English: Minister, in view of the limited time, I'm just going to focus on a few questions and so on and issues that really arise as a result of this motion. The first one is that I think it would be very useful to have a public health analysis post these events, not just in respect of the psychological trauma that's been suffered, but we know that many people in the clearing of their homes have had to have additional tetanus injections and also been put on a series of antibiotics. We've seen people with inflammation of their skin in areas where they've had nicks and cuts as a result of this process. Now, this is quite significant and I think it's something that is well worth a public health evaluation. The other issue, of course, that has been raised, is that of the issue of flood defences. I know, in Ilan, Welsh Government, with European money, invested substantially in containment pits for water running off the hills above Rhydyfelin and that, in fact, has worked very, very effectively. Those flood defences did work, but they were exceeded in some areas and there were certain areas where certain measures might have been taken that would have limited the flooding that did occur - certainly not on a scale that's ever been known before, because it was an area of regular flooding. The other issue, of course, in areas around the A470 - culvert drainage, culvert clearance, is clearly something that has been a bit of a problem. I've written about this to Welsh Government separately. But, clearly, there were homes that were flooded there, not as a result of the River Taff breaking its banks, but as a result of those culverts overflowing, because, I suspect, of, potentially, a lack of maintenance. Another area that needs to be addressed, it seems to me, is the issue of the placement of large containers and similar sorts of objects in flood liable areas. Because those containers flowing down the river, crashing into bridges, have actually doubled and massively increased the amount of damage. It seems to me that we need to look at the actual planning or the licensing arrangements, or the arrangements that exist for people being allowed to place such objects there. And then, finally, I have written again separately about this, and that is I think there needs to be a moratorium on proposed planning developments in floodplain areas, with a need to actually review what we understand by 'a floodplain'. Because, quite clearly, there are areas that are marginally outside floodplain areas being developed, but that, in the light of what we now know and we are now seeing, really need to be reassessed. So, we need really a moratorium on developments, because developments that may take place in the next year or two - it's really too late in terms of the subsequent consequences that there may be. So, what I'd ask is that perhaps one of the things that we need to do is to consider the nature of planning and the nature of what we have previously understood as floodplains, and have a review of that.
Welsh: Weinidog, o gofio'r amser cyfyngedig, rwy'n mynd i ganolbwyntio ar ychydig o gwestiynau ac ati a materion sy'n codi o ganlyniad i'r cynnig hwn. Yr un cyntaf yw fy mod yn credu y byddai'n ddefnyddiol iawn cael dadansoddiad iechyd cyhoeddus yn sgil y digwyddiadau hyn, nid yn unig mewn perthynas â'r trawma seicolegol a ddioddefwyd, ond gwyddom fod llawer o bobl wrth glirio eu cartrefi wedi gorfod cael brechiadau tetanws ychwanegol a hefyd wedi cael eu rhoi ar gyfres o wrthfiotigau. Rydym wedi gweld pobl yn cael llid ar eu croen mewn mannau lle cawsant gytiau o ganlyniad i'r broses hon. Nawr, mae hyn yn eithaf arwyddocaol ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn rhywbeth sy'n werth cynnal gwerthusiad iechyd y cyhoedd arno. Y mater arall a godwyd, wrth gwrs, yw amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd. Gwn fod Llywodraeth Cymru, yn Ilan, gydag arian Ewropeaidd, wedi buddsoddi'n sylweddol mewn pyllau cyfyngu ar gyfer dŵr sy'n rhedeg oddi ar y bryniau uwchben Rhydfelen, ac mae hynny, mewn gwirionedd, wedi gweithio'n effeithiol iawn. Fe weithiodd yr amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd, ond daeth dŵr dros eu pennau mewn rhai mannau ac roedd rhai mannau lle gellid bod wedi rhoi rhai camau ar waith a fyddai wedi cyfyngu ar y llifogydd a ddigwyddodd - yn sicr nid ar raddfa a welwyd erioed o'r blaen, oherwydd roedd yn ardal a welai lifogydd yn rheolaidd. Y mater arall, wrth gwrs, mewn ardaloedd o gwmpas yr A470 - mae draeniad ceuffosydd, clirio ceuffosydd, yn amlwg yn rhywbeth sydd wedi bod yn broblem braidd. Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu at Lywodraeth Cymru ynglŷn â hyn ar adeg arall. Ond yn amlwg, roedd yna gartrefi a ddioddefodd lifogydd yno, nid o ganlyniad i'r ffaith bod Afon Taf yn gorlifo, ond o ganlyniad i'r ceuffosydd hynny'n gorlifo, a hynny, rwy'n tybio, o ganlyniad i ddiffyg gwaith cynnal a chadw. Maes arall sy'n rhaid mynd i'r afael ag ef, mae'n ymddangos i mi, yw'r modd y lleolir cynwysyddion mawr a mathau tebyg o wrthrychau mewn ardaloedd sy'n agored i lifogydd. Oherwydd os yw'r cynwysyddion hyn yn llifo i lawr yr afon, gan daro pontydd, mae'n dyblu ac yn cynyddu'r difrod yn aruthrol. Mae'n ymddangos i mi fod angen inni edrych ar y trefniadau cynllunio neu'r trefniadau trwyddedu eu hunain, neu'r trefniadau sy'n bodoli i bobl gael gosod gwrthrychau o'r fath yno. Ac yna, yn olaf, rwyf wedi ysgrifennu am hyn eto ar adeg arall, ac rwy'n credu bod angen moratoriwm ar ddatblygiadau cynllunio arfaethedig ar orlifdiroedd, gydag angen i adolygu'r hyn rydym yn ei ddeall wrth 'orlifdir'. Oherwydd, yn ddigon amlwg, ceir ardaloedd sy'n cael eu datblygu ond ychydig bach y tu allan i orlifdiroedd, ond yng ngoleuni'r hyn a wyddom bellach ac a welwn bellach, mae gwir angen eu hailasesu. Felly, mae angen inni gael moratoriwm ar ddatblygiadau, oherwydd mae datblygiadau a all ddigwydd yn ystod y flwyddyn neu ddwy nesaf - mae'n rhy hwyr mewn gwirionedd o ran y canlyniadau a all ddeillio o hynny. Felly, rwy'n gofyn efallai mai un o'r pethau sydd angen inni ei wneud yw ystyried natur cynllunio a natur yr hyn yr arferem ei ddeall yn flaenorol fel gorlifdir, ac adolygu hynny.
