English: I would like to raise a concern that emerged yesterday evening, if you were watching Newyddion 9 that ethnic minorities in Wales are being forgotten as the 2021 census is held. The particular concern is that there will be no option to state that you are Welsh unless you are white. Now, this is entirely irresponsible. May I thank the singer, Kizzy Crawford, for discussing this live and for discussing how that is going to impact on her identity and how she defines herself? The situation is different in Scotland, as I understand it, but the Office for National Statistics is responsible for administering the census in Wales, on an England-and-Wales basis. Now, Nia Jeffreys, who is a Plaid Cymru cabinet member for corporate support on Gwynedd Council, has already corresponded with the ONS, but I would like to ask you, as the Welsh Government, what steps you are taking to communicate this concern to the census and what efforts are you making in order to enable people to officially note what their identity is. If this happens with the census, then we must ensure that it doesn't happen in other official capacities. At the end of the day, we are not going to have a clear picture of the people living and working here in Wales unless they can define themselves as they would choose and as should be a right for them, too.
Welsh: Hoffwn i godi'r pryder sydd wedi dod i'r amlwg neithiwr os oeddech chi'n gwylio Newyddion 9 bod lleiafrifoedd ethnig yng Nghymru'n cael eu hanghofio wrth i gyfrifiad 2021 gael ei gynnal. Yn benodol, y consérn yw na fydd yna unrhyw beth yn rhagor o ran opsiwn i ddatgan eich bod chi'n Gymro neu'n Gymraes, oni bai eich bod chi'n wyn. Nawr, mae hwn yn hollol anghyfrifol. Allaf i ddiolch hefyd, heddiw, y gantores, Kizzy Crawford, am drafod hyn yn fyw a sut mae hynny'n mynd i effeithio ar ei hunaniaeth hi a sut mae hi'n diffinio ei hun? Mae'r sefyllfa'n wahanol yn yr Alban, yn ôl beth dwi'n deall, ond y Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol sydd yn gyfrifol am weinyddu'r cyfrifiad yng Nghymru ar sail Cymru a Lloegr. Nawr, mae Nia Jeffreys, sydd yn aelod cabinet Plaid Cymru dros gefnogaeth gorfforaethol ar Gyngor Gwynedd, eisoes wedi gohebu â'r Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol yn barod, ond hoffwn ofyn i chi, fel Llywodraeth Cymru, pa gamau dŷch chi'n eu cymryd i gyfathrebu hwn at y cyfrifiad a pha ymdrechion dŷch chi'n eu gwneud er mwyn galluogi pobl i nodi'n swyddogol beth yw eu hunaniaeth? Os yw hyn yn digwydd ar y cyfrifiad, yna, mae'n rhaid i ni sicrhau nad yw e'n digwydd mewn meysydd swyddogol eraill. Ar ddiwedd y dydd, dŷn ni ddim yn mynd i gael darlun clir o'r bobl sydd yn byw ac sydd yn gweithredu yma yng Nghymru os nad ydyn nhw'n gallu diffinio eu hun fel maen nhw eisiau ac fel sydd yn hawl iddyn nhw hefyd.
English: Welsh Government agrees completely that the ethnicity question at present isn't inclusive of all of those members of society who consider themselves to be Welsh but aren't white. I can confirm that Welsh Government officials have been raising this directly with the ONS for quite some time, and I have written recently to the Minister for the Constitution on this matter to more formally raise Welsh Government's concerns. We haven't yet had a response to that letter for probably obvious reasons with the general election ongoing. I think it is important to recognise that, within the census, there is a separate question on national identity. So, anybody can identify as Welsh, English, British or any combination of that, but we do agree that the ethnicity question isn't so inclusive in its current wording. We do want the ONS to consider this issue carefully. I think this is an opportunity as well to emphasise that the census in 2021 - it's so important that it is a successful census, because it's critical to our understanding of all of those population groups to ensure that they are included in the data that helps inform decisions that Government takes. Therefore, we would encourage as many people as possible to respond to that census when it does come around. But, Llywydd, I'd be very happy to share the response to the letter I sent to the Minister for the Constitution and a copy of the letter that I sent with colleagues. FootnoteLink FootnoteLink
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cytuno'n llwyr nad yw'r cwestiwn ar ethnigrwydd ar hyn o bryd yn cynnwys pob un o'r aelodau hynny o gymdeithas sy'n ystyried eu hunain yn Gymry ond nad ydyn nhw'n wyn. Gallaf gadarnhau bod swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn codi hyn yn uniongyrchol gyda'r ONS ers cryn amser, ac rwyf wedi ysgrifennu'n ddiweddar at y Gweinidog dros y Cyfansoddiad ar y mater hwn i godi pryderon Llywodraeth Cymru yn fwy ffurfiol. Nid ydym wedi cael ymateb i'r llythyr hwnnw eto, am resymau amlwg yn ôl pob tebyg gyda'r etholiad cyffredinol yn mynd rhagddo. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig cydnabod, o fewn y cyfrifiad, fod cwestiwn ar wahân ar hunaniaeth genedlaethol. Felly, gall unrhyw rai adnabod eu hunain fel Cymry, Saeson, Prydeinwyr neu unrhyw gyfuniad o hynny, ond cytunwn nad yw cwestiwn ethnigrwydd mor gynhwysol fel y caiff ei eirio ar hyn o bryd. Rydym ni eisiau i'r ONS ystyried y mater hwn yn ofalus. Rwy'n credu bod hwn yn gyfle hefyd i bwysleisio bod y cyfrifiad yn 2021 - mae mor bwysig ei fod yn gyfrifiad llwyddiannus, oherwydd mae'n hanfodol i'n dealltwriaeth ni o'r holl grwpiau poblogaeth hynny er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn cael eu cynnwys yn y data sy'n helpu i lywio penderfyniadau a wneir gan y Llywodraeth. Felly, byddem ni'n annog cynifer o bobl â phosib i ymateb i'r cyfrifiad hwnnw pan fydd yn digwydd. Ond, Llywydd, byddwn i'n hapus iawn i rannu'r ymateb i'r llythyr a anfonais i at y Gweinidog dros y Cyfansoddiad a chopi o'r llythyr yr anfonais i gyda fy nghyd-Weinidogion. FootnoteLink FootnoteLink
English: Business manager, the First Minister referred to the new hospital being built, the Grange University Hospital, being built in Llanfrechfa, during FMQs. This has been welcomed by people I represent in Blaenau Gwent, who are looking forward to the hospital and the facilities, and the extension and improvement in healthcare that this offers. But to maximise the potential of the hospital in delivering healthcare for people across the Aneurin Bevan area, of course, we do need the transport networks that will enable people to use the facilities there and to visit those who are in-patients in the new hospital. I have spoken to both the health Minister and the transport Minister on this matter, and I think it's important that we do have a statement from at least one of them to ensure that we have in place all the public transport networks, the funding and the provision of particularly bus services to enable people to reach that hospital. So, I'd be grateful to have a statement on that early in the new year to ensure that all of these transport systems are in place when the new hospital is commissioned.
Welsh: Rheolwr Busnes, cyfeiriodd y Prif Weinidog yn ystod y cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog, at yr ysbyty newydd sy'n cael ei adeiladu, sef Ysbyty Athrofaol Grange, sy'n cael ei adeiladu yn Llanfrechfa. Roedd croeso i hyn gan y bobl yr wyf yn eu cynrychioli ym Mlaenau Gwent, sy'n edrych ymlaen at gael yr ysbyty a'r cyfleusterau, a'r ehangu a'r gwelliant ym maes gofal iechyd y mae hyn yn ei gynnig. Ond er mwyn manteisio i'r eithaf ar botensial yr ysbyty i ddarparu gofal iechyd i bobl ledled ardal Aneurin Bevan, wrth gwrs, mae angen y rhwydweithiau trafnidiaeth arnom a fydd yn galluogi pobl i ddefnyddio'r cyfleusterau yno ac i ymweld â'r rheini sy'n gleifion mewnol yn yr ysbyty newydd. Rwyf wedi siarad â'r Gweinidog Iechyd a'r Gweinidog Trafnidiaeth ynghylch y mater hwn, a chredaf i ei bod yn bwysig inni gael datganiad gan o leiaf un ohonyn nhw i sicrhau bod gennym ni'r holl rwydweithiau trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, y cyllido a'r ddarpariaeth o wasanaethau bysiau i alluogi pobl i gyrraedd yr ysbyty hwnnw. Felly, byddwn i'n ddiolchgar o gael datganiad ar hynny yn gynnar yn y flwyddyn newydd i sicrhau bod yr holl systemau trafnidiaeth hyn yn eu lle pan gaiff yr ysbyty newydd ei gomisiynu.
English: Thank you very much to Alun Davies. Of course, he's right to say that public access to the new Grange hospital will be absolutely critical in terms of ensuring that that hospital is able to best meet the needs of the people of the area and to offer opportunities for their families to visit and support them, and so on. I'm pleased that he's had the opportunity to discuss it with the Minister for transport and the Minister for health, but the health Minister has just indicated that he'd be very happy to have a further meeting to discuss the issue in perhaps some more detail at an early opportunity.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i Alun Davies. Wrth gwrs, mae e'n iawn i ddweud y bydd mynediad i'r cyhoedd i ysbyty newydd y Grange yn gwbl hanfodol er mwyn sicrhau bod yr ysbyty hwnnw'n gallu diwallu anghenion pobl yr ardal yn y ffordd orau ac yn cynnig cyfleoedd i'w teuluoedd ymweld â nhw a'u cefnogi, ac ati. Rwy'n falch ei fod wedi cael cyfle i drafod hyn gyda'r Gweinidog Trafnidiaeth a'r Gweinidog Iechyd, ond mae'r Gweinidog Iechyd newydd ddangos i mi y byddai ef yn hapus iawn i gael cyfarfod pellach i drafod y mater yn fanylach, efallai, pan ddaw cyfle yn y dyfodol agos.
English: The next statement will be the statement from the education Minister on the PISA results, and I call on Kirsty Williams to make the statement.
Welsh: Felly, y datganiad nesaf fydd y datganiad hynny gan y Gweinidog addysg ar ganlyniadau PISA, a dwi'n galw ar Kirsty Williams i wneud y datganiad.
English: Can I thank the Minister for her statement, particularly the last bit, when we were talking about what you are planning to do next, which I'm sure will be a subject for debate in time to come? This time three years ago, Minister, you said to my predecessor that
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei datganiad hi, yn enwedig y rhan olaf, yn sôn am yr hyn yr ydych chi'n bwriadu ei wneud nesaf, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd hynny'n destun i ddadl rywbryd eto? Yr adeg hon dair blynedd yn ôl, Gweinidog, fe ddywedoch chi wrth fy rhagflaenydd i
English: I would like to pay tribute to Welsh pupils for all of their hard work, as well as to thank all the staff and teachers for their unstinting efforts in ensuring that our young people do achieve. The PISA international tests are one way of measuring progress, but we must use the data wisely, and I look forward to having an opportunity to analyse the content carefully over the next few days and weeks, and will also seek the views of educational experts on these latest results.
Welsh: Hoffwn innau dalu teyrnged i ddisgyblion Cymru am eu holl waith caled, yn ogystal â diolch i'r holl staff ac athrawon am eu hymdrechion diflino i sicrhau bod ein pobl ifanc ni yn cyflawni. Mae profion rhyngwladol PISA yn un ffordd o fesur cynnydd, ond mae'n rhaid defnyddio'r data'n ddoeth, a dwi'n edrych ymlaen at gael cyfle i ddadansoddi'r cynnwys yn ofalus dros y dyddiau a'r wythnosau nesaf ac i weld beth ydy barn arbenigwyr addysgol ar y canlyniadau diweddaraf yma.
English: Can I, Presiding Officer, thank Mark Reckless for his acknowledgement of the efforts of staff and students in achieving these results today? If I could start with that last point first, I don't know which schools did PISA. Some people find that extraordinary, but that actually is part of the rules of engagement. I can't tell you which schools did and which schools didn't do PISA. So, we don't facilitate an ongoing working relationship with individual schools and the OECD. The OECD works at a system-to-system level, and so I have only, in the last couple of days, received the report from the OECD - again, that's part of the rules of engagement.
Welsh: A gaf i, Llywydd, ddiolch i Mark Reckless am iddo gydnabod ymdrechion y staff a'r myfyrwyr wrth ennill y canlyniadau hyn heddiw? Pe caf i ddechrau gyda'r pwynt olaf yn gyntaf, nid wyf i'n gwybod pa ysgolion a safodd y profion PISA. Mae rhai pobl yn rhyfeddu at hynny, ond mae hynny'n rhan o'r amodau. Ni allaf ddweud wrthych pa ysgolion a safodd a pha ysgolion na safodd y profion PISA. Felly, nid ydym yn hwyluso perthynas waith barhaus gydag ysgolion unigol a'r OECD. Mae'r OECD yn gweithio ar lefel system i system, ac felly, newydd gael yr adroddiad gan yr OCED yr ydw i yn ystod y dyddiau diwethaf - unwaith eto, mae hynny'n rhan o'r amodau.
English: Item 4 on the agenda this afternoon is a statement by the Minister for Economy and Transport on disabled people's employment. I call on the Minister for Economy and Transport, Ken Skates.
Welsh: Eitem 4 ar yr agenda y prynhawn yma yw datganiad gan Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth ynglŷn â chyflogaeth pobl anabl. Galwaf ar y Gweinidog Economi a Thrafnidiaeth, Ken Skates.
English: - I'm conscious that's even supported my own daughter in work. And finally, if I may - one final question.
Welsh: - rwy'n ymwybodol bod hynny hyd yn oed wedi cefnogi fy merch fy hun mewn gwaith. Ac yn olaf, os caf i - un cwestiwn terfynol.
English: One final - . Yes, that's fine.
Welsh: Un olaf - . Ydy, mae hynny'n iawn.
English: How are you working with key third sector bodies that are also working with the DWP, such as the Autism Directory in Treforest, working with the DWP on an autism employment programme, and Oxfam Cymru, working with the DWP on embedding their sustainable livelihood approach to equip DWP staff with the skills needed to deliver person-centred service, moving away from short-term fixes that trap individuals in a revolving door of being in and out of work and therefore poverty? Diolch.
Welsh: Sut ydych chi'n gweithio gyda chyrff allweddol yn y trydydd sector sydd hefyd yn gweithio gyda'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau, megis y Cyfeirlyfr Awtistiaeth yn Nhrefforest, sy'n gweithio gyda'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau ar raglen cyflogaeth awtistiaeth, ac Oxfam Cymru, sy'n gweithio gyda'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau i wreiddio eu dull o fywoliaethau cynaliadwy i sicrhau bod gan staff yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau y sgiliau sydd eu hangen i ddarparu gwasanaeth sy'n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn, gan symud oddi wrth atebion tymor byr sy'n caethiwo unigolion mewn sefyllfa gyson o fod yn gweithio ac yna'n ddi-waith, ac felly mewn tlodi? Diolch.
English: Item 5 is a statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: A Healthier Wales - an update on the 'Train. Work. Live.' campaign. And I call on the Minister for Health and Social Services, Vaughan Gething.
Welsh: Eitem 5 yw datganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol: Cymru Iachach - y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am yr ymgyrch 'Hyfforddi. Gweithio. Byw.' A galwaf ar y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Vaughan Gething.
English: On the final point, I had some interaction with the health service before I came to this place, both as a patient but also as a professional, and lots of that was actually - not just within the health service, but on a wide range of areas in the public sector and the private sector - on the business of making reasonable adjustments, to see the continuing value in staff, regardless of their mental or physical health, but to actually see what they can do, and to see that as a real benefit and not to lose sight of the experience of those people.
Welsh: O ran y pwynt olaf, bûm yn ymwneud rywfaint â'r gwasanaeth iechyd cyn dod i'r fan yma, yn glaf ond hefyd yn weithiwr proffesiynol, ac roedd llawer o hynny mewn gwirionedd - nid yn unig o fewn y gwasanaeth iechyd, ond mewn ystod eang o feysydd yn y sector cyhoeddus a'r sector preifat - yn ymwneud â'r busnes o wneud addasiadau rhesymol, i weld y gwerth parhaus mewn staff, beth bynnag fo'u hiechyd meddyliol neu gorfforol, ond i weld beth y gallant ei wneud mewn gwirionedd, ac i weld hynny fel budd gwirioneddol a pheidio â cholli golwg ar brofiad y bobl hynny.
English: The Minister will be aware that I met with Gelligaer practice to discuss the closure of Gilfach surgery, and one of the issues they raised was that it wasn't just a shortage of GPs in the area that was causing them to struggle with the Government's approach to the primary care model, but also a shortage of other professionals in mental health, paramedics, and the rest. Therefore this campaign - and I think you've said that you wish to expand it into a recruitment campaign for all kinds of professionals, including nurses and pharmacists - is welcome. The question I'd simply put is: does the Minister believe that this campaign will lead to the easier fulfilment of the primary care approach that he is pioneering, and does he believe that GPs are engaging fully with that approach?
Welsh: Bydd y Gweinidog yn ymwybodol imi gyfarfod â phractis Gelligaer i drafod cau meddygfa'r Gilfach, ac un o'r materion a godwyd ganddynt oedd nad prinder meddygon teulu yn yr ardal yn unig oedd yn peri iddynt frwydro yn erbyn dull y Llywodraeth o ran y model gofal sylfaenol, ond hefyd prinder gweithwyr proffesiynol eraill ym maes iechyd meddwl, parafeddygon, a'r gweddill. Felly, mae'r ymgyrch hon - a chredaf eich bod wedi dweud eich bod am ei hehangu'n ymgyrch recriwtio ar gyfer pob math o weithwyr proffesiynol, gan gynnwys nyrsys a fferyllwyr - i'w chroesawu. Y cwestiwn y byddwn i'n ei ofyn yn syml yw: a yw'r Gweinidog yn credu y bydd yr ymgyrch hon yn ei gwneud hi'n haws cyflawni'r dull gofal sylfaenol y mae'n ei arloesi, ac a yw'n credu bod meddygon teulu yn ymgysylltu'n llawn â'r dull gweithredu hwnnw?
English: Item 6 on the agenda is a statement by the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs on the food and drink Wales cluster network. I call on the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs - Lesley Griffiths.
Welsh: Eitem 6 ar yr agenda yw datganiad gan Weinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig ar rwydwaith clwstwr bwyd a diod Cymru. Galwaf ar Weinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig - Lesley Griffiths.
English: Thank you very much, Minister, and that brings today's proceedings to a close. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Gweinidog, ac mae hynny'n dod â thrafodion heddiw i ben. Diolch.
English: Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Plenary session.
Welsh: Prynhawn da, bawb, a chroeso i'r Cyfarfod Llawn.
English: The first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport. Question 1, Hefin David.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf ar ein hagenda y prynhawn yma yw cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth. Cwestiwn 1, Hefin David.
English: Yes, of course. In the short term, Transport for Wales is proposing to utilise class 769 rolling stock on the Rhymney line until new rolling stock starts to be introduced in 2023, and this will then enable it to increase the service frequency further, as part of the metro transformation.
Welsh: Gwnaf, wrth gwrs. Yn y tymor byr, mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn cynnig defnyddio cerbydau dosbarth 769 ar reilffordd Rhymni hyd nes bod cerbydau newydd yn dechrau cael eu cyflwyno yn 2023, a bydd hyn wedyn yn eu galluogi i gynyddu amlder y gwasanaeth, fel rhan o drawsnewidiad y metro.
English: Following discussions with constituents about the use of the line and following the debate we had two weeks ago, I met with Transport for Wales officials last week to talk about some of the overcrowding issues and some of the problems with services. And we also talked about derogation from the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, and as a result of that, because Parliament isn't currently sitting, I've written to Grant Shapps - this letter here - to ask for fast derogation from the Act. Could the Minister provide us with an update on how that is going, but also can we get a definitive explanation now of how many more trains will be on the line next year and how capacity will be enhanced in the next two years? I think it's important we put that absolutely on the record and for clarity.
Welsh: Yn dilyn trafodaethau gydag etholwyr ynghylch y defnydd o'r rheilffordd ac yn dilyn y ddadl a gawsom bythefnos yn ôl, cyfarfûm â swyddogion Trafnidiaeth Cymru yr wythnos diwethaf i drafod rhai o'r problemau gorlenwi a rhai o'r problemau gyda gwasanaethau. A buom hefyd yn siarad am randdirymu Deddf Gwahaniaethu ar sail Anabledd 1995, ac o ganlyniad i hynny, gan nad yw'r Senedd yn eistedd ar hyn o bryd, rwyf wedi ysgrifennu at Grant Shapps - y llythyr hwn - i ofyn am randdirymu'r Ddeddf yn gyflym. A allai'r Gweinidog roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf inni ynglŷn â hynny, ond hefyd, a gawn ni ateb pendant yn awr ynglŷn â faint yn rhagor o drenau a fydd ar y rheilffordd y flwyddyn nesaf a sut y bydd capasiti yn gwella yn ystod y ddwy flynedd nesaf? Credaf ei bod yn bwysig ein bod yn cofnodi hynny'n bendant ac er eglurder.
English: Further to Hefin's question, news that the provision of rolling stock to boost the capacity of Valleys lines has been delayed has left passengers frustrated and dismayed in the south Wales Valleys. Overcrowding is a serious problem, and passenger numbers on the Valleys lines are increasing 7 per cent year on year. Minister, can you update the Assembly when you expect Transport for Wales to put the new rolling stock? You've just mentioned additional ones by next year and 2023. I think it's getting too late for this sort of thing to improve, but what is the hindrance there of getting the rolling stock into service, and can you advise what discussion you have had with TfW with regard to easing the overcrowding that already exists in the south-east Wales Valleys lines and other parts? Thank you.
Welsh: Gan ychwanegu at gwestiwn Hefin, mae'r newyddion fod y ddarpariaeth o gerbydau i gynyddu capasiti rheilffyrdd y Cymoedd wedi'i gohirio wedi golygu bod teithwyr yng Nghymoedd de Cymru'n teimlo'n rhwystredig ac yn siomedig. Mae gorlenwi'n broblem ddifrifol, ac mae nifer y teithwyr ar reilffyrdd y Cymoedd yn cynyddu 7 y cant bob blwyddyn. Weinidog, a allwch roi diweddariad i'r Cynulliad ynghylch pryd rydych yn disgwyl i Trafnidiaeth Cymru roi'r cerbydau newydd ar waith? Rydych newydd sôn am rai ychwanegol erbyn y flwyddyn nesaf a 2023. Credaf ei bod yn mynd yn rhy hwyr i'r math hwn o beth wella, ond beth yw'r rhwystr rhag gallu rhoi'r cerbydau ar waith, ac a allwch ddweud wrthym pa drafodaeth rydych wedi'i chael gyda Trafnidiaeth Cymru ynglŷn â lliniaru'r problemau gorlenwi sydd eisoes yn bodoli ar reilffyrdd Cymoedd de-ddwyrain Cymru ac mewn mannau eraill? Diolch.
