English: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in Wales has now risen to six and is expected to rise further. Therefore, it's absolutely crucial that any public information campaign now reaches all parts of Wales so that the public is fully aware of the steps they can take to protect themselves and their families and limit the spread of this virus. What further steps can the Welsh Government take to ensure it maximises the coverage of any public information campaigns in Wales? What additional steps is the Welsh Government taking to ensure that the people of Wales quickly recognise the symptoms of the virus and are properly signposted to the appropriate advice and treatment?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, mae nifer yr achosion o coronafeirws yng Nghymru a gadarnhawyd wedi codi i chwech erbyn hyn a disgwylir i hynny godi eto. Felly, mae'n gwbl hanfodol bod unrhyw ymgyrch gwybodaeth gyhoeddus yn cyrraedd pob rhan o Gymru nawr fel bod y cyhoedd yn gwbl ymwybodol o'r camau y gallan nhw eu cymryd i amddiffyn eu hunain a'u teuluoedd ac i gyfyngu lledaeniad y feirws hwn. Pa gamau eraill all Llywodraeth Cymru eu cymryd i sicrhau bod unrhyw ymgyrchoedd gwybodaeth gyhoeddus yng Nghymru yn cael cymaint o sylw â phosibl? Pa gamau ychwanegol y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i sicrhau bod pobl Cymru yn adnabod symptomau'r feirws yn gyflym a'u bod nhw'n cael eu cyfeirio'n gywir at y cyngor a'r driniaeth briodol?
English: I thank Paul Davies for that important question. He's right to say that there are six confirmed cases in Wales at present, but all the evidence and expert advice that we have says that that number will rise. This does give us an opportunity to make sure that the public messaging that we offer is clear, concise and understandable to people. At yesterday's meeting of the COBRA committee, chaired by the Prime Minister, we agreed that it was important that those messages should be UK-wide. So, many people in Wales, as the leader of the opposition will know, receive the bulk of their news from outlets outside Wales. So, consistency of messaging across the United Kingdom becomes, I think, particularly important in this case, and we will work closely with other UK Governments to make sure that there is no confusion in messaging between different parts of the United Kingdom. Here in Wales, there is already, I think, a very effective symptom checker available through the Public Health Wales website, where, if anybody feels that they need to check what they are experiencing against coronavirus symptoms, it takes them through a series of very simple steps and gives them advice at the end of it. The 111 system now provides advice right across Wales free for people in the coronavirus field, and we will continue to use trusted sources of advice through the NHS and through Public Health Wales to make sure that, where public messaging is being made available, it reaches as many people and as quickly as possible.
Welsh: Diolchaf i Paul Davies am y cwestiwn pwysig yna. Mae'n iawn i ddweud bod chwe achos wedi eu cadarnhau yng Nghymru ar hyn o bryd, ond mae'r holl dystiolaeth a'r cyngor arbenigol sydd gennym ni'n dweud y bydd y nifer honno'n codi. Mae hyn yn rhoi cyfle i ni wneud yn siŵr bod y negeseuon cyhoeddus yr ydym ni'n eu cynnig yn eglur, yn gryno ac yn ddealladwy i bobl. Yng nghyfarfod pwyllgor COBRA ddoe, dan gadeiryddiaeth Prif Weinidog y DU, cytunasom ei bod hi'n bwysig y dylai'r negeseuon hynny gael eu cyfleu ledled y DU. Felly, mae llawer o bobl yng Nghymru, fel y mae arweinydd yr wrthblaid yn gwybod, yn cael y rhan fwyaf o'u newyddion o fannau y tu allan i Gymru. Felly, mae cysondeb negeseuon ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig yn dod yn arbennig o bwysig yn yr achos hwn, rwy'n credu, a byddwn yn gweithio'n agos gyda Llywodraethau eraill y DU i wneud yn siŵr nad oes unrhyw ddryswch o ran negeseuon rhwng gwahanol rannau o'r Deyrnas Unedig. Yma yng Nghymru, mae gwiriwr symptomau effeithiol iawn, yn fy marn i, ar gael drwy wefan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru eisoes, lle, os bydd unrhyw un yn teimlo ei fod angen gwirio'r hyn y mae'n ei ddioddef yn erbyn symptomau coronafeirws, mae'n ei dywys trwy gyfres o gamau syml iawn ac yn rhoi cyngor iddo ar ddiwedd y broses. Mae'r system 111 bellach yn rhoi cyngor am ddim ar draws Cymru gyfan i bobl ym maes coronafeirws, a byddwn yn parhau i ddefnyddio ffynonellau cyngor dibynadwy drwy'r GIG a thrwy Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru i sicrhau, pan fydd negeseuon cyhoeddus yn cael eu darparu, eu bod yn cyrraedd cymaint o bobl a phosibl mor gyflym â phosibl.
English: First Minister, I understand now that the UK Government has established coronavirus ministerial leads across Government departments, and perhaps you could tell us if the Welsh Government is doing the same to explore all issues and impacts that the virus may have. For example, there's very little guidance or information around the public transport network, particularly given that research published in BMC Infectious Diseases found that those using public transport during flu outbreaks were up to six times more likely to pick up an acute respiratory infection. Of course, there are some very valid concerns around public transport as there are often high numbers of people travelling in overcrowded train carriages, there can be poor ventilation and a lack of hygiene facilities on board as well. And yet travelling on the public transport network is still essential for many people around Wales. Can you therefore tell us what research has the Welsh Government done on the level of threat posed by using the public transport network in its current state? Can you also tell us what discussions the Welsh Government has had with public transport operators across Wales about how they can ensure that passengers are as safe as possible when travelling? And what additional resources are being offered to public transport operators to ensure that they have what they need to ensure that their vehicles and stations are as clean and safe as possible?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, rwy'n deall erbyn hyn bod Llywodraeth y DU wedi sefydlu arweinwyr gweinidogol ar coronafeirws ar draws adrannau'r Llywodraeth, ac efallai y gallech chi ddweud wrthym ni a yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwneud hynny hefyd i ymchwilio i'r holl broblemau ac effeithiau y gallai'r feirws eu creu. Er enghraifft, prin iawn yw'r cyfarwyddyd neu wybodaeth am y rhwydwaith cludiant cyhoeddus, yn enwedig o ystyried bod gwaith ymchwil a gyhoeddwyd yn BMC Infectious Diseases wedi canfod bod y rhai sy'n defnyddio cludiant cyhoeddus yn ystod achosion o'r ffliw hyd at chwe gwaith yn fwy tebygol o ddal haint anadlol acíwt. Wrth gwrs, ceir rhai pryderon dilys iawn ynghylch cludiant cyhoeddus gan fod nifer fawr o bobl yn aml yn teithio mewn cerbydau trên gorlawn, gall fod awyru gwael a diffyg cyfleusterau hylendid ar y trên hefyd. Ac eto mae teithio ar y rhwydwaith cludiant cyhoeddus yn dal yn hanfodol i lawer o bobl ledled Cymru. Felly, a allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni pa ymchwil y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ei wneud i lefel y bygythiad sy'n cael ei beri drwy ddefnyddio'r rhwydwaith cludiant cyhoeddus yn ei gyflwr presennol? A allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni hefyd pa drafodaethau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi eu cael gyda chwmnïau cludiant cyhoeddus ledled Cymru ynghylch sut y gallan nhw sicrhau bod teithwyr mor ddiogel â phosibl wrth deithio? A pha adnoddau ychwanegol sy'n cael eu cynnig i gwmnïau cludiant cyhoeddus i sicrhau bod ganddyn nhw'r hyn sydd ei angen arnyn nhw i sicrhau bod eu cerbydau a'u gorsafoedd mor lân a diogel â phosibl?
English: First Minister, of course, I'm pleased that the UK Government and the Welsh Government have worked together on legislation to strengthen the Welsh Government's powers on matters like quarantining and mass gatherings, and, as you're already aware, some schools in Wales and across the UK have closed their doors to students at risk of coronavirus. Of course, schools are a particular problem in terms of stopping the spread of the virus, and so it's important that there are mechanisms in place for the Welsh Government to close schools, if it needs to. As the threat of the virus spreading is still high, what preparations have the Welsh Government made for the impact that this could have on schools, colleges and universities across Wales at this stage? What discussions have taken place with Ministers across the UK about developing contingency plans for the education sector and, indeed, the health service, should there be a significant increase in the number of children and young people affected? And what discussions has the Welsh Government had with the nursery and early sector, given that children under five, and especially those under two, are at higher risk due to their lower resilience?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, wrth gwrs, rwy'n falch bod Llywodraeth y DU a Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cydweithio ar ddeddfwriaeth i gryfhau pwerau Llywodraeth Cymru ar faterion fel cwarantinio a chrynoadau torfol, ac fel yr ydych chi eisoes yn gwybod, mae rhai ysgolion yng Nghymru a ledled y DU wedi cau eu drysau i fyfyrwyr sydd mewn perygl o coronafeirws. Wrth gwrs, mae ysgolion yn broblem benodol o ran atal lledaeniad y feirws, ac felly mae'n bwysig bod dulliau ar waith i Lywodraeth Cymru gau ysgolion, os bydd angen iddi wneud hynny. Gan fod y bygythiad o ledaenu'r feirws yn dal yn uchel, pa baratoadau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi eu gwneud ar gyfer yr effaith y gallai hyn ei chael ar ysgolion, colegau a phrifysgolion ledled Cymru ar hyn o bryd? Pa drafodaethau sydd wedi eu cynnal gyda Gweinidogion ledled y DU am ddatblygu cynlluniau wrth gefn ar gyfer y sector addysg ac, yn wir, y gwasanaeth iechyd, pe byddai cynnydd sylweddol i nifer y plant a phobl ifanc sy'n cael eu heffeithio? A pha drafodaethau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi eu cael gyda'r sector meithrin a blynyddoedd cynnar, o gofio bod plant o dan bump oed, ac yn enwedig y rhai o dan ddwyflwydd oed, mewn mwy o berygl oherwydd eu bod yn llai gwydn?
English: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, I believe it's been confirmed that all cases of coronavirus confirmed in Wales had recently returned from Italy. What measures have you taken as a Government to identify Welsh residents who have returned from Italy since the outbreak of the virus, and what extra precautions are in place to ensure that the disease is contained as best as possible? And also, I was wondering if you could respond to some of the comments made by the shadow Chancellor yesterday when he criticised the speed of action in the response by the UK Government and tardiness on the part of the Chancellor and called for the UK Government to get a grip. To some extent, these comments were echoed by the former Minister Rory Stewart. Do you think that these comments are in any way legitimate concerns at this stage?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, rwy'n credu y cadarnhawyd bod pob achos o coronafeirws a gadarnhawyd yng Nghymru wedi dychwelyd yn ddiweddar o'r Eidal. Pa fesurau ydych chi wedi eu cymryd fel Llywodraeth i nodi trigolion Cymru sydd wedi dychwelyd o'r Eidal ers dyfodiad y feirws, a pha ragofalon ychwanegol sydd ar waith i sicrhau bod y clefyd yn cael ei gyfyngu cymaint â phosibl? A hefyd, roeddwn i'n meddwl tybed a allech chi ymateb i rai o'r sylwadau a wnaed gan Ganghellor yr wrthblaid ddoe pan feirniadodd gyflymder y gweithredu yn yr ymateb gan Lywodraeth y DU a'r arafwch ar ran y Canghellor gan alw ar Lywodraeth y DU i gael gafael ar bethau. I ryw raddau, adleisiwyd y sylwadau hyn gan y cyn-Weinidog Rory Stewart. A ydych chi'n credu bod y sylwadau hyn yn bryderon dilys mewn unrhyw ffordd ar hyn o bryd?
English: Coronavirus is obviously putting pressure on the NHS in all four nations. Labour's shadow health spokesperson, Jon Ashworth, yesterday asked the health Secretary in England for extra resources because critical care beds in England were at 81 per cent capacity during the week that the latest coronavirus figures were available. The Welsh Government's own task and finish group said: 'NHS Wales has a lower number of critical care beds for the size of the population than the rest of the UK.' The availability of NHS beds obviously needs to increase drastically, given that hospitals have been operating above the safe level of 85 per cent occupancy for almost 10 years. In the circumstances that we're facing now, have you already identified how you would secure additional critical care beds? And if so, how many?
Welsh: Yn amlwg, mae coronafeirws yn rhoi pwysau ar y GIG ym mhob un o'r pedair gwlad. Gofynnodd llefarydd iechyd y blaid Lafur, Jon Ashworth, ddoe i'r Ysgrifennydd iechyd yn Lloegr am adnoddau ychwanegol gan fod gwelyau gofal critigol yn Lloegr wedi cyrraedd 81 y cant o'r capasiti yn ystod yr wythnos yr oedd y ffigurau coronafeirws diweddaraf ar gael. Dywedodd grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen Llywodraeth Cymru ei hun: Mae gan GIG Cymru lai o welyau gofal critigol ar gyfer maint y boblogaeth na gweddill y DU. Yn amlwg, mae angen i nifer y gwelyau sydd ar gael yn y GIG gynyddu'n sylweddol, o gofio bod ysbytai wedi bod yn gweithredu uwchlaw'r lefel ddiogel o 85 y cant o welyau llawn ers bron i 10 mlynedd. O dan yr amgylchiadau sy'n ein hwynebu ni nawr, a ydych chi eisoes wedi nodi sut y byddech chi'n sicrhau gwelyau gofal critigol ychwanegol? Ac os felly, faint ohonyn nhw?
English: The cusp of what may turn out to be a global pandemic is obviously not a time when anyone would want to be contemplating closing facilities within the NHS. Five weeks ago, when asked if you would intervene to keep accident and emergency services at Royal Glamorgan Hospital, you said we're not remotely at that point yet. In the next two weeks, the health board will make a final decision. Have we reached that point? And if so, will you intervene today?
Welsh: Yn amlwg, nid yw sefyllfa sydd ar fin troi'n bandemig byd-eang o bosibl yn amser pan fyddai unrhyw un eisiau ystyried cau cyfleusterau yn y GIG. Bum wythnos yn ôl, pan ofynnwyd a fyddech chi'n ymyrryd i gadw gwasanaethau damweiniau ac achosion brys yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg, dywedasoch nad ydym ni'n agos o gwbl at y pwynt hwnnw eto. Yn ystod y pythefnos nesaf, bydd y bwrdd iechyd yn gwneud penderfyniad terfynol. A ydym ni wedi cyrraedd y pwynt hwnnw? Ac os felly, a wnewch chi ymyrryd heddiw?
English: Llywydd, there is a very well set out and legally necessary process by which a decision arrives on the desk of a Welsh Minister. That is a process in which those organisations that have a legal right to refer a matter to the Minister's desk are the people who have to do that, if they choose to do it. We're not at that point. The health board will have to make its determination, and then an organisation, such as a community health council, who can refer that matter to a Minister for determination, would have to decide to do that. That's how the process works. That's how the process has to work to be legally watertight. And, we're not at that point. We may not get to that point, because the decision has to be referred for a Minister to take a decision. But, if it does happen, Ministers have legal responsibilities. And that's why it has been so important, in all of that, that Ministers don't pre-judge a situation in which any decision they then made would be vulnerable to challenge.
Welsh: Llywydd, ceir proses sydd wedi'i chyflwyno'n eglur iawn ac sy'n angenrheidiol yn gyfreithiol a ddilynir fel bod penderfyniad yn cyrraedd ar ddesg un o Weinidogion Cymru. Mae honno'n broses lle mai'r sefydliadau hynny sydd â hawl gyfreithiol i gyfeirio mater at ddesg y Gweinidog yw'r bobl sy'n gorfod gwneud hynny, os ydyn nhw'n dewis gwneud hynny. Dydyn ni ddim ar y pwynt hwnnw. Bydd yn rhaid i'r bwrdd iechyd wneud ei benderfyniad, ac yna byddai'n rhaid i sefydliad, fel cyngor iechyd cymuned, a all gyfeirio'r mater hwnnw at Weinidog i'w benderfynu, benderfynu gwneud hynny. Dyna sut mae'r broses yn gweithio. Dyna sut y mae'n rhaid i'r broses weithio i fod yn gyfreithiol anatebadwy. A dydyn ni ddim wedi cyrraedd y pwynt hwnnw. Efallai na fyddwn ni'n cyrraedd y pwynt hwnnw, oherwydd mae'n rhaid i'r penderfyniad gael ei atgyfeirio er mwyn i Weinidog wneud penderfyniad. Ond, os bydd yn digwydd, mae gan Weinidogion gyfrifoldebau cyfreithiol. A dyna pam mae wedi bod mor bwysig, yn hynny i gyd, nad yw Gweinidogion yn rhagfarnu sefyllfa lle byddai unrhyw benderfyniad y maen nhw'n ei wneud wedyn yn agored i her.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, if I may turn to flooding, the industry association for forestry businesses, Confor, says that Welsh Government's and NRW's interpretation of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 resists changes to any landscape where the habitat or designation is not for woodland. Given the flood mitigation benefits of tree planting on uplands, and the opportunities for decarbonisation are there as well, do you agree that guidance for interpreting the Act is now outdated? In 2017, the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee looked at barriers to tree planting. Confor and Tilhill Forestry were among those who gave evidence, and said that the environmental impact assessments were a huge barrier to tree planting. Since that report, the environmental impact assessment regulations have not changed. Would you agree that it's time we did more to enable tree planting, given the declared climate emergency and the devastating flooding we've recently seen, and should this include updated environment Act regulations and guidance to remove barriers to tree planting?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, os caf i droi at lifogydd, mae'r gymdeithas diwydiant ar gyfer busnesau coedwigaeth, Confor, yn dweud bod dehongliad Llywodraeth Cymru a Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru o Ddeddf yr Amgylchedd (Cymru) 2016 yn atal newidiadau i unrhyw dirwedd lle nad yw'r cynefin neu'r dynodiad ar gyfer coetir. O gofio manteision plannu coed ar ucheldir i liniaru rhag llifogydd, a'r cyfleoedd i ddatgarboneiddio sydd yno hefyd, a ydych chi'n cytuno bod y canllawiau ar gyfer dehongli'r Ddeddf yn rhy hen erbyn hyn? Yn 2017, edrychodd y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig ar rwystrau i blannu coed. Roedd Confor a Tilhill Forestry ymhlith y rhai a roddodd dystiolaeth, a dywedasant fod yr asesiadau o'r effaith amgylcheddol yn rhwystr enfawr i blannu coed. Ers yr adroddiad hwnnw, nid yw'r rheoliadau asesu effaith amgylcheddol wedi newid. A fyddech chi'n cytuno ei bod hi'n bryd i ni wneud mwy i alluogi plannu coed, o ystyried yr argyfwng hinsawdd a ddatganwyd, a'r llifogydd dinistriol yr ydym ni wedi eu gweld yn ddiweddar, ac a ddylai hyn gynnwys diweddaru rheoliadau a chanllawiau Deddf yr amgylchedd i gael gwared ar rwystrau i blannu coed?
English: Llywydd, let me begin by agreeing with what the Member has said about the beneficial impact that tree planting can have in relation to flood prevention. Increasing forest cover within river catchments increases canopy evaporation, enhances ground water storage, improves soil structure and resilience, and, very importantly, slows the flow of water. So, there is a strong case that the Member has referred to that additional tree planting has a part to play in flood defences. There is a balance to be struck between the planting of additional woodland and the impact on biodiversity. Now, because that balance has to be struck, we have a regime in Wales in which, if planting of woodland above five hectares is proposed, then an environmental impact assessment has to be carried out to make sure that the extra tree planting, with its benefits, doesn't crowd out other important objectives in the environmental field. The Minister, I know, is considering at the moment whether that five-hectare threshold is too low, and might be raised. That would have a beneficial impact in making it easier to plant trees, but we would have to be confident that it would not lead to significant biodiversity loss, which might, by itself, outweigh the advantages that the tree planting would bring.
Welsh: Llywydd, gadewch i mi ddechrau drwy gytuno â'r hyn y mae'r Aelod wedi ei ddweud am yr effaith lesol y gall plannu coed ei chael o ran atal llifogydd. Mae cynyddu gorchudd coedwigoedd mewn dalgylchoedd afonydd yn cynyddu anweddiad canopi, yn gwella storfeydd dŵr daear, yn gwella strwythur a gwydnwch y pridd, ac, yn bwysig iawn, yn arafu llif dŵr. Felly, ceir achos cryf y mae'r Aelod wedi cyfeirio ato fod gan blannu coed ychwanegol ran i'w chwarae mewn amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd. Mae angen taro cydbwysedd rhwng plannu coetiroedd ychwanegol a'r effaith ar fioamrywiaeth. Nawr, gan fod yn rhaid cael y cydbwysedd hwnnw, mae gennym ni drefn yng Nghymru lle, os cynigir plannu coetiroedd dros bum hectar, yna mae'n rhaid cynnal asesiad o'r effaith amgylcheddol i wneud yn siŵr nad yw'r plannu coed ychwanegol, gyda'i fanteision, yn atal amcanion pwysig eraill yn y maes amgylcheddol. Gwn fod y Gweinidog yn ystyried ar hyn o bryd a yw'r trothwy pum hectar hwnnw'n rhy isel, ac a ellid ei godi. Byddai hynny'n fuddiol o ran ei gwneud yn haws plannu coed, ond byddai'n rhaid i ni fod yn ffyddiog na fyddai'n arwain at golled sylweddol o ran bioamrywiaeth, a allai, ar ei ben ei hun, wrthbwyso'r manteision a fyddai'n dod yn sgil plannu coed.
English: I welcome the Minister giving that reconsideration. However, Confor also mentioned the issue of where a landscape is designated in some other way, say an upland sort of moorland, that they find there is a presumption against tree planting in those areas. And they can be much cheaper areas, say £1,000 a hectare, rather than several thousand, making the planting much more economic and likely to go ahead. Should we not also look at those designations, and allow greater flexibility for tree planting? Now, decisions around dredging are affected by the EU water framework directive, and we know that the use of dredging reduced significantly around the time that directive was passed and then implemented. Now, we know that greater dredging would not mitigate all flooding, but it might have made a difference in some cases, for instance, the river Conwy, where we heard from Janet Finch-Saunders. Vikki Howells, from your own benches, made a similar point last week from a south Wales Valleys perspective. Meanwhile, the resumption of dredging the Somerset Levels does seem to have helped in that area. If coupled with regulations that encourage upland tree planting, couldn't increased dredging mitigate future flood risk? Now that we've left the EU, shouldn't we develop our home-made practices and frameworks for dredging and flood protection? And do you agree that these should encourage upland tree planting and make it easier to undertake appropriate dredging?
Welsh: Croesawaf y ffaith fod y Gweinidog yn ailystyried yn y modd hwnnw. Fodd bynnag, cyfeiriodd Confor hefyd at y mater o ble mae tirwedd wedi'i dynodi mewn rhyw ffordd arall, math o rostir ucheldirol dywedwch, eu bod nhw'n canfod bod rhagdybiaeth yn erbyn plannu coed yn yr ardaloedd hynny. A gallan nhw fod yn ardaloedd llawer rhatach, £1,000 yr hectar dywedwch, yn hytrach na sawl mil, gan wneud y plannu'n llawer mwy economaidd ac yn debygol o fynd rhagddo. Oni ddylem ni edrych hefyd ar y dynodiadau hynny, a chaniatáu mwy o hyblygrwydd ar gyfer plannu coed? Nawr, mae cyfarwyddeb fframwaith dŵr yr UE yn effeithio ar benderfyniadau ynghylch carthu, ac rydym ni'n gwybod bod y defnydd o garthu wedi lleihau'n sylweddol tua'r adeg y cafodd y gyfarwyddeb honno ei phasio a'i gweithredu. Nawr, rydym ni'n gwybod na fyddai mwy o garthu yn lliniaru'r holl lifogydd, ond efallai y byddai wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth mewn rhai achosion, er enghraifft, afon Conwy, lle y clywsom ni gan Janet Finch-Saunders. Gwnaeth Vikki Howells, o'ch meinciau chi eich hun, bwynt tebyg yr wythnos diwethaf o safbwynt Cymoedd y De. Yn y cyfamser, mae'n ymddangos bod ailddechrau carthu Gwastadeddau Gwlad yr Haf wedi bod o gymorth yn yr ardal honno. O'i gyplysu â rheoliadau sy'n annog plannu coed ar yr ucheldir, oni allai mwy o garthu liniaru perygl llifogydd yn y dyfodol? Gan ein bod ni wedi gadael yr UE erbyn hyn, oni ddylem ni ddatblygu ein harferion a'n fframweithiau cartref ar gyfer carthu ac amddiffyn rhag llifogydd? Ac a ydych chi'n cytuno y dylai'r rhain annog plannu coed ar yr ucheldir a'i gwneud yn haws ymgymryd â gwaith carthu priodol?
