English: Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. In respect of items 10 and 11 taken together, as Members will know, the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 3) (Wales) Regulations 2020 expired on 8 November. From 9 November, the No. 4 regulations impose the restrictions and requirements in response to public health risks arising from coronavirus. And Members will also be aware that the No. 4 regulations must be reviewed by 19 November, at least once between 20 November and 3 December, then again at least one time between 4 December and 17 December, followed by at least once every 21 days after that. The No. 4 regulations will expire on 19 February 2021, unless revoked before that date. The committee considered the No. 4 regulations at our meeting yesterday and our report identified four merits points. The first three noted the justification for any potential interference with human rights, that there has been no formal consultation on the regulations and that only a summary integrated impact assessment has been prepared. Our fourth merits point asked the Welsh Government to set out the evidence that showed that restrictions and requirements should be imposed on a pan-Wales basis. In particular, we asked for evidence to show why areas of Wales with the highest prevalence of COVID-19 should be subject to the easing of restrictions and requirements upon the expiry of the No. 3 regulations. For example, according to data published by Public Health Wales, the number of cases per 100,000 population for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taf were the highest in Wales on 9 November. We note the Welsh Government's response to this point, which was received yesterday after we met. It advises that the evidence for adopting a national approach included data, coupled with advice from the chief medical officer, showing that COVID-19 infections in Wales are geographically widespread, with the majority of local authority areas experiencing increasing trends in confirmed case incidents and percentage of positive testing episodes for COVID-19. I turn now to the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Restrictions) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2020, which we also considered and reported on yesterday. These regulations extend the existing restrictions relating to persons travelling to Wales from Denmark. Members will be aware that, from 4 a.m. on 7 November, both the returning traveller and any member of their household will now be required to isolate for 14 days. Our report identified four technical points relating to defective drafting and inconsistency between the meaning of the English and the Welsh texts. We note the Welsh Government's response to these points, which was received after we met. It advises of the drafting errors that have been rectified and notes that this is being achieved through the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Restrictions) (Amendment) (No. 2) (Wales) Regulations 2020, which were made and laid before the Senedd on 13 November 2020. The Welsh Government's response also advises that there has been no need for recourse to the relevant enforcement powers nor the criminal offence provisions prior to the corrections being made. Our two merits points on the No. 4 regulations noted the lack of consultation on the regulations and raised an issue on human rights. On this point, we noted that the regulations prescribed a more limited set of circumstances in which persons may temporarily leave isolation than are applicable to persons required to isolate other than by reason of having arrived in Wales from Denmark. We therefore ask the Welsh Government to explain the reasoning for this increased interference with individual rights under the Human Rights Act 1998 and the European charter of fundamental rights. In its response, the Welsh Government said that the health risks presented by the possibility of importing a new strain of coronavirus into Wales are, in the Welsh Government's opinion, so severe that the increased interference in the rights of a very small cohort of individuals is proportionate in pursuit of the legitimate aim of protecting public health in Wales, and we just draw these comments to the attention of the Senedd. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. O ran eitemau 10 ac 11 gyda'i gilydd, fel y gŵyr yr Aelodau, daeth Rheoliadau Diogelu Iechyd (Cyfyngiadau Coronafeirws) (Rhif 3) (Cymru) 2020 i ben ar 8 Tachwedd. O 9 Tachwedd ymlaen, mae rheoliadau Rhif 4 yn gosod y cyfyngiadau a'r gofynion mewn ymateb i risgiau iechyd y cyhoedd sy'n deillio o'r coronafeirws. A bydd yr Aelodau hefyd yn ymwybodol bod yn rhaid adolygu rheoliadau Rhif 4 erbyn 19 Tachwedd, o leiaf unwaith rhwng 20 Tachwedd a 3 Rhagfyr, yna eto o leiaf unwaith rhwng 4 Rhagfyr a 17 Rhagfyr, ac yna o leiaf unwaith bob 21 diwrnod ar ôl hynny. Bydd rheoliadau Rhif 4 yn dod i ben ar 19 Chwefror 2021, oni chânt eu dirymu cyn y dyddiad hwnnw. Ystyriodd y pwyllgor reoliadau Rhif 4 yn ein cyfarfod ddoe a nododd ein hadroddiad bedwar pwynt rhinwedd. Nododd y tri cyntaf y cyfiawnhad dros unrhyw ymyrraeth bosibl â hawliau dynol, na fu ymgynghori ffurfiol ar y rheoliadau ac mai dim ond asesiad effaith integredig cryno sydd wedi ei baratoi. Gofynnodd ein pedwerydd pwynt rhinwedd i Lywodraeth Cymru nodi'r dystiolaeth a oedd yn dangos y dylid gosod cyfyngiadau a gofynion ar sail Cymru gyfan. Yn arbennig, fe wnaethom ni ofyn am dystiolaeth i ddangos pam y dylai ardaloedd yng Nghymru sydd â'r nifer fwyaf o achosion o COVID-19 fod yn destun llacio cyfyngiadau a gofynion pan ddaw rheoliadau Rhif 3 i ben. Er enghraifft, yn ôl data a gyhoeddwyd gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, roedd nifer yr achosion fesul 100,000 o'r boblogaeth ar gyfer Merthyr Tudful a Rhondda Cynon Taf yr uchaf yng Nghymru ar 9 Tachwedd. Nodwn ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i'r pwynt hwn, a ddaeth i law ddoe ar ôl i ni gyfarfod. Mae'n dweud bod y dystiolaeth ar gyfer mabwysiadu dull gweithredu cenedlaethol yn cynnwys data, ynghyd â chyngor gan y prif swyddog meddygol, sy'n dangos bod heintiau COVID-19 yng Nghymru yn eang yn ddaearyddol, a bod y rhan fwyaf o ardaloedd awdurdodau lleol yn profi tueddiadau cynyddol mewn achosion a gadarnhawyd a chanran yr achosion o brofion cadarnhaol ar gyfer COVID-19. Trof yn awr at Reoliadau Diogelu Iechyd (Coronafeirws, Teithio Rhyngwladol a Chyfyngiadau) (Diwygio) (Cymru) 2020, y gwnaethom ni eu hystyried ac adrodd arnyn nhw ddoe hefyd. Mae'r rheoliadau hyn yn ymestyn y cyfyngiadau presennol sy'n ymwneud â phersonau sy'n teithio i Gymru o Ddenmarc. Bydd yr Aelodau'n ymwybodol, o 4 a.m. ar 7 Tachwedd, y bydd yn ofynnol bellach i'r teithiwr sy'n dychwelyd ac unrhyw aelod o'u aelwyd ynysu am 14 diwrnod. Nododd ein hadroddiad bedwar pwynt technegol yn ymwneud â drafftio diffygiol ac anghysondeb rhwng ystyr y testun Cymraeg a'r testun Saesneg. Nodwn ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i'r pwyntiau hyn, a ddaeth i law ar ôl i ni gyfarfod. Mae'n nodi'r gwallau drafftio sydd wedi eu cywiro ac yn nodi bod hyn yn cael ei gyflawni drwy Reoliadau Diogelu Iechyd (Coronafeirws, Teithio Rhyngwladol a Chyfyngiadau) (Diwygio) (Rhif 2) (Cymru) 2020, a wnaed ac a osodwyd gerbron y Senedd ar 13 Tachwedd 2020. Mae ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru hefyd yn dweud na fu angen troi at y pwerau gorfodi perthnasol na'r darpariaethau trosedd cyn i'r cywiriadau gael eu gwneud. Nododd ein dau bwynt rhinwedd ar reoliadau Rhif 4 y diffyg ymgynghori ar y rheoliadau a chododd fater ar hawliau dynol. Ar y pwynt hwn, nodwyd bod y rheoliadau yn rhagnodi cyfres fwy cyfyngedig o amgylchiadau lle y gall personau adael eu hynysu dros dro nag sy'n berthnasol i bersonau y mae'n ofynnol iddyn nhw ynysu am reswm heblaw oherwydd eu bod wedi cyrraedd Cymru o Ddenmarc. Felly, gofynnwn i Lywodraeth Cymru egluro'r rhesymau dros yr ymyrraeth gynyddol hon â hawliau unigolyn o dan Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol 1998 a siarter hawliau sylfaenol Ewrop. Yn ei hymateb, dywedodd Llywodraeth Cymru fod y risgiau iechyd a gyflwynir gan y posibilrwydd o fewnforio math newydd o goronafeirws i Gymru, ym marn Llywodraeth Cymru, mor ddifrifol fel bod yr ymyrraeth gynyddol i hawliau carfan fach iawn o unigolion yn gymesur wrth geisio'r nod cyfreithlon o ddiogelu iechyd y cyhoedd yng Nghymru, ac rydym newydd dynnu sylw'r Senedd at y sylwadau hyn. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd.
