English: Thank you, First Minister. A constituent of mine recently contacted me with serious concerns about the way that Cwm Taf health board has been dealing with his case. Now, he was given an operation around a decade ago to remove a malignant melanoma, which was, thankfully, successful, but he was told he would need yearly check-ups for the rest of his life to monitor the situation. He's since developed freckles on his eyes, which are benign, but they could turn cancerous, and, obviously, owing to his medical history, it's even more important that he would receive yearly check-ups. Recently his requests for an appointment from Cwm Taf have been rebuffed on numerous occasions and it all come to a head when he received a letter from a private health company, called Community Health and Eye Care, acting on behalf of the health board, who told him that he did not require further appointments with a consultant, and that, if he wished, he could see an optician every now and again instead. Now, my constituent then contacted his consultant directly, who was adamant that he did indeed need early check-ups with a consultant. First Minister, could you tell us what Community Health and Eye Care's relationship is with Cwm Taf health board, and do you agree with me that it would be completely unacceptable for a Welsh health board to employ a private company to cut waiting lists by denying patients appointments that they need for health reasons?
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog. Cysylltodd un o'm hetholwyr â mi yn ddiweddar gyda phryderon difrifol am y ffordd y mae bwrdd iechyd Cwm Taf wedi bod yn ymdrin â'i achos. Nawr, rhoddwyd llawdriniaeth iddo tua degawd yn ôl i gael gwared â melanoma malaen, a oedd yn llwyddiannus, diolch byth, ond dywedwyd wrtho y byddai angen archwiliadau blynyddol am weddill ei oes i fonitro'r sefyllfa. Ers hynny mae wedi datblygu brychni haul ar ei lygaid, sy'n anfalaen, ond gallen nhw droi'n ganseraidd, ac, yn amlwg, oherwydd ei hanes meddygol, mae'n bwysicach fyth ei fod yn cael archwiliadau blynyddol. Yn ddiweddar mae ei geisiadau am apwyntiad gan Gwm Taf wedi cael eu gwrthod ar sawl achlysur a daeth y cyfan i'r pen pan dderbyniodd lythyr gan gwmni iechyd preifat, o'r enw Community Health and Eye Care, yn gweithredu ar ran y bwrdd iechyd, a ddywedodd wrtho nad oedd angen rhagor o apwyntiadau arno gyda meddyg ymgynghorol ac yn hytrach, pe byddai'n dymuno, y byddai'n cael gweld optegydd bob hyn a hyn. Nawr, cysylltodd fy etholwr â'i feddyg ymgynghorol yn uniongyrchol wedyn, a oedd yn bendant bod angen archwiliadau blynyddol arno gyda meddyg ymgynghorol. Prif Weinidog, a allech chi ddweud wrthym ni beth yw perthynas Community Health and Eye Care gyda bwrdd iechyd Cwm Taf, ac a ydych chi'n cytuno â mi y byddai'n gwbl annerbyniol i fwrdd iechyd yng Nghymru gyflogi cwmni preifat i dorri rhestrau aros trwy atal apwyntiadau i gleifion y mae nhw eu hangen am resymau iechyd?
English: Llywydd, I'm not familiar with the details, of course, of the individual case, and, as Cwm Taf is not in South Wales East, I haven't come prepared with all the details to answer the question this afternoon. But what I do know is that the Minister has recently reformed the way in which ophthalmology services are - [ Interruption. ] I'm so sorry, I can't hear the -
Welsh: Llywydd, nid wyf i'n gyfarwydd â'r manylion, wrth gwrs, am yr achos unigol, a chan nad yw Cwm Taf yn Nwyrain De Cymru, nid wyf i wedi dod yn barod gyda'r holl fanylion i ateb y cwestiwn y prynhawn yma. Ond yr hyn yr wyf i yn ei wybod yw bod y Gweinidog wedi diwygio yn ddiweddar y ffordd y mae gwasanaethau offthalmoleg yn - [ Torri ar draws. ] Mae'n ddrwg iawn gen i, nid wyf i'n gallu clywed y -
English: I'll ask the First Minister to continue answering the question.
Welsh: Gofynnaf i'r Prif Weinidog barhau i ateb y cwestiwn.
English: I do know in general - I'm trying to be as helpful as I can to the Member in her question - that the Minister has reformed the way in which ophthalmology services are provided in Wales to make sure that follow-up appointments are treated just as first appointments would have been in the previous system, because we know that 90 per cent of follow-up patients are likely to need the sort of ongoing care to which Delyth Jewell referred in the individual case that she has identified this afternoon. It is very important that we make maximum use of the very skilled individuals who we have practising ophthalmology in the community. We have an underused resource. We've known this for a number of years - that people are sent to hospital for appointments when those conditions could just as equally clinically be attended to by our highly trained opticians who operate on the high street. So, our policy is to maximise the use of community services, so that people who need a consultant-led service are able to get it more rapidly because they're not waiting behind people who could equally easily and more conveniently have received the care they need in the community. I'm very willing to look at the individual case to see whether those principles have been properly applied in that case, but that is the underlying approach that the Welsh Government brings to these services.
Welsh: Rwy'n gwybod yn gyffredinol - rwy'n ceisio rhoi cymaint o gymorth ag y gallaf i'r Aelod yn ei chwestiwn - bod y Gweinidog wedi diwygio'r ffordd y darperir gwasanaethau offthalmoleg yng Nghymru i wneud yn siŵr bod apwyntiadau dilynol yn cael eu trin yn union fel y byddai apwyntiadau cyntaf wedi cael eu trin yn y system flaenorol, gan ein bod ni'n gwybod bod 90 y cant o gleifion dilynol yn debygol o fod angen y math o ofal parhaus y cyfeiriodd Delyth Jewell ato yn yr achos unigol y mae wedi ei nodi y prynhawn yma. Mae'n bwysig iawn ein bod ni'n gwneud y defnydd mwyaf posibl o'r unigolion medrus iawn sydd gennym ni yn ymarfer offthalmoleg yn y gymuned. Mae gennym ni adnodd nad yw'n cael ei ddefnyddio'n ddigon aml. Rydym ni'n gwybod hyn ers nifer o flynyddoedd - bod pobl yn cael eu hanfon i'r ysbyty ar gyfer apwyntiadau pan allai'r cyflyrau hynny gael yr un lefel o sylw clinigol gan ein hoptegwyr hynod hyfforddedig sy'n gweithredu ar y stryd fawr. Felly, ein polisi yw gwneud y defnydd mwyaf posibl o wasanaethau cymunedol, fel bod pobl sydd angen gwasanaeth dan arweiniad meddyg ymgynghorol yn gallu ei gael yn gyflymach gan nad ydyn nhw'n aros y tu ôl i bobl a allai fod wedi derbyn gofal sydd ei angen arnyn nhw mewn modd yr un mor rhwydd ac yn fwy cyfleus yn y gymuned. Rwy'n fwy na pharod i edrych ar yr achos unigol i weld a yw'r egwyddorion hynny wedi eu rhoi ar waith yn briodol yn yr achos hwnnw, ond dyna'r dull sylfaenol y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei ddilyn o ran y gwasanaethau hyn.
English: Llywydd, the latest Welsh index of multiple deprivation was published on 27 November. It well illustrates the impact of a decade of enforced austerity on communities across Wales.
Welsh: Llywydd, cyhoeddwyd mynegai amddifadedd lluosog diweddaraf Cymru ar 27 Tachwedd. Mae'n dangos yn glir effaith degawd o gyni cyllidol a orfodwyd ar gymunedau ledled Cymru.
English: There was some positive news for Lansbury Park in the Caerphilly constituency. It is no longer ranked as the most deprived area in Wales, although, as the First Minister recognises, there are still difficulties and it remains in the top 10. I think the improvement has been down to a mixture of investment from the Welsh Government, the European Union and Caerphilly County Borough Council, particularly with regard to the Welsh housing quality standard - £8 million has been spent on new cladding and roofing for council properties, £4.5 million has been spent on new bathrooms and kitchens, and overall £2.5 million in addition with regard to the Welsh housing quality standard. I think some of the things we've talked about today with regard to education and the improvements the Welsh Government has planned there will make a difference in Lansbury Park - Flying Start makes a difference to that community. What more can the Welsh Government and the First Minister envision will be done for a close-knit community, a wonderful community, like Lansbury Park?
Welsh: Cafwyd rhywfaint o newyddion cadarnhaol i Barc Lansbury yn etholaeth Caerffili. Nid yw bellach wedi ei restru fel yr ardal fwyaf difreintiedig yng Nghymru, er bod anawsterau'n parhau, fel y mae'r Prif Weinidog yn cydnabod, ac mae'n dal i fod ymhlith y 10 uchaf. Rwy'n credu bod y gwelliant wedi deillio o gymysgedd o fuddsoddiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru, yr Undeb Ewropeaidd a Chyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Caerffili, yn enwedig o ran safon ansawdd tai Cymru - gwariwyd £8 miliwn ar gladin a thoeau newydd ar gyfer eiddo'r cyngor, gwariwyd £4.5 miliwn ar ystafelloedd ymolchi a cheginau newydd, a £2.5 miliwn cyffredinol yn ychwanegol o ran safon ansawdd tai Cymru. Rwy'n credu y bydd rhai o'r pethau yr ydym ni wedi sôn amdanyn nhw heddiw ynglŷn ag addysg a'r gwelliannau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi eu cynllunio yn hynny o beth yn gwneud gwahaniaeth ym Mharc Lansbury - mae Dechrau'n Deg yn gwneud gwahaniaeth i'r gymuned honno. Beth arall all Llywodraeth Cymru a'r Prif Weinidog ragweld fydd yn cael ei wneud ar gyfer cymuned glòs, cymuned fendigedig, fel Parc Lansbury?
English: I thank the Member for that. The unadopted roads taskforce group published its report last summer and the recommendations were approved by the Minister for Economy and Transport. That group is now implementing the recommendations that it made.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am hynny. Cyhoeddodd grŵp y tasglu ffyrdd sydd heb eu mabwysiadu ei adroddiad yr haf diwethaf a chymeradwywyd yr argymhellion gan Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth. Mae'r grŵp hwnnw bellach yn gweithredu'r argymhellion a wnaeth.
English: I thank the First Minister for that answer. And I've arrived here at Plenary today straight from a meeting with Persimmon, where it looks as though we are very, very close to getting three estates adopted, some of which were built almost 18 years ago. But I'm very well aware that, for every family who I've been able to help with regard to that, there are many, many other home owners out there in Wales living on unadopted roads or on unadopted estates. I welcome the findings of the unadopted roads taskforce, but I would like to know what plans are there for the future to progress those recommendations.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Prif Weinidog am yr ateb hwnnw. Rwyf i wedi cyrraedd y cyfarfod llawn heddiw yn syth o gyfarfod â Persimmon, lle mae'n ymddangos ein bod ni'n agos iawn, iawn at gael tair ystad wedi eu mabwysiadu, rai ohonyn nhw wedi'u hadeiladu bron 18 mlynedd yn ôl. Ond rwy'n ymwybodol iawn, ar gyfer pob teulu yr wyf i wedi llwyddo i'w helpu, fod llawer iawn o berchenogion cartrefi eraill yng Nghymru sy'n byw ar ffyrdd sydd heb eu mabwysiadu neu ar ystadau sydd heb eu mabwysiadu. Rwy'n croesawu canfyddiadau'r tasglu ffyrdd sydd heb eu mabwysiadu, ond hoffwn i wybod pa gynlluniau sydd ar y gweill i'r dyfodol i fwrw ymlaen â'r argymhellion hynny.
English: I thank the Member for that. There were seven different recommendations made by the group. It wanted a good practice guide to be produced, and that has been produced, and it's currently being trialled by local authorities. It asked for the development of a set of common standards, and that work is very close to completion. It's been carried out jointly by local authorities and by housing developers. And it began its recommendations by asking for the establishment of a comprehensive database of unadopted roads here in Wales, so we knew the scale of the problem and what needed to be done. That work of establishing that database is nearly complete. We expect to see it ready for publication in the new year, and the Minister for Economy and Transport will provide further information to Members on that work once it has been completed.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am hynny. Gwnaeth y grŵp saith gwahanol argymhelliad. Roedd eisiau gweld canllaw arfer da yn cael ei gynhyrchu, ac mae hwnnw wedi cael ei gynhyrchu, ac mae'n cael ei dreialu gan awdurdodau lleol ar hyn o bryd. Gofynnodd am ddatblygu cyfres o safonau cyffredin, ac mae'r gwaith hwnnw'n agos iawn at gael ei gwblhau. Fe'i cynhaliwyd ar y cyd ag awdurdodau lleol a datblygwyr tai. Dechreuodd ar ei argymhellion drwy ofyn am sefydlu cronfa ddata gynhwysfawr o ffyrdd sydd heb eu mabwysiadu yma yng Nghymru, felly roeddem yn ymwybodol o faint y broblem a'r hyn yr oedd angen ei wneud. Mae'r gwaith o sefydlu'r gronfa ddata honno bron wedi'i gwblhau. Rydym yn disgwyl ei gweld yn barod i'w chyhoeddi yn y flwyddyn newydd, a bydd Gweinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth yn rhoi rhagor o wybodaeth i'r Aelodau am y gwaith hwnnw ar ôl iddo gael ei gwblhau.
English: The next item is the business statement and announcement, and I call on the Trefnydd to make the statement. Rebecca Evans.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf felly yw'r datganiad a chyhoeddiad busnes, a dwi'n galw ar y Trefnydd i wneud y datganiad hwnnw. Rebecca Evans.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. There are two changes to this week's business. Later this afternoon, the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs will make a statement on the food and drink Wales cluster network, and, additionally, tomorrow's short debate has been postponed. Draft business for the next three sitting weeks is set out on the business statement and announcement, which can be found amongst the meeting papers available to Members electronically.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Mae dau newid i fusnes yr wythnos hon. Yn ddiweddarach y prynhawn yma, bydd Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig yn gwneud datganiad ynghylch rhwydwaith clwstwr bwyd a diod Cymru, ac, yn ogystal â hynny, mae'r ddadl fer yfory wedi'i gohirio. Mae'r busnes drafft ar gyfer y tair wythnos eistedd nesaf wedi'i nodi yn y datganiad a chyhoeddiad busnes, sydd i'w weld ymhlith papurau'r cyfarfodydd sydd ar gael i'r Aelodau'n electronig.
English: Thank you to Darren Millar for raising these issues this afternoon. He'll remember that the Minister for Health and Social Services published on 14 November the revised improvement framework for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, setting out the expectations it will need to meet in order to be stepped down from its special measures. And I know the health Minister was pleased to note that positive progress has been made in terms of mental health services, including the I CAN approach to improving mental health. But I appreciate Darren Millar's concerns about different approaches across the area that he represents. So, I would invite him to write to the health Minister, reiterating the concerns that he's spoken about in the Assembly today. In terms of safety in rented accommodation and carbon monoxide, I'll ask the Minister for Housing and Local Government to write to you with the latest update in terms of the standards that we do require for rented accommodation, but with a particular focus on the importance of carbon monoxide testers.

Welsh: Diolch i Darren Millar am godi'r materion hyn y prynhawn yma. Bydd ef yn cofio bod y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol wedi cyhoeddi'r fframwaith gwella diwygiedig ar gyfer Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr ar 14 Tachwedd, gan nodi'r disgwyliadau y bydd angen iddo eu bodloni er mwyn cael ei dynnu oddi ar fesurau arbennig. A gwn fod y Gweinidog Iechyd yn falch o nodi bod cynnydd cadarnhaol wedi'i wneud o ran gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl, gan gynnwys y dull ICAN o wella iechyd meddwl. Ond rwy'n gwerthfawrogi pryderon Darren Millar am wahanol ddulliau ledled yr ardal y mae'n ei chynrychioli. Felly, byddwn i'n ei wahodd i ysgrifennu at y Gweinidog Iechyd, gan ailadrodd y pryderon y mae wedi sôn amdanyn nhw yn y Cynulliad heddiw. O ran diogelwch mewn llety rhent a charbon monocsid, byddaf i'n gofyn i'r Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol ysgrifennu atoch gyda'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf o ran y safonau y mae eu hangen arnom ar gyfer llety rhent, ond gan ganolbwyntio'n benodol ar bwysigrwydd profwyr carbon monocsid.

English: Minister, may I ask for two statements from the Minister for Education on attendance at secondary schools in Blaenau Gwent. According to a recent report, over the last three years, attendance at secondary schools in the borough has failed to improve. Blaenau Gwent ranks lower than all the other local authorities in south-east Wales and well below the Welsh average of 93.8 per cent. Please could we have a statement from the Minister on what action she intends to take to address this serious situation - [ Interruption. ] - which has seen Blaenau Gwent ranked - this is my region - twentieth of 21 Welsh local authorities for secondary school attendance for the last three years? And the second one is, Minister, on this PISA result, word by word they are saying on the well-being of Welsh pupils: 'They were more likely to feel miserable and worriedand less likely to feel joyful, cheerful and proud.' That is the PISA result for our Welsh students. So, how can we improve our children's morale standard and our teaching system in our schools to make sure that they not only learn, but also that they enjoy in Welsh schools? Thank you.
Welsh: Gweinidog, a gaf i ofyn am ddau ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog Addysg am bresenoldeb mewn ysgolion uwchradd ym Mlaenau Gwent. Yn ôl adroddiad diweddar, dros y tair blynedd diwethaf, mae presenoldeb mewn ysgolion uwchradd yn y fwrdeistref wedi methu â gwella. Mae Blaenau Gwent yn is na'r holl awdurdodau lleol eraill yn y de-ddwyrain ac mae'n is o lawer na chyfartaledd Cymru o 93.8 y cant. A fyddai modd inni gael datganiad gan y Gweinidog ynghylch pa gamau y mae'n bwriadu eu cymryd i fynd i'r afael â'r sefyllfa ddifrifol hon - [ Torri ar draws. ] - sydd wedi gweld Blaenau Gwent - dyma fy rhanbarth i - yn ugeinfed o'r 21 awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru o ran presenoldeb mewn ysgolion uwchradd dros y tair blynedd diwethaf? A'r ail, Gweinidog, yw datganiad am y canlyniad PISA hwn, maen nhw'n dweud, gair am air, am lesiant disgyblion Cymru: Roedden nhw'n fwy tebygol o deimlo'n ddigalon ac yn bryderusac yn llai tebygol o deimlo'n llawen, yn siriol ac yn falch. Dyna ganlyniad PISA i'n myfyrwyr Cymraeg. Felly, sut gallwn ni wella safon morâl ein plant a'n system addysgu yn ein hysgolion i wneud yn siŵr eu bod nid yn unig yn dysgu, ond hefyd eu bod yn mwynhau yn ysgolion Cymru? Diolch.
English: So, on the first issue, which is the attendance at secondary schools in Blaenau Gwent, I'd invite you to write to the Minister for Education outlining your views and concerns there. And, of course, the next item of business this afternoon is the statement by the education Minister on the PISA results, and I know that she's keen to discuss all of these issues with Members this afternoon.
Welsh: Felly, o ran y mater cyntaf, sef presenoldeb mewn ysgolion uwchradd ym Mlaenau Gwent, byddwn i'n eich gwahodd i ysgrifennu at y Gweinidog Addysg yn amlinellu eich safbwyntiau a'ch pryderon yno. Ac, wrth gwrs, yr eitem nesaf o fusnes y prynhawn yma yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Addysg ar ganlyniadau PISA, a gwn i ei bod yn awyddus i drafod yr holl faterion hyn gyda'r Aelodau y prynhawn yma.
English: I'm certainly looking forward to celebrating Small Business Saturday, as I'm sure many other colleagues are as well in the run-up to Christmas, and obviously I'm sure that we'll take every opportunity we can to support and promote those independent traders that we have within each of our constituencies across Wales, and the vibrancy that they bring to our high streets. The Minister with responsibility for regeneration is here, and she will have heard your request in terms of an update as to how Welsh Government is supporting high streets, especially in terms of addressing the need to create the high street of the future, which, as the First Minister said, will look very different to that of the past. FootnoteLink Welsh Government has been doing some really interesting work with the Carnegie Trust, which has been looking at what the future of Welsh high streets might look like, and I'd be happy to share a link to that work with colleagues because I'm sure it would be of interest to Members across the Chamber. And in terms of a national forest, I also share the enthusiasm of various parties that are now grappling with and understanding the importance of ensuring that we are planting trees in the right places, and that we put in those plans for the maintenance of our woodlands and our forests as well. I will speak to the Minister with responsibility for this to explore what opportunities there might be in due course to update the Assembly on our plans in that area.
Welsh: Yn sicr, rwy'n edrych ymlaen at ddathlu Dydd Sadwrn Busnesau Bach, yn debyg, rwy'n siŵr, i lawer o gyd-Aelodau eraill yn y cyfnod cyn y Nadolig, ac yn amlwg rwy'n siŵr y byddwn ni'n manteisio ar bob cyfle i gefnogi a hyrwyddo'r masnachwyr annibynnol hynny sydd o fewn pob un o'n hetholaethau ledled Cymru, a'r bywiogrwydd y maen nhw'n ei roi i'n strydoedd mawr. Mae'r Gweinidog sydd â chyfrifoldeb am adfywio yma, a bydd hi wedi clywed eich cais chi o ran yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf ynghylch y ffordd y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cefnogi'r stryd fawr, yn enwedig o ran mynd i'r afael â'r angen i greu stryd fawr y dyfodol, sydd, fel y dywedodd y Prif Weinidog, yn edrych yn wahanol iawn i'r gorffennol. FootnoteLink Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn gwneud gwaith diddorol iawn gydag Ymddiriedolaeth Carnegie, sydd wedi bod yn ystyried sut wedd fydd ar ddyfodol y stryd fawr yng Nghymru, a byddwn i'n hapus i rannu dolen i'r gwaith hwnnw gyda chydweithwyr oherwydd rwy'n siŵr y byddai o ddiddordeb i'r Aelodau ar draws y Siambr. Ac o ran coedwig genedlaethol, rwyf innau hefyd yn rhannu brwdfrydedd y gwahanol bleidiau sydd bellach yn deall ac yn mynd i'r afael â phwysigrwydd sicrhau ein bod ni'n plannu coed yn y lleoedd iawn, a'n bod ni'n cyflwyno'r cynlluniau hynny ar gyfer cynnal a chadw ein coetiroedd a'n coedwigoedd hefyd. Siaradaf i â'r Gweinidog sy'n gyfrifol am hyn i archwilio pa gyfleoedd a allai fod ar gael maes o law i roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Cynulliad am ein cynlluniau ni yn y maes hwnnw.
