English: I thank David Melding for his questions, and I recall that I wasn't aware that he was shy in coming forward in the previous Assembly with his views at any stage, and I think he maximised the opportunity, but I'm very pleased that there are even more opportunities now for Chairs and for committees as well to inform the Assembly. I think he raises an important point around tracking changes from year to year and being able to see the effectiveness, as I would put it, of Government programmes. I don't think the Finance Committee is an accounts committee, and I think we are better when we don't, possibly, look at it as an accounting way, but rather look at the global sums - or, rather, fairly headline sums - and look at the effectiveness of spend, and whether what the Government says it intends to do has sufficient resources to deliver on that. But I certainly agree that, as we move to this new process, we need to understand under our Standing Orders how we can follow the pennies, or at least the tens or the hundreds of millions, and how they might be done in a way that makes sense, as we see, for example, when a programme changes ministerial responsibility, that it can then disappear from a particular line and it's very difficult to see. I think David Melding put his finger on a couple of other key ways we can do this, which is to look and track cross-cutting issues. You mentioned mental health and looked-after children; I would agree with those. I would also add to the mix, from the perspective of the Chair of the committee, the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, which is now entrusted to the Minister who most reports to this committee, but which, of course, is designed to affect Government spending and the way that Government resources are used right across the board, and it doesn't fall easily within one committee. So, I think there's a role for something like the Finance Committee to take an overview of things like the future generations Act and similar 'well-intentioned but let's see how they deliver' kind of objectives from Government. Really, it then comes down to whether resources are being put behind that which the Government says it wants to achieve under, say, its six or seven objectives or whatever it might be under a Bill, or an Act as it becomes then. That's a clear way that the Finance Committee can help and assist other committees without trespassing on other committees' responsibilities.
Welsh: Diolch i David Melding am ei gwestiynau, a chofiaf nad oeddwn yn ymwybodol ei fod yn gyndyn i roi ei farn yn y Cynulliad blaenorol ar unrhyw adeg, a chredaf ei fod wedi gwneud y gorau o'r cyfle, ond rwy'n falch iawn fod mwy o gyfleoedd eto yn awr i Gadeiryddion a phwyllgorau hysbysu'r Cynulliad. Credaf ei fod yn nodi pwynt pwysig ynghylch olrhain newidiadau o flwyddyn i flwyddyn a gallu gweld pa mor effeithiol, fel y byddwn yn ei roi, yw rhaglenni'r Llywodraeth. Nid wyf yn credu mai pwyllgor cyfrifon yw'r Pwyllgor Cyllid, a chredaf ein bod yn well, o bosibl, pan nad ydym yn edrych arno fel ffordd o gadw cyfrifon, ond edrych yn hytrach ar y symiau cyffredinol - neu'n hytrach, y symiau gweddol flaenllaw - ac edrych ar effeithiolrwydd y gwariant, ac a oes digon o adnoddau ar gael i'r Llywodraeth gyflawni'r hyn y mae'n dweud ei bod yn bwriadu ei wneud. Ond rwy'n sicr yn cytuno, wrth i ni symud at y broses newydd hon, fod angen i ni ddeall, o dan ein Rheolau Sefydlog, sut y gallwn ddilyn y ceiniogau, neu o leiaf y degau neu gannoedd o filiynau, a sut y gellid gwneud hynny mewn ffordd sy'n gwneud synnwyr, gan ein bod yn gweld, er enghraifft, pan fydd y cyfrifoldeb gweinidogol am raglen yn newid, y gall ddiflannu o linell benodol a bod yn anodd iawn ei weld. Credaf fod David Melding wedi rhoi ei fys ar un neu ddwy o ffyrdd allweddol eraill y gallwn wneud hyn, sef ystyried ac olrhain materion trawsbynciol. Fe sonioch am iechyd meddwl a phlant sy'n derbyn gofal; cytunaf â hynny. O safbwynt Cadeirydd y pwyllgor, byddwn hefyd yn ychwanegu Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015 at hynny, deddf sydd bellach yn gyfrifoldeb i'r Gweinidog sy'n adrodd fwyaf i'r pwyllgor hwn, ond sydd, wrth gwrs, wedi ei chynllunio i effeithio ar wariant y Llywodraeth a'r ffordd y caiff adnoddau'r Llywodraeth eu defnyddio yn gyffredinol, ac nid yw'n perthyn yn hwylus i un pwyllgor. Felly, credaf fod rôl i rywbeth fel y Pwyllgor Cyllid gael trosolwg ar bethau fel Deddf cenedlaethau'r dyfodol ac amcanion tebyg gan y Llywodraeth sydd 'â bwriadau da, ond gadewch i ni weld sut y maent yn cyflawni'. Mewn gwirionedd, mae'n ymwneud wedyn â pha un a yw'r Llywodraeth yn rhoi adnoddau tuag at yr hyn y mae'n dweud y dymuna ei gyflawni, o dan, dyweder, ei chwech neu saith amcan neu beth bynnag y bydd o dan Fil, neu Ddeddf fel y'i gelwir wedyn. Mae honno'n un ffordd glir y gall y Pwyllgor Cyllid helpu a chynorthwyo pwyllgorau eraill heb dresmasu ar gyfrifoldebau pwyllgorau eraill.
