English: Well, I'm delighted that the Member is pleased with the results of the investment in Betws, Calon y Cymoedd, Pencoed Primary School, which is another one I'm sure the Member is very pleased to see. Hopefully the children will take pride in and thrive in those buildings. I believe it is so important that we demonstrate to our children and our educators that we believe in them and that we want to invest in them by providing them with the very best facilities for them to learn and work in. The Member makes a good point with regard to leadership. No education system can exceed the quality of those who lead it, whether that be in individual schools, whether that be in our local authorities or, indeed, in Welsh Government. And, because of that, we have invested in the creation of the National Academy for Educational Leadership, a first for Wales, which is working with its second cohort of headteachers, which is evaluating and accrediting new leadership programmes so that there is a national standard across all of Wales for professional development opportunities for leaders. It's starting at the moment with new and aspiring heads, but we will be developing a programme for existing headteachers as well as looking at the potential to provide leadership and professional learning for governors, for local authorities and others who are involved in providing that strategic vision for education of whatever level they currently are working at.
Welsh: Wel, rwyf wrth fy modd fod yr Aelod yn falch gyda chanlyniadau'r buddsoddiad yn Betws, Calon y Cymoedd, Ysgol Gynradd Pencoed, sy'n un arall y mae'r Aelod yn falch iawn o'i gweld, rwy'n siŵr. Gobeithio y bydd y plant yn ymfalchïo ac yn ffynnu yn yr adeiladau hynny. Credaf ei bod mor bwysig inni ddangos i'n plant a'n haddysgwyr ein bod yn credu ynddynt a'n bod am fuddsoddi ynddynt drwy ddarparu'r cyfleusterau gorau iddynt ddysgu a gweithio ynddynt. Mae'r Aelod yn gwneud pwynt da o ran arweinyddiaeth. Ni all unrhyw system addysg wneud yn well nag ansawdd y rhai sy'n ei harwain, boed hynny mewn ysgolion unigol, yn ein hawdurdodau lleol, neu'n wir, yn Llywodraeth Cymru. Ac oherwydd hynny, rydym wedi buddsoddi yn y gwaith o greu'r Academi Genedlaethol ar gyfer Arweinyddiaeth Addysgol, y gyntaf o'i bath yng Nghymru, sy'n gweithio gyda'i hail garfan o benaethiaid, ac sy'n gwerthuso ac yn achredu rhaglenni arweinyddiaeth newydd er mwyn cael safon genedlaethol drwy Gymru gyfan ar gyfer cyfleoedd datblygiad proffesiynol i arweinwyr. Mae'n dechrau ar hyn o bryd gyda phenaethiaid newydd a darpar benaethiaid, ond byddwn yn datblygu rhaglen ar gyfer y rheini sydd eisoes yn benaethiaid yn ogystal ag edrych ar y potensial i ddarparu arweinyddiaeth a dysgu proffesiynol i lywodraethwyr, i awdurdodau lleol ac i eraill sy'n ymwneud â'r gwaith o ddarparu'r weledigaeth strategol ar gyfer addysg ar ba lefel bynnag y maent yn gweithio arni ar hyn o bryd.
English: Our national mission is to deliver an education system that is a source of national pride and which enjoys public confidence. In partnership with local authorities and the regions, we are delivering high-quality educational opportunities across the whole of our nation, ensuring every learner has their chance to reach their full potential.
Welsh: Cenhadaeth ein cenedl yw darparu system addysg sy'n ennyn hyder y cyhoedd ac sy'n destun balchder cenedlaethol. Mewn partneriaeth ag awdurdodau lleol a'r rhanbarthau, rydym yn darparu cyfleoedd addysgol o ansawdd uchel ledled ein gwlad, gan sicrhau bod pob dysgwr yn cael cyfle i gyflawni eu potensial llawn.
English: Thank you. The Learning and Work Institute's youth opportunity index provides an invaluable insight into the opportunities available to our young people across Wales. Having considered the findings, however, I cannot disagree with the institute's conclusion that there are some stark inequalities across Wales. It has shown that young people are more likely to have fewer qualifications and have poorer access to higher level study in the most economically deprived areas in Wales, a good example being Conwy, which has a relatively strong higher education index score of 81; Flintshire is less than half of this. Minister, the index does seem to indicate that opportunities in education remain unevenly distributed across Wales. What measures are you taking to address this?
Welsh: Diolch. Mae mynegai cyfleoedd ieuenctid y Sefydliad Dysgu a Gwaith yn rhoi cipolwg gwerthfawr ar y cyfleoedd sydd ar gael i'n pobl ifanc ledled Cymru. Fodd bynnag, ar ôl ystyried y canfyddiadau, ni allaf anghytuno â chasgliad y sefydliad fod rhai anghydraddoldebau amlwg i'w cael ledled Cymru. Mae wedi dangos bod pobl ifanc yn fwy tebygol o fod â llai o gymwysterau a llai o fynediad at gyfleoedd astudio lefel uwch yn yr ardaloedd mwyaf economaidd ddifreintiedig yng Nghymru, ac mae Conwy yn enghraifft dda, ardal â sgôr mynegai addysg uwch cymharol gryf o 81; mae sgôr Sir y Fflint yn llai na hanner y ffigur hwn. Weinidog, ymddengys bod y mynegai'n dangos bod cyfleoedd mewn addysg yn parhau i fod wedi'u dosbarthu'n anghyson ledled Cymru. Pa fesurau rydych yn eu rhoi ar waith i fynd i'r afael â hyn?
English: Well, as I referred to earlier, we are providing unprecedented amounts of financial support to educate children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds via our pupil development grant. We continue to maintain education maintenance allowance for those children from a poorer background, allowing them to be able to stay on in school or in further education, and we have introduced the most generous system of maintenance grant support for those people from a poorer background who want to study at a higher education level. Of course, it should not be the case that a pupil's destiny is dictated by the size of their parents' bank balance, but I have to say to the Member who sits on those benches: the effects of poverty on a child's education are devastating, and the schools I go to say to me that it is getting worse and worse every year, and we are trying to pick up the pieces and mitigate for that in our school system, and the Member should be mindful of that when she asks such questions.
Welsh: Wel, fel y soniais yn gynharach, rydym yn darparu symiau digynsail o gymorth ariannol i addysgu plant o gefndiroedd economaidd-gymdeithasol is drwy ein grant datblygu disgyblion. Rydym yn parhau i gynnal lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg ar gyfer plant o gefndir tlotach, i ganiatáu iddynt allu aros yn yr ysgol neu mewn addysg bellach, ac rydym wedi cyflwyno'r system fwyaf hael o gymorth grant cynhaliaeth i bobl o gefndir tlotach sy'n awyddus i astudio ar lefel addysg uwch. Wrth gwrs, ni ddylai balans banc eu rhieni bennu tynged disgybl, ond mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud wrth yr Aelod sy'n eistedd ar y meinciau hynny: mae effeithiau tlodi ar addysg plentyn yn ddinistriol, ac mae'r ysgolion rwy'n ymweld â hwy'n dweud ei fod yn gwaethygu bob blwyddyn, ac rydym yn ceisio lleddfu a lliniaru hynny yn ein system ysgolion, a dylai'r Aelod gadw hynny mewn cof pan fydd yn gofyn cwestiynau o'r fath.
English: The next item is questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services, and the first question is from Jack Sargeant.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf felly yw'r cwestiynau i'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Jack Sargeant.
English: Thank you for the question. The Welsh Government is committed to working in partnership with NHS Wales employers and trade unions through the Welsh partnership forum to support staff with mental health problems. This is in line with the NHS Wales core principles and the quadruple aim of 'A Healthier Wales' for a motivated and sustainable health and social care workforce.
Welsh: Diolch am eich cwestiwn. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i weithio mewn partneriaeth â chyflogwyr GIG Cymru ac undebau llafur drwy fforwm partneriaeth Cymru i gefnogi staff â phroblemau iechyd meddwl. Mae hyn yn unol ag egwyddorion craidd GIG Cymru a nod pedwarplyg 'Cymru Iachach' ar gyfer gweithlu iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol brwdfrydig a chynaliadwy.
English: Can I think the Minister for that reply? I wanted to raise this issue because we know that mental health-related issues in the NHS are obviously an issue, as they are in all workplaces, and although we have the support networks in place, I'm sure Members will agree with me that we can always do more. Llywydd, sometimes we have to draw on the most tragic circumstances to act. Shocking figures recently revealed online show that more than 300 NHS nurses have committed suicide over the border in England in just seven years. The highest on record was 54 in 2015. Minister, would you agree with me that ensuring we have the right support for NHS staff is very important, not only for patient safety, but also to ensure that we reach our ambitions as outlined in the Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016? Can I also ask the Government to redouble its efforts to support our heroic NHS staff here in Wales who every day look out for others, so it's only right that we all look after them?
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ateb? Roeddwn yn awyddus i godi'r mater hwn gan y gwyddom fod materion sy'n gysylltiedig ag iechyd meddwl yn y GIG yn amlwg yn broblem, fel y maent ym mhob gweithle, ac er bod y rhwydweithiau cymorth gennym ar waith, rwy'n siŵr y bydd yr Aelodau'n cytuno â mi y gallwn wneud mwy bob amser. Lywydd, weithiau mae'n rhaid i'r amgylchiadau mwyaf trasig ein hysgogi i weithredu. Dengys ffigurau syfrdanol a ddatgelwyd ar-lein yn ddiweddar fod mwy na 300 o nyrsys y GIG wedi cyflawni hunanladdiad dros y ffin yn Lloegr mewn saith mlynedd yn unig. Y nifer uchaf erioed oedd 54 yn 2015. Weinidog, a fyddech yn cytuno â mi fod sicrhau bod gennym y gefnogaeth gywir i staff y GIG yn bwysig iawn, nid yn unig ar gyfer diogelwch cleifion, ond hefyd i sicrhau ein bod yn cyflawni ein huchelgeisiau fel yr amlinellir yn Neddf Lefelau Staff Nyrsio (Cymru) 2016? A gaf fi ofyn hefyd i'r Llywodraeth ddyblu ei hymdrechion i gefnogi staff arwrol ein GIG yma yng Nghymru, sy'n gofalu am bobl eraill bob dydd, felly nid yw ond yn deg ein bod ni oll yn gofalu amdanynt hwy?
English: Yes, I'm happy to give the commitment about the Government's approach to supporting our staff within the health service. That goes into not just wanting to recruit the right numbers of staff across the service but also the additional investment we're making in training. I'm pleased to confirm that on the nurse staffing levels Act we are taking forward our commitment to roll out the Act, as well as making sure the duties are real in the first area we've chosen. And in terms of the broader support that the NHS should provide as an employer - the largest employer within Wales - that is a particular focus of activity within the partnership forum. One of the things I'm looking at is a well-being service introduced in Swansea Bay University Health Board. That's a Bevan exemplar project and it's been taken forward to the partnership forum as part of their consideration of best practice to try and further include the support we do give to our NHS staff.
Welsh: Ie, rwy'n fwy na pharod i roi'r ymrwymiad ynglŷn ag ymagwedd y Llywodraeth at gefnogi ein staff yn y gwasanaeth iechyd. Mae hynny'n ymwneud nid yn unig â recriwtio'r niferoedd cywir o staff ar draws y gwasanaeth, ond hefyd y buddsoddiad ychwanegol a wnawn mewn hyfforddiant. Rwy'n falch o gadarnhau ein bod, mewn perthynas â Deddf lefelau staff nyrsio, yn bwrw ymlaen â'n hymrwymiad i gyflwyno'r Ddeddf, yn ogystal â sicrhau bod y dyletswyddau'n real yn y maes cyntaf rydym wedi'i ddewis. Ac o ran y gefnogaeth ehangach y dylai'r GIG ei darparu fel cyflogwr - y cyflogwr mwyaf yng Nghymru - mae hynny'n ffocws gweithgarwch penodol yn y fforwm partneriaeth. Un o'r pethau rwy'n edrych arnynt yw gwasanaeth lles a ddarperir ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Bae Abertawe. Mae hwnnw'n un o brosiectau enghreifftiol Comisiwn Bevan ac mae wedi'i gyflwyno i'r fforwm partneriaeth fel rhan o'u hystyriaeth o arferion gorau i geisio cynnwys y cymorth a roddwn i'n staff GIG ymhellach.
English: I'm pleased this issue has been raised. Clearly, mental health is an issue that affects all areas, but our NHS staff clearly are vulnerable to the effects of it. You mentioned there - I think it was the Swansea area that you said there's an element of good practice. It's obviously important that that good practice is rolled out across the rest of Wales as soon as possible. So, could you tell us what steps you're taking to make sure that where there is good practice in a local health board other health boards that might not be experiencing such good practice are able to benefit from the lessons that have been learned?
Welsh: Rwy'n falch fod y mater hwn wedi'i godi. Yn amlwg, mae iechyd meddwl yn fater sy'n effeithio ar bob maes, ond mae'n amlwg fod staff ein GIG yn agored i'w effeithiau. Fe sonioch chi - credaf mai yn ardal Abertawe y dywedoch fod yna elfen o arferion da. Mae'n amlwg yn bwysig fod yr arferion da hynny'n cael eu cyflwyno ledled gweddill Cymru cyn gynted â phosibl. Felly, a allech ddweud wrthym pa gamau rydych yn eu cymryd i sicrhau, lle ceir arferion da mewn bwrdd iechyd lleol, y gall byrddau iechyd eraill nad ydynt o bosibl yn arddangos arferion da o'r fath elwa o'r gwersi a ddysgwyd?
English: Yes, I'm happy to expand further because it's a good example of how we do use our system here in Wales. The partnership forum draws together the Government, employers and trade unions. So, the partnership forum is already taking steps to look at that good practice, to draw it together, and then to try to make sure that the recently agreed policy on managing absence in the workplace that does look at prevention and supporting people to return to work earlier and to remain in work if at all possible is actually supported by practical examples of good practice, to make sure people are aware, and we then understand how the good practice is being properly rolled out across our services. So, it's a good example of looking at evidence, looking at best practice, in order to learn from it right across the system.
Welsh: Ie, rwy'n fwy na pharod i ehangu ymhellach gan ei bod yn enghraifft dda o sut rydym yn defnyddio ein system yma yng Nghymru. Mae'r fforwm partneriaeth yn dod â'r Llywodraeth, cyflogwyr ac undebau llafur ynghyd. Felly, mae'r fforwm partneriaeth eisoes yn cymryd camau i edrych ar yr arferion da hynny, eu dwyn ynghyd, a cheisio sicrhau wedyn fod y polisi a gytunwyd yn ddiweddar ar reoli absenoldeb yn y gweithle sy'n edrych ar atal, a chynorthwyo pobl i ddychwelyd i'r gwaith yn gynharach ac i aros yn eu gwaith os oes modd, yn cael ei gefnogi gan enghreifftiau ymarferol o arferion da, i sicrhau bod pobl yn ymwybodol, ac yna ein bod ni'n deall sut y mae'r arferion da'n cael eu cyflwyno'n briodol ar draws ein gwasanaethau. Felly, mae'n enghraifft dda o edrych ar dystiolaeth, edrych ar arferion gorau, er mwyn dysgu o hynny ar draws y system.
English: I'm sure the Minister will agree with me that staff can suffer considerably from stress at times of service change, even if that service change will eventually deliver, potentially, improvements in their own working terms and conditions. The health committee this morning heard from the Velindre University NHS Trust who seem to have a very positive and proactive approach to managing their staff stress through times of necessary service change, and a good understanding, I thought, of the pressures that those staff will face even though the staff themselves acknowledge that those changes will be changes for the better. What further steps can the Minister take - potentially through the partnership forum as he's already referred to that in his answers to Nick Ramsay and to Jack Sargeant - to ensure that where there is good practice in the NHS around supporting staff through service change that that is shared, and that those inevitably stressful periods are effectively managed so we don't risk situations where what is inevitably challenging actually turns into a situation that is actually bad for somebody's mental health and well-being?
Welsh: Rwy'n siŵr y bydd y Gweinidog yn cytuno â mi y gall staff ddioddef yn sylweddol o straen ar adegau o newid gwasanaeth, hyd yn oed os bydd y newid hwnnw i wasanaeth yn cyflawni gwelliannau yn y pen draw, o ran eu telerau ac amodau gwaith eu hunain. Clywodd y pwyllgor iechyd y bore yma gan Ymddiriedolaeth GIG Prifysgol Felindre, gan yr ymddengys bod ganddynt ymagwedd gadarnhaol a rhagweithiol iawn at reoli straen eu staff drwy gyfnod o newid gwasanaeth angenrheidiol, a dealltwriaeth dda, yn fy marn i, o'r pwysau y bydd y staff hynny'n ei wynebu, er bod y staff eu hunain yn cydnabod y bydd y newidiadau hynny'n newidiadau er gwell. Pa gamau pellach y gall y Gweinidog eu cymryd - drwy'r fforwm partneriaeth, o bosibl, gan ei fod eisoes wedi cyfeirio at hwnnw yn ei atebion i Nick Ramsay ac i Jack Sargeant - i sicrhau, lle ceir arferion da yn y GIG o ran cefnogi staff drwy gyfnod o newid gwasanaeth, eu bod yn cael eu rhannu, a bod y cyfnodau hynny o straen anochel yn cael eu rheoli'n effeithiol fel nad ydym mewn perygl o wynebu sefyllfaoedd lle mae'r hyn sy'n anochel yn heriol yn troi'n sefyllfa sy'n ddrwg i iechyd meddwl a lles rhywun?
English: I fully recognise there are different points of stress within the life of staff within our national health service, and for those in particular who deal with emergency aspects or end-of-life aspects there's particular stress that goes along with that. Any element of service change is unsettling for any group of staff in any particular part of business, industry or the voluntary sector. So, we are looking to deliberately learn from that through the partnership forum, but also to learn from where that service change has already taken place and is taking place. We're seeing significant service change taking place within Hywel Dda, and what has changed significantly from the last time service change was proposed is there's been much greater engagement with staff at the start of that process. You will recall when you were an Assembly Member previously, that, actually, lots of staff within Hywel Dda did not feel they were engaged in those discussions. And even now, when there's much greater agreement on what the future will look like, there are still challenges to work with. And Aneurin Bevan is another good example. We're changing the system in Aneurin Bevan, with the creation of the new Grange University Hospital, and assess that there's change in other parts of the whole healthcare system. So, we are learning about what is happening now as well as in the past. The partnership forum is exactly the place to make sure that learning is shared across the whole of Wales.
Welsh: Rwy'n llwyr gydnabod bod gwahanol adegau o straen ym mywydau staff ein gwasanaeth iechyd gwladol, ac yn arbennig i'r rheini sy'n ymdrin ag agweddau brys neu agweddau diwedd oes, mae straen penodol ynghlwm wrth hynny. Mae unrhyw elfen o newid gwasanaeth yn annifyr i unrhyw grŵp o staff mewn unrhyw ran benodol o fusnes, diwydiant neu'r sector gwirfoddol. Felly, rydym yn awyddus i ddysgu'n fwriadol o hynny drwy'r fforwm partneriaeth, ond hefyd i ddysgu o ble mae'r newid gwasanaeth hwnnw eisoes wedi digwydd, ac yn digwydd ar hyn o bryd. Rydym yn gweld newid sylweddol yn y gwasanaeth yn Hywel Dda, a'r hyn sydd wedi newid yn sylweddol ers y tro diwethaf i newid gwasanaeth gael ei argymell yw y cafwyd llawer mwy o ymgysylltiad â staff ar ddechrau'r broses honno. Fe fyddwch yn cofio, pan oeddech yn Aelod Cynulliad o'r blaen, fod llawer o'r staff yn Hywel Dda yn teimlo nad oeddent yn rhan o'r trafodaethau hynny mewn gwirionedd. A hyd yn oed yn awr, pan fo llawer mwy o gytuno ar sut y bydd pethau yn y dyfodol, mae yna heriau i weithio arnynt o hyd. Ac mae Aneurin Bevan yn enghraifft dda arall. Rydym yn newid y system yn Aneurin Bevan wrth greu Ysbyty Athrofaol newydd y Grange, ac yn asesu bod newid i'w gael mewn rhannau eraill o'r system gofal iechyd yn ei chyfanrwydd. Felly, rydym yn dysgu am yr hyn sy'n digwydd yn awr yn ogystal ag yn y gorffennol. Y fforwm partneriaeth yw'r union le i sicrhau bod dysgu'n cael ei rannu ledled Cymru gyfan.
English: Thank you for the question. Our support for people living with all neurological conditions is set out within our neurological conditions delivery plan. The vision is for people with a neurological condition to have timely access to fully integrated primary, community, secondary and specialist care designed around the needs of the individual person.
Welsh: Diolch am eich cwestiwn. Nodir ein cefnogaeth i bobl sy'n byw gyda phob cyflwr niwrolegol yn ein cynllun cyflawni ar gyfer cyflyrau niwrolegol. Y weledigaeth yw i bobl sydd â chyflwr niwrolegol gael mynediad amserol at ofal sylfaenol, cymunedol, eilaidd ac arbenigol cwbl integredig wedi'i gynllunio o amgylch anghenion yr unigolyn.
English: Okay. Thank you very much for that reply. As you will know, I chair the cross-party group on muscular dystrophy and we spend a lot of time talking about how clinicians deal with, or don't have the capacity to deal with, the particular condition. In one example in west Wales, one woman said a clinician tried to give her medication that was incompatible with her condition that could've led to creating very serious harm. Another gentleman from mid Wales said that he actually doesn't bother calling the local hospital or any emergency service because of the lack of understanding in that particular hospital of anything to do with his condition. Obviously I'll write to you with those individual concerns, but I was wondering if you would agree to come and meet with the cross-party group in future to see how you can understand what is being discussed there and how we can build resilience in the system, so that there are more clinicians with an understanding of muscular dystrophy, if not a specialism, so that they can aid and help them feel more comfortable when they enter that setting.
Welsh: Iawn. Diolch yn fawr iawn am eich ateb. Fel y gwyddoch, rwy'n cadeirio'r grŵp trawsbleidiol ar ddystroffi cyhyrol ac rydym yn treulio llawer o amser yn sôn ynglŷn â sut y mae clinigwyr yn ymdrin â, neu sut nad oes ganddynt allu i ymdrin â'r cyflwr penodol hwn. Mewn un enghraifft yng ngorllewin Cymru, dywedodd un ddynes fod clinigydd wedi ceisio rhoi meddyginiaeth iddi a oedd yn anghydnaws â'i chyflwr ac a allai fod wedi arwain at niwed difrifol iawn. Dywedodd gŵr arall o ganolbarth Cymru nad yw'n trafferthu ffonio'r ysbyty lleol nac unrhyw wasanaeth brys mewn gwirionedd oherwydd y diffyg dealltwriaeth yn yr ysbyty penodol hwnnw o unrhyw beth sy'n ymwneud â'i gyflwr. Yn amlwg, byddaf yn ysgrifennu atoch gyda'r pryderon unigol hynny, ond tybed a wnewch chi gytuno i ddod i gyfarfod â'r grŵp trawsbleidiol yn y dyfodol i weld sut y gallwch ddeall yr hyn sy'n cael ei drafod yno a sut y gallwn adeiladu cydnerthedd yn y system, fel bod mwy o glinigwyr yn deall dystroffi cyhyrol, os nad yn arbenigo ar y cyflwr, fel y gallant eu cynorthwyo a'u helpu i deimlo'n fwy cyfforddus pan fyddant yn mynd i'r lleoliad hwnnw.
