English: Thanks very much. Well, it is true that we have more staff than ever employed in the NHS in Wales. What you will be aware of is that, actually, we have never seen demands on the service like this, and if we're honest, that demand is only going to go in one direction as we have an ageing population. The demand is going to increase. So, I think we've got to be very honest about the strain on the system currently, but actually, we do need to have a very genuine conversation amongst ourselves, with the public as well, about what the implications of this are for the future. What I have done is to develop a national workforce implementation plan, and I'm pleased to say that I'm going to meet the deadline that I set myself, so it is going to be published today. Within that, there will be a whole series of actions that we plan to put in place in order to make sure that we can do more to retain the staff that we've got; to look at how we can ethically recruit nurses from overseas; to look at how we can deploy a reservist force in Wales; to look at how we can build up and develop the existing network of volunteers; and how we can create an all-Wales collaborative bank to make sure that we can create some more support to avoid paying very expensive agency nurses.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Wel, mae hi'n wir fod gennym ni fwy o staff nag a gyflogwyd erioed o'r blaen yn y GIG yng Nghymru. Yr hyn yr ydych chi'n ymwybodol ohono yw, mewn gwirionedd, na welson ni erioed alwadau fel hyn ar y gwasanaeth, ac os byddwn ni'n onest, ni wnaiff y galw hwnnw ond mynd i un cyfeiriad gan fod gennym ni boblogaeth sy'n heneiddio. Cynyddu a wna'r galw. Felly, rwy'n credu bod rhaid i ni fod yn onest iawn am y straen ar y system ar hyn o bryd, ond mewn gwirionedd, mae angen i ni gael sgwrs go iawn ymysg ein gilydd, a chyda'r cyhoedd hefyd, ynglŷn â goblygiadau hynny i'r dyfodol. Yr hyn a wnes i oedd datblygu cynllun gweithredu'r gweithlu cenedlaethol, ac rwy'n falch o ddweud y byddaf i'n gorffen erbyn y dyddiad a roddais i mi fy hun, felly fe gaiff hwnnw ei gyhoeddi heddiw. O fewn hynny, fe fydd cyfres gyfan o gamau yr ydym yn bwriadu eu rhoi ar waith i sicrhau y gallwn ni wneud mwy i gadw'r staff sydd gennym ni; ac ystyried sut y gallwn ni recriwtio nyrsys o dramor yn foesegol; ac ystyried sut y gallwn ni ddefnyddio gweithlu wrth gefn yng Nghymru; ac ystyried sut y gallwn ni feithrin a datblygu'r rhwydwaith presennol o wirfoddolwyr; a sut y gallwn ni greu banc cydweithredol i Gymru gyfan er mwyn gwneud yn siŵr y gallwn ni greu mwy o gymorth i osgoi talu am nyrsys asiantaeth sy'n gostus iawn.
English: Welsh Government continues to work with stakeholders to improve optometry services. The intended benefits brought forward by the new optometry contracted terms of service will provide a service framework fit for the future. This will be underpinned by the continued education and training of our primary care optometry workforce.
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i weithio gyda rhanddeiliaid i wella gwasanaethau optometreg. Bydd y manteision arfaethedig a gyflwynir gan y telerau gwasanaeth newydd dan gytundeb optometreg yn rhoi fframwaith i'r gwasanaeth sy'n addas i'r dyfodol. Tanategir hyn gan addysg a hyfforddiant parhaus ein gweithlu gofal sylfaenol optometreg.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister. I recently visited Gwynn's Opticians in Aberdare to find out more about independent prescribers and the new optometry contract. I was really impressed to hear about the 70 or so independent prescribers and the work that they can already do in terms of treating and diagnosing conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration, thanks to a fully funded training programme from the Welsh Government. We know that reform of the NHS to relieve pressure on our hospitals by facilitating the delivery of additional services within local communities is a key priority for the Welsh Government, so can you give us an update on preparations ahead of the official launch of the contract this summer?
Welsh: Diolch i chi am yr ateb yna, Gweinidog. Yn ddiweddar, ymwelais ag Optegwyr Gwynn yn Aberdâr i ddysgu mwy am ragnodwyr annibynnol a'r cytundeb optometreg newydd. Roeddwn wedi rhyfeddu o glywed am y 70 o ragnodwyr annibynnol a'r gwaith y maen nhw'n gallu ei wneud eisoes o ran trin a rhoi diagnosis o gyflyrau fel glawcoma a dirywiad maciwlaidd, diolch i raglen hyfforddi a ariannir yn llawn gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Rydyn ni'n gwybod bod diwygio'r GIG i leddfu pwysau ar ein hysbytai ni drwy hwyluso darparu gwasanaethau ychwanegol o fewn cymunedau lleol yn flaenoriaeth allweddol i Lywodraeth Cymru, felly a wnewch chi roi diweddariad i ni ar y paratoadau cyn lansiad swyddogol y contract yn yr haf eleni?
English: We move to item 6, a statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution on the interim report of the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales. I call on the Minister for the Constitution to make the statement - Mick Antoniw.
Welsh: Felly, eitem 6 sydd nesaf, sef y datganiad gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad ar adroddiad interim y Comisiwn Annibynnol ar Ddyfodol Cyfansoddiadol Cymru. Dwi'n galw ar Weinidog y Cyfansoddiad i wneud y datganiad - Mick Antoniw.
English: Thank you, Llywydd. Eighteen months ago, we established the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales. We asked the commission to consider and develop options for fundamental reform of the constitutional structures of the United Kingdom, in which Wales remains an integral part. We also asked them to consider and develop all progressive options to strengthen Welsh democracy and to deliver improvements for the people of Wales. The commission's task was to produce an interim report by the end of last year, with a full report by the end of this year. Before Christmas, I was pleased to inform Members that the commission had met the first of its objectives and had published its interim report. Today, I'd like to welcome that interim report, and I'd like to place on record my thanks to the commission's co-chairs, Dr Rowan Williams and Professor Laura McAllister, and all the members of the commission for their work in producing the report. The interim report is a substantial one. It is an authoritative and well-evidenced document. There was an excellent public outreach and consultation process. While the commission's work continues, it has come to an important conclusion: the status quo is 'no longer a stable basis for the future'.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Ddeunaw mis yn ôl, fe wnaethom ni sefydlu'r Comisiwn Annibynnol ar Ddyfodol Cyfansoddiadol Cymru. Gofynnon ni i'r comisiwn ystyried a datblygu opsiynau i ddiwygio trefn gyfansoddiadol y Deyrnas Unedig yn sylfaenol ond gyda Chymru yn dal i fod yn rhan annatod ohoni. Gofynnon ni hefyd iddyn nhw ystyried a datblygu pob opsiwn blaengar i gryfhau democratiaeth Cymru a gwneud pethau'n well i bobl Cymru. Tasg y comisiwn oedd llunio adroddiad interim erbyn diwedd y llynedd, gydag adroddiad llawn erbyn diwedd eleni. Cyn y Nadolig, roeddwn i'n falch o roi gwybod i'r Aelodau bod y comisiwn wedi bodloni'r amcan cyntaf ac wedi cyhoeddi adroddiad interim. Heddiw, hoffwn i groesawu'r adroddiad hwnnw gan ddiolch i ddau gadeirydd y comisiwn, Dr Rowan Williams a'r Athro Laura McAllister, a holl aelodau'r comisiwn am eu gwaith ar yr adroddiad. Mae'r adroddiad interim yn un sylweddol. Mae'n ddogfen awdurdodol gyda thystiolaeth dda. Roedd proses wych o drafod ac ymgynghori gyda'r cyhoedd. Efo gwaith y comisiwn yn parhau, mae e wedi dod i gasgliad pwysig: nid yw'r statws cwo bellach yn sail sefydlog i'r dyfodol.
English: I thank the Member very much for those very detailed questions - a large number of questions. I'll do my best to try and answer them. Perhaps I could just preface them by - . Of course, I do actually want to wait and see what the outcome of the independent commission's report is. Within our respective political parties, within our communities, within our organisations, of course we all have views. We've all been on this devolution journey for many years in different ways. I was very involved in the 1979 devolution referendum, the one no-one seems to mention, and the outcome of that was depressing. It was - . And we thought we might never ever have another referendum or that we might not ever achieve the establishment of the Assembly and then the Senedd. So, we have come an enormously long way. And it's fair to say I think, within all political parties, even within Plaid, within Welsh Labour, within UK Labour, there are a whole variety of differing views as to the principles of devolution, decentralisation of power, how it should happen and what the structure should be, just as there are differences in terms of what the UK should look like in the future. What I can say is, since I came to Wales in 1973, there is a confidence in Wales, there is a transformation in Wales, a confidence in the identity, in the language, in Wales's place within the UK and within the world, that has grown beyond anything, I think, that was ever conceivable back in those particular times. A lot of that is down to what has actually happened.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr i'r Aelod am y cwestiynau manwl iawn hynny - nifer fawr o gwestiynau. Gwnaf i fy ngorau i geisio eu hateb. Efallai y gaf i roi rhagair iddyn nhw drwy - . Wrth gwrs, rydw i wir eisiau aros i weld beth yw canlyniad adroddiad y comisiwn annibynnol. Yn ein pleidiau gwleidyddol priodol, yn ein cymunedau, yn ein sefydliadau, wrth gwrs mae gennym ni i gyd farn. Rydyn ni i gyd wedi bod ar y daith ddatganoli hon ers blynyddoedd lawer mewn gwahanol ffyrdd. Roeddwn i'n ymwneud cryn dipyn â refferendwm datganoli 1979, yr un nad oes neb i'w weld yn sôn amdano, ac roedd canlyniad hynny'n dorcalonnus. Roedd yn - . Ac roeddem ni'n meddwl efallai na fyddem ni byth yn cael refferendwm arall neu efallai na fyddem ni byth yn cyflawni sefydlu'r Senedd, y Cynulliad bryd hynny. Felly, rydyn ni wedi dod yn bell iawn. Ac mae'n deg dweud rwy'n credu, o fewn pob plaid wleidyddol, hyd yn oed o fewn Plaid Cymru, o fewn Llafur Cymru, o fewn Llafur y DU, fod yna amrywiaeth eang o safbwyntiau gwahanol o ran egwyddorion datganoli, datganoli grym, sut y dylai ddigwydd a beth y dylai'r strwythur fod, yn union fel mae yna wahaniaethau o ran sut y dylai'r DU edrych yn y dyfodol. Yr hyn y gallaf i ei ddweud yw, ers i mi ddod i Gymru yn 1973, mae yna hyder yng Nghymru, mae yna drawsnewidiad yng Nghymru, hyder yn yr hunaniaeth, yn yr iaith, yn lle Cymru yn y DU ac yn y byd, mae hynny wedi tyfu y tu hwnt i unrhyw beth, rwy'n credu, ni chafodd hynny erioed ei ddychmygu nôl yn yr amseroedd penodol hynny. Mae llawer o hynny yn ymwneud a'r hyn sydd wedi digwydd mewn gwirionedd.
English: I welcome this debate this afternoon. It will not come as any surprise that, as Chair of the committee with constitutional matters as a core part of its remit, I am contributing today. As a committee, we have not considered the report in detail, but we have discussed it briefly last week in advance of today's statement. My focus this afternoon will be to highlight matters within the interim report that are likely to be of interest to my committee in the months ahead.
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'r ddadl y prynhawn yma. Ni fydd o unrhyw syndod fy mod i, fel Cadeirydd pwyllgor sydd â materion cyfansoddiadol yn rhan greiddiol o'i gylch gwaith, yn cyfrannu heddiw. Fel pwyllgor, nid ydym wedi ystyried yr adroddiad yn fanwl, ond rydym wedi ei drafod yn fyr yr wythnos diwethaf cyn y datganiad heddiw. Fy ffocws y prynhawn yma fydd tynnu sylw at faterion o fewn yr adroddiad interim sy'n debygol o fod o ddiddordeb i fy mhwyllgor yn y misoedd nesaf.
English: We're almost out of time for this statement. I have quite a few Members who are keen to ask questions, so if we can keep questions and answers as succinct as possible, then I'll get through as many Members as possible.
Welsh: Mae ein hamser ar fin dod i ben gyfer y datganiad hwn. Mae gen i nifer o Aelodau sy'n awyddus i ofyn cwestiynau, felly os allwn ni gadw cwestiynau ac atebion mor gryno â phosib, yna gallaf glywed gan gynifer o Aelodau â phosibl.
English: Point taken.
Welsh: O'r gorau.
English: Thank you for listening, Minister. James Evans.
Welsh: Diolch am wrando, Gweinidog. James Evans.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. I'd like to thank the Minister for his statement from the commission, or as I like to call it the independent commission for independence sympathisers, judging by who the commissioners are. I've never read, I don't think, such a biased document against the UK Government and against the union of the United Kingdom. I think, Minister, that we all agree and recognise that there do need to be some constitutional changes across the United Kingdom. We've looked at that in the legislation committee, and it needs to be looked at. But as my colleague Darren Millar said, this needs to be done with a UK-wide approach, with every devolved Government and every devolved Parliament feeding into that process, because doing it in isolation will go nowhere. So, I want to know what conversations you've had with other Governments across the United Kingdom about having an actual commission that looks at everything in the round, to bring it together so that we can have meaningful change, and not a commission here that just keeps people in Plaid Cymru happy pushing an independence narrative, which, I'm afraid to burst their bubble, is going nowhere.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Hoffwn ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ddatganiad gan y comisiwn, neu'r hyn rwy'n hoff o'i alw'n gomisiwn annibynnol ar gyfer cydymdeimlwyr annibyniaeth, a barnu yn ôl pwy yw'r comisiynwyr. Dydw i ddim yn meddwl fy mod i erioed wedi darllen dogfen mor rhagfarnllyd yn erbyn Llywodraeth y DU ac yn erbyn undeb y Deyrnas Unedig. Rwy'n credu, Gweinidog, bod pob un ohonom yn cytuno ac yn cydnabod bod angen gwneud rhai newidiadau cyfansoddiadol ledled y Deyrnas Unedig. Rydym wedi edrych ar hynny yn y pwyllgor deddfwriaeth, ac mae angen edrych arno. Ond fel y dywedodd fy nghyd-Aelod, Darren Millar, mae angen gwneud hyn gyda dull gweithredu ledled y DU, gyda phob Llywodraeth ddatganoledig a phob Senedd ddatganoledig yn bwydo i mewn i'r broses honno, oherwydd ni fydd ei wneud ar wahân yn mynd i unman. Felly, rwyf eisiau gwybod pa sgyrsiau rydych chi wedi eu cael gyda llywodraethau eraill ledled y Deyrnas Unedig am gael comisiwn gwirioneddol sy'n edrych ar bopeth yn ei gyfanrwydd, i ddod ag ef at ei gilydd er mwyn i ni gael newid ystyrlon, ac nid comisiwn yn y fan yma sydd dim ond yn cadw pobl yn Plaid Cymru yn hapus yn gwthio naratif annibyniaeth, sy'n mynd i unman, mae gen i ofn.
English: I welcome the interim report and echo some, not all, of the comments that we've heard in this Chamber this afternoon. I'd like to concentrate my contribution on a small aspect of what you've said this afternoon, Minister. Can we ban the use of the words 'progressive' and 'radical' when referring to the Gordon Brown proposals? They are anything but radical or progressive. Giving us control of youth justice and the probation service on their own is simply not good enough. It will not alter what Dr Rob Jones and Professor Richard Wyn Jones of the Wales Governance Centre have termed 'the jagged edge'. Only full devolution of the criminal justice system will allow us to make the substantial changes that are desperately needed. This retrograde position from Brown and Labour is a far cry from the stated ambition of the co-operation agreement for the full devolution of justice and policing in Wales. You may remember this not only follows the recommendations of the Welsh Government-established Thomas commission, but also featured in the Labour Party's manifestos of 2017 and 2019 in the general elections. What has changed? Does Gordon Brown take Wales seriously, or are we just an afterthought?
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'r adroddiad interim ac yn adleisio rhai, nid pob un, o'r sylwadau yr ydym wedi'u clywed yn y Siambr hon y prynhawn yma. Hoffwn ganolbwyntio fy nghyfraniad ar agwedd fach o'r hyn yr ydych wedi'i ddweud y prynhawn yma, Gweinidog. A allwn wahardd y defnydd o'r geiriau 'blaengar' a 'radical' wrth gyfeirio at gynigion Gordon Brown? Maent bopeth ond radical neu flaengar. Yn syml, nid yw rhoi rheolaeth i ni dros gyfiawnder ieuenctid a'r gwasanaeth prawf yn unig yn ddigon da. Ni fydd yn newid yr hyn y mae Dr Rob Jones a'r Athro Richard Wyn Jones o Ganolfan Llywodraethiant Cymru wedi ei alw'n 'the jagged edge'. Dim ond datganoli llawn o'r system gyfiawnder troseddol fydd yn caniatáu inni wneud y newidiadau sylweddol sydd wir eu hangen. Mae'r cam hwn yn ôl gan Brown a Llafur yn fyd o wahaniaeth rhwng uchelgais datganedig y cytundeb cydweithredu ar gyfer datganoli holl faterion cyfiawnder a phlismona yng Nghymru. Efallai eich bod yn cofio hyn nid yn unig yn dilyn argymhellion comisiwn Thomas a sefydlwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ond hefyd ym maniffestos y Blaid Lafur yn 2017 a 2019 yn yr etholiadau cyffredinol. Beth sydd wedi newid? Ydy Gordon Brown yn cymryd Cymru o ddifrif, neu ai ôl-ystyriaeth ydyn ni?
English: Thank you for your comments, Peredur. I actually think the Gordon Brown report is progressive. It's progressive because it talks about additional powers here; it talks about providing a constitutional framework to protect devolution and to protect the Sewel process; it talks about an unlimited subsidiarity as a fundamental principle - that power should be as close to the people as possible and it is only for the extent of what the interdependencies are that we have to have democratic governance; and the fact that there are no closed doors. This seems to me to be pretty progressive, and it seems to me pretty radical. If you adopt what I would sort of call the 'shopping-list approach' to devolution, where you have a whole list of things and you tick them and so on, well, maybe there are those who would not be happy with that approach. I suppose what I would say is, having been involved in the process of trying to organise and support decentralisation of power and devolution since the early 1970s, I see what is happening as something that is of significant change if it moves us forward. Maybe it doesn't move us forward as quickly as some would like, maybe it doesn't even move as quickly as I would like, but I think the proposals within it are pretty fundamental, and if they were implemented, I think it would result in significant change in terms of the devolution settlement, and greater devolution stability and coherence.
Welsh: Diolch am eich sylwadau, Peredur. Mewn gwirionedd, rwy'n credu bod adroddiad Gordon Brown yn flaengar. Mae'n flaengar gan ei fod yn sôn am bwerau ychwanegol yma; mae'n sôn am ddarparu fframwaith cyfansoddiadol i ddiogelu datganoli ac i warchod y broses Sewel; mae'n sôn am egwyddor ddiderfyn fel egwyddor sylfaenol - y dylai pŵer fod mor agos at y bobl â phosibl a dim ond oherwydd graddau'r gyd-ddibyniaeth y mae'n rhaid i ni gael trefniadau llywodraethu democrataidd; a'r ffaith nad oes drysau caeedig. Ymddengys i mi fod hyn yn eithaf blaengar, ac ymddengys i mi ei fod yn eithaf radical. Os ydych yn mabwysiadu'r hyn fyddwn i'n ei alw'n rhyw fath o 'ddull rhestr siopa' i ddatganoli, lle mae gennych restr gyfan o bethau ac rydych yn eu ticio ac yn y blaen, wel, efallai fod yna rai na fyddai'n hapus gyda'r dull hwnnw. Mae'n debyg mai'r hyn fyddwn i'n ei ddweud yw, ar ôl bod yn rhan o'r broses o geisio trefnu a chefnogi datganoli pŵer a datganoli ers dechrau'r 1970au, rwy'n gweld beth sy'n digwydd fel rhywbeth sydd o newid sylweddol os yw'n ein symud ni yn ein blaenau. Efallai nad yw'n ein symud ymlaen mor gyflym ag y byddai rhai yn ei hoffi, efallai nad yw hyd yn oed yn symud mor gyflym ag yr hoffwn, ond rwy'n credu bod y cynigion o fewn y broses yn eithaf sylfaenol, a phe baent yn cael eu rhoi ar waith, rwy'n credu y byddai'n arwain at newid sylweddol o ran y setliad datganoli, a mwy o sefydlogrwydd a chydlyniad datganoli.
English: We have to move away from piecemeal devolution, with Plaid Cymru believing we can salami-slice to independence, the Conservatives that we can stop it going any further, and many looking to move devolution backwards. An example is policing: devolved to Scotland, Northern Ireland, Manchester and London, but not to Wales. We have directly elected mayors in England; in fact, Bristol has a directly elected mayor, and so does the West of England, including Bristol. Whilst where power and responsibility lie in the USA and Germany is clear - it being the same in each state or Länder - in Britain, it's complicated. I was going to use the word 'chaotic', and I think I probably prefer that word. Asymmetric devolution does not work; just look at what's happened in Spain, the only other country that's gone ahead with asymmetric devolution - it's got exactly the same problems as we have. Does the Minister agree there is a need to create a coherent model for the whole of the UK, as has been created in the USA and Germany, and that we need to do it urgently? We just cannot carry on like this.
Welsh: Mae'n rhaid i ni symud i ffwrdd o ddatganoli tameidiog, gyda Phlaid Cymru'n credu y gallwn wneud toriadau tameidiog tuag at annibyniaeth, y Ceidwadwyr y gallwn ni ei atal rhag mynd ymhellach, a llawer yn ceisio symud datganoli tuag yn ôl. Un enghraifft yw plismona: wedi ei ddatganoli i'r Alban, Gogledd Iwerddon, Manceinion a Llundain, ond nid i Gymru. Rydym wedi ethol meiri yn uniongyrchol yn Lloegr; a dweud y gwir, mae gan Fryste faer wedi'i ethol yn uniongyrchol, a Gorllewin Lloegr hefyd, gan gynnwys Bryste. Er bod pŵer a chyfrifoldeb yn yr UDA a'r Almaen yn glir - mae'r un peth ym mhob gwladwriaeth neu Länder - ym Mhrydain, mae'n gymhleth. Roeddwn i'n mynd i ddefnyddio'r gair 'anhrefnus', ac rwy'n meddwl bod yn well gen i'r gair hwnnw, yn ôl pob tebyg. Nid yw datganoli anghymesur yn gweithio; edrychwch ar beth ddigwyddodd yn Sbaen, yr unig wlad arall sydd wedi mynd ati gyda datganoli anghymesur - mae ganddi'r union broblemau â ni. A yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno bod angen creu model cydlynol ar gyfer y DU gyfan, fel sydd wedi'i greu yn yr UDA a'r Almaen, a bod angen i ni ei wneud ar fyrder? Ni allwn barhau fel hyn.
