English: The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 require public bodies, including local government and health boards, to think and act differently, putting collaboration at the heart of how they work. This includes, but extends far beyond, their work on public services boards.
Welsh: Mae Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015 a Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i gyrff cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys llywodraeth leol a byrddau iechyd, feddwl a gweithredu'n wahanol, gan sicrhau bod cydweithredu wrth wraidd y ffordd y maent yn gweithio. Mae hyn yn cynnwys, ond yn ymestyn ymhell y tu hwnt, i'w gwaith ar fyrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus.
English: Thank you. Although Public Health Wales provides specialist public health support to the 22 local authorities in Wales, responsibility for public health in Wales is shared amongst all the NHS bodies, with leadership provided by Public Health Wales. In contrast, in England, the main statutory duties for public health were proffered on local authorities in 2013, with responsibility in local authorities for improving health of the local population and for public health services, including no sexual health services and services aimed at reducing drug and alcohol misuse. I recently had a meeting with executive members and officers of a local authority in Wales, who told me that in England, as a consequence, there'd been a better focus and scrutiny for the same resources. A subsequent report to the launch of this in England by the independent health and social care charity and think tank, King's Fund, said, 'The transfer of public health functions and staffto local authorities has gone, in most cases, remarkably smoothly, with directors of public health confident of better health outcomes in the future and reporting positive experiences of working in local authorities.' Without prejudging this, what consideration or what review role does the Welsh Government have in considering, on a neutral basis, on a non-judgmental basis, what works best in an outcome-related manner and looking at whether the systems across the border are delivering better, as was alleged to me?
Welsh: Diolch. Er bod Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru yn darparu cymorth arbenigol ar iechyd y cyhoedd i'r 22 awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru, mae holl gyrff y GIG yn rhannu'r cyfrifoldeb am iechyd y cyhoedd yng Nghymru, o dan arweinyddiaeth Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru. Mewn cyferbyniad, yn Lloegr, cafodd y prif ddyletswyddau statudol ar gyfer iechyd y cyhoedd eu gosod ar awdurdodau lleol yn 2013, gyda'r awdurdodau lleol yn gyfrifol am wella iechyd y boblogaeth leol ac am wasanaethau iechyd cyhoeddus, heb gynnwys unrhyw wasanaethau iechyd rhywiol na gwasanaethau sy'n ceisio lleihau camddefnydd o alcohol a chyffuriau. Yn ddiweddar, cefais gyfarfod â swyddogion ac aelodau gweithredol awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru a ddywedodd wrthyf fod y ffocws a gwaith craffu yn Lloegr wedi bod yn well am yr un adnoddau o ganlyniad i hynny. Dywedodd adroddiad dilynol ar lansio hyn yn Lloegr gan yr elusen iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol annibynnol a'r felin drafod, y King's Fund, fod, Trosglwyddo swyddogaethau a staff iechyd y cyhoedd i awdurdodau lleol wedi mynd yn rhyfeddol o dda yn y rhan fwyaf o achosion, gyda chyfarwyddwyr iechyd y cyhoedd yn hyderus o ganlyniadau iechyd gwell yn y dyfodol ac yn adrodd am brofiadau cadarnhaol o weithio mewn awdurdodau lleol. Heb farnu ymlaen llaw ar hyn, pa ystyriaeth neu ba rôl adolygu sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru wrth ystyried, ar sail niwtral, ar sail anfeirniadol, beth sy'n gweithio orau mewn modd sy'n gysylltiedig â chanlyniadau ac edrych i weld a yw'r systemau dros y ffin yn cyflawni'n well, fel yr honnwyd wrthyf?
English: Public health is actually in my colleague Vaughan Gething's portfolio and not mine. So, much of what you've just talked about is in Vaughan Gething's portfolio but, in general, we've been using the regional partnership boards to achieve the same result, because it's not just about transferring functions from one part of the public sector to the other; it's about getting the whole public sector to work together in harmony to deliver a set of mutually agreed outcomes and a shared vision. So, it's a relatively new system. We've had some reports done into it. We're about, in the local government Bill, to put a different regional working arrangement in place, which local authorities and health authorities and public health and other public bodies will be able to take advantage of, if they want to, on a not-one-size-fits-all basis. So, if a local authority you're talking to thinks that's a better route, they will have a vehicle to do that. But, at the moment, we've been looking at getting the regional partnership boards to work. It's a relatively new arrangement in Wales. So far, so good. But we are taking account of where they are at the moment, and actually my colleague Vaughan Gething and I are taking an interest in how that works and whether the way that we fund that and the way that we support that might need to change in view of the learning, as we come through the, I think, second year of functioning.
Welsh: Mewn gwirionedd, mae iechyd y cyhoedd ym mhortffolio fy nghyd-Aelod, Vaughan Gething, nid fy un i. Felly, mae llawer o'r hyn rydych newydd sôn amdano ym mhortffolio Vaughan Gething, ond yn gyffredinol, rydym wedi bod yn defnyddio'r byrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol i gyflawni'r un canlyniad, gan fod a wnelo hyn â mwy na throsglwyddo swyddogaethau o un rhan o'r sector cyhoeddus i'r llall; mae'n ymwneud â sicrhau bod y sector cyhoeddus cyfan yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd yn gytûn i gyflawni set o ganlyniadau y cytunwyd arnynt ar y cyd a gweledigaeth a rennir. Felly, mae'n system gymharol newydd. Rydym wedi cael adroddiadau wedi'u gwneud arni. Yn y Bil llywodraeth leol, rydym ar fin rhoi trefniant gweithio rhanbarthol gwahanol ar waith, y gall awdurdodau lleol ac awdurdodau iechyd ac iechyd y cyhoedd a chyrff cyhoeddus eraill fanteisio arno os ydynt am wneud hynny, ar y sail na cheir un ateb sy'n addas i bawb. Felly, os oes awdurdod lleol rydych yn siarad ag ef o'r farn fod hwnnw'n llwybr gwell, bydd ganddynt ffordd o wneud hynny. Ond ar hyn o bryd, rydym wedi bod yn edrych ar sicrhau bod y byrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol yn gweithio. Mae'n drefniant cymharol newydd yng Nghymru. Mae'n gweithio'n dda hyd yn hyn. Ond rydym yn ystyried eu sefyllfa ar hyn o bryd, ac mewn gwirionedd, mae gan fy nghyd-Aelod, Vaughan Gething, a minnau ddiddordeb yn y ffordd y mae hynny'n gweithio ac a fydd angen i'r ffordd rydym yn ariannu hynny a'r ffordd rydym yn cefnogi hynny newid yng ngoleuni'r gwersi a ddysgir, a ninnau yn ail flwyddyn ei weithrediad, rwy'n credu.
English: Yes, thank you, Minister. I hear what you say about regional partnership boards, but, just to develop the argument a bit, with the range of what makes people ill in the first place - the so-called determinants of ill health, as you'll be aware - they already fall within the ambit of local government: bad housing and environmental health, education particularly and public transport. They're already under the control of local authorities. So, it would make sense, really, to try and strengthen the public health aspects of local authorities, because they already do a lot of that, to actually move across a fair amount directly to local authorities, rather than to regional partnership boards. I don't know how you think about that.
Welsh: Ie, diolch, Weinidog. Clywaf yr hyn a ddywedwch am fyrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol, ond yn amlwg, er mwyn datblygu'r ddadl ychydig, gyda'r ystod o'r hyn sy'n gwneud pobl yn sâl yn y lle cyntaf - y penderfynyddion afiechyd fel y'u gelwir, fel y gwyddoch - maent eisoes yn rhan o gylch gorchwyl llywodraeth leol: iechyd yr amgylchedd a thai gwael, addysg yn arbennig a thrafnidiaeth gyhoeddus. Maent eisoes o dan reolaeth awdurdodau lleol. Felly, byddai'n gwneud synnwyr i geisio cryfhau agweddau iechyd y cyhoedd awdurdodau lleol, gan eu bod eisoes yn gwneud llawer o hynny, trosglwyddo cryn dipyn o hynny yn uniongyrchol i awdurdodau lleol, yn hytrach nag i fyrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol. Nid wyf yn gwybod sut rydych chi'n teimlo am hynny.
English: We're not actually in the game of moving functions from one to the other. You can make an argument that social care should be in health, or the whole thing should be together in one body or whatever. Generally speaking, I'm a proponent of the view that it's not the structure that matters but the working arrangements and the culture. So, we're going down the regional partnership board route because we want all of the public services to work well together. So, he's absolutely right, but you could also add having a decent job and decent primary healthcare, and all the rest of it, into that. So, the regional partnership boards have the range of public services sitting on them. They have shared budget arrangements, and they have a shared vision and purpose. As I say, we're about to give them a new vehicle if they want to use that. It's not compulsory; they can use it if they want to. We haven't gone for a one-size-fits-all, because the culture is different across Wales, and so, in some places, they will want to have slightly different arrangements. But, together with Vaughan, I have been looking very closely at how the regional partnership boards have been developing, how we fund them and how the partners work together. You'll know that we've recently made housing a statutory member of the board for the very reason that you outlined.
Welsh: Nid ydym yn y gêm o drosglwyddo swyddogaethau o'r naill i'r llall. Gallwch ddadlau y dylai gofal cymdeithasol fod yn rhan o iechyd, neu y dylai'r holl beth fod gyda'i gilydd mewn un corff neu beth bynnag. Yn gyffredinol, rwyf o'r farn nad y strwythur sy'n bwysig, ond y trefniadau gweithio a'r diwylliant. Felly, rydym yn mynd ar lwybr y byrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol am ein bod eisiau i'r holl wasanaethau cyhoeddus weithio'n dda gyda'i gilydd. Felly, mae'n llygad ei le, ond gallech ychwanegu cael swydd dda a gofal iechyd sylfaenol da a phopeth arall at hynny. Felly, mae gan y byrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol yr ystod o wasanaethau cyhoeddus yn rhan ohonynt. Mae ganddynt drefniadau cyllidebol a rennir, ac maent yn rhannu gweledigaeth a diben. Fel y dywedaf, rydym ar fin rhoi cyfrwng newydd iddynt os ydynt am ei ddefnyddio. Nid yw hynny'n orfodol; gallant ei ddefnyddio os ydynt am wneud hynny. Nid ydym wedi mynd am un ateb sy'n addas i bawb, gan fod y diwylliant yn wahanol ledled Cymru, felly mewn rhai lleoedd, byddant am gael trefniadau ychydig yn wahanol. Ond gyda Vaughan, rwyf wedi bod yn edrych yn agos iawn ar sut y mae'r byrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol wedi bod yn datblygu, sut rydym yn eu hariannu a sut y mae'r partneriaid yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd. Fe fyddwch yn gwybod ein bod wedi gwneud tai yn aelod statudol o'r bwrdd yn ddiweddar am yr union reswm a amlinellwyd gennych.
English: We've invested an additional £10 million this year to tackle youth homelessness, including funding specific projects for care leavers. Our focus is on strengthening the arrangements in place to successfully transition young people from care into independent living, with a joint housing and social services group driving forward this work.
Welsh: Rydym wedi buddsoddi £10 miliwn ychwanegol eleni i fynd i'r afael â digartrefedd ymhlith pobl ifanc, gan gynnwys ariannu prosiectau penodol ar gyfer pobl sy'n gadael gofal. Rydym yn canolbwyntio ar gryfhau'r trefniadau sydd ar waith i sicrhau bod pobl ifanc yn pontio'n llwyddiannus o ofal i fyw'n annibynnol, gyda chyd-grŵp tai a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn llywio'r gwaith hwn.
English: Yes, I absolutely agree with that. I don't know the specifics, and I would invite David Rees to write to me with the specifics of the case that he's mentioning. But there are a range of things that are provided through accommodation for young care leavers, and some of those are actual care. I'm afraid I don't know what's included in the rent that you mentioned - if there's a care package included or anything else. But what I do know is that, in the transition period for young people, we do have financial assistance available to them if they get into that circumstance and we are also working with registered social landlords and local authorities to make sure that that kind of debt does not debar you from being able to access social housing, for example. So, we know that care leavers have been disproportionately impacted by homelessness, and we very much want to address that. So, we've put a number of measures in. We've got a joint housing and social services group established to sit under both the ministerial homelessness task and finish group, which you'll be aware of, and the improving outcomes ministerial advisory group in order to make sure that we capture all of the issues together. I'm more than happy to share the work of that with the Member, as a result of this question.
Welsh: Cytunaf yn llwyr â hynny. Nid wyf yn ymwybodol o'r manylion, a buaswn yn gwahodd David Rees i ysgrifennu ataf gyda manylion yr achos y mae'n ei grybwyll. Ond ceir ystod o bethau a ddarperir drwy lety i bobl ifanc sy'n gadael gofal, a gofal yn benodol yw rhai o'r rheini. Rwy'n ofni nad wyf yn gwybod beth sydd wedi'i gynnwys yn y rhent y sonioch chi amdano - os oes pecyn gofal wedi'i gynnwys neu unrhyw beth arall. Ond gwn fod gennym, yn y cyfnod pontio i bobl ifanc, gymorth ariannol ar gael iddynt os ydynt yn y sefyllfa honno ac rydym hefyd yn gweithio gyda landlordiaid cymdeithasol cofrestredig ac awdurdodau lleol i sicrhau nad yw'r math hwnnw o ddyled yn eich rhwystro rhag gallu cael mynediad at dai cymdeithasol, er enghraifft. Felly, gwyddom fod digartrefedd wedi effeithio'n anghymesur ar bobl sy'n gadael gofal, ac rydym yn awyddus iawn i fynd i'r afael â hynny. Felly, rydym wedi rhoi nifer o fesurau ar waith. Mae gennym gyd-grŵp tai a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol wedi'i sefydlu o dan y grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen gweinidogol ar ddigartrefedd, ac fe fyddwch yn gwybod am hwnnw, a'r grŵp cynghori gweinidogol ar wella canlyniadau er mwyn sicrhau ein bod yn mynd i'r afael â'r holl faterion gyda'i gilydd. Rwy'n fwy na pharod i rannu gwaith y grŵp gyda'r Aelod yn sgil y cwestiwn hwn.
English: Leaving care, of course, is one of the most difficult times in a young person's life and some people - young people in particular - do not feel quite ready to manage on their own. In such circumstances, supported accommodation, such as community living schemes or supported housing, will be considered. I've been around some fantastic provision in Conwy County Borough Council. However, demand is outstripping the supply, and I've established, through chatting with elected members and also officers, that less then 50 per cent of individuals with learning difficulties or disabilities, in fact, are able to access such supported schemes in Conwy. And I'm also mindful of the actual cost associated with some of these schemes - they can be over £1,000 a month. What support are you giving to local authorities in order that they can at least try and meet some of the demand that actually seems to be increasing now on a week-by-week basis - the need for this kind of supported living scheme?
Welsh: Mae gadael gofal, wrth gwrs, yn un o'r adegau anoddaf ym mywydau pobl ifanc ac nid yw rhai pobl - pobl ifanc yn enwedig - yn teimlo'n hollol barod i ymdopi ar eu pen eu hunain. Mewn amgylchiadau o'r fath, bydd llety â chymorth, fel cynlluniau byw yn y gymuned neu dai â chymorth, yn cael eu hystyried. Rwyf wedi gweld darpariaeth wych yng Nghyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy. Fodd bynnag, mae'r galw'n fwy na'r cyflenwad, ac rwyf wedi darganfod, drwy sgwrsio ag aelodau etholedig a swyddogion, fod llai na 50 y cant o unigolion ag anawsterau neu anableddau dysgu yn gallu cael mynediad at gynlluniau cymorth o'r fath yng Nghonwy. Ac rwyf hefyd yn ymwybodol o'r gost wirioneddol sy'n gysylltiedig â rhai o'r cynlluniau hyn - gallant fod dros £1,000 y mis. Pa gefnogaeth rydych yn ei rhoi i awdurdodau lleol fel y gallant o leiaf geisio ateb rhywfaint o'r galw yr ymddengys ei fod yn cynyddu o wythnos i wythnos bellach - yr angen am y math hwn o gynllun byw â chymorth?
English: Credit unions provide access to affordable credit and promote a savings habit. They offer a fairer and ethical alternative to often exploitative high-cost credit. In support of their work, £544,000 is being provided to credit unions this financial year to take forward 20 projects that promote financial inclusion.
Welsh: Mae undebau credyd yn darparu mynediad at gredyd fforddiadwy ac yn hybu arfer o gynilo. Maent yn cynnig dewis arall mwy teg a moesegol yn lle credyd ar gost uchel, sy'n aml yn ecsbloetiol. I gefnogi eu gwaith, mae £544,000 yn cael ei ddarparu i undebau credyd yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon er mwyn rhoi 20 prosiect sy'n hyrwyddo cynhwysiant ariannol ar waith.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister. You'll be aware that we're approaching a time of the year that can be a huge pressure on household budgets, and the pressure of advertising and wanting to buy the right thing can often lead to wrong decisions on spending and fuel the growth of personal debt, and unsustainable debt, actually. So, would you join me in thanking the credit unions across Wales, including the great work of Merthyr Tydfil Borough Credit Union and Smart Money Cymru Credit Union, which provide financial and loan services in my constituency, that can really help hard-pressed families to budget effectively, not just at Christmas, but all year round? And could you tell me what more can Welsh Government do to promote and encourage the use of credit unions?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol ein bod yn agosáu at adeg o'r flwyddyn a all roi pwysau enfawr ar gyllidebau aelwydydd, a gall pwysau hysbysebu a'r dyhead i brynu'r peth iawn arwain yn aml at benderfyniadau gwario anghywir a bwydo twf dyled bersonol, a dyled sy'n anghynaliadwy mewn gwirionedd. Felly, a wnewch chi ymuno â mi i ddiolch i'r undebau credyd ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys gwaith gwych Undeb Credyd Bwrdeistref Merthyr Tudful ac Undeb Credyd Smart Money Cymru, sy'n darparu gwasanaethau arian a benthyg yn fy etholaeth, a all helpu teuluoedd sydd o dan bwysau i gyllidebu'n effeithiol, nid yn unig adeg y Nadolig, ond drwy gydol y flwyddyn? Ac a allech ddweud wrthyf beth arall y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud i hyrwyddo ac annog defnydd o undebau credyd?
English: I absolutely share the Member's concerns regarding the additional pressure and burden often felt and placed on families particularly at this time of year, and wanting to do the right thing, perhaps, by your family or your children - the additional pressures that that places, and it affects people's ability to pay essential household bills, including rent and mortgages. Of course, I join with you in thanking the excellent work that credit unions in communities right across Wales do, including, obviously, Merthyr Tydfil credit union and Smart Money Cymru. And I'd like to place on record today my thanks for their commitment in all that they do in our communities. As you say, you need to think that credit unions are for everyone, and, as you say, they're particularly useful in the build-up to Christmas, enabling people to save towards Christmas, but I think we should really use the mantra that credit unions are not just for Christmas, they are for life. And I think Welsh Government has put in resources to promote the use of credit unions and I think perhaps there's more we can do in terms of working with Members in terms of how we can spread that message right across each and every one of our constituencies.
Welsh: Rhannaf bryderon yr Aelod ynglŷn â'r pwysau a'r baich ychwanegol a deimlir ac a roddir yn aml ar deuluoedd ar yr adeg hon o'r flwyddyn yn enwedig, ac mae'r dyhead i wneud y peth iawn, efallai, i'ch teulu neu eich plant - y pwysau ychwanegol y mae hynny'n ei roi, ac mae'n effeithio ar allu pobl i dalu biliau hanfodol y cartref, gan gynnwys rhent a morgeisi. Wrth gwrs, fe ategaf eich diolch am y gwaith rhagorol y mae'r undebau credyd mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru yn ei wneud, gan gynnwys, yn amlwg, undeb credyd Merthyr Tudful a Smart Money Cymru. A hoffwn gofnodi fy niolch iddynt heddiw am eu hymrwymiad ym mhob dim a wnânt yn ein cymunedau. Fel y dywedwch, mae angen ichi feddwl bod undebau credyd ar gyfer pawb, ac fel y dywedwch, maent yn arbennig o ddefnyddiol yn y cyfnod cyn y Nadolig, yn galluogi pobl i gynilo tuag at y Nadolig, ond credaf y dylem ddefnyddio'r mantra nad ar gyfer y Nadolig yn unig y mae undebau credyd, ond am oes. A chredaf fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi darparu adnoddau i hyrwyddo'r defnydd o undebau credyd a chredaf efallai fod mwy y gallwn ei wneud o ran gweithio gyda'r Aelodau i weld sut y gallwn ledaenu'r neges honno ym mhob un o'n hetholaethau.
English: Minister, Newport Credit Union has pioneered a personal loan scheme to prevent more people from falling victim to high interest rate payday lenders. The family loan is an innovative scheme that allows members of a credit union to repay what they borrow directly from their benefits. Other credit unions in Wales are now following Newport's example. Minister, will you join me in congratulating Newport Credit Union on this scheme, and will you also commit to continuing to support credit unions in their work to prevent people from using payday lenders charging, in some cases, over 3,000 per cent more interest to some borrowers? Thank you.
Welsh: Weinidog, mae Undeb Credyd Casnewydd wedi arloesi gyda chynllun benthyciadau personol i atal mwy o bobl rhag cael eu bachu gan fenthycwyr diwrnod cyflog a'u cyfraddau llog uchel. Mae'r benthyciad teulu yn gynllun arloesol sy'n caniatáu i aelodau undeb credyd ad-dalu'r hyn y maent yn ei fenthyca yn uniongyrchol o'u budd-daliadau. Mae undebau credyd eraill yng Nghymru bellach yn dilyn esiampl Casnewydd. Weinidog, a wnewch chi ymuno â mi i longyfarch Undeb Credyd Casnewydd ar y cynllun hwn, ac a wnewch chi hefyd ymrwymo i barhau i gefnogi undebau credyd gyda'u gwaith i atal pobl rhag defnyddio benthycwyr diwrnod cyflog, sy'n codi dros 3,000 y cant yn fwy o log ar rai benthycwyr mewn rhai achosion? Diolch.
