English: Trefnydd, can I request an urgent statement from the health Minister on the delivery and performance of ambulance services across Wales? And I'm pleased that the health Minister is in her place to hear this request. As I'm sure you know, the Welsh ambulance service has been undertaking a review of its emergency ambulance service rosters, and that review has now concluded. Of course, it's crucial that the ambulance service delivers rosters that match capacity to demand, but, unfortunately, in Pembrokeshire, I continue to receive correspondence from upset and frustrated constituents who have had exceptionally long waits for an ambulance. In one particular case, a constituent waited over eight hours for am ambulance for her husband who had fallen, and, in the end, she put her husband in the back of a van and was driven to the hospital. And I'm sure you would agree with me that is totally unacceptable. Now, this is one example, but sadly there are more. So, I'd be very grateful if you could ask the health Minister to bring forward an urgent statement on ambulance services across Wales, so that Members can understand more about the provision of services in our local areas in light of this roster review, so we can raise concerns and ask questions about the services that our constituents are receiving.
Welsh: Trefnydd, a gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad brys gan y Gweinidog iechyd ar ddarpariaeth a pherfformiad gwasanaethau ambiwlans ledled Cymru? Ac rwy'n falch bod y Gweinidog iechyd yn ei lle i glywed y cais hwn. Fel y gwyddoch chi, mae'n siŵr, mae gwasanaeth ambiwlans Cymru wedi bod yn cynnal adolygiad o'i restrau dyletswyddau gwasanaeth ambiwlans brys, ac mae'r adolygiad hwnnw nawr wedi dod i ben. Wrth gwrs, mae'n hanfodol bod y gwasanaeth ambiwlans yn darparu rhestrau dyletswyddau gwasanaeth sy'n cyfateb i'r galw, ond, yn anffodus, yn sir Benfro, rwyf i'n dal i dderbyn gohebiaeth gan etholwyr gofidus a rhwystredig sydd wedi gorfod aros yn eithriadol o hir am ambiwlans. Mewn un achos penodol, arhosodd etholwr dros wyth awr am ambiwlans ar gyfer ei gŵr a oedd wedi syrthio, ac, yn y pen draw, rhoddodd ei gŵr yng nghefn fan a chafodd ei yrru i'r ysbyty. Ac rwy'n siŵr y byddech chi'n cytuno â mi bod hynny'n gwbl annerbyniol. Nawr, mae hon yn un enghraifft, ond yn anffodus mae mwy. Felly, byddwn i'n ddiolchgar iawn os gallech chi ofyn i'r Gweinidog iechyd gyflwyno datganiad brys am wasanaethau ambiwlans ledled Cymru, fel y gall Aelodau ddeall mwy am ddarparu gwasanaethau yn ein hardaloedd lleol yng ngoleuni'r adolygiad hwn o'r rhestrau dyletswyddau, fel y gallwn ni godi pryderon a gofyn cwestiynau am y gwasanaethau y mae ein hetholwyr yn eu cael.
English: Well, thank you. Of course, we absolutely agree that eight hours is not an acceptable length of time, and I know the Minister for Health and Social Services of course takes such incidents very seriously. As you say, there has been a consultation within the ambulance service around the rosters, which has now been completed. And I know, personally as an MS, I've had correspondence with the chief executive of the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust around that, and I'm sure the Minister will be closely monitoring it.
Welsh: Diolch. Wrth gwrs, rydym ni'n cytuno'n llwyr nad yw wyth awr yn gyfnod derbyniol o amser, ac rwy'n gwybod bod y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, wrth gwrs, yn cymryd digwyddiadau o'r fath o ddifrif. Fel rydych chi'n ei ddweud, bu ymgynghoriad o fewn y gwasanaeth ambiwlans ynghylch y rhestrau dyletswyddau, sydd nawr wedi'i gwblhau. A gwn i, yn bersonol fel AS, fy mod i wedi cael gohebiaeth â phrif weithredwr Ymddiriedolaeth GIG Gwasanaethau Ambiwlans Cymru ynghylch hynny, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd y Gweinidog yn ei fonitro'n fanwl.
English: Trefnydd, last week, Cwm Taf Morgannwg health board announced that they would be closing two vaccination centres this week - one in the Rhondda and one in the Cynon Valley. Vulnerable people who will be receiving their booster in the spring will be expected to travel to Bridgend, Llantrisant or Merthyr Tydfil. This means that if you don't have a car or a lift, you'll have to travel for two hours, catching three buses, to reach the nearest centre. Bearing in mind that the mortality rate from COVID in the Rhondda has been amongst the highest in the UK, would it be possible to have a statement from the Minister for health, please, regarding what support will be provided to ensure that vulnerable people without access to a car are able to receive their vaccines in their local area without having to undertake such long journeys?
Welsh: Drefnydd, wythnos diwethaf, cyhoeddodd bwrdd iechyd Cwm Taf Morgannwg y byddant wythnos yma yn cau dwy ganolfan frechu - un yn y Rhondda ac un yng Nghwm Cynon. Bydd disgwyl i bawb bregus fydd yn cael booster yn y gwanwyn deithio i Ben-y-bont, Llantrisant neu Ferthyr Tudfil. Mae hyn yn golygu, os nad oes gennych gar neu ffordd o gael lifft, fod rhaid gwneud taith o ddwy awr, gan ddal tri bws, i gyrraedd y ganolfan agosaf. O ystyried bod nifer y marwolaethau COVID yn Rhondda Cynon Taf wedi bod ymhlith yr uchaf ym Mhrydain, oes modd cael datganiad, os gwelwch yn dda, gan y Gweinidog iechyd o ran pa gefnogaeth fydd yn cael ei darparu i sicrhau bod pobl fregus sydd heb fynediad i gar yn medru derbyn eu brechlynnau yn lleol heb orfod gwneud teithiau hirfaith?
English: Well, you will be aware that, throughout the pandemic, and certainly when the vaccine became available, there were many vaccination centres right across Wales. And as we go into the spring, and we see what boosters will be required, and, indeed, whether further vaccines will be required, this will be something that will be looked at.
Welsh: Wel, byddwch chi'n ymwybodol, drwy gydol y pandemig, ac yn sicr pan ddaeth y brechlyn ar gael, y bu llawer o ganolfannau brechu ledled Cymru. Ac wrth i ni fynd i mewn i'r gwanwyn, ac yn gweld pa bigiadau atgyfnerthu fydd eu hangen, ac, yn wir, a fydd angen rhagor o frechlynnau, bydd hyn yn rhywbeth a gaiff ei ystyried.
English: I would like to request two statements. The first one is a statement on cladding and an update on the Welsh Government's progress on this issue. This is a major issue to my constituents living in Copper Quarter in SA1. I'm receiving requests for updates, including a timescale regarding when the cladding review will be complete and safety passports issued so that sales can be completed. The second item of request is a Welsh Government statement stating that fire and rehire and outsourcing will not be used by the Welsh Government, or by its sponsored bodies, and that the remit letters to Welsh Government sponsored bodies will explicitly say that there will be no fire and rehire and there will be no outsourcing.
Welsh: Hoffwn i ofyn am ddau ddatganiad. Yr un cyntaf yw datganiad ar gladin a'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf o ran cynnydd Llywodraeth Cymru ar y mater hwn. Mae hwn yn fater pwysig i fy etholwyr sy'n byw yn Copper Quarter yn SA1. Rwy'n derbyn ceisiadau am yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf, gan gynnwys amserlen o ran pryd y bydd yr adolygiad cladin wedi'i orffen a phasbortau diogelwch yn cael eu cyhoeddi fel y bydd modd cwblhau gwerthiannau. Yr ail eitem yr wyf yn gwneud cais amdani yw datganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru sy'n nodi na fydd Llywodraeth Cymru, na'r cyrff sy'n cael eu noddi ganddi, yn defnyddio diswyddo ac ailapwyntio a chontractau allanol, ac y bydd y llythyrau cylch gwaith i gyrff a noddir gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn dweud yn benodol na fydd diswyddo ac ailapwyntio ac na fydd unrhyw gontractau allanol.
English: Thank you. You will be aware that the Minister for Climate Change issued a written statement - I think it was at the end of last month - confirming the appointment of surveyors and technical experts to undertake survey work in respect of the 248 expressions of interest that were received under the Welsh building safety fund. That work is under way. The Minister for Climate Change will provide a further update to the Senedd on 29 March in relation to the issue you raised in your first question. Around fire and rehire, we've been very clear as a Government that fire and rehire practices are not consistent with our values of fair work and social partnership. And using the threat of dismissal to diminish employment terms and conditions agreed in good faith is absolutely an abuse of employer power. So, we do expect employers who benefit from public investment to act in the spirit of social partnership, to be focused on the well-being of their workers and, of course, the wider public interest. You'll be aware the Deputy Minister is taking through the social partnership and public procurement Bill. That will introduce new socially responsible procurement duties on public bodies. The UK Government can, and I think it should, use its reserve powers over employment rights to provide greater security, certainty and protections against fire and rehire. The Prime Minister has actually described fire and rehire as unacceptable, but I think, as we all know, it's action not words that are needed.
Welsh: Diolch. Byddwch chi'n ymwybodol y gwnaeth y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd gyhoeddi datganiad ysgrifenedig - rwy'n credu mai diwedd mis diwethaf oedd hi - yn cadarnhau penodi syrfewyr ac arbenigwyr technegol i ymgymryd â gwaith arolygu o ran y 248 o ddatganiad o ddiddordeb a dderbyniwyd o dan gronfa diogelwch adeiladau Cymru. Mae'r gwaith hwnnw ar y gweill. Bydd y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd yn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Senedd ar 29 Mawrth o ran y mater a godwyd gennych chi yn eich cwestiwn cyntaf. O ran diswyddo ac ailapwyntio, rydym ni wedi bod yn glir iawn fel Llywodraeth nad yw arferion diswyddo ac ailapwyntio yn gyson â'n gwerthoedd gwaith teg a phartneriaeth gymdeithasol. Ac mae defnyddio bygythiad diswyddo i leihau telerau ac amodau cyflogaeth y cytunir arnyn nhw yn ddidwyll yn gam-drin pŵer cyflogwyr yn llwyr. Felly, rydym ni'n disgwyl i gyflogwyr sy'n elwa ar fuddsoddiad cyhoeddus weithredu yn ysbryd partneriaeth gymdeithasol, i ganolbwyntio ar les eu gweithwyr ac, wrth gwrs, er budd ehangach y cyhoedd. Byddwch chi'n ymwybodol bod y Dirprwy Weinidog yn mynd â'r Bil partneriaeth gymdeithasol a chaffael cyhoeddus ar ei hynt. Bydd hwnnw'n cyflwyno dyletswyddau caffael newydd sy'n gyfrifol yn gymdeithasol ar gyrff cyhoeddus. Gall Llywodraeth y DU, ac rwyf i'n credu y dylai hi, ddefnyddio ei phwerau sydd wedi eu cadw yn ôl dros hawliau cyflogaeth i ddarparu mwy o ddiogelwch, sicrwydd ac amddiffyniadau rhag diswyddo ac ailapwyntio. Mae'r Prif Weinidog wedi dweud bod diswyddo ac ailapwyntio yn annerbyniol, ond rwy'n credu, fel y gwyddom ni i gyd, mai gweithredu nid geiriau sydd ei angen.
English: Leader of the house, is it possible to have a statement from the economy Minister in relation to the Cardiff capital region? We all hope that the Cardiff capital region succeeds in its ambition to increase gross value added and increase the number of quality jobs within its catchment area. Recently, they announced the purchase of the old Aberthaw coal-fired power station site, with a considerable investment on restoration works - some £36 million going in for that restoration work - and the ambition to turn it into an exemplar of green energy, sentiments that we all support. But there's a genuine deficit, I would suggest, in the accountability and the scrutiny of the decisions and actions that are taken. And I would be interested to understand, as the Welsh Government is one of the partner organisations, what is the expectation of the Welsh Government, in engagement with local stakeholders, on this particular issue? I'm very grateful that the capital region did engage with local councillors, and I declare an interest as a councillor, for the Roose ward, in the Vale of Glamorgan Council. [ Interruption.] I'm sorry that it upset the Minister, but I have to put it on the record now.
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, a oes modd cael datganiad gan Weinidog yr economi o ran prifddinas-ranbarth Caerdydd? Rydym ni i gyd yn gobeithio y bydd prifddinas-ranbarth Caerdydd yn llwyddo yn ei huchelgais i gynyddu gwerth ychwanegol gros a chynyddu nifer y swyddi o safon yn ei dalgylch. Yn ddiweddar, gwnaethon nhw gyhoeddi prynu hen safle gorsaf bŵer glo Aberddawan, gyda buddsoddiad sylweddol ar waith adfer - tua £36 miliwn yn mynd i mewn ar gyfer y gwaith adfer hwnnw - a'r uchelgais i'w droi'n esiampl o ynni gwyrdd, teimladau yr ydym i ni i gyd yn eu cefnogi. Ond mae gwir ddiffyg, byddwn i'n ei awgrymu, o ran atebolrwydd a chraffu ar y penderfyniadau a'r camau sy'n cael eu cymryd. A byddai o ddiddordeb i mi ddeall, gan fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn un o'r sefydliadau partner, beth yw disgwyliad Llywodraeth Cymru, wrth ymgysylltu â rhanddeiliaid lleol, ar y mater penodol hwn? Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn bod y brifddinas-ranbarth wedi ymgysylltu â chynghorwyr lleol, ac rwy'n datgan buddiant fel cynghorydd, ar gyfer ward y Rhws, yng Nghyngor Bro Morgannwg. [ Torri ar draws.] Mae'n ddrwg gen i ei fod wedi cynhyrfu'r Gweinidog, ond mae'n rhaid i mi ei gofnodi'n awr.
English: No, I'm pleased that you did it - you didn't last week.
Welsh: Na, rwy'n falch eich bod chi wedi gwneud hynny - ni wnaethoch chi hynny'r wythnos diwethaf.
English: But it is important to understand - . Well, it's in my declaration of interests. So, it is important to understand what the actual accountability thresholds and the scrutiny thresholds are. And importantly, I think, the Senedd needs to consider how it can scrutinise the expenditure that the capital region's making, and, importantly, the goals it set itself. But I want to try and understand what the Welsh Government's role is in making sure that, obviously, the goals are reached, and the 5,000 jobs identified, and the increase in GVA is achieved.
Welsh: Ond mae'n bwysig deall - . Wel, mae yn fy natganiad i o fuddiannau. Felly, mae'n bwysig deall beth yw'r trothwyon atebolrwydd a'r trothwyon craffu gwirioneddol. Ac yn bwysig, rwy'n credu, mae angen i'r Senedd ystyried sut y gall craffu ar y gwariant y mae'r prifddinas-ranbarth yn ei wneud, ac, yn bwysig, y nodau y mae'n eu gosod ei hun. Ond rwyf i eisiau ceisio deall beth yw rhan Llywodraeth Cymru o ran sicrhau, yn amlwg, y bydd y nodau yn cael eu cyrraedd, a bod y 5,000 o swyddi sydd wedi'u nodi, a'r cynnydd mewn gwerth ychwanegol gros yn cael eu cyflawni.
English: Thank you. Well, the Minister for Economy does work very closely, obviously, with all the regions around the bids that you describe. I don't think it's possible to bring forward a statement in the next few weeks, but I'll certainly look to see if there is anything that we need to update Members on in the next term.
Welsh: Diolch. Wel, mae Gweinidog yr Economi'n gweithio'n agos iawn, yn amlwg, gyda'r holl ranbarthau ar y ceisiadau yr ydych chi'n eu disgrifio. Nid wyf i'n credu ei bod yn bosibl cyflwyno datganiad yn ystod yr wythnosau nesaf, ond yn sicr, fe wnaf edrych i weld a oes unrhyw beth y mae angen i ni roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau amdano yn y tymor nesaf.
English: Thank you, and I do think it is a very important issue, and you'll be aware that the Minister for Finance and Local Government acted very quickly to enter into discussions with local government around pension funds, in the way that you referred to. The Minister for Climate Change is also obviously very interested in this subject. We have, as a Government, made very clear our ambitions to move away from fossil fuels. I'm not aware of anything that's come in that we could provide a statement on in the near future, and it might be better if you do write to the Minister directly.
Welsh: Diolch, ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn fater pwysig iawn, a byddwch chi'n ymwybodol bod y Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol wedi gweithredu'n gyflym iawn i gynnal trafodaethau gyda llywodraeth leol ynghylch cronfeydd pensiwn, yn y ffordd y gwnaethoch chi gyfeirio ati. Mae'n amlwg hefyd bod gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd ddiddordeb mawr yn y pwnc hwn. Rydym ni, fel Llywodraeth, wedi egluro'n glir iawn ein huchelgeisiau i symud oddi wrth danwydd ffosil. Nid wyf i'n ymwybodol o unrhyw beth sydd wedi dod i i law y byddai modd i ni ddarparu datganiad arno yn y dyfodol agos, a gallai fod yn well pe baech chi'n ysgrifennu at y Gweinidog yn uniongyrchol.
English: Minister, I've asked before for a statement on access to dentistry. I'd like to repeat that request this afternoon, and also ask for a debate on the future of dentistry services. I'm glad the health Minister is in the Chamber in her place for this session. I've received correspondence from dentists in my own constituency who are exceptionally concerned about the issue of a new contract. They believe that contract has been widely criticised, and they've told me that morale is at rock bottom in the service, and that they are seriously concerned about the ability of dentists across Wales to be able to continue to deliver services. So, I think it would be useful were we able to have a debate on these matters in Government time, and certainly a statement with some urgency.
Welsh: Gweinidog, rwyf i wedi gofyn o'r blaen am ddatganiad ar y gallu i fanteisio ar ddeintyddiaeth. Hoffwn i ailadrodd y cais hwnnw y prynhawn yma, a gofyn hefyd am ddadl ar ddyfodol gwasanaethau deintyddol. Rwy'n falch bod y Gweinidog iechyd yn y Siambr yn ei lle ar gyfer y sesiwn hon. Rwyf i wedi cael gohebiaeth gan ddeintyddion yn fy etholaeth i fy hun sy'n pryderu'n eithriadol am y mater o gontract newydd. Maen nhw'n credu bod y contract wedi'i feirniadu'n eang, ac maen nhw wedi dweud wrthyf i fod morâl wedi cyrraedd y gwaelod yn y gwasanaeth, a'u bod yn pryderu o ddifrif am allu deintyddion ledled Cymru i allu parhau i ddarparu gwasanaethau. Felly, rwy'n credu y byddai'n ddefnyddiol os gallem ni gael dadl ar y materion hyn yn amser y Llywodraeth, ac yn sicr datganiad ar fyrder.
English: Thank you. Well, I know the Minister for Health and Social Services, who, as you say, is in the Chamber and heard your request, is monitoring the situation very closely. I think it's fair to say you've put significant additional funding in and it's obviously working through the new dental contracts.
Welsh: Diolch. Wel, gwn i fod y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, sydd, fel y dywedwch chi, yn y Siambr ac wedi clywed eich cais, yn monitro'r sefyllfa'n agos iawn. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn deg dweud eich bod chi wedi rhoi cyllid ychwanegol sylweddol i mewn ac mae'n amlwg yn gweithio drwy'r contractau deintyddol newydd.
English: Trefnydd, could I ask for a statement from the finance Minister on what help is out there for people struggling to buy heating oil at the moment? Last week, the average price per litre of heating oil hit £1.55, up from an already high 67p, just a few weeks ago, and that's around four times higher than the price last March, and, even if you can afford it, you'll be lucky if you can get it. You won't get a price, and people have to both commit to a minimum of 500 litres and an upfront payment. And my maths I'm sure is right that at £1.80 times 500 - that's an £830 upfront payment. A constituent contacted me this week, yesterday, to say that they have enough oil in their tank for 16 days, and after that they'll have no heating, they'll have no hot water - a family of four people, including two young children. People are extremely worried, and they are living, of course, you will understand, in some of the coldest houses in Wales. I'm able to signpost people to Welsh Government support, like the discretionary assistance fund, but what would be really useful to have, Minister, is an explanation from Welsh Government of all the help and advice and support, and actually going a little bit further, looking at a scheme that will help those people who don't have the opportunity to pay as they go.
Welsh: Trefnydd, a gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog cyllid am ba gymorth sydd ar gael i bobl sy'n ei chael hi'n anodd prynu olew gwresogi ar hyn o bryd? Yr wythnos diwethaf, gwnaeth pris cyfartalog olew gwresogi fesul litr gyrraedd £1.55, i fyny o 67c sydd eisoes yn uchel, ychydig wythnosau'n ôl, ac mae hynny tua phedair gwaith yn uwch na'r pris fis Mawrth diwethaf, a hyd yn oed os gallwch chi ei fforddio, byddwch chi'n lwcus os gallwch chi gael gafael arno. Ni chewch chi bris, ac mae'n rhaid i bobl ymrwymo i isafswm o 500 litr a thaliad ymlaen llaw. Ac mae fy mathemateg i yn iawn, rwy'n siŵr, sef £1.80 lluosi â 500 - mae hynny'n daliad ymlaen llaw o £830. Cysylltodd etholwr â mi yr wythnos hon, ddoe, i ddweud bod ganddyn nhw ddigon o olew yn eu tanc am 16 diwrnod, ac ar ôl hynny ni fydd ganddyn nhw wres, ni fydd ganddyn nhw ddŵr poeth - teulu o bedwar o bobl, gan gynnwys dau blentyn ifanc. Mae pobl yn poeni'n fawr, ac maen nhw'n byw, wrth gwrs, y byddwch chi'n deall, yn rhai o'r tai oeraf yng Nghymru. Gallaf i gyfeirio pobl at gymorth Llywodraeth Cymru, fel y gronfa cymorth dewisol, ond yr hyn a fyddai'n ddefnyddiol iawn i'w gael, Gweinidog, yw esboniad gan Lywodraeth Cymru o'r holl gymorth a chyngor a chefnogaeth, a mynd ychydig ymhellach, gan edrych ar gynllun a fydd yn helpu'r bobl hynny nad ydyn nhw'n cael y cyfle i dalu bob yn dipyn.
English: The next item, therefore, is the statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change on the flood and coastal erosion risk management 2022-23 programme of investment. I call on the Deputy Minister to make the statement - Lee Waters.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r datganiad gan y Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd ar y rhaglen fuddsoddi ar gyfer 2022-23 ar reoli perygl llifogydd ac erydu arfordirol. Rwy'n galw ar y Dirprwy Weinidog i wneud y datganiad yma - Lee Waters.
