English: I thank Paul Davies for his series of questions. Just picking up on your first point regarding the TB eradication programme, I have committed to bringing forward a statement in the autumn on the way forward. We will continue to have a science-led approach and, over the summer, there is a significant amount of work going on in relation to our programme. I used the example of bluetongue to illustrate that we do have very robust plans in place for dealing with these diseases. You mentioned the increase in the number of cases in France, and that's why we are monitoring it very carefully. The chief veterinary officer is in constant touch with the other veterinary officers in the UK; she receives a monthly report in respect of these diseases. Obviously, if there is an incursion from infected midges from France, those farms at highest risk are likely to be along the south coast and the south-east of England at the beginning of an outbreak, but our message is that farmers in other parts of the country shouldn't be complacent, they should remain vigilant for signs of disease, and carefully consider the risk of sourcing animals from outside the UK. You asked about cost analysis, as did Simon Thomas, sorry, and I didn't answer that. What I did mention was that vaccination really should be done at the beginning of the year before the weather gets very warm, and I'm not aware if that cost analysis was done at the beginning of the year, but I will certainly write to both Members to clarify those points. In relation to contingency plans, it's really important that we do have those robust plans in place, and I've had a contingency walkthrough, if you like, of what would happen if we had an outbreak with the chief veterinary officer and her advisers. It is really important that we do include stakeholders such as local authorities and police, et cetera, and, you know, maybe Public Health Wales, for instance, depending on what sorts of outbreak there are as we go through, because they can obviously provide assistance to us. I've been very reassured that all the fora are in place - the resilience, the civil contingency plans are there, in place, should we have such an outbreak. I was very reassured when I looked at the list of notifiable diseases when I came into post that it's many years since we've had some of the specific diseases in Wales. By the increased help with biosecurity with our farmers, we certainly hope to keep that the case.
Welsh: Diolchaf i Paul Davies am ei gyfres o gwestiynau. Dim ond i gyfeirio at eich pwynt cyntaf ynghylch y rhaglen dileu TB, rwyf wedi ymrwymo i ddod â datganiad gerbron yn yr hydref ar y ffordd ymlaen. Byddwn yn parhau i fod â dull gwyddonol ac, yn ystod yr haf, bydd cryn dipyn o waith yn mynd ymlaen yn gysylltiedig â'n rhaglen. Defnyddiais enghraifft y tafod glas i ddangos bod gennym gynlluniau cadarn iawn ar waith ar gyfer ymdrin â'r clefydau hyn. Soniasoch am y cynnydd yn nifer yr achosion yn Ffrainc, a dyna pam yr ydym yn monitro hynny yn ofalus iawn. Mae'r prif swyddog milfeddygol mewn cysylltiad cyson â'r swyddogion milfeddygol eraill yn y DU; mae hi'n cael adroddiad bob mis ynglŷn â'r clefydau hyn. Yn amlwg, os oes ymlediad o wybed wedi'u heintio o Ffrainc, bydd y ffermydd hynny sydd fwyaf mewn perygl yn debygol o fod ar hyd arfordir y de a de-ddwyrain Lloegr ar ddechrau achos o glefyd, ond ein neges yw na ddylai ffermwyr mewn rhannau eraill o'r wlad fod yn hunanfodlon, dylent barhau i fod yn wyliadwrus am arwyddion o afiechyd, ac ystyried yn ofalus y risg o gael anifeiliaid o'r tu allan i'r DU. Gofynasoch am ddadansoddiad cost, fel y gwnaeth Simon Thomas, mae'n ddrwg gennyf, a wnes i ddim ateb hynny. Yr hyn y gwnes i sôn amdano oedd y dylai brechu gael ei wneud ar ddechrau'r flwyddyn cyn bod y tywydd yn gynnes iawn, ac nid wyf yn ymwybodol o ba un a wnaethpwyd y dadansoddiad cost ar ddechrau'r flwyddyn, ond byddaf yn sicr yn ysgrifennu at y ddau Aelod i egluro'r pwyntiau hynny. O ran cynlluniau wrth gefn, mae'n hynod bwysig bod gennym y cynlluniau cadarn hynny ar waith, ac rwyf wedi cael fy arwain trwy'r trefniadau wrth gefn, os mynnwch chi, ar gyfer yr hyn a fyddai'n digwydd pe byddai gennym achosion o glefyd gyda'r prif swyddog milfeddygol a'i chynghorwyr. Mae'n wirioneddol bwysig ein bod yn cynnwys rhanddeiliaid megis awdurdodau lleol a'r heddlu, ac ati, a, wyddoch chi, efallai Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, er enghraifft, yn dibynnu ar ba fath o achosion sydd gennym, oherwydd yn amlwg gallant ddarparu cymorth i ni. Rwy'n dawel iawn fy meddwl bod yr holl fforymau wedi'u sefydlu - mae'r cydnerthedd, y cynlluniau wrth gefn sifil yno, wedi'u sefydlu, pe byddem yn cael achos o'r fath. Cefais fy nghalonogi'n fawr pan edrychais ar y rhestr o glefydau hysbysadwy pan ddes i i mewn i'r swydd, bod sawl blwyddyn ers i ni gael rhai o'r clefydau penodol yng Nghymru. Drwy'r cynnydd mewn cymorth â bioddiogelwch gyda'n ffermwyr, rydym yn sicr yn gobeithio sicrhau y bydd hynny'n parhau i fod yn wir.
