English: I thank Paul Davies for his broad welcome for the refreshed TB eradication programme. You started off by talking about targets, and you'll be aware that I responded this morning to the recommendations made by the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee. I think it was recommendations 1 and 2 that were around targets, and I was very happy to accept those recommendations. I will bring forward some targets, and also interim targets, by the end of this calendar year. Regarding monitoring, that will be constant. The idea of having the first delivery plan was to have the overarching strategic document in the eradication programme, but then underneath that, have the delivery plan, which can be flexible. So, if we need to respond to a changing pattern, for instance, we would be able to do that quickly. I want that delivery plan not to be a Welsh Government document. I want that to be very much in conjunction with the sector, with farmers and with the veterinary profession. You'll be aware of the bespoke plans that we're going to have with the chronic herd breakdowns. We've got 10 per cent of our herd breakdowns that are the chronic herd breakdowns, i.e. over 18 months - some of them since 2001. It's completely unacceptable, and I said this in my statement last October, before we went to consultation, that we really needed to look at these chronic herd breakdowns specifically. I absolutely agree: transparency is imperative, and again, we will be doing annual monitoring, and I will be very happy to report back on that. In regard to the regionalisation approach, again, the consultation - some people were in favour, some people weren't, but I think it's really important that we have it, and as I said in my statement, I think TB-free in north-west Wales, in that low area, is within our grasp, and that would really send a very positive message out. I don't want to burden farmers any more than they are. I don't want more regulation. However, we do want a TB-free Wales, so we have to have this holistic and new approach to the disease. You asked about trade between Wales and England and officials have certainly spoken to DEFRA and had discussions around that. I'm very happy with the arrangements that we've currently got in place. You referred to the informed purchasing status. I think that's really important. So, we've had a voluntary sort of scheme, if you like, and we've given grant funding to livestock markets. Not all livestock markets have taken up the grant funding. I would say that not all livestock markets are producing the information that I think buyers need. So, I do think the only way forward, really, is a mandatory scheme, so I've asked officials to look at how we could introduce that. I mentioned in my statement that checks are really important and I think particularly for farms. You know, I was asked the question about: if you're in a high TB area but you haven't had TB breakdown, how do you then inform people that you haven't had it? So, I think checks are a way forward to do that, and as I said, I would encourage everybody to encourage farmers to do that. You asked about post-movement testing in the low and intermediate TB areas and I said that this year, on 1 October, we'll introduce that in the low TB area. I just think we need to identify disease at an earlier stage. We don't want the disease introduced into the low TB area. I think we must do all we can to protect that. And because we know the majority of the way that it's spread from high TB areas into intermediate TB areas, I plan to introduce it next year there. I absolutely agree with you about six-month testing, and we looked at the consultation responses. My advice from the chief veterinary officer's office was to continue with annual testing, but, again, we will obviously monitor that. In relation to the compensation cap, it was £15,000 and it's now going to be £5,000. Looking at last year's figures, that would affect about 1 per cent of farmers. However, there is an issue around pedigree cattle, and I would encourage people who feel they've got cattle more valuable to look at insurance. You ask about inconclusive reactors and, again, we've said that, in those chronic herd breakdowns, we will be removing them immediately, but just, again, as part of the bespoke plans, and life long has been ruled out.
Welsh: Rwy'n diolch i Paul Davies am ei groeso cyffredinol i'r rhaglen dileu TB ar ei newydd wedd. Roeddech chi'n dechrau trwy siarad am dargedau, a byddwch yn gwybod fy mod wedi ymateb y bore yma i'r argymhellion a wnaed gan y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig. Rwy'n credu mai argymhellion 1 a 2 oedd yn ymwneud â thargedau, ac roeddwn yn hapus iawn i dderbyn yr argymhellion hynny. Byddaf yn cyflwyno rhai targedau, a thargedau interim hefyd, erbyn diwedd y flwyddyn galendr hon. O ran monitro, bydd hynny'n digwydd yn gyson. Y syniad o gael cynllun cyflenwi cyntaf oedd cael y ddogfen strategol drosfwaol yn y rhaglen ddileu, ond yna, o dan hynny, gael cynllun cyflawni, a all fod yn hyblyg. Felly, os bydd angen inni ymateb i batrwm newidiol, er enghraifft, byddem yn gallu gwneud hynny'n gyflym. Nid wyf yn dymuno i'r cynllun cyflenwi hwnnw fod yn ddogfen gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Rwyf yn dymuno i hynny fod ar y cyd â'r sector i raddau helaeth iawn, gyda ffermwyr a chyda'r proffesiwn milfeddygol. Byddwch yn ymwybodol o'r cynlluniau pwrpasol yr ydym yn mynd i'w cael o ran buchesi wedi'u heintio'n gronig. Mae 10 y cant o'n buchesi heintiedig yn fuchesi wedi'i heintio'n gronig, h.y. dros 18 mis - rai ohonyn nhw ers 2001. Mae'n gwbl annerbyniol, ac fe ddywedais i hyn yn fy natganiad fis Hydref diwethaf, cyn i ni fynd i ymgynghoriad, roedd angen inni edrych ar y buchesi penodol hyn sydd wedi'u heintio'n gronig. Rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr: mae tryloywder yn hanfodol, ac unwaith eto, byddwn yn monitro'n flynyddol, a byddaf yn hapus iawn i adrodd yn ôl ar hynny. O ran y dull rhanbarthol o weithredu, unwaith eto, roedd yr ymgynghoriad - roedd rhai o blaid, roedd rhai yn erbyn, ond rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig iawn bod yr ymgynghoriad hwn gennym, ac fel y dywedais yn fy natganiad, rwy'n credu ei bod o fewn ein cyrraedd i'r gogledd-orllewin, yr ardal isel honno, fod yn rhydd o TB, a byddai hynny'n wir yn cyhoeddi neges gadarnhaol iawn. Nid wyf yn dymuno rhoi mwy o faich ar ffermwyr nag sydd arnyn nhw'n barod. Dydw i ddim am weld mwy o reoleiddio. Er hynny, rydym yn dymuno sicrhau nad oes TB yng Nghymru, felly mae'n rhaid i ni gael y dull gweithredu cyfannol a newydd wrth ymdrin â'r clefyd. Roeddech chi'n gofyn am y fasnach rhwng Cymru a Lloegr ac mae swyddogion yn ddiamau wedi siarad â DEFRA a chafwyd trafodaethau am hynny. Rwy'n hapus iawn gyda'r trefniadau sydd gennym yn eu lle ar hyn o bryd. Roeddech chi'n cyfeirio at y statws prynu ar sail gwybodaeth. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n bwysig iawn. Felly, roedd gennym ryw fath o gynllun gwirfoddol, os mynnwch chi, ac rydym wedi rhoi cyllid grant i farchnadoedd da byw. Nid yw pob marchnad da byw wedi manteisio ar y cyllid grant. Byddwn yn dweud nad yw pob marchnad da byw yn dangos yr wybodaeth yr wyf yn credu y mae ei hangen ar brynwyr. Felly, rwy'n credu mai'r unig ffordd ymlaen, mewn gwirionedd, yw cynllun gorfodol, ac rwyf wedi gofyn i swyddogion edrych ar sut y gallem gyflwyno hynny. Soniais yn fy natganiad fod gwiriadau yn bwysig iawn, yn enwedig i ffermydd. Wyddoch chi, gofynnwyd y cwestiwn i mi: os ydych chi mewn ardal TB uchel ond nad yw eich buches wedi'i heintio, sut mae rhoi gwybod i bobl eraill wedyn nad yw'ch buches chi wedi cael yr haint? Felly, rwy'n credu bod gwiriadau yn ffordd ymlaen ar gyfer gwneud hynny, ac fel y dywedais , byddwn yn annog pawb i annog ffermwyr i wneud hynny. Roeddech chi'n holi am brofion ar ôl symud yn yr ardaloedd TB isel a chanolradd, a dywedais y byddwn ar 1 Hydref eleni, yn cyflwyno hynny yn yr ardal TB isel. Rwy'n credu'n syml bod angen i ni ganfod y clefyd mewn cyfnod cynharach. Nid ydym yn dymuno gweld y clefyd yn cael ei gyflwyno yn yr ardal TB isel. Rwy'n credu bod yn rhaid i ni wneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i ddiogelu rhag hynny. A chan ein bod yn gwybod am y rhan fwyaf o'r ffyrdd y mae'n cael ei ledaenu o ardaloedd TB uchel i ardaloedd TB canolradd, rwy'n bwriadu cyflwyno hyn yno'r flwyddyn nesaf. Rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr â chi am brofion bob chwe mis, ac rydym ni'n edrych ar yr ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad. Y cyngor a gefais i gan swyddfa'r prif swyddog milfeddygol oedd parhau i gynnal y profion blynyddol, ond, unwaith eto, byddwn yn amlwg yn monitro hynny. O ran y cap iawndal, £15,000 oedd hwnnw, ac o hyn ymlaen bydd yn £5,000. O edrych ar ffigurau'r llynedd, byddai hynny'n effeithio ar tua 1 y cant o ffermwyr. Er hynny, mae problem ynglŷn â gwartheg pedigri, a byddwn yn annog pobl sy'n teimlo bod ganddynt wartheg mwy gwerthfawr i ystyried yswiriant. Rydych chi'n holi ynglŷn ag adweithyddion amhendant. Unwaith eto, rydym wedi dweud y byddwn yn cael gwared â nhw yn ddi-oed yn y buchesi hynny sydd wedi'i heintio'n gronig, ond dim ond fel rhan o'r cynlluniau pwrpasol, ac mae gwaharddiad gydol oes wedi cael ei ddiystyru.
