English: You describe the picture there of good practice around collaboration, but how consistent is that? That's not the impression we've had so far - that that isn't what's happening.
Welsh: Rydych chi'n disgrifio'r darlun yn fanna o ymarfer da o gwmpas cydweithio, ond pa mor gyson ydy hwnna? Nid dyna'r argraff rydym ni wedi'i chael cyn belled - mai nid hynna sydd yn digwydd, yn anffodus.
English: Yes. I think, unfortunately, it's not consistent throughout Wales. It's not consistent within authorities sometimes. There are some schools that are excellent in terms of collaboration with other agencies and other schools. In our view, the local authorities have a crucial role in leading this work. So, if you have that strategic leadership and a strategic plan coming from the local authority, which plans that broad range of provision to support, from the early days when you've seen that perhaps there is some need among the young people, that is when it works better, and they're leading those schools and creating a context where it is important that schools collaborate with them and with each other also. But it's not consistent throughout Wales.
Welsh: Ie. Dwi'n meddwl, yn anffodus, dyw e ddim yn gyson ar draws Cymru. Dyw e ddim yn gyson o fewn awdurdodau weithiau. Mae yna rai ysgolion sy'n arbennig o dda yn cydweithio ag asiantaethau eraill a gyda ysgolion eraill. Yn ein barn ni, mae gan yr awdurdod lleol rôl hollbwysig yn arwain y gwaith yma. So, os ydych chi'n cael yr arweinyddiaeth strategol a'r cynllun strategol o'r awdurdod lleol, sy'n cynllunio'r ystod eang o ddarpariaeth yna i gefnogi, o'r dyddiau cynnar pryd rydych chi wedi gweld, efallai, bod rhyw angen gyda'r bobl ifanc, dyna pryd mae e'n gweithio'n well, ac maen nhw'n arwain yr ysgolion ac yn creu'r cyd-destun lle mae'n bwysig bod yr ysgolion yn cydweithio â nhw a gyda'i gilydd hefyd. Ond dyw e ddim yn gyson ar draws Cymru eto.
English: How well are EOTAS settings prepared for the Welsh Government's education reforms?
Welsh: Pa mor dda y mae lleoliadau EOTAS wedi eu paratoi ar gyfer diwygiadau addysg Llywodraeth Cymru?
English: I'll just concentrate on managed moves. I think we've covered the other areas. You say in your evidence that you've noticed that the definition of managed moves has changed over time. What is the problem with that, and is there a need to define it in a more detailed way once more?
Welsh: Gwnaf i jest ganolbwyntio ar y symudiadau a reolir. Dwi yn meddwl ein bod ni wedi cyfro'r meysydd eraill. Rydych chi yn dweud yn eich tystiolaeth eich bod chi wedi sylwi bod y diffiniad o symudiad a reolir wedi newid dros amser. Beth ydy'r broblem efo hynny i gyd? Oes angen ei ddiffinio fo yn fwy manwl unwaith eto?
English: You have touched on the fact that budgets reducing within schools means that the same level of support is not available for young people and children, and that that then contributes towards greater numbers of them not being kept within schools. But to turn to the problems of the funding that is available for EOTAS, the specific pot of funding, is there enough money in it?
Welsh: Rydych chi wedi cyffwrdd ar y ffaith fod cyllidebau yn crebachu o fewn ysgolion yn golygu efallai nad ydy'r un lefel o gefnogaeth ar gael ar gyfer pobl ifanc a phlant, a bod hynny efallai yn cyfrannu tuag at fwy ohonyn nhw yn cael eu diystyru o ysgolion. Ond i droi at broblemau yr arian sydd ar gael ar gyfer addysg heblaw yn yr ysgol, y pot penodol yna o arian, a oes yna ddigon o bres yn fanna?
English: 'No', is the simple answer.
Welsh: 'Nac oes', ydy'r ateb syml.
English: I thought you'd say that.
Welsh: Ro'n i'n meddwl eich bod chi'n mynd i ddweud hynny.
English: That's part of the problem. Local authorities have devolved a lot of the money over the years to schools. Pressure's been put on them by the Westminster Government, before education was a responsibility of Wales, to increase the proportion of money that's gone to schools. That means there's a problem of capacity in authorities centrally in a number of areas, not just in children's behaviour and supporting children with additional needs. As a result, what tends to happen is that money is devolved, the responsibility is being devolved to schools as well, and there's not a lot of central expertise to support children. A problem that rural authorities are facing is that, if they appoint people with expertise to support children as individuals or institutions, the distance they have to travel means sometimes they have half an hour, 20 minutes, with a child, because they're travelling from one side of the county to another. That is not good for provision.
Welsh: Mae hynny yn rhan o'r broblem. Mae awdurdodau wedi datganoli tipyn o bres dros y blynyddoedd i ysgolion. Mae yna bwysau wedi cael ei roi arnyn nhw gan Lywodraeth San Steffan, cyn dirprwyo cyfrifoldeb dros addysg i Gymru, i gynyddu canran y pres sy'n cael ei ddirprwyo i ysgolion. Mae hynny yn golygu bod yna issues capasiti yng nghanol yr awdurdod dros nifer o feysydd, nid jest ymddygiad plant a chefnogi plant efo anghenion ychwanegol. O ganlyniad, beth sy'n tueddu i ddigwydd ydy mae'r pres yn cael ei ddatganoli, mae'r cyfrifoldeb yn cael ei ddatganoli i ysgolion hefyd, a does dim lot o arbenigedd canolog i gefnogi plant. Un broblem, unwaith eto, mae awdurdodau gwledig yn wynebu ydy, os ydyn nhw'n penodi pobl efo arbenigedd i gynorthwyo plant fel unigolion neu sefydliadau, mae'r pellter maen nhw'n gorfod teithio yn golygu weithiau bod ganddyn nhw hanner awr, 20 munud, efo plentyn, oherwydd maen nhw'n teithio o un ochr y sir i'r ochr arall. Mae hynny, wrth gwrs, yn niweidiol i ddarpariaeth beth bynnag.
English: So, this argument that more money should go directly to schools is one that, you think, is overturned in this area.
Welsh: Felly, mae'r ddadl yma y dylai mwy o arian fynd yn uniongyrchol i ysgolion, rydych chi'n meddwl, yn cael ei throi ar ei phen yn y maes yma, beth bynnag.
English: No, because we have improved behaviour and support for children because money is devolved. The issue is you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. If the authority were able to have more money to create central provision with experts in the various fields - . We'd be able to fill one class with autistic children in one year, because there are so many of them. There is some support from the authority, but we can't afford to appoint somebody with expertise in that field. We can support them, but not a person with expertise. So, if all the money is devolved to us, once more, we'd be able to use the money to contribute towards it, but we would have to take money from another provision. If money is given back to the authority, provision in school is going to suffer anyway. Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Welsh: Na, oherwydd rydym ni wedi gwella ymddygiad a chefnogaeth i blant oherwydd bod pres wedi cael ei ddatganoli. Yr issue ydy robbing Peter to pay Paul. Pe bai'r awdurdod yn gallu cael mwy o bres i greu darpariaeth ganolog efo arbenigwyr yn y meysydd gwahanol - . Buaswn i'n gallu llenwi un dosbarth efo plant awtistig mewn un flwyddyn, mae yna gymaint ohonyn nhw. Mae yna ychydig o gefnogaeth gan yr awdurdod, ond fedrwn ni ddim fforddio penodi person sydd efo arbenigedd yn y maes. Rydan ni'n gallu eu cefnogi nhw, ond nid person efo arbenigedd. So, os yw'r holl bres yn cael ei ddatganoli atom ni, unwaith eto, mi fuasem ni'n gallu defnyddio'r pres i gyfrannu ato fo, ond mwy na thebyg mi fuasem ni'n gallu tynnu pres o ddarpariaeth arall. Os ydy'r pres yn cael ei roi yn ôl i'r awdurdod, mae'r ddarpariaeth yn yr ysgol yn mynd i ddioddef beth bynnag. Robbing Peter to pay Paul, felly.
English: Okay. So, there's not enough money in the system.
Welsh: Ocê. Hynny yw, does yna ddim digon o bres yn y system.
English: I apologise, I don't speak Welsh.
Welsh: Mae'n ddrwg gen i, dwi ddim yn siarad Cymraeg.
English: It's all right.
Welsh: Mae'n iawn.
English: You talked about ERW, where the money isn't there centrally, but are there examples of consortia or local authorities coming together to commission the provision?
Welsh: Roeddech chi'n sôn am ERW, lle dydy'r arian ddim yna'n ganolog, ond a oes yna enghreifftiau o gonsortia neu awdurdodau lleol yn dod at ei gilydd i gomisiynu'r ddarpariaeth?
English: So, could it happen across north Wales, perhaps?
Welsh: Hynny yw, a allai ddigwydd ar draws y gogledd?
English: Possibly. But there's a question then of where do you centralise the provision. Or, if you provide some money to schools or to clusters and so forth, the same issue arises in terms of how much money and is it sufficient to make appointments.
Welsh: Digon posib. Mae yna gwestiwn wedyn am lle rydych chi'n canoli'r ddarpariaeth. Neu, os ydych chi'n dosrannu ychydig o bres i ysgolion neu i glystyrau ac yn y blaen, mae'r un issue yn codi ynglŷn â faint o bres ac a ydy'r maint yn ddigonol i wneud penodiadau.
English: But what if there were a pool of providers who have been approved by the local authorities? Would there be advantages to that, or disadvantages to that kind of set up?
Welsh: Beth petai yna gronfa o ddarparwyr sydd wedi cael eu cymeradwyo gan yr awdurdodau lleol? A fyddai yna fanteision i hynny, neu anfanteision i'r math yna o set up?
English: It depends who they are, what is the quality of the provision, and where they are.
Welsh: Mae'n dibynnu pwy ydyn nhw, beth ydy ansawdd y ddarpariaeth, a lle maen nhw.
English: Do independent schools offer better value for money, therefore?
Welsh: Ydy ysgolion annibynnol yn cynnig gwell gwerth am arian?
English: Unlikely, I'd say.
Welsh: Annhebygol, buaswn i'n dweud.
English: The first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the Minister for Finance, and the first question is from David Melding.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf ar ein hagenda ni y prynhawn yma yw'r cwestiynau i'r Gweinidog Cyllid, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan David Melding.
English: Our draft budget delivers on our promises to the people of Wales, including in the Rhondda valley. We are investing £284 million across Rhondda Cynon Taf through our band B twenty-first century schools programme; £2.7 million in expanding Welsh-medium childcare, and the new rail franchise is delivering enhanced services.
Welsh: Mae ein cyllideb ddrafft yn cyflawni ein haddewidion i bobl Cymru, gan gynnwys yng nghwm Rhondda. Rydym yn buddsoddi £284 miliwn yn Rhondda Cynon Taf drwy fand B rhaglen ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain; £2.7 miliwn yn y gwaith o ehangu gofal plant cyfrwng Cymraeg, ac mae'r fasnachfraint rheilffyrdd newydd yn darparu gwasanaethau gwell.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister. Indeed, it's rail and other public transport that I wanted to talk about. And I do hope that Transport for Wales will make it a consistent priority to improve the services, both the extent of them and the facilities on them, so that the Valleys, and their wonderful potential of highly skilled people, are able to access well-paid jobs, and, also, that the foundation economy within the Valleys really is expressed to its fullest, as we've had some good news there in the recent past. But, traditionally, infrastructure spending has just not been high enough in places like the Rhondda Valleys.
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Yn wir, roeddwn am sôn am reilffyrdd a mathau eraill o drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus. Ac rwy'n gobeithio y bydd Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn sicrhau bod gwella'r gwasanaethau yn flaenoriaeth gyson, o ran eu maint a'r cyfleusterau sydd arnynt, fel bod y Cymoedd, a'u potensial rhyfeddol o bobl fedrus iawn, yn gallu cael mynediad at swyddi sy'n talu'n dda, a bod yr economi sylfaenol yn y Cymoedd yn cael ei mynegi i'r eithaf, gan ein bod wedi cael newyddion da yn hynny o beth yn ddiweddar. Ond yn draddodiadol, nid yw gwariant ar seilwaith wedi bod yn ddigon mewn lleoedd fel Cymoedd Rhondda.
English: I completely agree with David Melding that rail lines, particularly into Cardiff, but also elsewhere from the Valleys, are absolutely crucial to opening up people's prospects for employment. And that's why we're investing £738 million to transform the Valleys lines to Trehebert, Aberdare, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhymney and Coryton, electrifying 172 kilometres of track, and upgrading infrastructure to enable improved journey times and more trains every hour, and to provide a metro-style service by December 2020. But, in the meantime, from 15 December, Transport for Wales increased capacity for thousands of extra rail commuters a week, whilst introducing additional trains right across the Wales and Borders rail network, and that represents an increase of 10 per cent capacity for service users. So, I think a good start, but, certainly, lots of ambition and lots more to do.
Welsh: Cytunaf yn llwyr â David Melding fod rheilffyrdd, yn enwedig i mewn i Gaerdydd, ond hefyd mewn mannau eraill allan o'r Cymoedd, yn gwbl hanfodol i ehangu rhagolygon gwaith pobl. A dyna pam ein bod yn buddsoddi £738 miliwn i drawsnewid rheilffyrdd y Cymoedd i Drehebert, Aberdâr, Merthyr Tudful, Rhymni a Coryton, gan drydaneiddio 172 cilomedr o reilffyrdd, ac uwchraddio seilwaith i sicrhau gwell amseroedd teithio a mwy o drenau bob awr, ac i ddarparu gwasanaeth metro erbyn mis Rhagfyr 2020. Ond yn y cyfamser, o 15 Rhagfyr, mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru wedi cynyddu capasiti ar gyfer miloedd o gymudwyr ychwanegol ar y rheilffyrdd bob wythnos, gan gyflwyno trenau ychwanegol ar draws rhwydwaith rheilffyrdd Cymru a'r Gororau, ac mae hynny'n gynnydd o 10 y cant mewn capasiti ar gyfer defnyddwyr y gwasanaeth. Felly, credaf fod hynny'n ddechrau da, ond yn sicr, mae llawer o uchelgais i'w gael a llawer mwy i'w wneud.
English: As this Senedd knows, I'm a big champion of the Rhondda tunnel project. I'm also a member of the society that is seeking to reopen this engineering marvel. I'm supportive because the potential for the Rhondda and Afan Valleys is huge if the project can be brought to fruition. If it could be linked with leisure activities, such as the excellent mountain biking and road biking that Rhondda and Afan have to offer, not to mention the prospect of a zip wire attraction nearby in Rhigos, the potential for attracting visitors and boosting the local economy is vast. Unfortunately, we've got the same stumbling block in place as we had when I first began raising this project many, many years ago, and that's the question of ownership. The people driving the project are crying out for the Welsh Government and/or Rhondda Cynon Taf council to step up and take ownership of this asset on behalf of the people, so that it can progress to the next stage of development - the grant-giving process. Without the issue of ownership resolved, applying for those grants can't really happen. So, the estimated cost implications of taking ownership of the tunnel in its current state is next to nothing. In fact, it comes with an offer, a one-off offer, of a £60,000 payment from the current owners, Highways England. So, can you therefore tell us whether or not there is a financial reason for the Welsh Government not taking ownership of the Rhondda tunnel?
Welsh: Fel y gŵyr y Senedd hon, rwy'n cefnogi prosiect twnnel y Rhondda yn frwd. Rwyf hefyd yn aelod o'r gymdeithas sy'n ceisio ailagor y rhyfeddod peirianegol hwn. Rwy'n gefnogol gan y byddai'r potensial i Gwm Rhondda a Chwm Afan yn enfawr pe bai'r prosiect yn dwyn ffrwyth. Pe bai modd ei gysylltu â gweithgareddau hamdden, fel y cyfleoedd rhagorol sydd gan Rhondda ac Afan i'w cynnig mewn perthynas â beicio mynydd a beicio ffordd, heb sôn am y syniad o weiren wib gyfagos yn y Rhigos, mae'r potensial i ddenu ymwelwyr a rhoi hwb i'r economi leol yn enfawr. Yn anffodus, mae'r un rhwystr yn ein hwynebu â'r hyn oedd yn ein hwynebu pan ddechreuais siarad am y prosiect hwn flynyddoedd lawer yn ôl, sef y cwestiwn ynghylch perchnogaeth. Mae'r bobl sy'n llywio'r prosiect yn ymbil ar Lywodraeth Cymru a/neu gyngor Rhondda Cynon Taf i gymryd perchnogaeth ar yr ased hwn ar ran y bobl, fel y gall symud ymlaen i'r cam datblygu nesaf - y broses o gael grant. Heb ddatrys y mater ynghylch perchnogaeth, ni ellir ymgeisio am y grantiau hynny mewn gwirionedd. Felly, mae'r goblygiadau a amcangyfrifir o ran cost yn sgil cymryd perchnogaeth ar y twnnel yn ei gyflwr presennol yn nesaf peth i ddim. Mewn gwirionedd, daw gyda chynnig, cynnig untro, o daliad o £60,000 gan y perchnogion presennol, Highways England. Felly, a allwch ddweud wrthym a oes rheswm ariannol i Lywodraeth Cymru beidio â chymryd perchnogaeth ar dwnnel y Rhondda?
English: Welsh Government shares your enthusiasm for the Rhondda tunnel, and support for the society. My husband's a Tynewydd boy, and we've got family in Blaencwm, so I very much look forward to one day being able to potentially cycle through the Rhondda tunnel. So, you certainly have my support, and the society has my support. I do know that there are discussions, as you say, underway with Highways England, to better understand the asset that we would be taking control of, because, clearly, some funding does need to come with that, and those discussions as yet are ongoing. I believe it's my colleague Lee Waters who leads on that, and I'll be sure that we do provide you with the very latest on that. FootnoteLink
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n rhannu eich brwdfrydedd ynglŷn â thwnnel Rhondda, a'ch cefnogaeth i'r gymdeithas. Mae fy ngŵr yn dod o Dynewydd, ac mae gennym deulu ym Mlaen-y-Cwm, felly edrychaf ymlaen yn fawr at allu beicio drwy dwnnel y Rhondda un diwrnod. Felly, yn sicr mae gennych fy nghefnogaeth i, ac mae gan y gymdeithas fy nghefnogaeth. Gwn fod trafodaethau, fel y dywedwch, yn mynd rhagddynt gyda Highways England, i ddeall yn well yr ased y byddem yn cymryd rheolaeth ohono, oherwydd, yn amlwg, mae angen i rywfaint o gyllid ddod gyda hynny, ac mae'r trafodaethau hynny'n parhau ar hyn o bryd. Credaf mai fy nghyd-Weinidog Lee Waters sy'n arwain y gwaith hwnnw, a byddaf yn sicrhau ein bod yn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i chi am hynny. FootnoteLink
English: The budget invests in all parts of Wales to support our public services, including a £20 million boost for the north Wales metro, continued investment in Flintshire for band B of the twenty-first century schools programme, and a range of active travel paths. The local government settlement also provides a 3.7 per cent increase for Flintshire.
Welsh: Mae'r gyllideb yn buddsoddi ym mhob rhan o Gymru i gefnogi ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys hwb o £20 miliwn i fetro gogledd Cymru, buddsoddiad parhaus yn sir y Fflint ar gyfer band B rhaglen ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, ac amryw o lwybrau teithio llesol. Mae'r setliad llywodraeth leol hefyd yn darparu cynnydd o 3.7 y cant ar gyfer sir y Fflint.
English: Thank you for the answer, Minister. As you know, I've spoken in this Chamber before about the pressures that continued austerity places on local government. Decisions made in Westminster have a huge impact on the ground in Flintshire. Now, many of us are disappointed at the news that the UK Government, post election, have no intention of keeping their promise to end austerity. The impact of austerity can be seen on the very streets of Deeside. Minister, as I have said before, budget lines like the housing support grant are absolutely vital if councils are to mitigate the impact of austerity. This funding allocated by this grant is struggling to keep with the need. Would you look at the possibility of finding additional funds for this grant, or provide councils like Flintshire County Council with additional cash, to help support the most vulnerable in our communities?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Fel y gwyddoch, rwyf wedi sôn yn y Siambr hon eisoes am y pwysau y mae cyni parhaus yn ei roi ar lywodraeth leol. Mae penderfyniadau a wneir yn San Steffan yn cael effaith enfawr ar lawr gwlad yn sir y Fflint. Nawr, mae llawer ohonom yn siomedig ynglŷn â'r newyddion nad oes gan Lywodraeth y DU, ar ôl yr etholiad, unrhyw fwriad i gadw eu haddewid i ddod â chyni i ben. Gellir gweld effaith cyni ar strydoedd Glannau Dyfrdwy. Weinidog, fel rwyf wedi'i ddweud o'r blaen, mae llinellau cyllideb fel y grant cymorth tai yn gwbl hanfodol os yw cynghorau am liniaru effaith cyni. Mae'n anodd diwallu'r angen â'r cyllid a ddyrannwyd gan y grant. A wnewch chi edrych ar y posibilrwydd o ddod o hyd i arian ychwanegol ar gyfer y grant hwn, neu ddarparu arian ychwanegol i gynghorau fel Cyngor Sir y Fflint, i helpu i gefnogi'r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymunedau?
English: I thank Jack Sargeant for his question, and for his support for services for homeless people. He knows that, this year, we've maintained the level of funding in the housing support grant at £126.8 million. And I think that our record in Wales does compare very favourably with that across the border, where Supporting People is concerned. Because the budget there was de-hypothecated, leading to significant cuts in the service, according to the National Audit Office. But, as the Member knows, we're currently going through the scrutiny phase now of the 2020-21 budget, and I am listening carefully. And I know that there have been some messages about Members' priorities, which have been coming through loud and clear. So, I'll certainly seek - when I do lay the final budget, in that final budget debate - to recognise where my priorities would be, should there be additional revenue coming forth from the 11 March budget from the UK Government.
Welsh: Diolch i Jack Sargeant am ei gwestiwn, ac am ei gefnogaeth i wasanaethau ar gyfer pobl ddigartref. Gŵyr ein bod wedi cynnal lefel y cyllid eleni yn y grant cymorth tai ar £126.8 miliwn. A chredaf fod ein cyflawniad yng Nghymru yn cymharu'n ffafriol iawn â'r hyn a wnaed dros y ffin, mewn perthynas â Cefnogi Pobl. Oherwydd cafodd y gyllideb yno ei dadneilltuo, gan arwain at doriadau sylweddol yn y gwasanaeth, yn ôl y Swyddfa Archwilio Genedlaethol. Ond, fel y gŵyr yr Aelod, mae'r gwaith o graffu ar gyllideb 2020-21 yn mynd rhagddo, ac rwy'n gwrando'n ofalus. A gwn y bu rhai negeseuon am flaenoriaethau Aelodau, sydd wedi cael eu cyfleu'n gwbl glir. Felly, byddaf yn sicr yn ceisio gweld - pan fyddaf yn pennu'r gyllideb derfynol, yn y ddadl derfynol honno ar y gyllideb - beth fyddai fy mlaenoriaethau pe baem yn cael refeniw ychwanegol o gyllideb Llywodraeth y DU ar 11 Mawrth.
