs, mae cwynion iechyd yn cynyddu yn gyflym iawn. Wedyn, pan dwi'n gweld y bloc yn tyfu a phan dwi'n gweld gwasanaethau iechyd yn cael eu hamddiffyn, mae yna deimlad efallai gennym ni weithiau, 'Wel, dydy hi ddim yn afresymol i ni ddisgwyl bod yna ryw fath o gymorth i ni, oherwydd rydyn ni yn delio â'r pwysau ychwanegol yna sy'n dod o'r gwasanaeth iechyd.' Ond fel dwi'n dweud, dydyn ni ddim wedi sôn am y bloc eleni. Rydyn ni wedi sôn am ddefnyddio GDP deflators, ond yr unig beth fuaswn i'n dweud o safbwynt yr egwyddorion lle rydyn ni wedi ffeindio fo'n anodd ydy trio meddwl am y tymor hir, i fod yn onest. Rydyn ni yn dod yma flwyddyn ar ôl blwyddyn - y cyfnod ariannol blynyddol sydd gennym ni - ac, wrth gwrs, dwi'n meddwl buasai pawb yn derbyn ar hyn o bryd ei bod yn anodd cynllunio yn yr hirdymor lle mae yna gwestiynau mawr yn digwydd o safbwynt pa bryd rydyn ni'n cael etholiad, pwy sy'n mynd i ennill yr etholiad yna, a pha fath o gyd-destun ehangach fiscal sy'n mynd i effeithio ar wasanaethau y Cynulliad a'r Llywodraeth.
