English: Thank you, Minister. On two recent stays in hospital, one at the Princess of Wales and the other at the University Hospital of Wales, I was shocked at the lack of dietary choice available. As a Muslim, I was not offered halal food. I have been informed since then that vegetarians are often not offered food meeting their dietary needs either. The result: in-patients having to rely on family or friends to bring in food during visiting time, which has not been possible in these pandemic years. Minister, I'm sure you'll agree with me that this is unacceptable and will lead to instances where patients are not getting the right balance of nutrition to aid their recovery. Minister, will you ensure that all hospitals in Wales serve meals that fulfil the dietary requirements of patients as well as being nutritionally balanced? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Weinidog. Yn ystod dau arhosiad diweddar yn yr ysbyty, un yn Ysbyty Tywysoges Cymru a'r llall yn Ysbyty Athrofaol Cymru, cefais fy synnu gan y diffyg dewis deietegol a oedd ar gael. Fel Mwslim, ni chefais gynnig bwyd halal. Fe'm hysbyswyd ers hynny fod llysieuwyr hefyd yn aml heb gael cynnig bwyd sy'n diwallu eu hanghenion deietegol. Y canlyniad: cleifion mewnol yn gorfod dibynnu ar deulu neu ffrindiau i ddod â bwyd i mewn yn ystod amser ymweld, nad yw wedi bod yn bosibl yn ystod blynyddoedd y pandemig. Weinidog, rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn cytuno â mi fod hyn yn annerbyniol ac y bydd yn arwain at achosion lle nad yw cleifion yn cael y cydbwysedd cywir o faeth i'w helpu i wella. Weinidog, a wnewch chi sicrhau bod pob ysbyty yng Nghymru yn gweini prydau sy'n bodloni gofynion deietegol cleifion yn ogystal â bod yn gytbwys o ran maeth? Diolch.
English: Thanks very much, Altaf, and I'm pleased to say that officials are already working with their NHS counterparts to begin that process of reviewing the standards that include hospital food. However, it is a very significant piece of work and something where, obviously, we're very keen, if we can, to make sure that we include local food in that. Now, what I don't have yet is a set timetable for the publication of the refreshed standards, but what I do accept is that it has been a long time since the last standards were issued, and that's why we will take account of the review and, of course, some of the issues that you pointed out will be considered in that review. The more pressing issue for me this weekend, to be honest, is the incredible heat that's heading our way and is already hitting us. I'm very concerned about the impact on older people. I hope that people who are suffering with cardiovascular issues and with respiratory diseases will be extremely careful. We are looking at a high-impact weather event. We are particularly concerned about what will be happening on Sunday and on Monday. I'd encourage people to drink lots of water, don't be a mad dog or an Englishman and go out in the midday sun, and be aware of the pressure on the NHS. It is already intense: our beds are full; we have 1,000 COVID patients; accident and emergency departments are under strain; ambulances are extremely stretched. We really want to try and avoid any more pressure on the NHS at this time, so please be careful this coming weekend.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Altaf, ac rwy'n falch o ddweud bod swyddogion eisoes yn gweithio gyda'u cymheiriaid yn y GIG i ddechrau'r broses o adolygu'r safonau sy'n cynnwys bwyd mewn ysbytai. Fodd bynnag, mae'n waith sylweddol iawn ac yn amlwg, rydym yn awyddus iawn i sicrhau ein bod yn cynnwys bwyd lleol yn hynny os gallwn. Nawr, nid oes gennyf amserlen benodol hyd yma ar gyfer cyhoeddi'r safonau diwygiedig, ond rwy'n derbyn ei bod wedi bod yn amser hir ers cyhoeddi'r safonau diwethaf, a dyna pam y byddwn yn ystyried yr adolygiad ac wrth gwrs, bydd rhai o'r materion a nodwyd gennych yn cael sylw yn yr adolygiad hwnnw. Y mater pwysicaf i mi y penwythnos hwn, a bod yn onest, yw'r gwres anhygoel sy'n dod tuag atom ac sydd eisoes yn ein taro. Rwy'n bryderus iawn am yr effaith ar bobl hŷn. Gobeithio y bydd pobl sy'n dioddef o broblemau cardiofasgwlaidd a chlefydau anadlol yn ofalus iawn. Rydym yn edrych ar dywydd sy'n cael effaith fawr. Rydym yn pryderu'n benodol am yr hyn a fydd yn digwydd ddydd Sul a dydd Llun. Hoffwn annog pobl i yfed llawer o ddŵr, i beidio â mynd allan pan fydd y gwres ar ei boethaf, ac i fod yn ymwybodol o'r pwysau ar y GIG. Mae eisoes yn ddwys: mae ein gwelyau'n llawn; mae gennym 1,000 o gleifion COVID; mae adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys dan straen; mae ambiwlansys dan bwysau mawr. Rydym yn awyddus iawn i geisio osgoi mwy o bwysau ar y GIG ar hyn o bryd, felly byddwch yn ofalus y penwythnos nesaf.
English: We continue to provide significant and sustained funding to support the provision of mental health services. In addition to its mental health ring-fenced allocation, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board will receive an additional £4.9 million of recurrent mental health funding this year to continue to improve mental health support.
Welsh: Rydym yn parhau i ddarparu cyllid sylweddol a pharhaus i gefnogi'r ddarpariaeth o wasanaethau iechyd meddwl. Yn ogystal â'i ddyraniad a neilltuwyd ar gyfer iechyd meddwl, bydd Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr yn derbyn £4.9 miliwn ychwanegol o gyllid iechyd meddwl rheolaidd eleni i barhau i wella cymorth iechyd meddwl.
English: On 15 June, in response to a question about the abrupt closure of Denbigh Men's Shed, you said, and I quote, 'I've been in touch with the health board and have been advised that, following a health and safety walk around, risks were noted and felt to be of such a nature that a temporary suspension of this service was required.' Now, serious questions have been raised about the validity of that decision. Staff involved, apparently, had failed to follow procedure, and I'm told that the suspension actually had no basis and, ultimately, was shown to be invalid. Now, I'm sure you'll join with me, of course, in celebrating the subsequent reopening of Denbigh Men's Shed, despite the harmful upheaval that caused to some of our most fragile and at-risk people, but can I ask: what process does the Government have in place to check whether information provided to you by other bodies, as you prepare to answer these questions, is actually correct and is actually reflective of the reality of the situation on the ground?
Welsh: Ar 15 Mehefin, mewn ymateb i gwestiwn am gau Sied Dynion Dinbych yn sydyn, fe ddywedoch chi, 'Rwyf wedi bod mewn cysylltiad â'r bwrdd iechyd ac wedi cael gwybod, yn dilyn gwiriad iechyd a diogelwch, fod risgiau wedi'u nodi a'u bod yn teimlo'u bod o'r fath natur fel bod angen atal y gwasanaeth hwn dros dro.' Nawr, mae cwestiynau difrifol wedi'u codi am ddilysrwydd y penderfyniad hwnnw. Mae'n debyg fod y staff dan sylw wedi methu dilyn y weithdrefn, a dywedir wrthyf nad oedd sail i atal y gwasanaeth mewn gwirionedd ac yn y pen draw, dangoswyd ei fod yn annilys. Nawr, rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn ymuno â mi, wrth gwrs, i ddathlu ailagor Sied Dynion Dinbych wedi hynny, er gwaethaf y trafferthion niweidiol a achosodd hynny i rai o'n pobl fwyaf bregus ac agored i berygl, ond a gaf fi ofyn: pa broses sydd gan y Llywodraeth ar waith i wirio a yw'r wybodaeth a ddarperir i chi gan gyrff eraill, wrth ichi baratoi i ateb y cwestiynau hyn, yn gywir mewn gwirionedd ac yn adlewyrchu realiti'r sefyllfa ar lawr gwlad?
English: Thank you, Llyr, and, yes, I was really pleased that the men's shed is open again, and I saw on Twitter that you had been able to visit them to celebrate that opening. Officials checked with the health board what the position was in relation to the abrupt closure of the men's shed. I had in fact received an e-mail to my MS inbox about it so was able to alert officials, and we were given the assurances that I then gave in the Chamber that there had been health and safety issues highlighted, but that these were being resolved following some urgent action being taken. Obviously, you hope that when you're provided with that information that is correct. If you're saying that's not the case, then I'd advise maybe that you write to me about that.
Welsh: Diolch, Llyr, ac roeddwn yn falch iawn fod sied y dynion ar agor eto, a gwelais ar Twitter eich bod wedi gallu ymweld â hwy i ddathlu'r agoriad hwnnw. Bu swyddogion yn holi'r bwrdd iechyd beth oedd y sefyllfa mewn perthynas â chau sied y dynion yn sydyn. Roeddwn wedi cael e-bost yn ei gylch yn fy mewnflwch fel Aelod o'r Senedd, felly llwyddais i roi gwybod i swyddogion, a chawsom y sicrwydd a roddais wedyn yn y Siambr fod materion iechyd a diogelwch wedi'u hamlygu, ond bod y rhain yn cael eu datrys yn dilyn rhywfaint o weithredu brys. Yn amlwg, pan fyddwch yn cael gwybodaeth, rydych yn gobeithio ei bod yn gywir. Os ydych yn dweud nad yw hynny'n wir, hoffwn eich cynghori efallai i ysgrifennu ataf ynglŷn â hynny.
English: As part of our 'Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales' and tobacco control strategies, we are co-investing, with local health boards, into a number of programmes and interventions that support population health outcomes.
Welsh: Fel rhan o'n strategaeth 'Pwysau Iach: Cymru Iach' a'n strategaeth rheoli tybaco, rydym yn cydfuddsoddi, gyda byrddau iechyd lleol, mewn nifer o raglenni ac ymyriadau sy'n cefnogi canlyniadau iechyd y boblogaeth.
English: Thank you for that, Minister. I recently ran the Llanishen parkrun, which was celebrating links between parkrun organisers and GP practices to encourage more integrated and supportive local communities, centring on wellness. I note that parkrun organisers, Minister, would very much like to see a consistent approach right across Wales, making these links between those working in the health sector and the parkrun organisers, facilitating communication and joint working. I'd just like to ask what Welsh Government will be doing to strengthen that agenda and take it forward in Wales.
Welsh: Diolch am hynny, Weinidog. Yn ddiweddar, rhedais ras parkrun Llanisien, a oedd yn dathlu cysylltiadau rhwng trefnwyr parkrun a phractisau meddygon teulu i hybu cymunedau lleol mwy integredig a chefnogol, gan ganolbwyntio ar les. Weinidog, nodaf y byddai trefnwyr parkrun yn awyddus iawn i weld dull gweithredu cyson ledled Cymru, gan wneud cysylltiadau rhwng y rhai sy'n gweithio yn y sector iechyd a threfnwyr parkrun, a hwyluso cyfathrebu a chydweithio. Hoffwn ofyn beth fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud i gryfhau'r agenda honno a'i datblygu yng Nghymru.
English: Thank you very much, John, and I know that you are an enthusiastic supporter of parkruns, and I think that they play an enormous role in making sure that we can get people more active and I'm very keen to support them. Pre pandemic, my officials were in discussion with the UK Government, the Royal College of General Practitioners and parkrun UK around a programme to promote social prescribing of parkrun, and there are already practices in Wales that have been supporting this programme. I've asked my officials to re-establish these links and consider further work on that that could be taken forward across Wales.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, John, a gwn eich bod yn un o gefnogwyr brwd y rasys parkrun, a chredaf eu bod yn chwarae rhan enfawr yn sicrhau y gallwn gael pobl yn fwy egnïol ac rwy'n awyddus iawn i'w cefnogi. Cyn y pandemig, roedd fy swyddogion mewn trafodaethau gyda Llywodraeth y DU, Coleg Brenhinol yr Ymarferwyr Cyffredinol a parkrun UK ynghylch rhaglen i hyrwyddo presgripsiynu cymdeithasol ar gyfer parkrun, ac mae practisau yng Nghymru eisoes wedi bod yn cefnogi'r rhaglen hon. Rwyf wedi gofyn i fy swyddogion ailsefydlu'r cysylltiadau hyn ac ystyried gwaith pellach ar hynny y gellid ei ddatblygu ledled Cymru.
English: Individuals can take a range of steps to reduce their chances of developing heart disease, by not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly, for example. Our 'Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales' and tobacco control strategies are developing a range of measures to support people to make those healthier choices.
Welsh: Gall unigolion roi amrywiaeth o gamau ar waith i leihau'r perygl o ddatblygu clefyd y galon, drwy beidio ag ysmygu, cynnal pwysau iach ac ymarfer corff yn rheolaidd, er enghraifft. Mae ein strategaeth 'Pwysau Iach: Cymru Iach' a'n strategaeth rheoli tybaco yn datblygu ystod o fesurau i gefnogi pobl i wneud y dewisiadau iachach hynny.
English: Can I thank you for that answer? We know that smoking has reduced, and is continuing to reduce, and many of us are waiting for it to reach zero. Unfortunately, obesity is moving in the opposite direction, and that is causing a large number of people to suffer from things that can cause heart disease. Hardening of the arteries happens 10 times more often in people who are obese than in people who are not obese. So, will the Welsh Government develop an obesity strategy in order to try and get people to their correct weight? That's going to have to involve a lot of social action; rather than giving people a tablet for everything, try and get people exercising, try and get people dieting, and try and get people taking some responsibility for their own health, rather than hoping a doctor will solve everything.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch ichi am yr ateb hwnnw? Gwyddom fod ysmygu wedi lleihau, ac mae'n parhau i leihau, ac mae llawer ohonom yn aros iddo gyrraedd sero. Yn anffodus, mae gordewdra'n symud i'r cyfeiriad arall, ac mae hynny'n peri i nifer fawr o bobl ddioddef o bethau sy'n gallu achosi clefyd y galon. Mae caledu'r rhydwelïau'n digwydd 10 gwaith yn amlach mewn pobl sy'n ordew nag mewn pobl nad ydynt yn ordew. Felly, a wnaiff Llywodraeth Cymru ddatblygu strategaeth ordewdra er mwyn ceisio sicrhau bod pobl yn cyrraedd eu pwysau cywir? Bydd yn rhaid i hynny gynnwys llawer o weithredu cymdeithasol; yn hytrach na rhoi tabled i bobl ar gyfer popeth, ceisio cael pobl i ymarfer corff, ceisio cael pobl i fynd ar ddeiet, a cheisio cael pobl i ysgwyddo rhywfaint o gyfrifoldeb am eu hiechyd eu hunain, yn hytrach na gobeithio y bydd meddyg yn datrys popeth.
English: Thank you very much, Mike. You'll be pleased to know that we have a really comprehensive anti-obesity strategy in Wales called 'Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales'. It's a 10-year strategy that we are breaking up into two-year delivery plans so that we can really focus on making sure that we are delivering in what is a really complex area. It is a hugely challenging area, because we all know when habits are unhealthy, but getting people to change those habits is really complex. So, we have a multifaceted approach in our strategy that involves behaviour change, it involves funding things like the pilots for children and young people; we're investing very significantly in the all-Wales weight management programme to make sure that there are pathways in all parts of Wales, and we're investing in community sports, in the healthy and active fund, and also, vitally, our plan includes, as I said in response to James Evans earlier on, a strong focus on the role of education and making sure that young people learn from an early age how to become more healthy. It is a really challenging agenda, but we are very committed to doing it. We have a new implementation board, which I chair, we've got very senior leaders from across Wales on that board, and we are absolutely determined to drive forward this agenda.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Mike. Fe fyddwch yn falch o wybod bod gennym strategaeth gwrth-ordewdra gynhwysfawr iawn yng Nghymru o'r enw 'Pwysau Iach: Cymru Iach'. Mae'n strategaeth 10 mlynedd yr ydym yn ei rhannu'n gynlluniau cyflawni dwy flynedd fel y gallwn ganolbwyntio'n iawn ar sicrhau ein bod yn cyflawni mewn maes sy'n wirioneddol gymhleth. Mae'n faes hynod heriol, oherwydd gwyddom i gyd am arferion afiach, ond mae cael pobl i newid yr arferion hynny'n gymhleth iawn. Felly, mae gennym ddull amlweddog yn ein strategaeth sy'n cynnwys newid ymddygiad, ac mae'n cynnwys ariannu pethau fel y cynlluniau peilot ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc; rydym yn buddsoddi'n sylweddol iawn yn y rhaglen rheoli pwysau ar gyfer Cymru i sicrhau bod llwybrau ym mhob rhan o Gymru, ac rydym yn buddsoddi mewn chwaraeon cymunedol, yn y gronfa iach ac egnïol, a hefyd, yn hanfodol, fel y dywedais mewn ymateb i James Evans yn gynharach, mae ein cynllun yn cynnwys ffocws cryf ar rôl addysg a sicrhau bod pobl ifanc yn dysgu o oedran cynnar sut i ddod yn fwy iach. Mae'n agenda wirioneddol heriol, ond rydym wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i'w chyflawni. Mae gennym fwrdd gweithredu newydd yr wyf yn gadeirydd arno, mae gennym uwch arweinwyr o bob rhan o Gymru ar y bwrdd hwnnw, ac rydym yn gwbl benderfynol o fwrw ymlaen â'r agenda hon.
English: Thank you, Minister and Deputy Ministers.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog a'r Dirprwy Weinidogion.
English: The next item is the topical questions, and I call on Luke Fletcher to ask his question.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf yw'r cwestiynau amserol, a galwaf ar Luke Fletcher i ofyn ei gwestiwn.
English: I thank Luke Fletcher for that question. The key levers for tackling child poverty - powers over the tax and welfare system - sit with the UK Government, but we will continue to do all we can with the powers we have to tackle inequalities and improve outcomes for all children in Wales so that they can fulfil their potential.
Welsh: Diolch i Luke Fletcher am y cwestiwn hwnnw. Mae'r dulliau allweddol o fynd i'r afael â thlodi plant - pwerau dros y system dreth a lles - yn nwylo Llywodraeth y DU, ond byddwn yn parhau i wneud popeth yn ein gallu gyda'r pwerau sydd gennym i fynd i'r afael ag anghydraddoldebau a gwella canlyniadau i bob plentyn yng Nghymru fel y gallant gyflawni eu potensial.
English: Thank you for that response, Minister.
Welsh: Diolch am yr ateb hwnnw, Gweinidog.
English: The reality is that child poverty has remained alarmingly high over the past decade. Whilst my colleague Liz Saville Roberts raised with the Prime Minister in Prime Minister's questions today that he should scrap the two-child limit and reinstate the £20 uplift for all families entitled to welfare - by the way, I have to say, it was another poor response from him on this issue - I am keen to learn what Welsh Government can do. Now, we'll be having a debate later on today on the Welsh Government's spending priorities. I'll be making the case again for expanding the education maintenance allowance. I do accept that there will be conflicting priorities in the Welsh Government's budget, but surely tackling child poverty should be one of the main priorities within the Welsh Government's budget. I would hope that the Welsh Government would reflect this, not just by introducing further support but also agreeing to set child poverty targets so that we can better measure Welsh Government's successes or failures within this field. And on this point as well, the Bevan Foundation is right to say that the fact that poverty targets have not worked in the past is not a reason to dismiss the potential benefits of setting new ones.
Welsh: Y gwir amdani yw bod tlodi plant wedi aros yn frawychus o uchel dros y degawd diwethaf. Er i fy nghydweithiwr, Liz Saville Roberts, ddweud wrth Brif Weinidog y DU yng nghwestiynau'r Prif Weinidog heddiw y dylai ddileu'r terfyn dau blentyn ac adfer y cynnydd o £20 i bob teulu sydd â hawl i les - gyda llaw, rhaid imi ddweud ei fod yn ymateb gwael arall ganddo ar y mater hwn - rwy'n awyddus i ddysgu beth y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud. Nawr, byddwn yn cael dadl yn ddiweddarach heddiw ar flaenoriaethau gwariant Llywodraeth Cymru. Byddaf yn cyflwyno'r achos eto dros ehangu'r lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg. Rwy'n derbyn y bydd blaenoriaethau'n gwrthdaro yng nghyllideb Llywodraeth Cymru, ond dylai mynd i'r afael â thlodi plant fod yn un o'r prif flaenoriaethau yn y gyllideb honno. Byddwn yn gobeithio y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn adlewyrchu hyn, nid yn unig drwy gyflwyno cymorth pellach ond hefyd drwy gytuno i osod targedau tlodi plant fel y gallwn fesur llwyddiannau neu fethiannau Llywodraeth Cymru yn well yn y maes hwn. Ac ar y pwynt hwn hefyd, mae Sefydliad Bevan yn iawn i ddweud nad yw'r ffaith nad yw targedau tlodi wedi gweithio yn y gorffennol yn rheswm dros ddiystyru manteision posibl gosod rhai newydd.
English: Well, thank you very much for those important supplementary questions. I did see that the End Child Poverty alliance made some very clear calls on the UK Government that benefit payments should permanently keep pace with inflation - 3.1 per cent, the uplift in April - and also that the two-child limit on child benefit, and, indeed, the benefit cap, should be abolished. And I've called for that. In fact, when I first met with the children's commissoner - the previous children's commissioner - those were the calls, and, indeed, from the Bevan Foundation. But I will say that we're continuing to target support at families with children. Our programme for government commits us to continuing support for our flagship Flying Start programme of early intervention; extending the pupil development grant access, a scheme worth up to £200 per child to support more families with the school uniforms, school kit; and we're so pleased that, as part of the co-operation agreement we've given that commitment to roll out free school meals to all primary school children. I could go on, but I will say that what's important is that we've given a commitment to publish a refreshed child poverty strategy, and committed to working with stakeholders over the summer so that we can publish it this year.
Welsh: Wel, diolch yn fawr am y cwestiynau atodol pwysig hynny. Gwelais fod y gynghrair Dileu Tlodi Plant wedi dweud yn glir iawn wrth Lywodraeth y DU y dylai taliadau budd-daliadau gadw i fyny'n barhaol gyda chwyddiant - 3.1 y cant, y cynnydd ym mis Ebrill - a hefyd y dylid diddymu'r terfyn dau blentyn ar fudd-dal plant, ac yn wir, y cap ar fudd-daliadau. Ac rwyf wedi galw am hynny. Yn wir, pan gyfarfûm gyntaf â'r comisiynydd plant - y comisiynydd plant blaenorol - dyna oedd y galwadau, a chan Sefydliad Bevan yn wir. Ond rwyf am ddweud ein bod yn parhau i dargedu cymorth at deuluoedd â phlant. Mae ein rhaglen lywodraethu yn ein hymrwymo i barhau i gefnogi ein rhaglen flaenllaw o ymyriadau cynnar, Dechrau'n Deg; ymestyn mynediad y grant datblygu disgyblion, cynllun gwerth hyd at £200 y plentyn i gefnogi mwy o deuluoedd gyda gwisg ysgol, cit ysgol; ac rydym mor falch ein bod, fel rhan o'r cytundeb cydweithio, wedi ymrwymo i gyflwyno prydau ysgol am ddim i bob plentyn ysgol gynradd. Gallwn barhau, ond rwyf am ddweud mai'r hyn sy'n bwysig yw ein bod wedi ymrwymo i gyhoeddi strategaeth tlodi plant ar ei newydd wedd, ac wedi ymrwymo i weithio gyda rhanddeiliaid dros yr haf fel y gallwn ei chyhoeddi eleni.
