English: I'll be responding, sorry.
Welsh: Ond, fi sy'n ymateb.
English: Yes, to start.
Welsh: Ie, i ddechrau.
English: I thank the committee Chair. Before we move on to discuss the Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Bill, it's my pleasure to announce the result of the secret ballot for Chair of the Petitions Committee, and all results will be announced. Therefore, Janet Finch-Saunders, 25 votes; Mark Isherwood, 14 votes; and one abstention. I therefore declare that Janet Finch-Saunders is elected Chair of the Petitions Committee. Many congratulations to Janet Finch-Saunders.
Welsh: Diolch i Gadeirydd y pwyllgor. Cyn inni symud ymlaen i drafod y Bil Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus (Cymru), mae'n bleser gen i gyhoeddi canlyniad y bleidlais gudd ar gyfer Cadeirydd y Pwyllgor Deisebau, a bydd yr holl ganlyniadau yn cael eu cyhoeddi. Felly, Janet Finch-Saunders, 25 o bleidleisiau; Mark Isherwood, 14 o bleidleisiau; ac un bleidlais yn ymatal. Dwi'n datgan, felly, fod Janet Finch-Saunders wedi cael ei hethol yn Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Deisebau. Llongyfarchiadau i Janet Finch-Saunders.
English: We move on, therefore, to the debate on Stage 3 of the Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Bill.
Welsh: Rŷn ni'n symud ymlaen, felly, i'r drafodaeth ar y Bil Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus (Cymru).
English: The first group of amendments relate to gender-neutral language. Amendment 22 is the lead amendment in this group, and I call on Llyr Gruffydd to move and speak to the lead amendment and other amendments in the group. Llyr Gruffydd.
Welsh: Mae'r grŵp cyntaf o welliannau i'w trafod yn ymwneud ag iaith sy'n niwtral o ran rhyw. Gwelliant 22 yw'r prif welliant yn y grŵp yma. Dwi'n galw ar Llyr Gruffydd i gynnig y prif welliant ac i siarad am y gwelliant yma a'r gwelliannau eraill yn y grŵp. Llyr Gruffydd.
English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. I'm grateful to the Member in charge, Llyr Gruffydd, for the detailed amendments he is proposing today, making the final technical changes needed to ensure that the Bill operates effectively. I'm glad that this group of amendments finishes the task that Llyr started at Stage 2 by removing gendered terminology from the face of the Bill and ensuring that legislation is gender neutral. I'm looking forward to hearing Members' views on the Bill during the debate today, and I'm grateful for the way in which Llyr Gruffydd has been very collaborative in the way in which he has approached the Bill and I would advise supporting all amendments in this group.
Welsh: Diolch i chi, Lywydd. Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Aelod cyfrifol, Llyr Gruffydd, am y gwelliannau manwl y mae'n eu cynnig heddiw, sy'n gwneud y newidiadau technegol terfynol fydd eu hangen i sicrhau bod y Bil yn gweithredu'n effeithiol. Rwy'n falch fod y grŵp hwn o welliannau'n gorffen y dasg a ddechreuodd Llyr yng Nghyfnod 2 drwy ddileu terminoleg rhywiau oddi ar wyneb y Bil a sicrhau bod deddfwriaeth yn niwtral o ran rhyw. Edrychaf ymlaen at glywed barn yr Aelodau ar y Bil yn ystod y ddadl heddiw, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar am y ffordd y mae Llyr Gruffydd wedi bod yn gydweithredol iawn yn y ffordd y mae wedi mynd ati ar y Bil a buaswn yn cynghori y dylid cefnogi'r holl welliannau yn y grŵp hwn.
English: The question is that amendment 22 be agreed to, therefore. Does any Member object? Amendment 22 is agreed to.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 22, felly? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 22.
English: The question is that amendment 23 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 23 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 23? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 23.
English: The question is that amendment 24 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 24 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 24? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 24.
English: The question is that amendment 25 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 25 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 25? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 25.
English: The question is that amendment 26 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 26 is agreed, therefore.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 26? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 26, felly.
English: The next group of amendments is group 2, and they relate to the appointment of the ombudsman. The lead amendment in this group is amendment 44. I call on Suzy Davies to move and speak to the lead amendment and the other amendments in this group. Suzy Davies.
Welsh: Y grŵp nesaf o welliannau yw grŵp 2, ac maen nhw'n ymwneud â phenodi'r ombwdsmon. Gwelliant 44 yw'r prif welliant yn y grŵp yma. Galwaf ar Suzy Davies i gynnig y prif welliant ac i siarad i'r gwelliant yma a'r gwelliannau eraill yn y grŵp. Suzy Davies.
English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. As we've heard, these amendments, along with those in groups 11 and 12, update the way powers are conferred upon the Assembly. Conferring powers upon the Assembly as a whole and making provisions for them to be delegated to a committee, sub-committee or Chair by Standing Orders allows the flexibility for the Assembly to determine the most appropriate level to exercise those powers based on the current committee structure. This will bring the provisions of the ombudsman Bill in line with other legislation, such as the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004, and I'm happy to support all the amendments in this group.
Welsh: Diolch i chi, Lywydd. Fel y clywsom, mae'r gwelliannau hyn, ynghyd â'r rhai yng ngrwpiau 11 a 12, yn diweddaru'r ffordd y rhoddir pwerau i'r Cynulliad. Mae rhoi pwerau i'r Cynulliad yn ei gyfanrwydd, a gwneud darpariaethau ar gyfer eu dirprwyo i bwyllgor, is-bwyllgor neu Gadeirydd drwy Reolau Sefydlog yn caniatáu hyblygrwydd i'r Cynulliad benderfynu pa lefel yw'r fwyaf priodol i arfer y pwerau arni yn seiliedig ar strwythur presennol pwyllgorau. Bydd hyn yn sicrhau bod darpariaethau'r Bil ombwdsmon yn cyd-fynd â deddfwriaeth arall, megis Deddf Archwilio Cyhoeddus (Cymru) 2004, ac rwy'n hapus i gefnogi'r holl welliannau yn y grŵp hwn.
English: I also will be supporting these amendments today, as I will with all of the amendments tabled in the name of Suzy Davies. These amendments provide greater clarity to the provisions in the Bill around the appointment of the ombudsman or an acting ombudsman, ensuring that the Assembly determines the terms of appointment. This is a sensible approach to appoint to this important independent role.
Welsh: Mi fyddaf innau hefyd yn cefnogi'r gwelliannau yma heddiw, fel y byddaf i gyda'r holl welliannau gan Suzy Davies y prynhawn yma. Mae'r gwelliannau yma yn rhoi gwell eglurder i'r darpariaethau yn y Bil ynghylch penodi'r ombwdsman neu'r ombwdsmon dros dro, gan sicrhau bod y Cynulliad yn pennu telerau'r penodiad. Mae hyn, yn fy marn i, yn ffordd synhwyrol o benodi i'r rôl annibynnol bwysig hon.
English: Just briefly to thank those who contributed to this part of this debate, and for taking on board the arguments. I think there's an important principle involved with this and, as the Minister said, this actually aligns this Bill with other Bills that are attempting to do something similar. So, I'm grateful for the response.
Welsh: Os caf fi ddiolch yn fyr i'r rhai a gyfrannodd at y rhan hon o'r ddadl, ac am wrando ar y dadleuon. Rwy'n credu bod yna egwyddor bwysig ynghlwm wrth hyn ac fel y dywedodd y Gweinidog, mae'n sicrhau bod y Bil hwn yn cyd-fynd â Biliau eraill sy'n ceisio gwneud rhywbeth tebyg. Felly, rwy'n ddiolchgar am yr ymateb.
English: The question is that amendment 44 be agreed. Does any Member object? Amendment 44 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 44? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 44.
English: The question is that amendment 45 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 45 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 45? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir, felly, welliant 45.
English: The question is that amendment 27 be agreed to. Does any Member object? No, therefore amendment 27 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 27? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Nagoes, felly derbynnir gwelliant 27.
English: The question is that amendment 28 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 28 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 28? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 28, felly.
English: The question is that amendment 29 be agreed. Does any Member object? Amendment 29 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 29? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir, felly, welliant 29.
English: Which brings us to group 3 of the amendments, and these relate to the investigation of a health-related service costs recovery. The lead amendment in this group is amendment 30. I call on Llyr Gruffydd to move and speak to the lead amendment and the other amendments in the group.
Welsh: Sy'n dod â ni at grŵp 3 y gwelliannau, ac mae'r gweliannau yma yn ymwneud ag ymchwilio i wasanaeth sy'n gysylltiedig ag iechyd a'r costau adennill. Gwelliant 30 yw'r prif welliant yn y grŵp yma. Dwi'n galw ar Llyr Gruffydd i gynnig y prif welliant ac i siarad i'r gwelliannau yn y grŵp.
English: I just seek clarification on one point, if I may. Although more detail is given to cost recovery under these amendments and there's been some narrowing of the scope and circumstances in which a healthcare provider can avoid liability for obstruction and contempt under amendment 8, can the Member in charge provide any further clarification of the policy reasons behind the changes made under amendment 8?
Welsh: Hoffwn eglurhad ar un pwynt, os caf. Er y rhoddir mwy o fanylion ynghylch adennill costau o dan y gwelliannau hyn a bod peth cyfyngu wedi bod ar y cwmpas a'r amgylchiadau lle gall darparwr gofal iechyd osgoi atebolrwydd am rwystro a dirmyg o dan welliant 8, a all yr Aelod cyfrifol ddarparu unrhyw eglurhad pellach ynglŷn â'r rhesymau polisi sy'n sail i'r newidiadau a wnaed o dan welliant 8?
English: Thank you, Llywydd. Just in response to Mark Isherwood, I don't think that, actually, there is a policy change here. This is about a clear, more efficient and more certain procedure for recovering costs, which includes as well, I'd say, relying on magistrates' courts for appeals. So, I don't accept the assertion that there is a substantial policy change here. It's very much offering that clarity and efficiency in the way that the Bill is written. So, I would encourage Members to support the amendments that I've put forward and hope very much that they will do so.
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Lywydd. I ymateb i Mark Isherwood, nid wyf yn credu, mewn gwirionedd, fod yna newid polisi yma. Mae hyn yn ymwneud â gweithdrefn gliriach, mwy effeithlon a mwy penodol ar gyfer adennill costau, sy'n cynnwys hefyd, buaswn yn dweud, dibynnu ar lys ynadon ar gyfer apeliadau. Felly, nid wyf yn derbyn yr honiad fod yna newid polisi sylweddol yma. Mae'n cynnig eglurder ac effeithlonrwydd o ran y ffordd yr ysgrifennwyd y Bil. Felly, buaswn yn annog yr Aelodau i gefnogi'r gwelliannau a gyflwynais ac rwy'n gobeithio'n fawr y byddant yn gwneud hynny.
English: The question is that amendment 30 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 30 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 30? A oes unrhyw wrthynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 30.
English: The question is that amendment 31 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 31 is agreed to.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 31? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 31.
English: The question is that amendment 32 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 32 is agreed to.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 32? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 32.
English: The question is that amendment 33 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 33 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 33? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 33.
English: The question is that amendment 34 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 34 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 34? Unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 34.
English: The question is that amendment 35 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 35 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 35? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 35.
English: The question is that amendment 36 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 36 is agreed, therefore.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 36? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 36, felly.
English: That brings us to group 4. This group of amendments relates to the auditor general laying the certified accounts. The lead and only amendment in this group is amendment 49, and I call on Mark Isherwood to move and speak to the lead amendment. Mark Isherwood.
Welsh: Sy'n dod â ni at grŵp 4 y gwelliannau. Mae'r grŵp yma'n ymwneud â'r archwilydd cyffredinol a gosod y cyfrifon ardystiedig. Gwelliant 49 yw'r prif welliant, a dwi'n galw ar Mark Isherwood i gynnig y prif welliant ac i siarad amdano. Mark Isherwood.
English: Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. Amendment 49 would counteract an amendment agreed by the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee during Stage 2 scrutiny. That amendment was agreed following the committee's own Stage 1 recommendation, based on evidence from the Auditor General for Wales that he needed greater flexibility in relation to the accounts deadline. Reinstating a firm four-month deadline, with no flexibility, would risk placing conflicting obligations on the auditor general. The auditor general could be required to both lay the certified accounts by a rigid deadline and to be satisfied that the ombudsman's expenditure has been incurred lawfully, and their resources have been used economically, efficiently and effectively. Furthermore, the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2013 requires the auditor general to abide by the code of audit practice and give opportunity to third parties and audited bodies to comment on audit findings. This means that, in practice, the auditor general is not wholly in control of the four-month deadline, and it is reasonable to allow him the flexibility to explain why it can't be met. To ensure that the auditor general and National Assembly have the right information available to properly scrutinise the ombudsman's use of public funds, I cannot support this amendment.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Lywydd. Byddai gwelliant 49 yn gwrthsefyll gwelliant a gytunwyd gan y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb, Llywodraeth Leol a Chymunedau yn ystod gwaith craffu Cyfnod 2. Cytunwyd ar y gwelliant hwnnw yn dilyn argymhelliad y pwyllgor ei hun yng Nghyfnod 1, yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth gan Archwilydd Cyffredinol Cymru fod arno angen mwy o hyblygrwydd mewn perthynas â'r terfyn amser ar gyfer cyfrifon. Byddai adfer dyddiad cau pedwar mis cadarn, heb unrhyw hyblygrwydd, yn creu perygl o osod rhwymedigaethau sy'n gwrth-ddweud ei gilydd ar yr archwilydd cyffredinol. Gallai fod galw ar yr archwilydd cyffredinol i osod y cyfrifon ardystiedig erbyn terfyn amser caeth ac i fod yn fodlon fod gwariant yr ombwdsmon yn gyfreithlon, a'u hadnoddau wedi'u defnyddio'n ddarbodus, yn effeithlon ac yn effeithiol. At hynny, mae Deddf Archwilio Cyhoeddus (Cymru) 2013 yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i'r archwilydd cyffredinol lynu wrth y cod ymarfer archwilio a rhoi cyfle i drydydd partïon a chyrff a archwilir roi sylwadau ar ganfyddiadau archwilio. Mae hyn yn golygu, yn ymarferol, nad oes gan yr archwilydd cyffredinol reolaeth lwyr ar y terfyn amser o bedwar mis, ac mae'n rhesymol caniatáu hyblygrwydd iddo esbonio pam na ellir glynu ato. I sicrhau bod gan yr archwilydd cyffredinol a'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol wybodaeth gywir ar gyfer craffu'n briodol ar ddefnydd yr ombwdsmon o arian cyhoeddus, ni allaf gefnogi'r gwelliant hwn.
English: Diolch. This was intended as a probing amendment. As I stated, we do see worthwhile intent behind the lifting of the four-month deadline within this Bill. I regret that, in her response, the Minister, however, didn't respond to my specific questions, which were the purpose of the probing amendment, which is difficult. Following on from the Member in charge's response, however, I hope that this will lead to the Welsh Government considering and sharing with the Assembly its wider intentions over whether this might begin to set a precedent for other public bodies, and, again, if the Finance Committee inquiry that the Member in charge refers to could also address that, it would clearly be to mutual benefit; it might tease out some of the threats and opportunities involved with this. We weren't intending to object; we were seeking the clarity that, unfortunately, we've not received in the Minister's response, but I think the Member in charge's contribution was very helpful, and we will support.
Welsh: Diolch. Y bwriad oedd i hwn fod yn welliant ymchwilgar. Fel y dywedais, rydym yn gweld bwriad da yn sail i gael gwared ar y terfyn amser o bedwar mis o fewn y Bil. Ond rwy'n gresynu nad atebodd y Gweinidog fy nghwestiynau penodol wrth ymateb, sef diben y gwelliant ymchwilgar, sy'n anodd. Gan ddilyn ymlaen o ymateb yr Aelod cyfrifol fodd bynnag, rwy'n gobeithio y bydd hyn yn arwain at sicrhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystyried ac yn rhannu gyda'r Cynulliad ei bwriadau ehangach o ran a yw hyn yn dechrau gosod cynsail ar gyfer cyrff cyhoeddus eraill, ac unwaith eto, os gallai ymchwiliad y Pwyllgor Cyllid y mae'r Aelod cyfrifol yn cyfeirio ato roi sylw i hynny hefyd, byddai'n amlwg o fudd i bawb; efallai y gallai ddatgelu rhai o'r bygythiadau a'r cyfleoedd sy'n gysylltiedig â hyn. Nid oeddem yn bwriadu gwrthwynebu; roeddem eisiau eglurder, ac yn anffodus, ni chawsom hynny yn ymateb y Gweinidog, ond credaf fod cyfraniad yr Aelod cyfrifol yn ddefnyddiol iawn, a byddwn yn cefnogi.
English: The question is that amendment 49 be agreed to. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Therefore, we will have an electronic vote on amendment 49. Open the vote. Close the vote. None in favour, no abstentions and 47 against. Therefore, amendment 49 is not agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 49? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Felly, mi gawn bleidlais electronig ar welliant 49. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid neb, neb yn ymatal, 47 yn erbyn. Ac, felly, gwrthodwyd gwelliant 49.
English: I move.
Welsh: Cynnig.
English: The question is that amendment 37 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 37 is agreed to.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 37? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbynnir gwelliant 37.
English: Therefore, we move on to group 5 of amendments. These amendments relate to drafting corrections. The lead amendment in this group is amendment 2, and I call on Llyr Gruffydd to move and speak to the lead amendment and the other amendments in the group.
Welsh: Ac, felly, grŵp 5 yw'r grŵp nesaf o welliannau - y gwelliannau yma'n ymwneud â chywiriadau drafftio. Gwelliant 2 yw'r prif welliant yn y grŵp, a dwi'n galw ar Llyr Gruffydd i gynnig y prif welliant ac i siarad i'r gwelliannau yn y grŵp.
English: Thank you, Llywydd. I move amendment 2 and will speak to the other amendments in the group too. This is a group of amendments that address a small number of drafting corrections. For example, amendments 2 and 13 ensure that all references to 'discontinuing an investigation' are consistent in the Welsh text. Amendment 7 deletes a superfluous word in the Welsh text. Amendment 10 inserts the word ' neu ' - 'or' - at the end of a specific section. And, finally, amendment 12 corrects a minor drafting error in the Bill with reference to a sub-section rather than a section. So, we very much hope that, as these are minor drafting issues, Members will support the amendments.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Dwi'n cynnig gwelliant 2 ac yn siarad i'r gwelliannau eraill yn y grŵp yma. Mae hwn yn grŵp o welliannau sy'n mynd i'r afael â nifer fach o gywiriadau drafftio. Er enghraifft, mae gwelliannau 2 ac 13 yn sicrhau bod yr holl gyfeiriadau at 'ddod ag ymchwiliad i ben' yn gyson yn y testun Cymraeg. Mae gwelliant 7 yn dileu gair diangen yn y testun Cymraeg. Mae gwelliant 10 yn mewnosod y gair 'neu' ar ddiwedd adran benodol. Ac, yn olaf, mae gwelliant 12 yn cywiro mân wall ddrafftio yn y Bil i gyfeirio at is-adran yn hytrach nag adran, felly mi fyddwn ni'n gobeithio'n fawr, gan mai materion drafftio mân yw'r rhain, y bydd Aelodau'n gweld eu ffordd yn glir i gefnogi'r gwelliannau.
English: I'm very happy to support these amendments.
Welsh: Rwy'n hapus iawn i gefnogi'r gwelliannau hyn.
English: Group 6 is the next group of amendments, and these relate to own-initiative investigations. The lead amendment in this group is amendment 3, and I call on Llyr Gruffydd to move and speak to the lead amendment and the other amendments in the group.
Welsh: Grŵp 6 yw'r grŵp nesaf o welliannau, ac mae'r rhain yn ymwneud ag ymchwiliadau ar ei liwt ei hun. Gwelliant 3 yw'r prif welliant yn y grŵp a dwi'n galw ar Llyr Gruffydd i gynnig y prif welliant ac i siarad i'r gwelliannau yn y grŵp.
English: I move amendment 3 and I'll speak to all the amendments in this group, which relate to the ombudsman's powers to undertake own-initiative investigations. Amendment 3 clarifies that any decision of the ombudsman to, for example, begin an own-initiative investigation is subject to both section 4 (1) and section 4 (2), section 4 is the section relating to power to investigate on the ombudsman's own initiative. Amendment 14 has the same effect as amendment 3, only in respect of own-initiative investigations under Part 5, which, of course, deals with social care and palliative care. Amendments 4 and 15 clarify that, where the ombudsman revises the published criteria for own-initiative investigations in a material way, then, those revisions will be subject to the same Assembly procedure that applied to the first criteria, which is identified in section 5 of the Bill. They will be subject to a negative resolution procedure, in that they will be laid before the Assembly, and unless they are annulled before the end of a 40-day period, they can then be published. Amendment 19 clarifies that the ombudsman has a duty to inform and consult specified persons when carrying out own-initiative investigations. So, again, these amendments are pretty technical in nature - no policy change, merely strengthening and providing clarity, and I would urge Members to support them.
Welsh: Rwy'n cynnig gwelliant 3 ac fe siaradaf am yr holl welliannau yn y grŵp hwn, sy'n ymwneud â phwerau'r ombwdsmon i gynnal ymchwiliadau ar ei liwt ei hun. Mae gwelliant 3 yn egluro bod unrhyw benderfyniad ar ran yr ombwdsmon, er enghraifft, i ddechrau ymchwiliad ar ei liwt ei hun, yn ddarostyngedig i adran 4 (1) ac adran 4 (2), adran 4 yw'r adran sy'n ymwneud â phŵer i ombwdsmon ymchwilio ar ei liwt ei hun. Mae i welliant 14 yr un effaith â gwelliant 3, mewn perthynas ag ymchwiliadau ar liwt yr ombwdsmon ei hun o dan Ran 5 yn unig, sydd, wrth gwrs, yn ymdrin â gofal cymdeithasol a gofal lliniarol. Mae gwelliannau 4 a 15 yn egluro, lle mae'r ombwdsmon yn adolygu'r meini prawf a gyhoeddwyd ar gyfer ymchwiliadau ar liwt yr ombwdsmon ei hun mewn ffordd berthnasol, y bydd y diwygiadau hynny'n ddarostyngedig i'r un weithdrefn Cynulliad a oedd yn berthnasol i'r meini prawf cyntaf, a nodir yn adran 5 y Bil. Byddant yn ddarostyngedig i weithdrefn penderfyniad negyddol, yn yr ystyr y cânt eu gosod gerbron y Cynulliad, ac oni chânt eu diddymu cyn diwedd cyfnod o 40 diwrnod, gellir eu cyhoeddi. Mae gwelliant 19 yn egluro bod gan yr ombwdsmon ddyletswydd i hysbysu ac ymgynghori â phersonau penodedig wrth gynnal ymchwiliadau ar liwt yr ombwdsmon ei hun. Felly, unwaith eto, mae'r gwelliannau hyn yn eithaf technegol o ran eu natur - ni cheir newid polisi, dim ond cryfhau a darparu eglurder, a buaswn yn annog yr Aelodau i'w cefnogi.
