English: We will now move to the short debate. This afternoon's short debate will be presented by Peter Fox, and he will make a start once Members have left the Chamber quietly - please do so quietly if you are leaving. Short debate - Peter Fox.
Welsh: Fe fyddwn ni nawr yn symud ymlaen at y ddadl fer. Mae'r ddadl fer y prynhawn yma gan Peter Fox, ac fe gaiff e gychwyn pan fydd Aelodau wedi gadael y Siambr yn dawel, os ydych chi yn gadael. Felly'r ddadl fer gan Peter Fox.
English: Can I thank Peter Fox for using his debate time on this really important issue today? The cross-party group on medical research is currently doing a piece of work, leading an inquiry into the benefits of medical research in Wales. And perhaps I should declare an interest as the chair of that cross-party group. Research-active hospitals have really improved outcomes for patients, whilst many clinicians also view research as an important part of their job. The opportunity, I think, for NHS staff to undertake medical research is an excellent means by which to make a career in the health and social care system more attractive. And surely, with some of the issues that we've heard about and which Peter has explored in his contribution today, with the retention and recruitment issues that we're aware of, how particularly important this particular aspect is. I think Welsh Government investment into medical research can only work as a medium to long-term solution to the staffing crisis within the Welsh NHS, offering a really attractive environment to attract more expertise to those critical positions within our health and social care system.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Peter Fox am ddefnyddio ei amser dadl ar y mater pwysig hwn heddiw? Mae'r grŵp trawsbleidiol ar ymchwil feddygol yn gwneud gwaith ar hyn o bryd yn arwain ymchwiliad i fanteision ymchwil feddygol yng Nghymru. Ac efallai y dylwn ddatgan diddordeb fel cadeirydd y grŵp trawsbleidiol hwnnw. Mae ysbytai sy'n weithredol ym maes ymchwil wedi gwella canlyniadau i gleifion, ac mae llawer o glinigwyr hefyd yn ystyried ymchwil yn rhan bwysig o'u swydd. Rwy'n credu bod y cyfle i staff y GIG ymgymryd ag ymchwil feddygol yn ffordd wych o wneud gyrfa yn y system iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yn fwy deniadol. Ac yn sicr, gyda rhai o'r problemau y clywsom amdanynt ac a archwiliodd Peter yn ei gyfraniad heddiw, gyda'r problemau cadw a recriwtio staff y gwyddom amdanynt, mae'r elfen arbennig hon yn bwysig iawn. Rwy'n credu mai dim ond fel ateb tymor canolig i hirdymor i'r argyfwng staffio yn GIG Cymru y gall buddsoddiad Llywodraeth Cymru mewn ymchwil feddygol weithio, gan gynnig amgylchedd gwirioneddol ddeniadol i ddenu mwy o arbenigedd i swyddi hanfodol yn ein system iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol.
English: I'd like to thank Peter Fox for raising this important issue in his short debate today. I'm currently undertaking a programme of care home visits in my constituency, because I want to see for myself what some of the issues are locally in my patch and, indeed, the case across Wales. The emerging theme is that a lot of care homes can't meet their capacity because they're understaffed. They might have a capacity of 40 or 50 beds, but they can only operate 25 or 30 because of that lack of staff. I think we need to make the social care career more attractive to prospective candidates, and increase training opportunities. I'm pleased to see the uplift in the real living wage, but we need to give them the right training opportunities, and stop social care workers hitting the glass ceiling if they aspire to progress in their careers to address some of these problems and give people the care and treatment they so rightly deserve. Thank you very much.
Welsh: Hoffwn ddiolch i Peter Fox am godi'r mater pwysig hwn yn ei ddadl fer heddiw. Rwy'n cynnal rhaglen o ymweliadau â chartrefi gofal yn fy etholaeth ar hyn o bryd, gan fy mod eisiau gweld drosof fy hun beth yw rhai o'r problemau'n lleol yn fy rhan i o'r byd, a ledled Cymru yn wir. Y thema sy'n dod i'r amlwg yw bod llawer o gartrefi gofal yn methu cyrraedd eu capasiti oherwydd eu bod yn brin o staff. Efallai fod ganddynt gapasiti o 40 neu 50 o welyau, ond dim ond 25 neu 30 y gallant eu gweithredu oherwydd prinder staff. Rwy'n credu bod angen inni wneud gyrfa mewn gofal cymdeithasol yn fwy deniadol i ddarpar ymgeiswyr, a chynyddu cyfleoedd hyfforddi. Rwy'n falch o weld y codiad yn y cyflog byw go iawn, ond mae angen inni roi'r cyfleoedd hyfforddi cywir iddynt, ac atal gweithwyr gofal cymdeithasol rhag taro'r nenfwd gwydr os ydynt yn dyheu am gamu ymlaen yn eu gyrfaoedd i fynd i'r afael â rhai o'r problemau hyn a rhoi'r gofal a'r driniaeth y maent yn ei haeddu i bobl. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: I am very grateful to the Member for Monmouth for choosing this particular topic. It was a genuinely thoughtful and well-reasoned contribution. I'm sure that he himself would admit that these aren't entirely new ideas that he's mentioned. We do need to bring these ideas together in this way to the Senedd, because we do need to innovate in these ways to solve some of the issues that we're facing in the health service, because it's perfectly clear to all of us that we can't continue as we currently are. I want to talk about one issue, the final point that was raised by Peter, namely the need to focus so much more on the preventative agenda. There are individual initiatives on the preventative agenda already happening, of course. We heard some in the debate on liver disease earlier on today. But I'm talking here about a change of culture. Yes, we need to change the culture within the population - the Minister referred to that yesterday - but the Government needs to lead that cultural change in everything that they do, across all parts of Government work, to make it the major ambition to make us a healthier nation, because we're not fit and healthy at the moment.
Welsh: Dwi innau'n ddiolchgar i Aelod Mynwy am ddewis y testun yma. Mi oedd o'n gyfraniad gwirioneddol feddylgar, dwi'n credu. Dwi'n siŵr y byddai fo ei hun yn cyfaddef nad ydy'r rhain yn syniadau cwbl newydd mae o wedi'u crybwyll. Mae angen dod â'r syniadau o'r math yma at ei gilydd yn y ffordd yma i'r Senedd, achos mae angen arloesi yn y ffyrdd yma er mwyn datrys rhai o'r problemau sydd gennym ni yn y gwasanaeth iechyd, achos mae hi'n berffaith glir i bob un ohonom ni na allwn ni gario ymlaen fel yr ydym ni. Dwi am sôn am un mater, y pwynt olaf a godwyd gan Peter, sef yr angen i ganolbwyntio gymaint mwy ar yr ataliol. Mae yna fentrau unigol ar yr ataliol, wrth gwrs, yn digwydd. Mi glywon ni rhai yn y ddadl ar glefyd yr iau yn gynharach heddiw. Ond sôn ydw i am newid diwylliant. Oes, mae angen newid diwylliant o fewn y boblogaeth - mi wnaeth y Gweinidog gyfeirio at hynny ddoe - ond mae'n rhaid i'r Llywodraeth arwain y newid diwylliant hwnnw ym mhopeth maen nhw'n ei wneud, ar draws bob rhan o waith y Llywodraeth, i'w wneud o'n brif uchelgais i'n gwneud ni'n genedl iachach, achos dydyn ni ddim yn ffit ac iach ar hyn o bryd.
English: I call on the Deputy Minister for Social Services to reply to the debate. Julie Morgan.
Welsh: Galwaf ar y Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol i ymateb i'r ddadl. Julie Morgan.
English: Thank you. I welcome the opportunity to respond to this debate.
Welsh: Diolch. Rydw i'n croesawu'r cyfle i ymateb i'r ddadl hon.
English: Thank you, Deputy Minister, and thank you, all. That brings today's proceedings to a close.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Dirprwy Weinidog a diolch, pawb. Daw hynny â busnes heddiw i ben.
English: Welcome everyone to this meeting of the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee at the Welsh Parliament, Senedd Cymru. Welcome, Members, to this meeting. We've received apologies from Delyth Jewell, and we welcome Heledd Fychan, who will be substituting on her behalf today. Aside from the adaptations relating to conducting proceedings in a hybrid format, all other requirements in terms of the Standing Orders remain in place. Public items of this meeting are of course, being broadcast live on Senedd.tv, and the Record of Proceedings will be published as is customary. This is a bilingual meeting, so there is simultaneous translation available from Welsh to English. If a fire alarm should sound, then everyone does need to leave the room by the marked fire exits and follow instructions from the ushers and the staff. May I also ask everyone to ensure that any mobile devices are switched to silent mode please? And may I ask if any Members have any declarations of interest to make before we start? I see that there are none. Okay, thank you very much.
Welsh: Croeso i bawb i gyfarfod Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, yr Amgylchedd a Seilwaith Senedd Cymru. Croeso i Aelodau i'r cyfarfod. Rŷn ni wedi derbyn ymddiheuriadau gan Delyth Jewell, ac yn croesawu Heledd Fychan sydd yma yn dirprwyo ar ei rhan hi. Ar wahân i addasiadau sy'n ymwneud â chynnal y trafodion ar ffurf hybrid, mae'r holl ofynion eraill o ran y rheolau sefydlog yn parhau. Mae eitemau cyhoeddus y cyfarfod hwn wrth gwrs yn cael eu darlledu yn fyw ar Senedd.tv, ac mi fydd Cofnod y Trafodion yn cael ei gyhoeddi, fel sydd fel arfer yn digwydd. Mae'n gyfarfod dwyieithog, felly mae yna gyfieithu ar y pryd ar gael o'r Gymraeg i'r Saesneg. Os bydd larwm tân yn canu, yna mae angen i bawb adael yr ystafell drwy'r allanfeydd tân a dilyn y cyfarwyddiadau gan y tywyswyr a'r staff. Gaf i hefyd ofyn i bawb sicrhau bod unrhyw ddyfeisiadau symudol wedi eu distewi? Ac a gaf i ofyn a oes gan unrhyw un unrhyw fuddiannau i'w datgan cyn inni gychwyn? Na, dyna ni. Ocê, diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: So, we'll go on to the second item on the agenda today, and in today's meeting we will be hearing evidence from a number of stakeholders to inform the committee's work on the Welsh Government electric vehicle charging strategy and action plan. At the end of the autumn term, of course, we held a targeted consultation to further inform this work, and we received 16 written responses, and those, of course, can be found on the Senedd's website. We will be hearing from three panels of witnesses today, and we start with the panel in front of us now in the room and on the screen joining us virtually. So, I'll welcome Dr Paul Bevan from the Electric Vehicle Association Cymru; Professor Liana Cipcigan from the Electric Vehicle Centre of Excellence at Cardiff University; Olly Craughan, joining us in the room, UK head of sustainability with DPD Group; and David Wong, senior innovation and technology manager with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders EV group. A very warm welcome to the four of you. We have around an hour and a quarter to hear your evidence, so I'm sure we will cover a great deal of ground in that session. We'll start our questions by turning to Janet Finch-Saunders.
Welsh: Mi awn ni ymlaen at yr ail eitem ar yr agenda, felly, ac yn y cyfarfod heddiw rŷn ni yn clywed tystiolaeth gan nifer o randdeiliaid er mwyn llywio'r gwaith rŷn ni fel pwyllgor yn mynd i'w wneud ar strategaeth a chynllun gweithredu Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer gwefru cerbydau trydan. Ar ddiwedd tymor yr hydref, wrth gwrs, fe wnaethon ni gynnal ymgynghoriad wedi'i dargedu er mwyn llywio ychydig ar y gwaith yma. Mi gawsom ni 16 o ymatebion ysgrifenedig, ac mae'r rheini, wrth gwrs, ar gael i'w gweld ar wefan y Senedd. Rŷn ni'n clywed gan dri phanel o dystion y bore yma, a dŷn ni'n cychwyn efo'r panel sydd gyda ni o'n blaenau ni fan hyn yn yr ystafell ac ar y sgrîn yn ymuno â ni yn rhithiol. Felly, fe wnaf i groesawu Dr Paul Bevan, o Gymdeithas Cerbydau Trydan Cymru; yr Athro Liana Cipcigan, o Ganolfan Ragoriaeth Cerbydau Trydan, Prifysgol Caerdydd; Olly Craughan, sydd gyda ni fan hyn yn yr ystafell, pennaeth cynaliadwyedd y Deyrnas Unedig gyda DPD Group; a David Wong, uwch-reolwr arloesedd a thechnoleg gyda grŵp cerbydau trydan Cymdeithas y Cynhyrchwyr a Masnachwyr Moduron. Croeso i'r pedwar ohonoch chi. Mae gennym ni ryw awr a chwarter i dderbyn tystiolaeth, felly dwi'n siŵr y byddwn ni'n llwyddo i gyfro tipyn o dir yn ystod y cyfnod yna. Mi gychwynwn ni gwestiynau drwy droi at Janet Finch-Saunders.
English: Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you very much to all of you as witnesses. You've already spoken in great detail about the provision of infrastructure. I just wanted to focus my questions to EVA Cymru specifically, particularly in looking at your evidence in that regard. Perhaps you could expand on the points that you've made with regard to investment by local authorities sometimes being inconsistent. And also, the lack of community engagement on a wide-ranging basis, could you give us a bit more information about that and what could change in that direction?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Gadeirydd, a diolch ichi i gyd fel tystion. Dŷch chi eisoes wedi siarad yn eithaf helaeth ynglŷn â darparu seilwaith. Roeddwn i jest efallai eisiau canolbwyntio fy nghwestiynau i EVA Cymru yn benodol, yn enwedig o edrych ar eich tystiolaeth chi i ni. A fyddech chi, efallai, yn gallu ehangu ar y pwyntiau dŷch chi wedi eu rhoi ynglŷn â bod buddsoddiad awdurdodau lleol yn gallu bod yn ysbeidiol ac yn anwastad? A hefyd, ar y pwynt o ran diffyg ymgysylltu cymunedol eang, a fyddech chi efallai yn gallu rhoi bach mwy o wybodaeth am hynny a meddwl beth allai fod yn newid?
English: Welcome back to this meeting of the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee. We're moving on to the next item on the agenda, which is to hear further evidence on electric vehicle charging. Councillor Andrew Morgan, who is leader of the Welsh Local Government Association and leader, of course, of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, has sent his apologies. He's had to return to his council area because of the weather conditions. We have, of course, accepted his apologies this morning. But joining us in the room this morning we have Geoff Ogden, who is chief transport planning and development officer with Transport for Wales, and Roisin Willmott, who's director of Wales and Northern Ireland and Planning Aid England at the Royal Town Planning Institute. A very warm welcome to you. We'll go straight to questions.
Welsh: Croeso nôl i'r Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, Amgylchedd a Seilwaith. Rŷn ni'n symud at yr eitem nesaf ar ein hagenda, sef i dderbyn tystiolaeth bellach ar wefru cerbydau trydan. Mae'r Cynghorydd Andrew Morgan, sy'n arweinydd Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru ac, wrth gwrs, arweinydd Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Rhondda Cynon Taf, yn ymddiheuro. Mae e wedi gorfod dychwelyd i'w gyngor oherwydd amgylchiadau'r tywydd, ac felly fydd e ddim gyda ni'r bore yma, ond ŷn ni'n derbyn ei ymddiheuriad e, wrth gwrs. Ond, yn ymuno â ni fan hyn yn yr ystafell mae Geoff Ogden, sy'n brif swyddog cynllunio trafnidiaeth a datblygu gyda Trafnidiaeth Cymru, a Roisin Willmott, cyfarwyddwr Cymru a Gogledd Iwerddon a Planning Aid England, y Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol. Croeso i chi. Gwnawn ni symud yn syth i gwestiynau.
English: Okay, there we are. Right. Thank you very much. May I thank the three of your for your evidence? We have had a great deal to chew over as a result of these three sessions today, so thank you very much. You will receive a copy of the transcript to check for accuracy. But, with those few words, may I thank the three of you for your attendance?
Welsh: Ocê, dyna ni. Iawn. Diolch yn fawr iawn. A gaf i ddiolch i'r tri ohonoch chi am eich tystiolaeth? Rŷn ni wedi cael lot i gnoi cil arno fe o'r tri sesiwn y bore yma, felly diolch yn fawr iawn. Mi fyddwch chi'n cael copi drafft o'r transgript i siecio bod yr hyn rŷch chi wedi'i ddweud yn gywir. Ond gyda hynny, a gaf i ddiolch i'r tri ohonoch chi am eich presenoldeb?
English: We'll continue with the meeting now, and we have papers to note. So, may I ask Members whether they're content to note those papers? Yes.
Welsh: Mi gariwn ni ymlaen nawr gyda'r cyfarfod, ac mae yna bapurau i'w nodi, papers to note. Felly, gaf i ofyn a ydych chi'n hapus i nodi'r papurau? Ie.
English: So, we'll move into private session and, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42 (vi) and (ix), I propose that the committee resolves to exclude the public for the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content? I see that Members are content. There we are. We'll wait a second until we're in private session.
Welsh: Felly, fe wnawn ni symud i sesiwn breifat, ac fe wnaf i, yn unol â Rheolau Sefydlog 17.42 (vi) a (ix), gynnig bod y pwyllgor yn penderfynu cwrdd yn breifat am weddill y cyfarfod hwn. Aelodau yn hapus? Ie, hapus. Dyna ni. Fe wnawn ni aros am eiliad tan ein bod ni mewn sesiwn breifat.
English: Good morning. Welcome, everyone, to this meeting of the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee. Hefin David has sent his apologies, and Jack Sargeant is present as a substitute. A warm welcome to you, Jack; we're looking forward to having you here today. Are there any declarations of interest that Members would like to make at all? Sam Kurtz.
Welsh: Bore da. Croeso, bawb, i'r cyfarfod hwn o Bwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach, a Materion Gwledig. Mae Hefin David wedi ymddiheuro, ac mae Jack Sargeant yn bresennol yn ei le. Croeso cynnes i chi, Jack, ac rŷn ni'n edrych ymlaen i gael eich cwmni chi heddiw. A oes yna unrhyw fuddiannau hoffai Aelodau eu datgan o gwbl? Sam Kurtz.
English: We will move on, therefore, to item 2, which is papers to note. There are a number of papers to note, but you'll be pleased to hear that I won't be going through each and every one of them, but are there any issues that Members would like to raise from the papers to note? No.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen, felly, i eitem 2, sef papurau i'w nodi. Mae yna nifer o bapurau i'w nodi, ond byddwch yn falch o glywed dwi ddim yn mynd i fynd trwyddyn nhw i gyd, ond oes yna unrhyw faterion hoffai Aelodau eu codi o gwbl o'r papurau yma? Nac oes.
English: We will move on, therefore, to item 3, and today the committee will be holding two scrutiny sessions on the Welsh Government's draft budget for 2023-24, and this is a session with the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd. So, a warm welcome to the Minister, and may I thank her for the paper that she has sent us as a committee beforehand? Before we move to questions, perhaps I could ask the Minister to introduce herself and her team for the record. Minister.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen, felly, i eitem 3, a heddiw bydd y pwyllgor yn cynnal dwy sesiwn i graffu ar gyllideb ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24. Sesiwn gyda'r Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru a'r Trefnydd fydd y sesiwn gyntaf. Felly, croeso cynnes i'r Gweinidog, ac a gaf i ddiolch iddi am y papur mae hi wedi ei anfon inni fel pwyllgor ymlaen llaw? Cyn ein bod ni yn symud yn syth i gwestiynau, efallai gallaf ofyn i'r Gweinidog i gyflwyno'i hunan a'i thîm i'r record. Gweinidog.
English: Welcome back to the meeting of the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee. We'll move on now to item 4 on our agenda, and a session with the Minister for Economy will be the second session to scrutinise the Welsh Government's draft budget for 2023-24. May I welcome the Minister to this session? And may I thank him for the paper that he has provided to the committee beforehand? Before we move straight to questions, may I ask the Minister and his officials to introduce themselves for the record? Minister.
Welsh: Croeso nôl i gyfarfod o Bwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig. Fe symudwn ni ymlaen nawr i eitem 4 ar ein hagenda, a sesiwn gyda Gweinidog yr Economi fydd yr ail sesiwn a gynhelir i graffu ar gyllideb ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24. A gaf i groesawu'r Gweinidog i'r sesiwn yma? A gaf i ddiolch iddo fe am y papur y mae e wedi'i ddanfon i'r pwyllgor ymlaen llaw? Cyn ein bod ni yn symud yn syth i gwestiynau, a gaf i ofyn i'r Gweinidog a'i swyddogion i gyflwyno'u hunain i'r record? Gweinidog.
English: We'll move on, therefore, to item 5 on our agenda, namely considering the revised legislative consent memorandum and the supplementary LCM on the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill. The reporting deadline for this is 16 February. As a committee, we'll be discussing this further in private session today and responding in due course, but are there any Members who would like to comment for the public record? No.
Welsh: Symudwn ni ymlaen, felly, i eitem 5 ar ein hagenda, sef ystyried y memwrandwm cydsyniad deddfwriaethol diwygiedig a'r memorandwm cydsyniad deddfwriaethol atodol ar y Bil Ffyniant Bro ac Adfywio. Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer cyflwyno adroddiad ar y memorandwm diwygiedig a'r memorandwm atodol yw 16 Chwefror. Byddwn ni fel pwyllgor yn trafod y mater ymhellach mewn sesiwn breifat heddiw ac yn ymateb maes o law, ond a yw Aelodau eisiau gwneud unrhyw sylwadau i'r cofnod cyhoeddus o gwbl? Nac ydynt.
English: We'll move on, therefore, to item 6, which is the LCM on the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill. The memorandum relates to a Bill introduced to the UK Parliament in May of last year, however it was not laid before the Senedd until 8 December last year. It's been referred to this committee with a reporting deadline of 16 January. Because of the timetable, it's been impossible to have any meaningful scrutiny of the legislative and policy implications of the Bill for Wales. We will be discussing our response to this memorandum in private session today, but does anyone want to comment for the public record? No.
Welsh: Felly, symudwn ni ymlaen i eitem 6, sef y memorandwm cydsyniad deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Technoleg Enetig (Bridio Manwl). Mae'r memorandwm yn ymwneud â Bil a gyflwynwyd gerbron Senedd y Deyrnas Unedig ym mis Mai y llynedd, ond ni chafodd ei osod gerbron Senedd Cymru tan 8 Rhagfyr y llynedd. Fe'i cyfeiriwyd at y pwyllgor hwn, gan nodi 16 Ionawr fel y dyddiad cau ar gyfer cyflwyno adroddiad. Oherwydd yr amserlen, mae wedi bod yn amhosib cynnal unrhyw waith craffu ystyrlon ar oblygiadau deddfwriaethol y Bil i Gymru, na'i oblygiadau o ran polisi. Nawr, byddwn ni yn trafod ymateb i'r memorandwm hwn mewn sesiwn breifat heddiw, ond a oes unrhyw un eisiau gwneud unrhyw sylwadau i'r cofnod cyhoeddus o gwbl? Nac oes.
English: So, we'll move on to item 7 and I propose, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42, that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content? Yes, I see that Members are content, so the motion is agreed and we'll move into private session.
Welsh: Felly, symudwn ni ymlaen i eitem 7, a dwi'n cynnig, yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.42, fod y pwyllgor yn penderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd ar gyfer yr eitemau sy'n weddill. A yw Aelodau'n fodlon â hynny? Ydynt, dwi'n gweld bod Aelodau'n fodlon, felly derbyniwyd y cynnig a symudwn ni i'n sesiwn breifat ni.
English: I will be speaking in Welsh; I didn't use the interpretation earlier. It's also important that we note that during COVID, normal services had a period where they weren't necessarily being provided, so we were focused on the COVID crisis. Now, we have a cost-of-living crisis on top of all the other crises hitting society, as well as the financial crisis that we as an authority are facing. But planning expectations continue, and public protection and all the other requirements placed upon us as an authority remain, and we can't cope with all of these crises as well as business as usual and public expectation on local authorities. And much of that, of course, is statutory, for example planning and so on. So, the pressure now is more intense because of that.
Welsh: Dwi'n mynd i siarad yn Gymraeg; wnes i ddim defnyddio'r cyfieithu gynnau. Mae'n bwysig hefyd ein bod ni'n nodi yn y fan yma bod, yn ystod COVID, gwasanaethau arferol wedi cael cyfnod o beidio â pharhau, felly mi oeddem ni'n canolbwyntio ar yr argyfwng COVID. Rŵan, mae gennym ni argyfwng costau byw ar ben yr argyfyngau eraill sydd yn digwydd mewn cymdeithas, a'r argyfwng ariannol rydyn ni'n ei wynebu fel awdurdod. Ond mae ein disgwyliadau cynllunio yn parhau, disgwyliadau gwarchod y cyhoedd yn parhau, a'r holl ddisgwyliadau eraill sydd arnom ni fel awdurdod. Felly, dydyn ni ddim yn gallu ymdopi â'r holl argyfyngau a pharhad busnes arferol, a disgwyliadau'r cyhoedd ar yr awdurdodau. Mae nifer o'r amserlenni hynny yn statudol, megis cais cynllunio, ac yn y blaen. Felly, mae'r pwysau rŵan yn fwy intense oherwydd hynny.
