English: Diolch, Simon Thomas, for welcoming the statement and for your questions. You're quite right, it is a matter of public health as well as animal welfare. I think we all share that aim of Wales being TB free. That's why, because of that plateau - we knew that was coming - it was really important that we refreshed the TB programme. In relation to your specific question, you're quite right, I did forget to answer Paul Davies's questions around monitoring. So, you'll be aware that, in relation to the trapping of badgers, that is only on those chronic herd breakdowns. I mentioned there are between 50 and 60, so those actions plans are being drawn up at the current time. I have asked for those action plans to be monitored. I mentioned the vet, and obviously the Animal and Plant Health Agency. I would like to report probably annually as to how this is progressing. So, it's going to take a year before, really, I'm able to report in a substantive way that would be beneficial. In relation to the informed purchasing scheme you also mentioned, as did Paul Davies, as I say, we absolutely intend to introduce a mandatory informed purchasing scheme. And the reason we're doing that is because it has made a significant contribution to TB eradication in both Australia and New Zealand and I was very fortunate to talk to somebody from New Zealand about this. You're quite right, we won't be reporting which farms are having the bespoke action plans because, obviously, there is a security question, but as I say, I will be reporting, certainly - my intention is annually. In relation to the compensation cap, I am committed to paying a reasonable compensation sum for cattle slaughter because of TB, but it is getting more imperative that we do look at what funding we can save, because you're quite right, we do not know where that funding is. So, certainly, my intention would be to continue to fund at the level we are, but you will appreciate that budgets are done on an annual basis and we'll have to look at that. But it isn't about saving money, it is about eradicating TB, and I am concerned that overvaluation does increase the cost to the taxpayer, and I really want to avoid that. And when you compare our average compensation payments, they are 60 per cent higher when you compare them to England, which I don't think is acceptable. You mentioned about otters and beavers: I, too, heard over the summer recess that they were looking to introduce beavers in Wales, but the last time I checked there hadn't been any applications for licences, but, obviously, this is something that we will have to look at if that, obviously, happens. And I mentioned that the dead badger survey will now include other species, and I would encourage all Members to make sure that that phone number - which I haven't got to hand; it's in here somewhere - is available to everyone, and that if they do find a dead badger, they report it. I too hope that this will bring forward significant improvement, particularly in those chronic heard breakdowns, which, as I say, some of them - or one of them, has been in breakdown since 2001. It's completely unacceptable at so many different levels, and I am very pleased with the way the sector has worked with us to develop the refresh of the eradication programme.
Welsh: Diolch, Simon Thomas, am groesawu'r datganiad ac am eich cwestiynau. Rydych chi'n iawn, mae'n fater o iechyd y cyhoedd yn ogystal â lles anifeiliaid. Rwy'n credu ein bod ni i gyd yn rhannu'r nod hwnnw o fod yn rhydd rhag TB. Dyna pam, oherwydd y sefydlogi hynny - roeddem ni'n gwybod ei fod ar y ffordd - roedd yn bwysig iawn ein bod yn adnewyddu'r rhaglen TB. O ran eich cwestiwn penodol, rydych chi'n iawn, mi wnes i anghofio ateb cwestiynau Paul Davies ynghylch monitro. Felly, byddwch chi'n ymwybodol, mewn cysylltiad â dal moch daear, bod hynny ond yn digwydd yn yr achosion hynny o fuchesau sydd ag achos cronig o TB. Soniais fod rhwng 50 a 60 buches o'r fath, felly mae'r cynlluniau gweithredu hynny yn cael eu llunio ar hyn o bryd. Rwyf i wedi gofyn i'r cynlluniau gweithredu hynny gael eu monitro. Soniais am y milfeddyg, ac yn amlwg yr Asiantaeth Iechyd Anifeiliaid a Phlanhigion. Fe hoffwn i adrodd yn flynyddol, yn ôl pob tebyg, ynglŷn â sut y mae hyn yn datblygu. Felly, bydd blwyddyn yn mynd heibio, mewn gwirionedd, cyn imi allu adrodd mewn modd sylweddol a fyddai'n fuddiol. O ran y cynllun prynu ar sail gwybodaeth a grybwyllwyd gennych chi hefyd, a chan Paul Davies, fel yr wyf i wedi'i ddweud, rydym ni'n bwriadu cyflwyno cynllun prynu gorfodol ar sail gwybodaeth. A'r rheswm yr ydym ni'n gwneud hynny yw oherwydd ei fod wedi cyfrannu'n sylweddol at ddileu TB yn Awstralia a Seland Newydd ac roeddwn i'n ffodus iawn i siarad â rhywun o Seland Newydd ynglŷn â hyn. Rydych chi'n iawn, ni fyddwn yn adrodd pa ffermydd sydd â'r cynlluniau gweithredu pwrpasol oherwydd, yn amlwg, mae mater o ddiogelwch yn ei gylch, ond fel yr wyf wedi'i ddweud, byddaf i'n adrodd, yn sicr - fy mwriad yw gwneud hynny yn flynyddol. O ran y terfyn uchaf ar yr iawndal, rwyf wedi ymrwymo i dalu swm iawndal rhesymol ar gyfer lladd gwartheg oherwydd TB, ond mae'n fwy hanfodol erbyn hyn ein bod ni'n edrych ar ba arian y gallwn ni ei arbed, oherwydd rydych chi'n iawn, nid ydym ni'n gwybod ble mae'r arian hwnnw. Felly, yn sicr, fy mwriad i fyddai parhau i ariannu ar y lefel yr ydym ni ar hyn o bryd, ond rydych chi'n sylweddoli bod cyllidebau'n cael eu llunio yn flynyddol a bydd yn rhaid i ni ystyried hynny. Ond nid yw'n ymwneud ag arbed arian, mae'n ymwneud â dileu TB, ac rwy'n pryderu bod gorbrisio yn cynyddu'r gost i'r trethdalwr, ac rwyf wir yn dymuno osgoi hynny. Ac wrth gymharu ein taliadau iawndal cyfartalog, maen nhw 60 y cant yn uwch o'u cymharu â Lloegr, ac nid wyf i'n credu bod hynny'n dderbyniol. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am ddyfrgwn ac afancod: fe glywais i hefyd dros doriad yr haf eu bod yn ystyried cyflwyno afancod yng Nghymru, ond y tro diwethaf i mi wirio, ni fu unrhyw geisiadau am drwyddedau, ond, yn amlwg, mae hyn yn rhywbeth y bydd yn rhaid i ni ei ystyried, yn amlwg, os yw hynny yn digwydd. A soniais y bydd yr arolwg o foch daear marw yn cynnwys rhywogaethau eraill bellach, a byddwn i'n annog yr holl Aelodau i wneud yn siŵr bod y rhif ffôn hwnnw - nid yw ef gen i wrth law; mae yma rhywle - ar gael i bawb, ac os byddan nhw'n dod o hyd i fochyn daear marw, eu bod yn rhoi gwybod amdano. Rwyf i hefyd yn gobeithio y bydd hyn yn arwain at welliant sylweddol, yn arbennig yn yr achosion hynny o fuchesi ag achosion cronig, sydd, fel yr wyf wedi'i ddweud, mae rhai ohonyn nhw - neu un ohonyn nhw, wedi bod yn y cyflwr hwnnw ers 2001. Mae'n gwbl annerbyniol ar gynifer o wahanol lefelau, ac rwy'n falch iawn o'r ffordd y mae'r sector wedi gweithio gyda ni i ddatblygu rhaglen ddileu ddiwygiedig.
