English: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Finance Committee meeting. Can I note that headsets are available for interpretation or for a sound amplification? Can I further remind Members to turn off the sound on any electronic devices they may have? And can I also ask whether Members have any declarations of interest? No, fine.
Welsh: Bore da, bawb. Croeso i gyfarfod y Pwyllgor Cyllid. Gaf i nodi bod clustffonau ar gael ar gyfer offer cyfieithu neu addasu lefel y sain? Gaf i atgoffa Aelodau hefyd i ddiffodd y sain ar unrhyw declynnau electronig, a hefyd gaf i ofyn os oes gan unrhyw Aelodau unrhyw fuddiannau i'w datgan? Nac oes. Iawn.
English: So, we will go on to the main item of this meeting, which is scrutiny of the Welsh Government's second supplementary budget for 2019-20. It's a pleasure to welcome the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd, Rebecca Evans, once again - welcome to the meeting this morning - along with her officials, Sharon Bounds, who is head of budgetary control and financial policy with the Welsh Government, and Matthew Denham-Jones, who is deputy director of financial controls in the Welsh Government also. We'll go straight into questions, if that's okay with you, and I'll start, if I may, by asking you about the financial transactions capital in the budget. You say that you disagree with the rationale of the UK Government regarding the financial transactions capital, and I just want you to explain, in effect, on what issue you disagree.
Welsh: Felly, ymlaen â ni at brif eitem y cyfarfod heddiw, sef craffu ar ail gyllideb atodol y Llywodraeth ar gyfer 2019-20. Mae'n bleser gen i groesawu y Gweinidog Cyllid a'r Trefnydd, Rebecca Evans, atom ni unwaith eto - croeso i'r pwyllgor y bore yma - ynghyd â'i swyddogion, Sharon Bounds, sy'n bennaeth rheoli cyllidebau a pholisi ariannol gyda'r Llywodraeth, a Matthew Denham-Jones, dirprwy gyfarwyddwr rheoli ariannol gyda'r Llywodraeth hefyd. Mi awn ni'n syth i gwestiynau os ydy hynny'n iawn a gwnaf i gychwyn, os caf i, drwy holi ynglŷn â chyfalaf trafodion ariannol. Rŷch chi'n dweud yn naratif y gyllideb eich bod chi'n anghytuno â rationale Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig ynglŷn â chyfalaf trafodion ariannol, a dwi jest eisiau ichi egluro, i bob pwrpas, beth yw'r mater ŷch chi'n anghytuno ag ef.
English: Do you want to come in?
Welsh: Wyt ti eisiau dod i mewn?
English: Yes, please. Just because it's timely, the announcement yesterday about HS2 and where that fits into this. That is, do you expect to receive consequential funding in the budget, in the adjustment in March, or is there funding here? How does that process work in terms of an announcement about one major scheme like that?
Welsh: Ydw, plis. Jest achos ei fod o'n amserol iawn, y cyhoeddiad ddoe ynglŷn â HS2, a lle mae hynna'n ffitio mewn i hyn i gyd. Hynny yw, ydych chi'n disgwyl cael arian consequential yn y gyllideb, yn addasiad mis Mawrth, ynteu oes yna arian yn fan hyn? Sut mae'r broses yna i gyd yn gweithio o ran cyhoeddiad am un cynllun mawr fel yna?
English: We have already touched a little on the changing situation regarding leaving the EU, et cetera. The narrative of the budget refers to allocations of £108 million, including £33 million to support businesses in the face of Brexit. This is less, of course, than the figures that were published in November, where the figure was £130 million, including £53 million for Brexit support. What are the reasons for that difference?
Welsh: Rydyn ni wedi cyffwrdd ychydig bach ar y sefyllfa gyfnewidiol sydd yna oherwydd gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, ac yn y blaen. Yn naratif y gyllideb rydych chi'n cyfeirio at ddyraniadau o £108 miliwn, gan gynnwys £33 miliwn i gefnogi busnesau yn wyneb Brexit. Mae hyn yn llai, wrth gwrs, nac oedd y ffigurau gafodd eu cyhoeddi ym mis Tachwedd, lle'r oedd y ffigur yn £130 miliwn, yn cynnwys £53 miliwn ar gyfer cymorth Brexit. Beth ydy'r rheswm am y gwahaniaeth yma?
English: Okay, but in terms of these SMEs and the £20 million - has that fund, therefore, gone to other reserves? Or is that money just - you don't feel that they need that support anymore.
Welsh: Ocê, ond o ran yr SMEs yma a'r £20 miliwn - ydy'r arian yna wedi mynd i gronfeydd eraill, felly, i'w helpu nhw mewn ffyrdd eraill? Neu ydy'r arian yna jest - dydych chi ddim yn teimlo eu bod nhw angen y gefnogaeth yna ddim mwy.
English: Okay. And then the European Union match funding - everyone is very concerned about what's going to happen to that funding. Can you give any update in terms of your discussions to ensure that we do get the most that Wales can be entitled to as a result of Brexit?
Welsh: Ocê. Ac wedyn, arian cyfatebol yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, wrth gwrs - mae pawb yn bryderus iawn ynglŷn â beth sy'n mynd i ddigwydd i hwnnw. Fedrwch chi roi unrhyw fath o ddiweddariad i ni ynglŷn â'ch trafodaethau chi i wneud yn siŵr ein bod ni'n cael y swm mwyaf posibl o gyllid yn sgil gadael Brexit, rŵan?
English: We'll move into private session.
Welsh: Awn i mewn i sesiwn breifat.
English: Good morning to you all, and welcome to the latest meeting of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee here at the Senedd. Under item 1, introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest and so on, may I welcome my fellow Members to this meeting of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee? We have received apologies for absence from David Rees this morning, and there is no-one substituting for him. May I explain to you also that this meeting is bilingual? Headsets are available to hear interpretation from Welsh to English on channel 1, or to hear amplification on channel 2. We don't expect a fire alarm this morning. So, if an alarm should sound, you should follow the instructions of the ushers.
Welsh: Bore da i chi i gyd, a chroeso i gyfarfod diweddaraf y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon yma yn y Senedd. O dan eitem 1, cyflwyniadau, ymddiheuriadau, dirprwyon a datgan buddiannau ac ati, allaf i groesawu fy nghyd-Aelodau i'r cyfarfod yma o'r Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon? Rydym ni wedi derbyn ymddiheuriadau oddi wrth David Rees y bore yma, ac nid oes neb yn dirprwyo ar ei ran. Allaf i bellach yn egluro bod y cyfarfod yma, yn naturiol, yn ddwyieithog? Gellid defnyddio clustffonau i glywed cyfieithu ar y pryd o'r Gymraeg i'r Saesneg ar sianel 1, neu i glywed cyfraniadau yn yr iaith wreiddiol yn well ar sianel 2. Dydyn ni ddim yn disgwyl larwm tân y bore yma. Felly, os bydd larwm tân yn canu, dylid dilyn cyfarwyddiadau'r tywyswyr yn hynny o beth.
English: So, with that much of an introduction, we'll move on now to item 2, which is general scrutiny this morning, and an evidence session with the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust. To that end, I'm very happy to welcome members of WAST, and I'd like to thank you in advance for your written submissions, which have been read in quite a lot of detail by my fellow Members. So, we have a series of questions that have been based on that evidence, and evidence that has been submitted from other places, naturally. So, as everyone knows, the committee has engaged in a programme of scrutiny of all health boards and trusts over the summer term, and this latest session is taking place as part of that programme. So, I'm very happy to welcome to the table: Martin Woodford, who is the chair of WAST; Jason Killens, who is the chief executive of the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust; Dr Brendan Lloyd, medical director, Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust; and also Claire Roche, executive director of quality and nursing with WAST. A very snappy title. So, we'll go straight into questions, and the first questions are from Rhun ap Iorwerth.
Welsh: Felly, gyda chymaint â hynny o ragymadrodd, fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen i eitem 2, gwaith craffu cyffredinol y pwyllgor yma, a sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Ymddiriedolaeth Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol Gwasanaethau Ambiwlans Cymru. I'r perwyl yna, dwi'n falch iawn o groesawu aelodau o ymddiriedolaeth gwasanaethau ambiwlans Cymru i'r bwrdd, a diolch ymlaen llaw am yr adroddiadau ysgrifenedig sydd wedi cael eu darllen gyda chryn dipyn o fanylder gan fy nghyd-Aelodau. Felly, mae gyda ni res o gwestiynau sydd wedi'u seilio ar y dystiolaeth yna, ac hefyd tystiolaeth sydd wedi dod o lefydd eraill, yn naturiol. Felly, fel y bydd pawb yn gwybod yn fan hyn, mae'r pwyllgor yma wedi cymryd rhan mewn rhaglen graffu ar yr holl fyrddau iechyd ac ymddiriedolaethau dros dymor yr haf, ac wrth gwrs mae'r sesiwn dystiolaeth ddiweddaraf yma yn rhan o'r rhaglen yna. Felly, dwi'n falch iawn o groesawu i'r bwrdd: Martin Woodford, cadeirydd Ymddiriedolaeth Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol Gwasanaethau Ambiwlans Cymru; Jason Killens, prif weithredwr Ymddiriedolaeth Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol Gwasanaethau Ambiwlans Cymru; Dr Brendan Lloyd, cyfarwyddwr meddygol Ymddiriedolaeth Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol Gwasanaethau Ambiwlans Cymru; ac hefyd Claire Roche, cyfarwyddwr gweithredol ansawdd a nyrsio Ymddiriedolaeth Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol Gwasanaethau Ambiwlans Cymru. Snappy title. Fe awn ni yn syth mewn i gwestiynau, a'r cwestiynau cyntaf gan Rhun.
English: Thank you very much. Good morning to you all. A few questions from me regarding the financial position of the trust. How would you describe your current financial position?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Bore da i chi i gyd. Ychydig o gwestiynau gennyf i am sefyllfa ariannol yr ymddiriedolaeth. Sut fyddech chi'n disgrifio eich sefyllfa ariannol gyfredol?
English: Galloping on now to Rhun. A number of these questions have been partially answered regarding service developments and workforce, but Rhun.
Welsh: Ocê. Carlamu ymlaen rŵan i Rhun. Mae yna nifer o'r cwestiynau wedi eu rhannol ateb ynglŷn â datblygiadau yn y gwasanaeth a'r gweithlu, ond Rhun.
English: I was going to ask a question about the workforce in terms of your evidence that you've submitted. The demand and capacity review identifies the need for an additional 537.5 full-time equivalent staff, to be detail correct. Is this affordable and realistic and achievable? And another question: is this bigger workforce that we will need going to be a different one in terms of advanced paramedic practitioners, and so forth? Is there going to be a different nature to this workforce?
Welsh: Mae gen i ychydig o gwestiynau ynglŷn â'r gweithlu er mwyn profi rhai o'r pethau sydd wedi cael ei dweud yn eich tystiolaeth chi, ac ati. Mae'r adolygiad o alw a chapasiti yn sôn am angen dros 500 o aelodau staff cyfwerth ag amser llawn i ddiwallu anghenion y gwasanaeth yn y dyfodol - 537.5 a bod yn fanwl gywir. A ydy hwnnw'n realistig? A ydy o'n gyrraeddadwy a fforddiadwy? A'r cwestiwn arall cysylltiedig â hynny: a ydy'r gweithlu mwy yma rydyn ni'n mynd i fod angen yn mynd i fod yn weithlu gwahanol? Er enghraifft, dwi'n meddwl am advanced paramedic practitioners, ac yn y blaen. A oes yna natur wahanol yn mynd i fod i'r gweithlu?
English: Okay, thank you very much. That's the end of the session. Thank you very much for your attendance this morning and also for providing the written evidence in advance. You will receive a transcript of the proceedings so that you can check them for factual accuracy. But with those few words, thank you very much, and that's the end of that session. Thank you.
Welsh: Ocê, diolch yn fawr. Dyna ddiwedd y sesiwn. Diolch yn fawr iawn am eich presenoldeb y bore yma a hefyd am ddarparu'r dystiolaeth ysgrifenedig ymlaen llaw. Mi fyddwch chi'n derbyn trawsgrifiad o'r trafodaethau yn fan hyn er mwyn ichi allu gwirio eu bod yn ffeithiol gywir. Ond gyda chymaint â hynna o ragymadrodd, diolch yn fawr iawn i chi, a dyna ddiwedd y sesiwn yna. Diolch yn fawr.
English: To my fellow Members, we move on to item 3 on the agenda, which is a motion under Standing Order 17.42 (vi) to resolve to exclude the public for the remainder of today's meeting. All content?
Welsh: I'm cyd-Aelodau, dŷn ni'n symud ymlaen i eitem 3 ar yr agenda, a chynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 (vi) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod heddiw. Ydy pawb yn gytûn?
English: All content. Thank you very much. We'll go into private session, therefore. Thank you.
Welsh: Pawb yn gytûn. Diolch yn fawr. Awn ni mewn i sesiwn breifat, felly. Diolch yn fawr.
English: The first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the Minister for Education, and the first question is from Joyce Watson.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf ar ein hagenda ni y prynhawn yma yw cwestiynau i'r Gweinidog Addysg, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Joyce Watson.
English: Our most recent statistical release, for the period of 2017-18, shows almost 11,500 children received counselling, comparable to numbers in previous years. In the current year, we also made an additional £626,000 - no; yes, £626,000 - available to local authorities to support improvements to the service as part of our work on developing a whole-school approach to mental health and well-being.
Welsh: Mae ein datganiad ystadegol diweddaraf, ar gyfer y cyfnod 2017-18, yn dangos bod bron i 11,500 o blant wedi cael gwasanaeth cwnsela, sy'n debyg i'r niferoedd yn y blynyddoedd blaenorol. Yn y flwyddyn gyfredol, darparwyd £626,000 yn ychwanegol gennym - na; ie, £626,000 - i awdurdodau lleol i gefnogi gwelliannau i'r gwasanaeth fel rhan o'n gwaith ar ddatblygu dull ysgol gyfan o ymdrin ag iechyd meddwl a lles.
English: I thank you for that answer, and it really is a good investment in the well-being of young people. But there was a report by the Children, Young People and Education Committee in 2018, and it reviewed school-based counselling and found that the service was indeed making a significant contribution to building an emotionally resilient population of young people. But there was one area of concern that was raised by the children, and that was the sense of being stigmatised about accessing the service by having to leave school lessons in order to do so. So, my question, really, is: that having been said, Minister, what actions have been taken since that report to reduce that stigma around school-based counselling so that children and young people continue to access what, for them, is a much needed service?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, ac mae'n fuddsoddiad da iawn yn lles pobl ifanc. Ond cafwyd adroddiad gan y Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg yn 2018 a oedd yn adolygu cwnsela yn yr ysgol, a chanfu fod y gwasanaeth yn wir yn gwneud cyfraniad sylweddol tuag at feithrin poblogaeth o bobl ifanc wydn yn emosiynol. Ond nodwyd un maes pryder gan y plant, sef yr ymdeimlad o gael eich difrïo am ddefnyddio'r gwasanaeth gan fod yn rhaid gadael gwersi ysgol er mwyn gwneud hynny. Felly, fy nghwestiwn, mewn gwirionedd, yw: yng ngoleuni hynny, Weinidog, pa gamau a gymerwyd ers yr adroddiad hwnnw i leihau'r stigma ynghylch cwnsela yn yr ysgol fel bod plant a phobl ifanc yn parhau i gael mynediad at y gwasanaeth hwn y maent ei angen yn fawr?
English: Thank you, Joyce. Well, since the publication of that report, a great deal of work has been undertaken and continues to be driven forward. For example, by making all aware of the availability of both counselling provided in schools, in community-based settings, and, indeed, online, in a virtual world, our revised counselling toolkit, which will be published next month, will, I believe, help reduce stigma and normalise the use of counselling services. Our draft whole-school framework guidance, which will be formally consulted on in the next few weeks, also highlights the need for schools to ensure that spaces provided for school-based counselling and other well-being work should avoid having any such space labelled, so that we can avoid such stigma. Of course, as we move towards the delivery of our new curriculum, our health and well-being area of learning and experience will encourage children to take better care of both their physical and their mental health, and encourage help-seeking behaviours as an acceptable response when children feel upset or distressed.
Welsh: Diolch, Joyce. Wel, ers cyhoeddi'r adroddiad hwnnw, mae llawer iawn o waith wedi'i wneud ac yn parhau i fynd rhagddo. Er enghraifft, drwy sicrhau bod pawb yn ymwybodol o argaeledd gwasanaethau cwnsela a ddarperir mewn ysgolion, mewn lleoliadau cymunedol, ac yn wir, ar-lein, mewn byd rhithwir, credaf y bydd ein pecyn cymorth cwnsela diwygiedig, a fydd yn cael ei gyhoeddi y mis nesaf, yn helpu i leihau stigma a normaleiddio'r defnydd o wasanaethau cwnsela. Mae ein canllawiau fframwaith ysgol gyfan drafft, a fydd yn destun ymgynghori ffurfiol yn ystod yr wythnosau nesaf, hefyd yn tynnu sylw at yr angen i ysgolion sicrhau y dylid osgoi labelu lleoedd a ddarperir ar gyfer cwnsela yn yr ysgol, a gwaith llesiant arall, fel y gallwn osgoi stigma o'r fath. Wrth gwrs, wrth i ni symud tuag at gyflwyno ein cwricwlwm newydd, bydd ein meysydd dysgu a phrofiad iechyd a lles yn annog plant i ofalu am eu hiechyd corfforol a meddyliol, ac yn annog ymddygiad sy'n ceisio cymorth fel ymateb derbyniol pan fydd plant yn teimlo'n boenus neu'n ofidus.
English: Some of the schools in my region quite rightly use part of their pupil development grant to help support on-site school counselling services for pupils. What feedback have you had from schools who don't get high levels of PDG, and have seen cuts to their core funding, about the difficulties they might have in offering counselling on site?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Lywydd. Mae rhai o'r ysgolion yn fy rhanbarth, yn gwbl briodol, yn defnyddio rhan o'u grant datblygu disgyblion i helpu i gefnogi gwasanaethau cwnsela ysgolion ar y safle i ddisgyblion. Pa adborth a gawsoch gan ysgolion nad ydynt yn cael lefelau uchel o grant datblygu disgyblion, ac sydd wedi cael toriadau i'w cyllid craidd, ynghylch yr anawsterau y gallant eu hwynebu wrth gynnig cwnsela ar y safle?
English: Well, Suzy, as I have just answered to Joyce Watson, we are making over £600,000 extra available in this financial year to support counselling services, and, in the new financial year, additional resources will also be made available to look to extend support services for children - traditional counselling, but perhaps group-based approaches for younger children, to extend the help available to all schools.
Welsh: Wel, Suzy, fel rwyf newydd ddweud yn fy ateb i Joyce Watson, rydym yn sicrhau bod dros £600,000 yn ychwanegol ar gael yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon i gefnogi gwasanaethau cwnsela, ac yn y flwyddyn ariannol newydd, bydd adnoddau ychwanegol ar gael hefyd i geisio cynyddu gwasanaethau cymorth i blant - cwnsela traddodiadol, ond efallai dulliau grŵp ar gyfer plant iau, i gynyddu faint o gymorth sydd ar gael i bob ysgol.
English: Minister, in my constituency - I suppose I declare an interest, first of all, as a trustee of Eye to Eye, who provide some of the youth counselling service in my constituency - the work that is done is really in response to the fact that there are so many issues that are arising amongst young people. And the counselling service and the work that is done, I think, only re-emphasises to all of us how important that work is. What I do wonder is: across Wales, what work is being done to actually collate the overall statistics for the whole of Wales to get a picture of what is happening across Wales in respect of this incredibly important service?
Welsh: Weinidog, yn fy etholaeth i - mae'n debyg fy mod yn datgan buddiant, yn gyntaf oll, fel un o ymddiriedolwyr Eye to Eye, sy'n darparu peth o'r gwasanaeth cwnsela ieuenctid yn fy etholaeth - mae'r gwaith a wneir yn ymateb i'r ffaith bod cymaint o faterion yn codi ymhlith pobl ifanc. A chredaf fod y gwasanaeth cwnsela a'r gwaith a wneir yn ailbwysleisio i bob un ohonom pa mor bwysig yw'r gwaith hwnnw. Ond tybed: ledled Cymru, pa waith sy'n mynd rhagddo i goladu'r ystadegau cyffredinol ar gyfer Cymru gyfan i gael darlun o'r hyn sy'n digwydd ledled Cymru mewn perthynas â'r gwasanaeth hynod bwysig hwn?
English: You're right, Mick: we need to ensure that any Government investment and policy response to promoting children's good mental health and well-being needs to be on the basis of evidence. And there are a variety of ways in which we do that. We have the formal statistics that are collated as a part of the formal counselling service. Most recently, in reporting back to the 'Mind over matter' stakeholder group, representatives of the Association of Directors of Education in Wales had canvassed each local authority and had asked for details of services across Wales that both local authorities and schools were employing. And, of course, we also hear from young people themselves, via our support for the healthy schools questionnaire that goes out to young people, where they themselves have an opportunity to express how they're feeling about their own mental health and well-being. So, we use a variety of sources and data collection points to establish a firm evidence base for investment in this important area.
Welsh: Rydych yn llygad eich lle, Mick; mae angen inni sicrhau bod angen i unrhyw fuddsoddiad ac ymateb polisi gan y Llywodraeth i hyrwyddo iechyd meddwl a lles da ymhlith plant fod yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth. Ac mae nifer o ffyrdd rydym yn gwneud hynny. Mae gennym yr ystadegau ffurfiol sy'n cael eu coladu fel rhan o'r gwasanaeth cwnsela ffurfiol. Yn fwyaf diweddar, wrth adrodd yn ôl i grŵp rhanddeiliaid 'Cadernid Meddwl', canfasiodd cynrychiolwyr Cymdeithas Cyfarwyddwyr Addysg Cymru bob awdurdod lleol i ofyn am fanylion gwasanaethau roedd awdurdodau lleol ac ysgolion yn eu defnyddio ledled Cymru. Ac wrth gwrs, rydym hefyd yn clywed gan bobl ifanc eu hunain, drwy ein cefnogaeth i'r holiadur ysgolion iach a roddir i bobl ifanc, lle maent yn cael cyfle i fynegi sut y maent yn teimlo am eu hiechyd meddwl a'u lles eu hunain. Felly, rydym yn defnyddio amrywiaeth o ffynonellau a phwyntiau casglu data i sefydlu sylfaen dystiolaeth gadarn ar gyfer buddsoddi yn y maes pwysig hwn.
English: Post-16 delivery in Wales supports access to a range of programmes that support lifelong learning. Whether it's upskilling to access employment, a first step into post-16, or a return to learning, delivery serves to improve economic prosperity and to ensure that people in all areas are equipped for their futures.
Welsh: Mae darpariaeth ôl-16 yng Nghymru yn cefnogi mynediad at ystod o raglenni sy'n cefnogi dysgu gydol oes. Boed yn uwchsgilio i gael mynediad at gyflogaeth, y cam cyntaf i'r byd ôl-16, neu ddychwelyd at ddysgu, mae darpariaeth yn gwella ffyniant economaidd ac yn sicrhau bod pobl ym mhob maes wedi'u harfogi ar gyfer eu dyfodol.
