English: Yes, I would entirely agree with you. There was a good report from the auditor on public services boards, and they're relatively new. They are taken into account in the regional working group that the WLGA has, which I mentioned in response to an earlier question. The WLGA is doing some good work alongside its colleagues in health around how we can spread good practice across the public services boards, how we can reduce duplication where there is some with regional partnership boards, and how those two mechanisms can work more effectively together alongside other regional arrangements. It's a piece of work that I hope will be made public towards Christmas of this year, as we come to a conclusion with the WLGA. But we have been working along the lines suggested in that report for quite some time, and I do agree with Mark Isherwood that there is a dual question there. It's not just about people management - I don't disagree at all with what he said about appraisal systems - it's also about strategic thinking and leadership arrangements that are put in place for those boards. And so, I think this is a good tool in the armoury, if you like, of the improvement of the public services boards, but it is worth remembering that they haven't been there for all that long, and they are still bedding in. We have seen, as the report says, some very good practice across Wales, and it is just a question of how we spread that out. The Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services and the Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government jointly attended a conference, or an all-day engagement exercise anyway, on the way that public services boards and regional partnership boards work together. And there were some good learning and outcomes from that that we're taking forward as well.
Welsh: Buaswn yn cytuno'n llwyr â chi. Cafwyd adroddiad da gan yr archwilydd ar fyrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, ac maent yn gymharol newydd. Fe'u hystyrir yn y gweithgor rhanbarthol sydd gan Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru a grybwyllais wrth ymateb i gwestiwn cynharach. Mae'r gymdeithas yn gwneud gwaith da gyda'i chydweithwyr ym maes iechyd o ran sut y gallwn ledaenu arfer da ar draws y byrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, sut y gallwn leihau dyblygu lle mae i'w weld yn digwydd gyda byrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol, a sut y gall y ddau fecanwaith weithio'n fwy effeithiol ochr yn ochr â threfniadau rhanbarthol eraill. Mae'n waith y gobeithiaf y bydd yn cael ei wneud yn gyhoeddus tuag at y Nadolig eleni, wrth i ni gwblhau'r gwaith gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru. Ond rydym wedi bod yn gweithio ar hyd y llinellau a awgrymwyd yn yr adroddiad hwnnw ers cryn amser, ac rwy'n cytuno â Mark Isherwood fod cwestiwn deuol yno. Nid yw'n ymwneud yn unig â rheoli pobl - nid wyf yn anghytuno o gwbl â'r hyn a ddywedodd am systemau arfarnu - mae hefyd yn ymwneud â meddwl strategol a threfniadau arweinyddiaeth a roddir ar waith ar gyfer y byrddau hynny. Ac felly, rwy'n credu bod hwn yn arf da yn yr arfogaeth, os mynnwch, ar gyfer gwella'r byrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, ond mae'n werth cofio nad ydynt wedi bod yno ers cymaint â hynny o amser, ac maent yn dal i ymsefydlu. Fel y dywed yr adroddiad, gwelsom rai arferion da iawn ledled Cymru, a mater o sut y lledaenwn hynny yn unig ydyw. Mynychodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a'r Dirprwy Weinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol gynhadledd, neu ymarfer ymgysylltu undydd beth bynnag, ar y ffordd y mae byrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus a byrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd. A chafwyd gwersi a chanlyniadau da a ddatblygir gennym o hynny hefyd.
