English: No, there were too few sectors. One of the problems we faced was - and it was an issue I remember discussing with my former colleague Ieuan Wyn Jones, as Deputy First Minister - that in years before that, attempts had been made to attract investment in any area and, of course, you can't do that. Unless you can show you've got a track record quite often it's very difficult to attract another investor in the same field into your country. So, the decision was taken to have sectors. Yes, we increased that to nine because we saw new sectors appear over the years and sectors becoming stronger over the years. The issue that we need to focus on as well is the issue of regional disparity. That's been raised and it's a fair point to raise. How do we do that? Well, we need to make sure that we have regional economic plans and also regional delivery structures. We don't have them at the moment. If we're going to talk about devolving powers downwards, perhaps financial powers as well, which, you know, is an idea that deserves careful attention, we have to be clear that the regional delivery structures are there; they are not there. The local government Bill will give us the opportunity to do that. It's not possible for 22 local authorities to be able to deliver effectively on their own. That's why, of course, we need the regional collaboration. That's what the Bill will do. And that, of course, gives us the opportunity, then, to start looking at how we can empower other levels of government to be able to improve economic conditions in their own areas. With regard to health, again, the leader of the opposition says, 'Well, everything's gone backwards' - it hasn't. I mean, diagnostics waiting times have improved, ambulance waiting times have improved. If you look at cancer, if you want cancer treatment in Wales, you are at least as likely to be getting good cancer treatment as quickly as anywhere else in the UK, if not better. The reality of the situation is we spend 7 per cent more on health and social care: it's a figure that we've used in this Chamber - it is true. And we know, of course, that when it comes to recruitment, the campaign we've put in place is bearing fruit. We are seeing training places now being filled in a way that wasn't the case, perhaps, a year or two ago. That will strengthen the health service over the next few years here in Wales. In terms of some of the other issues that were raised in the course of the debate - education: well, I have to say, you know, I heard what Mohammed Asghar said. I was in school in the 1980s, in a comprehensive, and I can tell him now, I remember those days when schools were never built, they were never maintained, we had a Conservative Government cutting over and over and over again the education budget, we had performance levels going down; I never want to see those days again. I'm happy to take him to schools all round Wales that are brand new being built. I'm happy to show him the work that's been put in. I'd like to show him the work that's coming through via the leadership academy. I'd like to show him the consortia that are delivering now. The reality of the case was that we did not have consistent delivery of education across all local authorities: six of them were in special measures at one point. The system didn't work consistently across Wales. Yes, we had some excellent examples of delivery, but there weren't enough of them across Wales. Now we have the consortia, we are seeing improvements - best GCSE results we've ever had. If you compare where GCSE results were in the 1990s -
Welsh: Na, nid oedd digon o sectorau. Un o'r problemau a wynebem - ac roedd yn fater rwy'n cofio ei drafod gyda fy nghyn gyd-Aelod Ieuan Wyn Jones, fel Dirprwy Brif Weinidog - oedd bod ymdrechion wedi'u gwneud yn y blynyddoedd cyn hynny i ddenu buddsoddiad mewn unrhyw faes ac wrth gwrs, ni allwch wneud hynny. Oni bai eich bod yn gallu dangos bod gennych hanes da o wneud hynny yn eithaf aml mae'n anodd iawn denu buddsoddwr arall yn yr un maes i'ch gwlad. Felly, gwnaed penderfyniad i gael sectorau. Do, fe gynyddwyd hynny i naw oherwydd ein bod yn gweld sectorau newydd yn ymddangos dros y blynyddoedd a sectorau'n dod yn gryfach dros y blynyddoedd. Y mater sydd angen i ni ganolbwyntio arno yn ogystal yw anghyfartaledd rhanbarthol. Mae hynny wedi cael sylw ac mae'n bwynt teg i'w godi. Sut y gwnawn hynny? Wel, mae angen i ni wneud yn siŵr fod gennym gynlluniau economaidd rhanbarthol a strwythurau cyflawni rhanbarthol hefyd. Nid oes gennym rai ar hyn o bryd. Os ydym yn mynd i siarad am ddatganoli pwerau i lawr, a phwerau ariannol hefyd efallai, sy'n syniad sy'n haeddu sylw gofalus wyddoch chi, mae'n rhaid i ni fod yn glir fod y strwythurau cyflawni rhanbarthol yno; nid ydynt yno. Bydd y Bil llywodraeth leol yn rhoi cyfle inni wneud hynny. Nid yw'n bosibl i 22 o awdurdodau lleol gyflawni'n effeithiol ar eu pen eu hunain. Dyna pam, wrth gwrs, fod angen y cydweithio rhanbarthol. Dyna beth y bydd y Bil yn ei wneud. A bydd hynny, wrth gwrs, yn rhoi cyfle i ni wedyn i ddechrau edrych ar sut y gallwn rymuso lefelau eraill o lywodraeth i allu gwella amodau economaidd yn eu hardaloedd eu hunain. O ran iechyd, unwaith eto, mae arweinydd yr wrthblaid yn dweud, 'Wel, mae popeth wedi mynd tuag at yn ôl' - nid yw hynny'n wir. Hynny yw, mae amseroedd aros diagnosteg wedi gwella, mae amseroedd aros ambiwlansys wedi gwella. Os edrychwch ar ganser, os ydych am driniaeth canser yng Nghymru, rydych o leiaf yr un mor debygol o gael triniaeth dda ar gyfer canser cyn gyflymed ag unrhyw le arall yn y DU, os nad yn well. Realiti'r sefyllfa yw ein bod yn gwario 7 y cant yn fwy ar iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol: mae'n ffigur rydym wedi'i ddefnyddio yn y Siambr hon - mae'n wir. A gwyddom, wrth gwrs, ar fater recriwtio, fod yr ymgyrch rydym wedi'i rhoi ar waith yn dwyn ffrwyth. Bellach, rydym yn gweld lleoedd hyfforddi yn cael eu llenwi mewn ffordd nad oedd yn wir, efallai, flwyddyn neu ddwy yn ôl. Bydd hynny'n cryfhau'r gwasanaeth iechyd dros y blynyddoedd nesaf yma yng Nghymru. O ran rhai o'r materion eraill a godwyd yn ystod y ddadl - addysg: wel, rhaid i mi ddweud, wyddoch chi, clywais yr hyn a ddywedodd Mohammed Asghar. Roeddwn yn yr ysgol yn y 1980au, mewn ysgol gyfun, a gallaf ddweud wrtho yn awr, rwy'n cofio'r dyddiau pan nad oedd ysgolion yn cael eu hadeiladu, ni chaent eu cynnal a'u cadw, roedd gennym Lywodraeth Geidwadol yn torri'r gyllideb addysg drosodd a throsodd, roedd gennym lefelau perfformiad yn gostwng; nid wyf byth eisiau gweld y dyddiau hynny eto. Rwy'n hapus i fynd ag ef i ysgolion newydd sbon sy'n cael eu hadeiladu ym mhob rhan o Gymru. Rwy'n hapus i ddangos iddo y gwaith a wnaed ar hynny. Hoffwn ddangos iddo y gwaith sy'n dod drwodd drwy'r academi arweinyddiaeth. Hoffwn ddangos iddo y consortia sy'n cyflawni yn awr. Y gwirionedd yw nad oedd gennym ddarpariaeth addysg gyson ar draws pob awdurdod lleol: roedd chwech ohonynt yn destun mesurau arbennig ar un adeg. Nid oedd y system yn gweithio'n gyson ledled Cymru. Oedd, roedd gennym rai enghreifftiau o ddarpariaeth ragorol, ond nid oedd digon ohonynt ar draws Cymru. Ers inni gael y consortia, rydym yn gweld gwelliannau - y canlyniadau TGAU gorau a gawsom erioed. Os ydych yn cymharu lle'r oedd canlyniadau TGAU yn y 1990au -
