English: With that much of an introduction, we move on to item 2, which is our continuation of the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Bill scrutiny. This is an evidence session with Social Care Wales, the Welsh Local Government Association, and the Association of Directors of Social Services Cymru. As Members will know, this is the eighth evidence session from this committee on the Welsh Government Bill, the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Bill. So, we're very grateful to have received your written evidence beforehand. Thank you very much. We will continue with our discussion. We have around an hour to ask questions based on the evidence already received. I'm very pleased, therefore, to welcome to the table: David Pritchard, who is director of regulation Social Care Wales; Councillor Huw David, Welsh Local Government Association spokesperson for health and social care and leader of Bridgend County Borough Council; and also Nicola Stubbins, vice-president of the Association of Directors of Social Services Cymru. Welcome to all three of you. And as usual, we'll go straight into questions - there are plenty of them. David Rees will start. David.
Welsh: Gyda chymaint â hynny o ragymadrodd, fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen at eitem 2, a pharhau efo'n craffu ni ar y Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Ansawdd ac Ymgysylltu) (Cymru). Dyma sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru, Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru, a Chymdeithas Cyfarwyddwyr Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol Cymru. Fel bydd Aelodau'n gwybod, dyma'r wythfed sesiwn dystiolaeth gan y pwyllgor yma ar Fil y Llywodraeth, y Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Ansawdd ac Ymgysylltu) (Cymru). Felly, dŷn ni'n ddiolchgar iawn am inni dderbyn tystiolaeth ysgrifenedig ymlaen llaw. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi. Fe wnawn ni barhau efo'n trafodaeth. Mae gyda ni rhyw awr i ofyn cwestiynau yn seiliedig ar y dystiolaeth dŷn ni wedi'i derbyn eisoes. Dwi'n falch iawn i groesawu i'r bwrdd, felly: David Pritchard, cyfarwyddwr rheoleiddio Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru; y Cynghorydd Huw David, llefarydd iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol dros Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru ac arweinydd Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr; a hefyd Nicola Stubbins, is-lywydd Cymdeithas Cyfarwyddwyr Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol Cymru. Croeso i'r tri ohonoch chi. Ac yn ôl ein harfer, fe awn ni'n syth i mewn i gwestiynau - mae yna ddigon ohonyn nhw. Fe wnaiff David Rees ddechrau. David.
English: Great. Thank you very much. Any other questions? No. That's the end of the session. So, thank you very much. I can confirm that you will receive a transcript of these discussions so that you can check them for factual accuracy. But with those few words, may I thank you very much for attending? I announce to my fellow Members that we'll have a break now until the next witnesses. A break of 10 minutes - we'll return here at 10:25. Thank you.
Welsh: Grêt. Diolch yn fawr. Unrhyw gwestiynau eraill? Nac oes. Dyna ddiwedd y sesiwn, felly. Felly, diolch yn fawr iawn i chi. Gallaf gadarnhau y byddwch chi'n derbyn trawsgrifiad o'r trafodaethau yma er mwyn ichi allu gwirio eu bod nhw'n ffeithiol gywir. Ond gyda chymaint â hynny o ragymadrodd, a allaf i ddiolch yn fawr iawn i'r tri ohonoch chi? Diolch yn fawr. Gallaf gyhoeddi i'm cyd-Aelodau y cawn ni doriad nawr tan y tystion nesaf. Toriad o 10 munud - dod nôl am 10:25. Diolch yn fawr.
English: Welcome back, everyone, to the latest part of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee here in the Senedd. We have reached item 3 now, which is a continuation of our scrutiny of the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Bill. This is the evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services. We have received all your evidence beforehand and thank you for that. Of course, the Minister has appeared before us before regarding this Bill. This is the final evidence session for this committee on the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Bill. We have had a lot of other witnesses before us, as you will be aware, and this is the final evidence session, and to that effect, I'm very pleased to welcome Vaughan Gething, who is the Minister for Health and Social Services; Janet Davies, who is deputy director, health and social services group in the Welsh Government; Rhian Williams, policy lead on the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Bill in the Welsh Government; and also Catrin Gwyn, who is a lawyer in the Welsh Government. Welcome to all four of you, and as usual, we'll go straight into questions, and Angela Burns will start.
Welsh: Croeso nôl i bawb i'r adran ddiweddaraf o'r Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon yma yn y Senedd. Rydym ni wedi cyrraedd eitem 3 erbyn rŵan, a pharhad efo'n craffu i mewn i'r Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Ansawdd ac Ymgysylltu) (Cymru). Dyma sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol. Rydym ni wedi derbyn yr holl dystiolaeth ysgrifenedig ymlaen llaw, a diolch ichi am hynny. Wrth gwrs, yn naturiol, mae'r Gweinidog wedi bod o'n blaenau ni o'r blaen ynglŷn â'r Bil yma. Dyma'r sesiwn dystiolaeth olaf gan y pwyllgor ar y Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Ansawdd ac Ymgysylltu) (Cymru). Rydym ni wedi cael cryn doreth o dystion eraill ger ein bron, fel rydych chi'n gwybod, felly dyma'r sesiwn dystiolaeth olaf, ac i'r perwyl yna, dwi'n falch iawn i groesawu i'r bwrdd Vaughan Gething, y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol; Janet Davies, dirprwy gyfarwyddwr, grŵp iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol, Llywodraeth Cymru; Rhian Williams, arweinydd polisi, Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Ansawdd ac Ymgysylltu) (Cymru), Llywodraeth Cymru; a hefyd Catrin Gwyn, cyfreithiwr, Llywodraeth Cymru. Croeso i'r pedwar ohonoch chi, ac yn ôl ein traddodiad rŵan, awn ni'n syth i mewn i'r cwestiynau, ac mae Angela Burns yn mynd i ddechrau.
English: Good morning. The committee has heard quite a lot of evidence that it's not appropriate for the new citizen voice body to be appointed by Welsh Ministers. There's talk about the independence of the body and so forth. What is your view towards that?
Welsh: Bore da. Mae'r pwyllgor wedi clywed cryn dipyn o dystiolaeth nad ydy hi'n briodol i gorff llais y dinesydd newydd gael ei benodi gan Weinidogion Cymru - sôn am annibyniaeth y corff ac yn y blaen. Beth ydy'ch agwedd chi tuag at hynny?
English: Okay. Just to come to your general vision, therefore, in terms of the new citizen's voice body, what do you think are the primary functions and focus of the new citizen voice body?
Welsh: Ocê. Jest i ddod at eich gweledigaeth gyffredinol chi, felly, ynglŷn â'r corff dinesydd newydd yma, beth ydych chi'n meddwl ydy prif waith, prif ffocws, y corff dinesydd newydd?
English: Yes, but I would argue that there is a role for Government Ministers at least to give some sort of vision in terms of the expectations of a body such as this, not leaving it to them to go ahead and decide on the route that they want to follow. There is a need to be clear regarding the purpose of this in legislation, surely.
Welsh: Ie, ond mi fyddwn i'n dadlau bod yna rôl i Weinidogion Llywodraeth o leiaf i roi rhyw fath o weledigaeth ynglŷn â disgwyliadau corff o'r math yma, a ddim ei adael o iddyn nhw fynd ymlaen a phenderfynu ar y trywydd maen nhw eisiau mynd. Mae'n rhaid bod yn glir beth yw pwrpas hwn mewn deddfwriaeth, does bosib.
English: Turning to one specific aspect of these, now, and probably the clearest message that's come out of evidence that we've received is that the new body needs to have teeth, and be able to operate, and has the power of access to settings - a right to a response to representations and so forth, therefore. Are you willing to commit to include a power of access in the Bill now?
Welsh: Gan droi at un agwedd benodol, rŵan, ac mae'n debyg mai'r neges gliriaf sydd wedi dod allan o'r dystiolaeth rydyn ni wedi ei chael ydy bod rhaid i'r corff newydd fod efo dannedd, ei fod o angen gallu gweithredu, ac efo pŵer mynediad i fynd i leoliadau - hawl i gael ymateb i sylwadau ac yn y blaen, felly. Ydych chi, erbyn hyn, yn barod i ymrwymo i gynnwys pŵer mynediad yn y Bil?
English: Have you looked at the system in England and Northern Ireland as well and learned lessons from there regarding access to settings?
Welsh: A ydych chi wedi edrych ar y drefn yn Lloegr a Gogledd Iwerddon hefyd a dysgu gwersi o hynny ynglŷn â mynediad i leoliadau?
English: What concerns some people, of course, is the fact that, if this power of access isn't included in the Bill, there is a risk that quality issues and safety issues that have become apparent through those kinds of visits in the past - I know of examples in my area where, through these unannounced visits, they have found quality and safeguarding issues. If that isn't included in the Bill, is there a risk that there are situations that will go under the radar in the future?
Welsh: Beth sy'n poeni rhai pobl, wrth gwrs, ydy os nad ydy'r pŵer mynediad yn cael ei gynnwys yn y Bil mae yna risg y bydd materion ansawdd a diogelwch sydd wedi dod i'r amlwg drwy'r math yna o ymweliad yn y gorffennol - dwi'n gwybod am enghreifftiau yn fy ardal i, lle drwy ymweliadau dirybudd, maen nhw wedi canfod materion ansawdd a diogelwch difrifol. Os nad ydy hwnna'n cael ei gynnwys yn y Bil, oes yna risg bod sefyllfaoedd yn mynd o dan y radar i'r dyfodol?
English: Finished?
Welsh: Wedi gorffen?
English: Okay. There we are, that's the end of the session. Thank you very much for coming. Thank you again for your written evidence that was submitted beforehand. Can I confirm, once again, that you will receive a transcript of the discussions so that you can confirm that they are factually correct? But with those few words, thank you very much, and that is the end of the item.
Welsh: Ocê. Dyna ni, dyna ddiwedd y sesiwn. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am eich presenoldeb. Diolch yn fawr unwaith eto am y dystiolaeth ysgrifenedig a gyflwynwyd ymlaen llaw. Gaf i gadarnhau, unwaith eto, y byddwch chi yn derbyn trawsgrifiad o'r trafodaethau er mwyn i chi allu cadarnhau eu bod nhw'n ffeithiol gywir? Ond gyda chymaint â hynny o ragymadrodd, diolch yn fawr iawn i chi, a dyna ddiwedd yr eitem.
English: We'll move on now to item 4 - for my fellow Members - and a motion under Standing Order 17.42 (vi) to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Is everyone agreed? Everyone is agreed. So, we are in private session.
Welsh: Dŷn ni'n symud ymlaen nawr at eitem 4 - i fy nghyd-Aelodau - a chynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 (vi) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod yma. Ydy pawb yn gytûn? Pawb yn gytûn. Felly, sesiwn breifat amdani.
English: And the first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, and I call the first question, from Delyth Jewell.
Welsh: A'r eitem gyntaf ar ein hagenda ni y prynhawn yma yw'r cwestiynau i'r Gweinidog Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig, a dwi'n galw'r cwestiwn cyntaf - Delyth Jewell.
English: Thank you. This Government has consistently made clear our opposition to fracking, as set out in our programme for government. Following overwhelming public support for the consultation proposals, I made a policy statement last December, setting out fracking will not be supported in Wales and there should be no new petroleum licensing.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae'r Llywodraeth hon wedi egluro ein gwrthwynebiad i ffracio yn gyson, fel y nodwyd yn ein rhaglen lywodraethu. Yn dilyn cefnogaeth enfawr y cyhoedd i argymhellion yr ymgynghoriad, gwneuthum ddatganiad polisi fis Rhagfyr diwethaf, yn nodi na chaiff ffracio ei gefnogi yng Nghymru ac ni ddylid caniatáu unrhyw drwyddedau petrolewm newydd.
English: I'm glad to hear that, Minister, as I had heard there were concerns amongst some environmentalist groups that the Welsh Government may have been decreasing its opposition due to the announcement that Ineos will open a factory in Wales. Of course, Ineos's main interest in mainland Britain is shale extraction. The investment by Ineos in Bridgend for building its new 4x4 is, of course, very welcome, and I hope people will now feel reassured by your answer that it will not affect the Welsh Government's fracking policy. Now, fracking isn't the only mode of petroleum extraction that's causing concern, however. Recently, an application was made to pursue seismic testing in Cardigan bay, to find locations for potential drilling. That licence was suspended, but that does not prevent similar applications being made in the future. So, could the Minister please give us an update on measures being undertaken by your Government to impose an effective ban on seismic testing, just as you've done with fracking?
Welsh: Rwy'n falch o glywed hynny, Weinidog, gan fy mod wedi clywed bod yna bryderon gan rai grwpiau amgylcheddol y gallai Llywodraeth Cymru fod wedi lleihau ei gwrthwynebiad yn sgil y cyhoeddiad y bydd Ineos yn agor ffatri yng Nghymru. Wrth gwrs, prif ddiddordeb Ineos ar dir mawr Prydain yw echdynnu nwy siâl. Mae buddsoddiad Ineos ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr ar gyfer adeiladu ei gerbyd 4x4 newydd, wrth gwrs, i'w groesawu'n fawr, ac rwy'n gobeithio y bydd pobl yn teimlo'n dawelach eu meddwl yn awr oherwydd eich ateb na fydd yn effeithio ar bolisi ffracio Llywodraeth Cymru. Nawr, nid ffracio yw'r unig ddull o echdynnu petrolewm sy'n peri pryder, fodd bynnag. Yn ddiweddar, gwnaed cais i gynnal profion seismig ym Mae Ceredigion, i ddod o hyd i leoliadau posibl ar gyfer drilio. Ataliwyd y drwydded honno, ond nid yw hynny'n atal ceisiadau tebyg rhag cael eu gwneud yn y dyfodol. Felly, a allai'r Gweinidog roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf inni am y camau y mae eich Llywodraeth yn eu cymryd i osod gwaharddiad effeithiol ar brofion seismig, yn union fel y gwnaethoch gyda ffracio?
English: Thank you. So, I do hope that will reassure anybody who's had any concerns. I don't think I've personally been contacted by anybody who's brought that issue to my attention. I was obviously aware of the application around seismic testing and did have conversations with UK Government counterparts to put forward our views on that.
Welsh: Diolch. Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd hynny'n tawelu meddwl unrhyw un sydd wedi cael unrhyw bryderon. Nid wyf yn meddwl bod unrhyw un wedi cysylltu â mi'n bersonol i dynnu fy sylw at y mater hwnnw. Yn amlwg, roeddwn yn ymwybodol o'r cais ynghylch cynnal profion seismig ac fe gefais sgyrsiau â swyddogion cyfatebol yn Llywodraeth y DU i fynegi ein barn ar hynny.
English: Minister, according to the United States Energy Information Administration, nearly two thirds of reduction in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in the past decade in the US can be attributed to fracking. The United Nations inter-governmental panel on climate change notes that fracking has increased and diversified the gas supply, allowing for a more extensive switching of power and heat production from coal to gas. They also affirm that this is an important reason for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Does the Minister agree, in light of the above, with these organisations that fracking results in fewer carbon emissions?
Welsh: Weinidog, yn ôl Gweinyddiaeth Gwybodaeth Ynni yr Unol Daleithiau, gellir priodoli bron i ddwy ran o dair o'r lleihad mewn allyriadau carbon deuocsid sy'n gysylltiedig ag ynni dros y degawd diwethaf yn yr Unol Daleithiau i ffracio. Mae panel rhynglywodraethol y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar y newid yn yr hinsawdd yn nodi bod ffracio wedi cynyddu ac wedi arallgyfeirio'r cyflenwad nwy, gan ganiatáu ar gyfer newid mwy helaeth yn y cynhyrchiant pŵer a gwres o lo i nwy. Maent hefyd yn cadarnhau bod hyn yn rheswm pwysig dros leihau allyriadau nwyon tŷ gwydr yn yr Unol Daleithiau. Yng ngoleuni'r uchod, a yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno â'r sefydliadau hyn fod ffracio yn arwain at lai o allyriadau carbon?
English: I'm not aware of the article or the piece of research that the Member refers to. I just reiterate that we've maintained a very robust and unequivocal opposition to fracking. You'll be aware of the consultation that we had last year, and, certainly, public opinion was that switching to energy alternatives that emit far less pollution is both achievable and preferable, and also saw no future in beginning a new fossil fuel industry. All my efforts, and those of my colleagues, are looking at what we can do to bring forward more renewable energy.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn ymwybodol o'r erthygl na'r gwaith ymchwil y mae'r Aelod yn cyfeirio atynt. Rwy'n ailadrodd ein bod wedi gwrthwynebu ffracio'n gadarn ac yn bendant iawn. Fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol o'r ymgynghoriad a gawsom y llynedd, ac yn sicr, y farn gyhoeddus oedd bod newid i ddewisiadau ynni sy'n allyrru llawer llai o lygredd yn gyraeddadwy ac yn well, a gwelwyd hefyd nad oes dyfodol mewn dechrau diwydiant tanwydd ffosil newydd. Mae fy holl ymdrechion, ac ymdrechion fy nghyd-Aelodau, yn edrych ar yr hyn y gallwn ei wneud i gyflwyno mwy o ynni adnewyddadwy.
English: Minister, it's very welcome to hear that the Welsh Government continues its robust opposition to fracking, particularly the implications that that has for our environment as much as anything else. But, on fracking, there's also deep borehole testing, and some of this work is being done on NRW land as well. Can you, therefore, have discussions with your colleague in the Cabinet who is in charge of planning to ensure that deep borehole applications are also considered as an outlier to fracking, and, as such, whether councils should actually be considering that or not? And will you give guidance to councils in relation to that, because we could end up with a lot of communities being very anxious, very nervous as a consequence of an application, on which we will know nothing will happen because of the robust statement that you've just made?
Welsh: Weinidog, mae'n galonogol iawn clywed bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau â'i gwrthwynebiad cadarn i ffracio, yn enwedig y goblygiadau y mae hynny'n eu creu i'n hamgylchedd yn gymaint ag unrhyw beth arall. Ond o ran ffracio, ceir profion ar dyllau turio dwfn hefyd, ac mae peth o'r gwaith hwn yn cael ei wneud ar dir Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru yn ogystal. Oherwydd hynny, a allwch gael trafodaethau gyda'ch cyd-Weinidog yn y Cabinet sy'n gyfrifol am gynllunio i sicrhau y caiff ceisiadau ar gyfer tyllau turio dwfn eu hystyried hefyd fel allbwynt i ffracio, ac fel y cyfryw, a ddylai cynghorau ystyried hynny ai peidio? Ac a wnewch chi roi arweiniad i gynghorau mewn perthynas â hynny, gan y gallai arwain at wneud llawer o gymunedau'n bryderus iawn, yn nerfus iawn o ganlyniad i gais y byddwn yn gwybod na fydd dim yn digwydd yn ei gylch oherwydd y datganiad cadarn rydych newydd ei wneud?
English: David Rees makes a very important point. All petroleum exploration and extraction boreholes require a petroleum licence and planning consents from the local planning authority. Both regimes are devolved, wholly subject to Welsh policy. So, as I've said, our policy objective is to avoid the continued extraction and consumption of fossil fuels, and that includes shale gas extracted via fracking. I know when I was the planning Minister, we certainly provided advice and guidance to local authorities, but I'm very happy to speak to my colleague Julie James, who's in her seat, to ensure that if we need to update or we need to refresh, we can do that.

Welsh: Mae David Rees yn gwneud pwynt pwysig iawn. Mae angen trwydded petrolewm a chaniatâd cynllunio gan yr awdurdod cynllunio lleol ar bob twll turio sy'n chwilio am betrolewm a'i echdynnu. Mae'r ddwy gyfundrefn wedi'u datganoli, ac maent yn gwbl ddarostyngedig i bolisi Cymru. Felly, fel y dywedais, ein hamcan polisi yw osgoi parhau i echdynnu a defnyddio tanwydd ffosil, ac mae hynny'n cynnwys nwy siâl a echdynnir drwy ffracio. Pan oeddwn yn Weinidog cynllunio, gwn yn sicr ein bod yn darparu cyngor ac arweiniad i awdurdodau lleol, ond rwy'n hapus iawn i siarad â fy nghyd-Weinidog, Julie James, sydd yn ei sedd, i sicrhau, os oes angen i ni ddiweddaru neu adnewyddu cyngor, y gallwn wneud hynny.

English: Natural Resources Wales is responsible for managing reservoirs in mid Wales, with the Clywedog and Vyrnwy reservoirs falling within their north operational area. I am aware of concerns surrounding the management of these reservoirs, and my officials are working with the Environment Agency and NRW to resolve any issues.
Welsh: Mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru yn gyfrifol am reoli cronfeydd dŵr yng nghanolbarth Cymru, gyda chronfeydd dŵr Clywedog ac Efyrnwy yn dod o fewn eu hardal weithredol yn y gogledd. Rwy'n ymwybodol o'r pryderon ynghylch rheoli'r cronfeydd dŵr hyn, ac mae fy swyddogion yn gweithio gydag Asiantaeth yr Amgylchedd a Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru i ddatrys unrhyw broblemau.
English: Thank you, Minister, and I am pleased to hear that answer. There is real concern, and there's been ongoing concern for some time now, in regard to the operating rules and agreements of both dams, because water has been topping over both dams, that both of us have mentioned, and this has caused great flooding in large parts of my constituency. So, I would be grateful if we could expedite a review of the operating rules and agreement, and if you could liaise with your officials, Natural Resources Wales, and with the Environment Agency and Severn Trent Water, to bring about that review as soon as possible, because I think we've got to the point now where landowners are feeling absolutely exasperated.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog, ac rwy'n falch o glywed yr ateb hwnnw. Mae pryder gwirioneddol yn bodoli, ac wedi bodoli ers peth amser bellach, ynghylch rheolau a chytundebau gweithredu'r ddau argae, gan fod dŵr wedi bod yn gorlifo dros y ddau argae, fel y crybwyllodd y ddau ohonom, ac mae hyn wedi achosi llifogydd mawr mewn rhannau helaeth o fy etholaeth. Felly, buaswn yn ddiolchgar pe gallem hwyluso adolygiad o'r rheolau a'r cytundeb gweithredu, a phe gallech gysylltu â'ch swyddogion, Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru, a chydag Asiantaeth yr Amgylchedd a Severn Trent Water, i roi'r adolygiad hwnnw ar waith cyn gynted â phosibl, oherwydd rwy'n credu ein bod wedi cyrraedd pwynt yn awr lle mae tirfeddianwyr yn teimlo'n ddig dros ben.
English: Thank you. I am aware that, I think, you attended the last Clywedog and Vyrnwy liaison group meeting, which obviously my officials attended also. And there's the tripartite agreement between NRW, the Environment Agency and Hafren Dyfrdwy. I know they've already implemented some interim measures, to alter the timings of water releases, for instance, and that's based on downstream indicators. But, clearly, this is work that needs to continue. I think it's really important that the residents are aware of what's going on as well. So, I have asked my officials to attend a further meeting on the matter, along with NRW. I think it would be good if you could attend also; if you haven't had an invitation, then certainly I will make sure that you do have an invitation. And, obviously, I'll be updated following that meeting, to decide on what further action we need to take, if any.
Welsh: Diolch. Rwy'n ymwybodol eich bod yn bresennol yng nghyfarfod diwethaf grŵp cyswllt Clywedog ac Efyrnwy, rwy'n credu, cyfarfod a fynychwyd hefyd gan fy swyddogion wrth gwrs. A cheir y cytundeb teirochrog rhwng Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru, Asiantaeth yr Amgylchedd a Hafren Dyfrdwy. Gwn eu bod eisoes wedi gweithredu rhai camau dros dro, i newid amserau rhyddhau dŵr, er enghraifft, ac mae hynny'n seiliedig ar ddangosyddion i lawr yr afon. Ond yn amlwg, mae hwn yn waith sydd angen ei barhau. Credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn fod y trigolion yn ymwybodol o'r hyn sy'n digwydd hefyd. Felly, gofynnais i fy swyddogion ddod i gyfarfod arall ar y mater, ynghyd â Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru. Rwy'n credu y byddai'n dda pe gallech chi fod yn bresennol hefyd; os nad ydych wedi cael gwahoddiad, yn sicr fe wnaf yn siŵr eich bod yn cael un. Ac yn amlwg, byddaf yn cael y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf yn dilyn y cyfarfod hwnnw, i benderfynu ar ba gamau pellach y bydd angen i ni eu cymryd, os o gwbl.
