English: Thank you for raising this really important issue, and I'm sure that we share a great deal of concern about those children who are growing up in poverty in Wales. Clearly, it shouldn't be happening; it is distressing. But it's happening all too often. The Resolution Foundation has found that those families that now are facing the cut of the £20 universal credit will be losing £1,040 a year, which is a huge amount of money, and it's actually affecting a huge number of families across Wales. One in five households will be losing that funding, and I think that is just going to push more children into poverty. But, from the Welsh Government's perspective, we do have our child poverty strategy, and that sets out our objectives for tackling child poverty through a continued focus on what we know works well. During 2019-20, the First Minister undertook a child poverty review, and that identified areas that clearly work and where we would want to invest further. And I know that you have a significant interest in free school meals, and that's an area where we know that we can make a difference to families. Part of the funding I announced yesterday will be used to support and bolster food banks and community food partnerships and community hubs, to provide a wider range of support to individuals from those settings, including income maximisation, because we know that lots of individuals and families still aren't accessing all the support to which they are entitled. So, that work will be undertaken through those projects. Also, we provided funding yesterday to establish a further 25 Big Bocs Bwyd projects across Wales to reduce food poverty, help improve nutritional intake, improve well-being, reduce food waste and increase food literacy. And the review that we've done of the existing Big Bocs Bwyd scheme has shown that it's been incredibly positive for those families who have been supported through it. So, we certainly have lots of plans already in train and lots of further investment that we will look to make in this important area.
Welsh: Diolch am godi'r mater pwysig hwn, ac rwy'n siŵr ein bod yn rhannu llawer o bryderon am y plant sy'n cael eu magu mewn tlodi yng Nghymru. Yn amlwg, ni ddylai fod yn digwydd; mae'n dorcalonnus. Ond mae'n digwydd yn rhy aml o lawer. Mae Sefydliad Resolution wedi nodi y bydd teuluoedd sydd bellach yn wynebu'r toriad o £20 i'w credyd cynhwysol yn colli £1,040 y flwyddyn, sy'n swm enfawr o arian, ac mae'n effeithio ar nifer enfawr o deuluoedd ledled Cymru. Felly, bydd un o bob pum aelwyd yn colli'r arian hwnnw, a chredaf y bydd hynny'n gwthio mwy o blant i mewn i dlodi. Ond o safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru, mae gennym ein strategaeth tlodi plant, ac mae honno'n nodi ein hamcanion ar gyfer trechu tlodi plant drwy ganolbwyntio'n barhaus ar yr hyn y gwyddom ei fod yn gweithio'n dda. Yn 2019-20, cynhaliodd y Prif Weinidog adolygiad o dlodi plant, a nododd yr adolygiad hwnnw feysydd sy'n amlwg yn gweithio a lle dylem fuddsoddi ymhellach. A gwn fod gennych gryn ddiddordeb mewn prydau ysgol am ddim, ac mae hwnnw'n faes lle gwyddom y gallwn wneud gwahaniaeth i deuluoedd. Bydd rhan o'r cyllid a gyhoeddais ddoe yn cael ei ddefnyddio i gefnogi ac atgyfnerthu banciau bwyd a phartneriaethau bwyd cymunedol a hybiau cymunedol, i ddarparu ystod ehangach o gymorth i unigolion o'r lleoliadau hynny, gan gynnwys gwneud y gorau o incwm, gan y gwyddom nad oes llawer o unigolion a theuluoedd yn cael mynediad at yr holl gymorth y mae ganddynt hawl iddo o hyd. Felly, bydd y gwaith hwnnw'n cael ei gwblhau drwy'r prosiectau hynny. Rydym hefyd wedi darparu cyllid ddoe i sefydlu 25 prosiect Bocs Bwyd Mawr arall ledled Cymru i leihau tlodi bwyd, helpu i wella cymeriant maethol, gwella llesiant, lleihau gwastraff bwyd a gwella dealltwriaeth am fwyd. Ac mae'r adolygiad a wnaethom o'r cynllun Bocs Bwyd Mawr presennol wedi dangos ei fod wedi bod yn hynod gadarnhaol i'r teuluoedd sydd wedi cael cymorth drwyddo. Felly, yn sicr, mae gennym lawer o gynlluniau eisoes ar y gweill, a llawer o fuddsoddiad pellach rydym yn bwriadu ei wneud yn y maes pwysig hwn.
