English: I'm looking for a statement, business Minister, from the education Minister, please. With time now running out with one of the biggest seismic changes in education for a generation, I'm concerned about what I'm hearing on the ground amongst teaching staff - how unprepared they feel at the moment due to the multiple disruptions because of restrictions, and of concerns about the distinct lack of support or direction in these final stages of the new curriculum preparations now, in the last key months before it begins. Quite simply, some teachers are now buckling under the pressure that they're facing. So, can we please have an oral statement from the education Minister addressing these concerns, and may I ask for clarity about this final stage now of preparation, with a focus on, if possible, how far subsidiarity - the bedrock on which our new curriculum is built - can be stretched at school level, an update of what the professional learning offer will be, and for clarity on what future qualifications will look like? Many thanks.
Welsh: Rwy'n gofyn am ddatganiad, Gweinidog busnes, gan y Gweinidog addysg, os gwelwch yn dda. Wrth i amser ddirwyn i ben o ran un o'r newidiadau seismig mwyaf mewn addysg ers cenhedlaeth, rwy'n pryderu ynghylch yr hyn rwy'n ei glywed ar lawr gwlad ymhlith staff addysgu - cyn lleied y maen nhw'n teimlo eu bod yn barod ar hyn o bryd oherwydd y tarfu mynych yn sgil y cyfyngiadau, a phryderon am y diffyg cefnogaeth neu gyfeiriad amlwg yn y camau terfynol hyn o baratoadau'r cwricwlwm newydd yn awr, yn ystod y misoedd allweddol diwethaf cyn iddo ddechrau. Yn syml iawn, mae rhai athrawon bellach yn plygu o dan y pwysau y maen nhw'n eu hwynebu. Felly, a gawn ni ddatganiad llafar gan y Gweinidog addysg i fynd i'r afael â'r pryderon hyn, ac a gaf i ofyn am eglurder ynghylch y cam paratoi olaf hwn yn awr, gan ganolbwyntio, os yw'n bosibl, ar i ba raddau y mae modd ymestyn sybsidiaredd - y sylfaen y mae ein cwricwlwm newydd wedi ei hadeiladu arni - ar lefel yr ysgol, y diweddaraf am beth fydd y cynnig dysgu proffesiynol, ac am eglurder ynghylch sut y bydd cymwysterau yn edrych yn y dyfodol? Llawer o ddiolch.
English: Thank you. Well, throughout the pandemic, our priority has absolutely been to maximise learning and minimise disruption for our young people. But, clearly, over the past nearly two years now, we have seen some disruption, but work to prepare for the new curriculum has continued. The Minister has made funding available, and, obviously, as you say, we're entering the last period now ahead of the introduction of the new curriculum. And if the Minister for education does have any new information, I will ask him to bring forward a written statement.
Welsh: Diolch. Wel, drwy gydol y pandemig, mae ein blaenoriaeth ni wedi bod yn llwyr i sicrhau dysgu gymaint â phosibl a lleihau'r tarfu ar ein pobl ifanc gymaint â phosibl. Ond, yn amlwg, yn ystod y bron i ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf erbyn hyn, rydym ni wedi gweld rhywfaint o darfu, ond mae gwaith i baratoi ar gyfer y cwricwlwm newydd wedi parhau. Mae'r Gweinidog wedi sicrhau bod cyllid ar gael, ac, yn amlwg, fel y gwnaethoch chi ei ddweud, rydym ni'n dechrau ar y cyfnod olaf bellach cyn cyflwyno'r cwricwlwm newydd. Ac os oes gan y Gweinidog addysg unrhyw wybodaeth newydd, byddaf i'n gofyn iddo gyflwyno datganiad ysgrifenedig.
English: Minister, today my business statement will be in two parts, if that's okay, the first in relation to the delay in publishing the Welsh Government's accounts. As much as I enjoy sitting on the Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee with colleagues from various parties, as well as with our brilliant clerks and researchers, it's evident that this delay is hindering the work of the public accounts committee in scrutinising and holding the Welsh Government to account. I understand the reason for this delay is the need to finalise one single item, and I am concerned that, unless this is done quickly, it could cause a backlog of work and add to the burdens of the committee staff. Therefore, I should be grateful for a statement on this at the earliest opportunity. Secondly, Minister, the Senedd this week is debating increases in the cost of living, and a key factor in this is energy costs, which many of my colleagues have mentioned in their questions to the First Minister. The Welsh Government's Nest scheme offers a package of home energy efficiency improvements to lower energy bills. And as I've mentioned, the First Minister touched on that earlier. However, Minister, there are no specific grants for solar panels in Wales. So, can I please have a statement from the Minister for Climate Change on what consideration is being given to a scheme to provide grants for solar panels to be installed on domestic properties in Wales to help people with their fuel bills? Thank you so much.
Welsh: Gweinidog, bydd fy natganiad busnes mewn dwy ran heddiw, os yw hynny'n iawn, bydd y gyntaf yn ymwneud â'r oedi wrth gyhoeddi cyfrifon Llywodraeth Cymru. Er fy mod i'n mwynhau eistedd ar y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus a Gweinyddiaeth Gyhoeddus gyda chyd-Aelodau o wahanol bleidiau, yn ogystal â gyda'n clercod a'n hymchwilwyr gwych, mae'n amlwg bod yr oedi hwn yn llesteirio gwaith y pwyllgor cyfrifon cyhoeddus wrth graffu ar Lywodraeth Cymru a'i dwyn i gyfrif. Rwy'n deall mai'r rheswm dros yr oedi hwn yw'r angen i gwblhau un eitem unigol, ac rwyf i'n pryderu, os na chaiff hynny ei wneud yn gyflym, y gallai achosi ôl-groniad o waith ac ychwanegu at feichiau staff y pwyllgor. Felly, byddwn i'n ddiolchgar am ddatganiad ar hyn cyn gynted â phosibl. Yn ail, Gweinidog, mae'r Senedd yn trafod yr wythnos hon gynnydd i'r gost byw, ac un ffactor allweddol yn hyn o beth yw costau ynni, y mae llawer o fy nghyd-Aelodau wedi sôn amdanyn nhw yn eu cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog. Mae cynllun Nyth Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynnig pecyn o welliannau effeithlonrwydd ynni cartref i leihau biliau ynni. Ac fel yr wyf i wedi sôn, cyfeiriodd y Prif Weinidog at hynny'n gynharach. Fodd bynnag, Gweinidog, nid oes unrhyw grantiau penodol ar gyfer paneli solar yng Nghymru. Felly, a gaf i ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd ynghylch pa ystyriaeth sy'n cael ei rhoi i gynllun i ddarparu grantiau i baneli solar gael eu gosod ar eiddo domestig yng Nghymru i helpu pobl gyda'u biliau tanwydd? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: Well, the first matter you raised is a matter for the Permanent Secretary, and not any Minister. So, I'm afraid that there won't be a statement coming forward in relation to that. You're quite right; I think the Nest scheme is one of the best schemes that the Welsh Government have. Your specific request around solar panels - certainly, speaking as a previous energy Minister, obviously, with the removal of the tariff by the UK Government, I know many local authorities that were looking to bring solar panels forward changed their view because of that. So, I don't think that would be appropriate for a statement either.
Welsh: Wel, mater i'r Ysgrifennydd Parhaol yw'r mater cyntaf y gwnaethoch ei godi, ac nid unrhyw Weinidog. Felly, mae arnaf i ofn na fydd datganiad yn cael ei gyflwyno mewn cysylltiad â hynny. Rydych chi'n hollol gywir; rwy'n credu mai cynllun Nyth yw un o'r cynlluniau gorau sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru. O ran eich cais penodol ynghylch paneli solar - yn sicr, wrth siarad fel Gweinidog ynni blaenorol, yn amlwg, gyda Llywodraeth y DU yn dileu'r tariff, rwy'n gwybod bod llawer o awdurdodau lleol a oedd yn ceisio cyflwyno paneli solar wedi newid eu barn oherwydd hynny. Felly, nid wyf i'n credu y byddai hynny'n briodol ar gyfer datganiad chwaith.
English: Minister, last month, I was delighted to donate three defibrillators - two to primary schools in Bridgend and one to Brynawel rehab centre. And it is to highlight, really, yet again the importance of building our Wales-wide network and number of defibrillators in the fight to save lives. Can the Government, as part of this ongoing mission, also commit to reviving progress within the next 12 months to ensure we retain a national focus on this and also schedule time in the Senedd to consider what further steps need to be taken? Thank you, Minister.
Welsh: Gweinidog, fis diwethaf, roeddwn i'n falch iawn o roi tri diffibriliwr - dau i ysgolion cynradd ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr ac un i ganolfan adsefydlu Brynawel. A dyma dynnu sylw, mewn gwirionedd, unwaith eto at bwysigrwydd datblygu ein rhwydwaith Cymru gyfan a nifer y diffibrilwyr yn y frwydr i achub bywydau. A all y Llywodraeth, yn rhan o'r ymgyrch barhaus hon, ymrwymo hefyd i adolygu cynnydd o fewn y 12 mis nesaf er mwyn sicrhau ein bod ni'n cadw pwyslais cenedlaethol ar hyn a threfnu amser yn y Senedd hefyd i ystyried pa gamau eraill y mae angen eu cymryd? Diolch, Gweinidog.
English: Thank you, and I commend the Member - I saw on his Twitter account the work he's done in relation to providing defibrillators. Increasing the number of defibrillators in the community is a key component of the work, I'm sure he's aware, of the Save a Life Cymru partnership. On 15 September, the Minister for Health and Social Services did announce a further £0.5 million allocated to the Welsh ambulance service to purchase almost 500 more defibrillators, and I know there are community groups and organisations that have been able to apply for that funding. But I think - . You touched on a really important thing, and it is important that we build that network of defibrillators.
Welsh: Diolch, ac rwy'n cymeradwyo'r Aelod - gwelais ar ei gyfrif Twitter y gwaith y mae wedi ei wneud o ran darparu diffibrilwyr. Rwy'n siŵr ei fod yn ymwybodol bod cynyddu nifer y diffibrilwyr yn y gymuned yn elfen allweddol o waith y bartneriaeth Achub Bywyd Cymru. Ar 15 Medi, fe wnaeth y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol gyhoeddi £0.5 miliwn arall wedi ei ddyrannu i wasanaeth ambiwlans Cymru i brynu bron i 500 yn fwy o ddiffibrilwyr, ac rwy'n gwybod bod grwpiau a sefydliadau cymunedol wedi gallu gwneud cais am y cyllid hwnnw. Ond rwy'n credu - . Fe wnaethoch chi gyfeirio at beth pwysig iawn, ac mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n datblygu'r rhwydwaith hwnnw o ddiffibrilwyr.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Please could I have a statement from the Minister for Climate Change on actions to boost house building in Wales? During the last financial year, the number of new dwellings commenced fell by 31 per cent to 4,314. The number of homes completed fell by 24 per cent to 4,616. The number of new homes coming to market is on a downward decline to considerably less than the 12,000 target we should be building in Wales annually. This week, Rightmove have disclosed that there were just 12 properties available for sale per estate agency branch and that the average time to find a buyer was two weeks shorter in December 2021 compared with the previous year. As Rightmove has warned, house prices will continue to rise until more choice becomes available on the market, so really we need to stop the stall of new builds in Wales. So, would the Minister for Climate Change make an oral statement on this matter? Because I know my colleague James Evans has raised the issue earlier about the phosphates and the gridlock that we've got now in new homes coming forward. So, if we could have a statement on that, I think it would be for the benefit of the Senedd. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. A gaf i ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd ar gamau i hybu adeiladu tai yng Nghymru? Yn ystod y flwyddyn ariannol ddiwethaf, gostyngodd nifer yr anheddau newydd 31 y cant i 4,314. Gostyngodd nifer y cartrefi a gafodd eu cwblhau 24 y cant i 4,616. Mae nifer y cartrefi newydd sy'n dod i'r farchnad ar duedd tuag i lawr i gryn dipyn yn llai na'r targed o 12,000 y dylem ni fod yn eu hadeiladu yng Nghymru bob blwyddyn. Yr wythnos hon, mae Rightmove wedi datgelu mai dim ond 12 o eiddo oedd ar gael i'w gwerthu fesul cangen asiantaeth dai a bod yr amser cyfartalog i ddod o hyd i brynwr bythefnos yn fyrrach ym mis Rhagfyr 2021 o'i gymharu â'r flwyddyn flaenorol. Fel y mae Rightmove wedi ei rybuddio, bydd prisiau tai yn parhau i godi nes y bydd mwy o ddewis ar gael ar y farchnad, felly mae angen gwirioneddol i ni atal yr oedi o ran adeiladau newydd yng Nghymru. Felly, a wnaiff y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd roi datganiad llafar ar y mater hwn? Gan fy mod i'n gwybod bod fy nghyd-Aelod James Evans wedi codi'r mater yn gynharach am y ffosffadau a'r tagfeydd sydd gennym ni bellach yn y cartrefi newydd sy'n cael eu cyflwyno. Felly, os byddai modd i ni gael datganiad ar hynny, rwy'n credu y byddai er budd y Senedd. Diolch.
English: The Member will be aware of our programme for government commitment in relation to house building. Whilst I do appreciate we have seen a drop, obviously the COVID pandemic will have had an impact on that, so we do hope that once we come out of the restrictions et cetera we will see more houses being built, because clearly that has had an impact. The issue that James Evans raised with the First Minister was very specific and you will have heard the First Minister's answer to his question.
Welsh: Bydd yr Aelod yn ymwybodol o'n hymrwymiad yn y rhaglen lywodraethu sy'n ymwneud ag adeiladu tai. Er fy mod i yn sylweddoli ein bod ni wedi gweld gostyngiad, mae'n amlwg y bydd pandemig COVID wedi cael effaith ar hynny, felly rydym ni yn gobeithio, pan fyddwn ni'n dod allan o'r cyfyngiadau ac yn y blaen, y byddwn ni'n gweld mwy o dai yn cael eu hadeiladu, oherwydd yn amlwg bod hynny wedi cael effaith. Roedd y mater y cododd James Evans â'r Prif Weinidog yn benodol iawn a byddwch chi wedi clywed ateb y Prif Weinidog i'w gwestiwn.
English: The next item therefore is the statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services on COVID-19. I call on the Minister to make her statement - Eluned Morgan.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf felly yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ar COVID-19. A dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog i wneud ei datganiad - Eluned Morgan.
English: Can I thank the Minister for her earlier briefing to me and colleagues? That was appreciated, Minister. And, of course, thank you for your statement today, much of which, of course, we know from the press conference last Friday from the First Minister.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei sesiwn friffio yn gynharach i mi a fy nghyd-Aelodau? Roedd hynny wedi ei werthfawrogi, Gweinidog. Ac, wrth gwrs, diolch i chi am eich datganiad heddiw, yr oedd llawer ohono yn hysbys i ni, wrth gwrs, o'r gynhadledd i'r wasg ddydd Gwener diwethaf gan y Prif Weinidog.
English: Thank you, Minister. Only two contributions this afternoon. So, thank you for that.
Welsh: Dyna ni, Gweinidog. Dim ond dau gyfraniad y prynhawn yma. Felly, diolch ichi.
English: The next item is the statement by the Minister for Economy on stronger regional economies. I call on the Minister to make his statement. Vaughan Gething.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf yw'r datganiad gan Weinidog yr Economi ar economïau rhanbarthol cryfach. Dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog i wneud ei ddatganiad. Vaughan Gething.
English: I have nine Members wishing to speak, so with your help, and with the well-known ability of the Minister to be succinct in his answers, I hope to call you all.
Welsh: Mae gennyf i naw Aelod sy'n dymuno siarad, ac felly gyda'ch help chi, a chyda gallu tra hysbys y Gweinidog i roi atebion cryno, rwy'n gobeithio galw arnoch chi i gyd.
English: I very much welcome the statement. The four regions of Wales, as well as being similar to the ancient kingdoms, have the opportunity to develop regional policy in Wales. I support the framework's priorities and the city and growth deals, the three-way investment agreements, designed to deliver lasting regional economic growth, including the region I live in. I strongly support the creation of stronger and dynamic regions at the heart of creating a stronger, fairer, greener Welsh economy. I am very pleased that the four city and regional deals are now under way. The Minister and I have recently engaged in correspondence regarding life sciences. I have three questions. How do we turn the world-class life science research at Welsh universities into greater high-quality employment? Some economic sectors, such as information and communications technology and computer games, are not constrained by geography. How do we further develop these? And the third one is: how can the universities in each region help drive economic prosperity in their regions?
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'r datganiad yn fawr iawn. Mae pedwar rhanbarth Cymru, yn ogystal â bod yn debyg i'r teyrnasoedd hynafol, yn cael cyfle i ddatblygu polisi rhanbarthol yng Nghymru. Rwy'n cefnogi blaenoriaethau'r fframwaith a'r bargeinion dinesig a thwf, y cytundebau buddsoddi tair ffordd, a gynlluniwyd i sicrhau twf economaidd rhanbarthol parhaol, gan gynnwys y rhanbarth yr wyf i'n byw ynddo. Rwy'n llwyr gefnogi'r broses o greu rhanbarthau cryfach a deinamig i fod wrth hanfod creu economi sy'n gryfach, yn decach a gwyrddach yng Nghymru. Rwy'n falch iawn fod y pedair bargen ddinesig a rhanbarthol ar y gweill erbyn hyn. Mae'r Gweinidog a minnau wedi cymryd rhan yn ddiweddar mewn gohebiaeth ynghylch gwyddorau bywyd. Mae gennyf i dri chwestiwn. Sut mae troi'r ymchwil gwyddor bywyd o'r radd flaenaf sydd i'w weld ym mhrifysgolion Cymru yn fwy o gyfleoedd ar gyfer cyflogaeth o ansawdd uchel? Nid yw rhai sectorau economaidd, fel technoleg gwybodaeth a chyfathrebu a gemau cyfrifiadurol, yn cael eu cyfyngu gan ddaearyddiaeth. Sut mae datblygu'r rhain ymhellach? A'r trydydd yw: sut y gall y prifysgolion ym mhob rhanbarth helpu i ysgogi ffyniant economaidd yn eu rhanbarthau nhw?
English: Thank you, Minister, for your statement.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog, am eich datganiad.
English: Alun, you need to conclude, because we need time.
Welsh: Alun, mae angen i chi orffen siarad, oherwydd mae angen yr amser arnom ni.
English: I would like to see a report from the Government on how far they went in delivering on those objectives and those targets at the end of the last Senedd. So, what's going to be different this time, Minister?
Welsh: Fe hoffwn weld adroddiad gan y Llywodraeth ar ba mor bell yr aethon nhw o ran cyflawni'r amcanion hynny a'r nodau hynny ar ddiwedd y Senedd ddiwethaf. Felly, beth sydd am fod yn wahanol y tro hwn, Gweinidog?
English: We've reached the end of our time allocation, but I have three speakers left. I want to call them all, so, please, can everybody remaining make sure that they are succinct in their contributions? Mabon ap Gwynfor.
Welsh: Rydym ni wedi cyrraedd diwedd ein dyraniad amser, ond mae gen i dri siaradwr ar ôl. Rwyf i eisiau eu galw nhw i gyd, felly, os gwelwch yn dda, a wnaiff pawb sydd ar ôl sicrhau bod eu cyfraniadau yn gryno? Mabon ap Gwynfor.
English: That is, economic growth is dependent on investment in infrastructure. Infrastructure is an economic multiplier, after all. In 2015, the OECD said that there was huge regional imbalance within the United Kingdom, and I'm concerned that the weaknesses of the UK could be reflected here in Wales. For example, rural areas continue to suffer from a lack of provision of broadband and mobile phone networks, as well as other infrastructure weaknesses. Does the Minister therefore agree that we need to ensure that there is significant investment in our infrastructure to see balanced economic growth in all parts of Wales? And finally, does the Minister agree that we should encourage the development of co-operative enterprises and community ownership of local resources to lock money into the local economy and to prevent the extractive economy, ensuring local jobs? Thank you.
Welsh: Hynny ydy, mae'r twf economaidd yn ddibynnol ar fuddsoddiad mewn isadeiledd. Mae isadeiledd yn luosogydd economaidd, wedi'r cyfan. Yn ôl yn 2015, dywedodd yr OECD bod yna anghydbwysedd mawr rhanbarthol yn y Deyrnas Gyfunol, ac mae arnaf i ofn bod yna berig i wendidau'r Deyrnas Gyfunol gael eu hadlewyrchu yma yng Nghymru. Er enghraifft, mae ardaloedd gwledig yn parhau i ddioddef o ddiffyg darpariaeth o fand eang a rhwydwaith ffonau symudol, yn ogystal â gwendidau isadeiledd eraill. Ydy'r Gweinidog felly'n cytuno bod angen sicrhau bod yna fuddsoddiad sylweddol yn ein hisadeiledd er mwyn gweld twf economaidd cytbwys ym mhob rhanbarth o Gymru? Ac yn olaf, ydy'r Gweinidog yn cytuno y dylid cefnogi datblygu mentrau cydweithredol a pherchnogaeth cymunedol ar adnoddau lleol er mwyn cloi pres i mewn i'r economi leol ac atal yr economi echdynnol, gan sicrhau swyddi yn lleol? Diolch.
English: To answer as briefly as possible, given the Deputy Presiding Officer's instructions: yes, I do believe we need to continue to invest in infrastructure, including digital infrastructure, to enable what are not so much new ways of working, but standard ways of working that already exist in large parts of Wales, to make sure that access to those opportunities is practically provided in communities right across the country, and - . Sorry, I've forgotten your second question.
Welsh: I ateb mor fyr â phosibl, yn unol â chyfarwyddyd y Dirprwy Lywydd: ydw, rwyf i yn credu bod angen i ni barhau i fuddsoddi mewn seilwaith, gan gynnwys seilwaith digidol, i alluogi'r hyn nad ydyn nhw o reidrwydd yn ffyrdd newydd o weithio, ond yn ffyrdd safonol o weithio sydd eisoes yn bodoli mewn rhannau helaeth o Gymru, i sicrhau bod ffyrdd o fanteisio ar y cyfleoedd hynny yn cael eu darparu yn ymarferol mewn cymunedau ledled y wlad, ac - . Mae'n ddrwg gen i, rwyf i wedi anghofio eich ail gwestiwn.
English: Co-operative enterprises under local ownership.
Welsh: Mentrau cydweithredol o dan berchnogaeth lleol.
English: Yes, sorry, yes. And actually, I expect to meet the ambitions we set out to double the size of the co-op economy in Wales. The conversations that I committed to have with Huw Irranca-Davies following a previous debate with him following a legislative proposal have not been concluded. We did have a time arranged that had to be put off for COVID reasons. But, yes, I fully intend to meet the commitments I've made - as you'd expect, given that I am a Welsh Labour and Co-operative Member of the Senedd.
Welsh: Ie, mae'n ddrwg gen i, ie. Ac mewn gwirionedd, rwy'n disgwyl cyflawni'r uchelgeisiau y gwnaethom eu pennu i ddyblu maint yr economi gydweithredol yng Nghymru. Nid yw'r sgyrsiau yr ymrwymais i'w cael gyda Huw Irranca-Davies yn dilyn dadl flaenorol ag ef yn dilyn cynnig deddfwriaethol wedi eu cwblhau. Fe wnaethom ni drefnu amser ond bu'n rhaid ei ohirio am resymau COVID. Ond, ydw, rwy'n llwyr fwriadu cyflawni'r ymrwymiadau yr wyf i wedi eu gwneud - fel y byddech chi'n ei ddisgwyl, o gofio fy mod i'n Aelod Llafur Cymru a Chydweithredol o'r Senedd.
