English: Well, I've had the opportunity to discuss these issues in depth with the local authority leaders very recently. So, as you've heard, we have now fortnightly meetings with local authority leaders. In last week's meeting, actually, one of the substantive items was budgetary pressures, and they were able to give those figures to me at that meeting. We also had, last week or the week before, a meeting of the finance sub-group, which again delved into those figures in greater detail. Obviously, they are extremely concerning in terms of the pressures that are being faced. So, I'm being told that key areas include pay inflation, energy costs, schools, social care, the response to the situation in Ukraine and wider migration issues, alongside housing, homelessness and, of course, capital investment and the associated investment in climate change - so, lots of important areas there. Some of them aren't statutory, but nonetheless absolutely vital. So, we are having discussions with local authorities to see what we can practically do to support them. One of those things might be to assist them in terms of the prioritisation exercise locally. We're also looking at the grants that we provide to local government. So, £1.2 billion of grants are provided to local government every year, and local government is making the case that perhaps some of those should go into the revenue support grant rather than through particular grants, so I've said that I would broker discussions with whichever relevant Ministers need to be involved in those. And also looking again to see around the capitalisation of some costs - they've asked us to look at that. So, we've returned to local government asking for some more detail on those discussions. So, we are being as helpful as we possibly can be, obviously, to local government at what is a really worrying time for them and for us.
Welsh: Wel, rwyf wedi cael cyfle i drafod y materion hyn yn fanwl gydag arweinwyr awdurdodau lleol yn ddiweddar iawn. Felly, fel rydych wedi'i glywed, rydym bellach yn cael cyfarfodydd gydag arweinwyr awdurdodau lleol bob pythefnos. Yn y cyfarfod yr wythnos diwethaf, mewn gwirionedd, un o'r eitemau mwyaf oedd pwysau cyllidebol, a gwnaethant roi'r ffigurau hynny i mi yn y cyfarfod hwnnw. Cafodd yr is-grŵp cyllid gyfarfod hefyd, yr wythnos diwethaf neu'r wythnos cyn hynny, lle buom yn ymchwilio unwaith eto i'r ffigurau hynny'n fanylach. Yn amlwg, maent yn peri cryn bryder o ran y pwysau a wynebir. Felly, dywedir wrthyf fod y meysydd allweddol yn cynnwys chwyddo cyflogau, costau ynni, ysgolion, gofal cymdeithasol, yr ymateb i'r sefyllfa yn Wcráin a materion ymfudo ehangach, ochr yn ochr â thai, digartrefedd, ac wrth gwrs, buddsoddiad cyfalaf a'r buddsoddiad cysylltiedig yn y newid yn yr hinsawdd - felly, llawer o feysydd pwysig yno. Mae rhai nad ydynt yn statudol, ond serch hynny, maent yn gwbl hanfodol. Felly, rydym yn cael trafodaethau gydag awdurdodau lleol i weld beth y gallwn ei wneud yn ymarferol i'w cefnogi. Efallai mai un o'r pethau hynny fyddai eu cynorthwyo gyda'r ymarfer blaenoriaethu yn lleol. Rydym hefyd yn edrych ar y grantiau a ddarparwn i lywodraeth leol. Felly, caiff £1.2 biliwn o grantiau eu darparu i lywodraeth leol bob blwyddyn, ac mae llywodraeth leol yn dadlau efallai y dylai rhai o'r rheini fynd i'r grant cynnal refeniw yn hytrach na thrwy grantiau penodol, felly rwyf wedi dweud y byddwn yn trefnu trafodaethau â pha bynnag Weinidogion perthnasol sydd angen eu cynnwys. A hefyd, edrych eto ar gyfalafu rhai costau - maent wedi gofyn inni edrych ar hynny. Felly, rydym wedi mynd yn ôl at lywodraeth leol i ofyn am ragor o fanylion ynghylch y trafodaethau hynny. Felly, yn amlwg, rydym yn rhoi cymaint o gymorth ag y gallwn i lywodraeth leol ar adeg sy'n peri cryn bryder iddynt hwy ac i ninnau.
