English: Thank you very much. We have three more speakers, and can I just remind everybody that we have had one spokesperson from every party now, so can I just ask for a short preamble and short questions and shorter answers? Thank you. So, Lee Waters.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae gennym dri siaradwr arall, a gaf i atgoffa pawb ein bod wedi cael un llefarydd o bob plaid bellach. Felly a gaf i ofyn am ragymadrodd byr a chwestiynau byr ac atebion byrrach? Diolch. Felly, Lee Waters.
English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Cabinet Secretary, I'd like to warmly support the passion you have for nurturing leadership as a way of achieving excellence in standards. Can I just ask a couple of questions about how you see this sitting within the existing landscape of initiatives, bearing in mind that we are meant to be doing fewer things and keeping things simple? So, how, in particular, do you see this fitting in with the consortia and with local education authorities, because I think there's a danger we have a cluttered landscape? Secondly, we have an emphasis on school-to-school support for raising school standards, and there is, as you know, excellence already in leadership all across Wales. So, how do we see existing leaders supporting emerging leaders? And, finally, you mentioned in your statement that you said: 'The quality of the education system cannot exceed the quality of our teachers.' As you know, half of the school workforce are learning support assistants, and I do feel that they are a neglected part of the workforce. So, how do you see that workforce being captured within the spirit of the academy?
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, hoffwn gefnogi'n gynnes yr angerdd sydd gennych ar gyfer meithrin arweinyddiaeth fel ffordd o gyflawni rhagoriaeth mewn safonau. A gaf i ofyn cwpl o gwestiynau am sut yr ydych yn gweld hyn yn rhan o'r sefyllfa bresennol o fentrau, gan gadw mewn cof ein bod i fod gwneud llai o bethau a chadw pethau'n syml? Felly, sut, yn benodol, ydych chi'n gweld hyn yn rhan o'r consortia ac awdurdodau addysg lleol, gan fy mod yn credu bod perygl i ni fod â thirwedd anniben? Yn ail, rydym yn pwysleisio'r angen am gymorth ysgol i ysgol er mwyn codi safonau ysgolion ac fel y gwyddoch, mae rhagoriaeth eisoes mewn arweinyddiaeth ledled Cymru. Felly, sut ydym yn gweld arweinwyr presennol yn cefnogi'r arweinwyr sy'n dod i'r amlwg? Ac, yn olaf, soniasoch yn eich datganiad ichi ddweud: Ni all ansawdd y system addysg ragori ar ansawdd ein hathrawon. Fel y gwyddoch, mae hanner y gweithlu ysgol yn gynorthwywyr cymorth dysgu, ac rwy'n teimlo eu bod yn rhan o'r gweithlu sy'n cael ei hesgeuluso. Felly, sut ydych chi'n gweld y gweithlu hwnnw'n yn cael ei ddal o fewn ysbryd yr academi?
English: Thank you for the statement, Cabinet Secretary. I'm pleased that something very similar to the Welsh Conservatives' policy has found its way into your own policy. Could I ask you whether you agree that education leaders have a crucial role in improving the place of the Welsh language in the culture of our schools and colleges? I'm not talking here about the curriculum, but the culture. And how will this be reflected in the vision, values and functions of the academy?
Welsh: Diolch am y datganiad, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Rwy'n falch bod rhywbeth tebyg iawn i bolisïau'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig wedi ffeindio ei ffordd i mewn i'ch polisi chi, ac felly a allaf ofyn: a ydych chi'n cytuno bod gan arweinwyr addysg rôl hanfodol wrth wella lle'r Gymraeg yn niwylliant ein hysgolion a'n colegau? Nid wyf yn siarad am y cwricwlwm nawr, ond y diwylliant. A sut y bydd hyn yn cael ei adlewyrchu yng ngweledigaeth, gwerthoedd a swyddogaethau yr academi?
English: Well, I don't know about a Tory policy finding its way into my agenda. I can assure the Member that this was a commitment in the Welsh Liberal Democrat manifesto a year ago, and that's one of the reasons why I'm determined to take it forward. I think this issue about values is absolutely fundamental. One of the things that makes me proud to be the education Secretary in Wales is because of the values that underpin our education system - values of equity, of opportunity; ones that are consistent with wanting everybody to have a fair crack and the ability to get on in life, not to be excluded because you don't live in the right place or because your parents can't afford the tuition, when you're 11 years old, for you to pass an exam to get into a grammar school. The values that we see, espoused by the academy, are values of the Welsh education system, and they're values that I'm proud of.
Welsh: Wel, ni wn am bolisi'r Torïaid yn canfod ei ffordd i mewn i fy agenda i. Gallaf sicrhau'r Aelod bod hyn yn ymrwymiad ym maniffesto Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol Cymru flwyddyn yn ôl, a dyna un o'r rhesymau pam yr wyf yn benderfynol o'i symud ymlaen. Rwy'n credu bod y mater hwn ynghylch gwerthoedd yn gwbl hanfodol. Un o'r pethau sy'n fy ngwneud yn falch o fod yn Ysgrifennydd addysg yng Nghymru yw oherwydd y gwerthoedd sy'n sail i'n system addysg - gwerthoedd ecwiti, cyfle; gwerthoedd sy'n gyson â sicrhau bod pawb yn cael cyfle teg ac yn gallu dod ymlaen mewn bywyd, i beidio â chael eich eithrio oherwydd nad ydych yn byw yn y lle iawn, neu oherwydd na all eich rhieni fforddio'r dysgu, pan fyddwch yn 11 oed, er mwyn i chi basio arholiad i fynd i ysgol ramadeg. Mae'r gwerthoedd a welwn, yn cael eu harddel gan yr academi, yn werthoedd y system addysg yng Nghymru, ac yn werthoedd yr wyf i'n falch ohonynt.
English: The roadshows will commence on 12 June. I don't know whether the roadshow will include your own constituency, but I'm happy to provide details. Details of the roadshow will be given out via all the platforms that the Welsh Government has at its disposal, including 'Dysg' and including the new 'Education Wales' Facebook page. I would encourage Members - if they want to keep up to date with all things 'Education Wales' - that they can like the new Facebook page. But I will write to the Member about more details for that. The whole point of having the academy is to ensure there is equity of provision across the nation that is of the same quality for all our professionals, regardless of where they are. And the Member is absolutely right; if we want to have a first-class education system, we have to have first-class leaders. We have many in Wales, but not enough, if we're honest, and we need to do more, and the prime purpose of this academy is to provide us with the leadership that we will need to ensure, as I say, that our national mission is fulfilled: that we have an education system that is a source of national pride and, more importantly for parents, national confidence.
Welsh: Bydd y sioeau teithiol yn dechrau ar 12 Mehefin. Nid wyf yn gwybod a fydd y sioe deithiol yn cynnwys eich etholaeth chi, ond dwi'n hapus i roi manylion. Bydd manylion y sioe deithiol yn cael eu rhoi trwy'r holl ffynonellau sydd ar gael i Lywodraeth Cymru, gan gynnwys 'Dysg' ac yn cynnwys y dudalen Facebook newydd 'Addysg Cymru'. Byddwn yn annog Aelodau - os ydynt am gadw i fyny â'r holl bethau ynghylch 'Addysg Cymru' - i hoffi'r dudalen Facebook newydd. Ond byddaf yn ysgrifennu at yr Aelod gyda rhagor o fanylion am hynny. Holl bwynt cael yr academi yw sicrhau bod darpariaeth deg ar draws y wlad a'i bod o'r un ansawdd ar gyfer ein holl weithwyr proffesiynol, ni waeth ble maen nhw. Ac mae'r Aelod yn hollol gywir; os ydym am gael system addysg o'r radd flaenaf, mae'n rhaid i ni gael arweinwyr o'r radd flaenaf. Mae gennym lawer yng Nghymru, ond dim digon, a bod yn onest, ac mae angen i ni wneud mwy. Prif bwrpas yr academi hon yw rhoi'r arweinyddiaeth sydd ei hangen arnom ni i sicrhau, fel y dywedais, fod ein cenhadaeth genedlaethol yn cael ei chyflawni: bod gennym system addysg sy'n destun balchder cenedlaethol ac, yn bwysicach i'r rhieni, hyder cenedlaethol.
English: Item 5 on the agenda is a statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport on the dementia action plan. I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport, Vaughan Gething.
Welsh: Eitem 5 ar yr agenda yw datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon ar y cynllun gweithredu ar gyfer dementia. Galwaf ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon, Vaughan Gething.
English: The unavoidable truth is that the situation is dynamic, because we don't know what we are going to get within this place to then divide up to then pass on to actors and agents outside here, but having a strategy and a shape for what we want to achieve should help that in framing how those commissioning decisions are made, where they're made individually by local authorities, of whatever political leadership - this is a challenge across the country; it's not just for your party, mine or any other - it's all parties and independents that are running local government in Wales at this point in time. It's also a challenge for health boards in working with their partners as well in trying to decide and determine how they properly meet the action plan and the focus and the attention that we will have with it. So, there's an honest point there, even though I think that everyone in this Chamber would want to be able to see these services planned on a much longer-term basis, consistent with the strategy and to have real and achievable outcome measures. We'll do what we could and should do in designing a strategy to help with the best use of those resources.
Welsh: Y gwir anorfod yw bod y sefyllfa'n ddeinamig, oherwydd nad ydym yn gwybod beth yr ydym am ei gael yn y lle hwn i fynd ati i'w rannu wedyn a'i drosglwyddo i actorion ac asiantau y tu allan i'r fan hon, ond fe ddylai cael strategaeth a siâp ar gyfer yr hyn yr ydym yn dymuno'i gyflawni helpu wrth fframio sut y mae'r penderfyniadau comisiynu hynny'n cael eu gwneud, lle maen nhw'n cael eu gwneud yn unigol gan awdurdodau lleol, o ba bynnag arweinyddiaeth wleidyddol - mae hyn yn her ar draws y wlad; nid yw ddim ond ar gyfer eich plaid chi, fi nac unrhyw un arall - mae'n cynnwys pob plaid a chynrychiolydd annibynnol sy'n rhedeg llywodraeth leol yng Nghymru ar hyn o bryd. Mae hefyd yn her i fyrddau iechyd i weithio gyda'u partneriaid yn ogystal wrth geisio penderfynu sut maen nhw'n diwallu'n briodol y cynllun gweithredu a'r pwyslais a'r sylw y bydd gennym gydag ef. Felly, mae yna bwynt gonest yn y fan yna, er fy mod yn credu y byddai pawb yn y Siambr hon yn hoffi gweld y gwasanaethau hyn yn cael eu cynllunio ar sail tymor hwy o lawer, yn gyson â'r strategaeth a chael mesurau canlyniad real a chyraeddadwy. Byddwn yn gwneud yr hyn y gallwn ac y dylem ei wneud wrth gynllunio strategaeth i helpu â'r defnydd gorau o'r adnoddau hynny.
English: The next item on our agenda is the debate on Stage 4 of the Public Health (Wales) Bill. I call on the Minister for Social Services and Public Health to move the motion - Rebecca Evans.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf ar ein hagenda ni yw'r ddadl ar Gyfnod 4 o Fil Iechyd y Cyhoedd (Cymru). Rydw i'n galw ar y Gweinidog Iechyd y Cyhoedd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol i wneud y cynnig - Rebecca Evans.
English: I'd like to thank both spokespeople for their comments today and for their support for the Bill, and look forward to implementation of the Bill now, because I do think it has real potential in terms of improving the public health of the people of Wales, and I look forward to collaborating with and engaging with Members across the Assembly in terms of the implementation phase, which we'll move to next. Thank you.
Welsh: Hoffwn ddiolch i'r ddau lefarydd am eu sylwadau heddiw ac am eu cefnogaeth i'r Bil. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weithredu'r Bil yn awr, gan fy mod o'r farn bod ganddo botensial gwirioneddol i wella iechyd cyhoeddus pobl Cymru, ac edrychaf ymlaen at gydweithio ac ymgysylltu ag Aelodau ar draws y Cynulliad yn y cyfnod gweithredu, y byddwn yn symud iddo nesaf. Diolch.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to bring forward this debate today, as in recent months I've been able to meet with representatives of Electrical Safety First and talk to them about the statistics that they have provided, particularly in relation to fires caused due to the lack of care with electrical appliances and devices. And I'm also pleased to give Mike Hedges a minute of my time for him to contribute to this debate. It is, perhaps, timely that this opportunity has come up for me to speak now on this subject, when my own mother has recently been the victim of a house fire, which has led to her having to move out of her home, probably for several months. The fire was almost certainly caused by either faulty wiring or electrical equipment. She was out walking her dog at the time the fire started, but fortunately she was only away for about 20 minutes, so, when she came back, she was able to get help quickly and before the fire had taken hold of the whole house. Despite that early action, the fire and smoke damage was significant, and the whole house has to be renovated. In Wales, statistics show a steady decrease in the number of primary fires between 2010 and 2015, but saw an increase in the year up to 2016. Fires from white goods seem to be at a generally consistent level for the same period, and there has been a noticeable, consistent decline, as we would probably expect, in chimney fires. But we have not seen an overall decrease in accidental fires. The answer to why this might be could lie in the title of this debate: electrical fires in today's technological age.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Rwy'n falch iawn o gael y cyfle i gyflwyno'r ddadl hon heddiw, gan fy mod yn y misoedd diwethaf wedi gallu cwrdd â chynrychiolwyr o Electrical Safety First a siarad â nhw am yr ystadegau y maent wedi eu darparu, yn enwedig ynghylch tanau a achoswyd oherwydd diffyg gofal gydag offer a dyfeisiau trydanol. Ac rwy'n falch hefyd o roi munud o fy amser i Mike Hedges er mwyn iddo gyfrannu at y ddadl hon. Mae'n amserol, efallai, fod y cyfle hwn wedi codi i mi siarad yn awr ar y pwnc hwn, gan fod fy mam fy hun wedi dioddef tân yn y cartref yn ddiweddar, sydd wedi achosi iddi orfod symud allan o'i chartref, am sawl mis fwy na thebyg. Achoswyd y tân bron yn sicr gan wifrau diffygiol neu offer trydanol. Roedd hi allan yn cerdded y ci pan ddechreuodd y tân. Yn ffodus dim ond am ryw 20 munud yr oedd hi allan, a phan gyrhaeddodd adref llwyddodd i gael cymorth yn gyflym cyn i'r tân gymryd gafael ar y tŷ cyfan. Er gwaethaf y camau cynnar hynny, roedd y difrod a achoswyd gan y tân a'r mwg yn sylweddol, a bydd rhaid adnewyddu'r tŷ cyfan. Yng Nghymru, mae ystadegau yn dangos lleihad cyson yn nifer y tanau mawr rhwng 2010 a 2015, ond gwelwyd cynnydd yn y flwyddyn hyd at 2016. Ymddengys bod tanau o nwyddau gwyn ar lefel gyson yn gyffredinol yn ystod yr un cyfnod, a bu gostyngiad amlwg a chyson, fel y byddem fwy na thebyg yn ei ddisgwyl, yn y tanau simnai. Ond nid ydym wedi gweld gostyngiad cyffredinol mewn tanau damweiniol. Gallai'r rheswm am hynny fod yn nheitl y ddadl hon: tanau trydanol yn yr oes dechnolegol sydd ohoni.
English: Thank you very much. That brings today's proceedings to a close.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Dyna ddiwedd ein trafodion heddiw.
English: The first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure. And the first question, Caroline Jones.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf ar ein hagenda ni y prynhawn yma yw'r cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith. A'r cwestiwn cyntaf, Caroline Jones.
English: We continue to provide a wide range of support to all high-street businesses in Wales to ensure that they go on thriving.
Welsh: Rydym yn parhau i ddarparu ystod eang o gymorth i holl fusnesau'r stryd fawr yng Nghymru er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn parhau i ffynnu.
English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Unfortunately, due to the activities of some of the larger retail chains, who can afford to absorb losses, many of our small independent retailers are going out of business, destroying the diversity of our high streets. What economic incentives can your Government offer to small independent retailers to ensure their continued survival and avoid a future in which our high streets are just clones of one another, dominated by corporate chains? And will you discuss with the UK Government possibly lowering the VAT threshold, and graduated thresholds of VAT, for smaller businesses?
Welsh: Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Yn anffodus, oherwydd gweithgarwch rhai o'r cadwyni manwerthu mwy, sy'n gallu fforddio ysgwyddo colledion, mae llawer o'n siopau bach annibynnol yn mynd i'r wal, gan ddinistrio amrywiaeth ein stryd fawr. Pa gymhellion economaidd y gall eich Llywodraeth eu cynnig i fanwerthwyr bach annibynnol er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn parhau i oroesi, ac er mwyn osgoi dyfodol lle mae ein strydoedd mawr yn glonau o'i gilydd, dan oruchafiaeth y cadwyni corfforaethol? Ac a fyddwch yn trafod y posibilrwydd o ostwng y trothwy TAW gyda Llywodraeth y DU, yn ogystal â graddio trothwyon TAW, ar gyfer busnesau llai?
English: Well, can I thank the Member for her question and say that this is an issue that's close to the heart of many Members in this Chamber? Just because a small business is struggling to operate doesn't mean that it doesn't have a future in an environment that sees an increasing amount of activity take place online. I think the important factor that will determine the success or failure of a small retailer is whether it's distinct - distinct from competition. And, in some town centres, such as Narberth, we see a good number, and a high concentration, of small boutique businesses and retailers in particular. Now, Government can act as an enabler, supporting small businesses on the high street, through programmes such as the business exploitation programme, operated in tandem with Superfast Cymru. We can also assist in terms of offering support through Business Wales, offering one-to-one advice for business growth and how to adapt to modern retail tastes and trends. Also, we can support businesses through the development of business improvement districts and town-centre champions. And we're doing just this. But I think what's crucially important is that, if a small business is struggling to carve out a niche, or to survive in a fiercely competitive environment, call Business Wales, seek advice and, potentially, seek support. Seek support in the form of a loan or other financial resource. It's essential that that's done as soon as possible. We can also offer advice and support in terms of skills training and management too.
Welsh: Wel, a gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei chwestiwn a dweud bod hwn yn fater sy'n agos at galon llawer o'r Aelodau yn y Siambr hon? Nid yw'r ffaith fod busnes bach yn ei chael yn anodd gweithredu yn golygu nad oes ganddo ddyfodol mewn amgylchedd gyda mwy a mwy o weithgarwch ar-lein. Credaf mai'r ffactor pwysig a fydd yn pennu llwyddiant neu fethiant manwerthwr bach yw a yw'n wahanol - yn wahanol i'r gystadleuaeth. Ac yng nghanol rhai trefi, megis Arberth, rydym yn gweld cryn dipyn, a chrynodiad uchel, o fusnesau bwtîg a manwerthwyr bach, yn arbennig. Nawr, gall y Llywodraeth weithredu fel galluogydd, gan gefnogi busnesau bach ar y stryd fawr, drwy raglenni fel y rhaglen fanteisio i fusnesau, a weithredir ar y cyd â Cyflymu Cymru. Gallwn hefyd gynorthwyo drwy gynnig cymorth drwy Busnes Cymru, gan gynnig cyngor un i un ar dwf busnesau a sut i addasu ar gyfer chwaeth a thueddiadau manwerthu modern. Hefyd, gallwn gefnogi busnesau drwy ddatblygu ardaloedd gwella busnes a hyrwyddwyr canol trefi. Ac rydym yn gwneud hynny. Ond credaf mai'r hyn sy'n hanfodol bwysig, os yw busnes bach yn ei chael hi'n anodd ennill ei le, neu er mwyn goroesi mewn amgylchedd cystadleuol iawn, gallwch ffonio Busnes Cymru, gofyn am gyngor, a gofyn am gymorth o bosibl. Gofynnwch am gymorth ar ffurf benthyciad neu adnoddau ariannol eraill. Mae'n hanfodol gwneud hynny cyn gynted ag y bo modd. Gallwn gynnig cyngor a chefnogaeth mewn perthynas â hyfforddiant sgiliau a rheoli hefyd.
English: Cabinet Secretary, one way to ensure that we have thriving high-street businesses in Wales is to make our high streets as accessible as possible, by developing car parking strategies that factor in local nuances around individual town-centre layouts. Now, I appreciate that the Welsh Government last year announced a package worth £3 million to help local authorities pilot town-centre free parking. So, in the circumstances, can you tell us how many town centres and high-street businesses, and high streets individually, have already benefited from this support?
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, un ffordd o sicrhau bod busnesau ein stryd fawr yn ffynnu yng Nghymru yw sicrhau bod ein stryd fawr mor hygyrch â phosibl, drwy ddatblygu strategaethau parcio sy'n ystyried yr amgylchiadau lleol mewn perthynas â chynllun canol trefi unigol. Nawr, rwy'n derbyn bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyhoeddi pecyn gwerth £3 miliwn y llynedd i gynorthwyo awdurdodau lleol i dreialu cynlluniau parcio am ddim yng nghanol eu trefi. Felly, o dan yr amgylchiadau, a allwch ddweud wrthym sawl busnes canol tref a'r stryd fawr, a sawl stryd fawr yn unigol, sydd eisoes wedi elwa o'r cymorth hwn?
English: Yes. We are incredibly proud of our rich industrial heritage in Wales. Over 1,000 industrial structures have statutory protection as listed buildings or as scheduled monuments. Industrial heritage also features prominently in our pan-Wales heritage interpretation plan focusing on 'Wales: the first industrial nation'.
Welsh: Gwnaf. Rydym yn hynod falch o'n treftadaeth ddiwydiannol gyfoethog yng Nghymru. Mae dros 1,000 o adeiladau diwydiannol yn cael eu gwarchod yn statudol fel adeiladau rhestredig neu fel henebion cofrestredig. Mae treftadaeth ddiwydiannol hefyd yn elfen amlwg o'n cynllun dehongli treftadaeth ar gyfer Cymru gyfan, sy'n canolbwyntio ar 'Cymru: y genedl ddiwydiannol gyntaf'.
