English: Thank you to Alun Davies for giving me the opportunity to put on record the Welsh Government's thanks for those individuals and volunteers who have worked so hard throughout the coronavirus pandemic to offer that kind of crisis support to families and individuals who really are on the sharp end of things as a result of the crisis and as a result of 10 years of austerity. Welsh Government has put significant funding into the single advice fund, and that fund has had a specific and impressive record, I think, in terms of ensuring that families and individuals are claiming the benefits to which they're entitled - millions of pounds back into the pockets of people who quite rightly deserve that in Wales. So, I think that's been very successful. And, as part of the response to the pandemic, we've also increased our support for the discretionary assistance fund by over £10 million, and again, that's a really important opportunity for people who are really struggling and find themselves in a desperate situation, to access some very quick funding. So, we're very pleased with the way in which that fund is being operated, and of course, I would encourage Members to signpost any constituents who need that support to that fund. I share Alun Davies's real concerns about the shared prosperity fund. Engagement from the UK Government has been absolutely woeful - non-existent, in fact - on this particular issue. To what extent we will know anything of use tomorrow in the spending review is as yet unknown, but it is my intention, early after the spending review announcement, to be able to provide an early statement - in the first instance, a written statement - to colleagues with our initial reactions, and then, obviously, we'll find the right opportunity to provide more information on any news that may or may not be forthcoming on the shared prosperity fund.
Welsh: Diolch i Alun Davies am roi'r cyfle i mi fynegi diolch Llywodraeth Cymru i'r unigolion a'r gwirfoddolwyr hynny sydd wedi gweithio mor galed drwy gydol pandemig y coronafeirws i gynnig y math hwnnw o gymorth argyfwng i deuluoedd ac unigolion sydd wirioneddol yn ei chael hi'n anodd o ganlyniad i'r argyfwng ac o ganlyniad i 10 mlynedd o gyni. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi rhoi cyllid sylweddol i'r Gronfa Gynghori Sengl, ac mae gan y gronfa honno record benodol a thrawiadol, rwy'n credu, o ran sicrhau bod teuluoedd ac unigolion yn hawlio'r budd-daliadau y mae ganddynt yr hawl iddynt - miliynau o bunnoedd yn ôl i bocedi pobl sy'n haeddu hynny yng Nghymru, a hynny'n gwbl briodol. Felly, rwy'n credu y bu hynny yn llwyddiannus iawn. Ac, yn rhan o'r ymateb i'r pandemig, rydym ni hefyd wedi rhoi £10 miliwn yn fwy o gefnogaeth i'r gronfa cymorth dewisol, ac eto, mae hynny'n gyfle pwysig iawn i bobl sy'n ei chael hi'n anodd iawn ac sydd mewn sefyllfa enbyd, i allu cael gafael ar gyllid yn gyflym iawn. Felly, rydym yn falch iawn o'r ffordd y caiff y gronfa honno ei gweithredu, ac wrth gwrs, byddwn yn annog Aelodau i gyfeirio unrhyw etholwyr y mae angen y cymorth hwnnw arnyn nhw at y gronfa honno. Rwyf yr un mor bryderus ag Alun Davies am y gronfa ffyniant gyffredin. Mae ymgysylltiad Llywodraeth y DU wedi bod yn gwbl druenus - ni fu unrhyw ymgynghori, mewn gwirionedd - ar y mater penodol hwn. Nid ydym yn gwybod eto i ba raddau y byddwn yn gwybod unrhyw beth defnyddiol yfory yn yr adolygiad o wariant, ond fy mwriad, yn gynnar ar ôl cyhoeddi'r adolygiad o wariant, yw gallu darparu datganiad cynnar - yn y lle cyntaf, datganiad ysgrifenedig - i gyd-Aelodau gyda'n hymatebion cychwynnol, ac yna, yn amlwg, byddwn yn dod o hyd i'r cyfle priodol i ddarparu mwy o wybodaeth am unrhyw newyddion a allai fod ar gael neu beidio ynglŷn â'r gronfa ffyniant gyffredin.
