English: Minister, may I ask for a statement from the Minister for health about hospital maintenance in Wales? According to a recent report, the seven health boards in Wales face a bill of at least £260 million for urgent repairs and refurbishments, out of a total repair bill of more than £500 million. In my own health board area, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, which is one of the better performing areas, over £23 million of urgent repairs are required, out of a total sum of only £100 million. So, please can we have a statement from the Minister on what action he will take to address this serious issue to put our hospitals in the right order, to make our people's health better and the hospitals also? Thank you.
Welsh: Gweinidog, a gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd ynghylch cynnal a chadw ysbytai yng Nghymru? Yn ôl adroddiad diweddar, mae'r saith Bwrdd Iechyd yng Nghymru yn wynebu bil o £260 miliwn o leiaf am waith atgyweirio ac adnewyddu brys, allan o gyfanswm bil atgyweirio o fwy na £500 miliwn. Mae'r bwrdd iechyd yn fy ardal i, Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan, yn un o'r ardaloedd sy'n perfformio'n well, mae angen dros £23 miliwn o atgyweiriadau brys, allan o gyfanswm o ddim ond £100 miliwn. Felly, a gawn ni ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog ar y camau y bydd yn eu cymryd i fynd i'r afael â'r mater difrifol hwn i atgyweirio ein hysbytai, i wella iechyd ein pobl, a'r ysbytai hefyd? Diolch.
English: I can say on behalf of the health Minister that we have committed over £370 million for investment in health capital projects this year, and £338 million next year. This includes over £8 million of discretionary spending in each of those two financial years. Health boards and trusts have a responsibility to ensure that they do maintain a robust risk profile of maintenance requirements, and that they're able then to prioritise the work within that. But alongside maintaining the existing health estate across Wales, we're also providing health organisations with funding for major infrastructure projects that will enable to us to deliver on the vision set out in the 'A Healthier Wales' strategy, and that, of course, includes delivering the new £350 million Grange university hospital currently being built in Cwmbran, and also the refurbishment of Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil. And alongside this, we've also allocated over £70 million over three years for the delivery of 19 new primary and community care projects across Wales, which are key to delivering our aim of providing care closer to home.
Welsh: Gallaf ddweud ar ran y Gweinidog Iechyd ein bod wedi ymrwymo dros £370 miliwn i fuddsoddi mewn prosiectau cyfalaf iechyd eleni, a £338 miliwn y flwyddyn nesaf. Mae hyn yn cynnwys dros £8 miliwn o wariant dewisol ym mhob un o'r ddwy flwyddyn ariannol hynny. Mae cyfrifoldeb ar fyrddau ac ymddiriedolaethau iechyd i sicrhau eu bod yn cynnal proffil risg cadarn o ofynion cynnal a chadw, a'u bod wedyn yn gallu blaenoriaethu'r gwaith o fewn hynny. Ond ynghyd â chynnal yr ystad iechyd bresennol ledled Cymru, rydym hefyd yn darparu cyllid i sefydliadau iechyd ar gyfer prosiectau seilwaith mawr a fydd yn ein galluogi i gyflawni'r weledigaeth a nodir yn y strategaeth Cymru Iachach. Mae hynny, wrth gwrs, yn cynnwys yr Ysbyty'r Brifysgol Grange newydd gwerth £350 miliwn, sy'n cael ei adeiladu yng Nghwmbrân ar hyn o bryd, a hefyd waith adnewyddu i ysbyty'r Tywysog Siarl ym Merthyr Tudful. Ynghyd â hyn, rydym hefyd wedi dyrannu dros £70 miliwn dros dair blynedd i gyflawni 19 o brosiectau gofal sylfaenol a chymunedol newydd ledled Cymru, sy'n allweddol ar gyfer cyflawni ein nod o ddarparu gofal yn agosach at y cartref.
English: Last week, the Scottish National Party Government okayed the cystic fibrosis drug Orkambi, which is something that I and others in this Chamber, I'm sure, will welcome. But also last week, Corbyn tweeted, and I quote: 'People with cystic fibrosis in England, Wales and Northern Ireland still don't have access to the life changing drug #OrkambiThe government must act.' Well, I know he doesn't really understand devolution very well, but when he says 'the government', obviously, he is wrong, because health is devolved. Now, I would like to understand what the Welsh Labour Government will do in relation to Orkambi, given the fact that some people in Wales have said that they are now considering moving to Scotland if Orkambi is not okayed here. We simply can't live in a situation where people are being denied this life-saving drug. What is the Welsh Government going to do on this particular matter?
Welsh: Yr wythnos diwethaf, rhoddodd Llywodraeth Plaid Genedlaethol yr Alban sêl ei bendith i'r cyffur ffibrosis systig Orkambi, rhywbeth yr wyf fi ac eraill yn y Siambr hon, rwy'n siŵr, yn ei groesawu. Ond hefyd yr wythnos diwethaf, trydarodd Corbyn, ac rwy'n dyfynnu: 'Nid oes gan bobl â ffibrosis systig yng Nghymru, Lloegr a Gogledd Iwerddon fynediad o hyd at y cyffur sy'n newid bywyd #Orkambi Rhaid i'r llywodraeth weithredu.' Wel, rwy'n gwybod nad yw'n deall datganoli'n dda iawn, ond pan ddywed 'y llywodraeth', yn amlwg, mae'n anghywir, oherwydd mae iechyd wedi ei ddatganoli. Nawr, hoffwn ddeall yr hyn y bydd Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru yn ei wneud mewn cysylltiad ag Orkambi, o ystyried y ffaith bod rhai pobl yng Nghymru wedi dweud eu bod bellach yn ystyried symud i'r Alban os nad yw Orkambi ar gael yma. Yn syml iawn, ni allwn fyw mewn sefyllfa lle mae pobl yn cael eu hamddifadu o'r cyffur hwn sy'n achub bywydau. Beth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd i'w wneud ar y mater penodol hwn?
English: The Minister for Health and Social Services did make a statement on the availability of medicines for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in August, and he was clear that we will make all medicines recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the All Wales Medicines Strategy Group available within 60 days of their first recommendation, and we'll make all medicines available where their costs appropriately reflect their benefits. To determine if that's the case for Orkambi and Symkevi, it does require Vertex Pharmaceuticals to engage with our internationally recognised medical appraisals process. But since 2016, we've repeatedly invited Vertex Pharmaceuticals to engage with us in that appraisal process, and they have made a commitment to do so, but as yet, they haven't, and Welsh Government strongly encourages them to make a submission urgently.
Welsh: Gwnaeth y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ddatganiad fis Awst am y meddyginiaethau sydd ar gael i drin ffibrosis systig, ac roedd yn glir y byddwn yn sicrhau y bydd yr holl feddyginiaethau a argymhellir gan y Sefydliad Cenedlaethol dros Ragoriaeth mewn Iechyd a Gofal a Grŵp Strategaeth Meddyginiaethau Cymru Gyfan ar gael o fewn 60 diwrnod i'w hargymhelliad cyntaf, a byddwn yn sicrhau bod pob meddyginiaeth ar gael lle mae eu costau yn adlewyrchu'n briodol eu buddiannau. Er mwyn penderfynu a yw hynny'n wir am Orkambi a Symkevi, mae'n ofynnol bod Vertex Pharmaceuticals yn ymgysylltu â'n proses arfarniadau meddygol ni sy'n cael ei chydnabod yn rhyngwladol. Ond ers 2016, rydym dro ar ôl tro wedi gwahodd Vertex Pharmaceuticals i ymgysylltu â ni yn y broses arfarnu honno, ac maent wedi ymrwymo i wneud hynny, ond hyd yn hyn, nid ydynt wedi gwneud hynny, ac mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu hannog yn gryf i wneud cyflwyniad ar frys.
English: I'd like to request a Government statement and time to question the Government's proposals as set out in the draft national development framework. The proposals were, of course, issued over August, when Assembly Members were in summer recess and were unable to ask questions at that time. I do fully appreciate the Minister facilitated a drop-in event for AMs last week, which I did attend, and I am meeting the Minister separately to discuss the issue, but there are a number of AMs that represent constituencies where there would be significant impact on those areas with regard to proposals as set out in the energy section of the NDF. We had a lot of talk about democracy earlier today. Thousands of my constituents descended on this Assembly back in 2011 to propose that the Welsh Government scrapped its technical advice note 8 guidance that saw areas of Wales very much focused on large-scale wind developments in those areas. The NDF does exactly the same, except it goes even further in accepting landscape change. Thousands of tourism businesses are dependent on the landscapes of mid Wales and thousands of people are employed in that sector. This is a significant issue that really should be debated in this Chamber, and I hope that the Government will allow time to do that.
Welsh: Hoffwn ofyn am ddatganiad ac amser gan y Llywodraeth i gwestiynu cynigion y Llywodraeth fel y cânt eu nodi yn y Fframwaith Datblygu Cenedlaethol drafft. Cyhoeddwyd y cynigion, wrth gwrs, yn ystod mis Awst, pan oedd Aelodau'r Cynulliad ar eu toriad haf ac nid oeddent yn gallu gofyn cwestiynau ar y pryd. Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi bod y Gweinidog wedi hwyluso digwyddiad galw heibio i ACau yr wythnos diwethaf, ac roeddwn yn bresennol yno, ac rwy'n cyfarfod â'r Gweinidog ar wahân i drafod y mater. Ond mae nifer o ACau sy'n cynrychioli etholaethau lle y byddai effaith sylweddol ar y meysydd hynny o ran cynigion fel y'n nodir yn adran ynni'r Fframwaith Datblygu Cenedlaethol. Cafwyd llawer o sôn am ddemocratiaeth yn gynharach heddiw. Daeth miloedd o'm hetholwyr i'r Cynulliad hwn yn ôl yn 2011 i gynnig bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn cael gwared ar ganllawiau nodyn cyngor technegol 8 a oedd yn gweld ardaloedd o Gymru yn canolbwyntio'n fawr iawn ar ddatblygiadau gwynt ar raddfa fawr yn yr ardaloedd hynny. Mae'r Fframwaith Datblygu Cenedlaethol yn gwneud yr un peth yn union, heblaw ei fod yn mynd ymhellach eto i dderbyn newid mewn tirwedd. Mae miloedd o fusnesau twristiaeth yn ddibynnol ar dirweddau'r Canolbarth ac mae miloedd o bobl yn cael eu cyflogi yn y sector hwnnw. Mae hwn yn fater pwysig y dylid ei drafod mewn gwirionedd yn y Siambr hon, a gobeithiaf y bydd y Llywodraeth yn rhoi amser i wneud hynny.
English: Thank you, Russell George, for raising the national development framework here this afternoon. I know that the Minister for local government is very keen to hear as many voices as she possibly can and get as much engagement as possible on this issue. The framework is in draft at the moment - it's out to consultation until 20 November - but the Minister has indicated that she'd be happy to meet with individual AMs if they've got particular interest in this, or to facilitate a further opportunity for a briefing with officials and the opportunity to have discussions there.
Welsh: Diolch, Russell George, am godi mater y Fframwaith Datblygu Cenedlaethol y prynhawn yma. Gwn fod y Gweinidog Llywodraeth Leol yn awyddus iawn i glywed cynifer o leisiau ag y bo modd, a chael cymaint o ymgysylltu â phosibl ar y mater hwn. Drafft yw'r fframwaith ar hyn o bryd - ymgynghorir arno tan 20 Tachwedd - ond mae'r Gweinidog wedi nodi y byddai'n fodlon cyfarfod ag Aelodau Cynulliad unigol os oes ganddynt ddiddordeb penodol yn hyn, neu er mwyn hwyluso cyfle pellach i friffio gyda swyddogion a'r cyfle i gael trafodaethau yno.
English: On the first issue regarding Cardiff Airport and any potential future support that the airport would require from Welsh Government, I think, in the first instance, we should let PAC do its work and then PAC will obviously report and Welsh Government will respond to that. But I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunities to discuss future support for the airport with the economy and transport Minister. As you say, in relation to the second point, certainly policy under education is very much devolved to Wales, so our approach specifically regarding independent schools in the short term, in terms of what we're able to be doing here in Wales, is very much looking at their charitable rate relief. So, you'll be aware that I've committed to consulting on removing the charitable rate relief for independent schools to bring them in line with other schools across Wales, and we should be able to bring forward that consultation within the next 12 months. But that's as far as the work in that particular area has gone at the moment.
Welsh: O ran y mater cyntaf ynghylch Maes Awyr Caerdydd ac unrhyw gymorth posibl yn y dyfodol y byddai ei angen ar y maes awyr gan Lywodraeth Cymru, credaf, yn y lle cyntaf, y dylem adael i'r PAC wneud ei waith ac yna bydd PAC yn amlwg yn adrodd yn ôl a bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymateb i hynny . Ond rwy'n siŵr y bydd digon o gyfleoedd i drafod cefnogaeth i'r maes awyr yn y dyfodol gyda Gweinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth. Fel y dywedwch, o ran yr ail bwynt, yn sicr mae polisi addysg wedi'i ddatganoli i raddau helaeth iawn i Gymru, felly mae ein dull ni o weithredu, yn benodol o ran ysgolion annibynnol yn y tymor byr, o ran yr hyn y gallwn fod yn ei wneud yma yng Nghymru, yn edrych yn bendant ar eu rhyddhad ardrethi elusennol. Felly, byddwch yn ymwybodol fy mod wedi ymrwymo i ymgynghori ar gael gwared ar y rhyddhad ardrethi elusennol i ysgolion annibynnol er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn gyson ag ysgolion eraill ledled Cymru, a dylem fod yn gallu cyflwyno'r ymgynghoriad hwnnw o fewn y 12 mis nesaf. Ond dyna pa mor bell y mae'r gwaith yn y maes penodol hwnnw wedi cyrraedd ar hyn o bryd.
English: Thank you. Just to reassure you that the health Minister is keen to keep all Members up to date on matters relating to the availability of medicines for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, following the statement that he made last month, and to be clear again that we really do encourage Vertex Pharmaceuticals to engage with the All Wales Medicines Strategy Group appraisals process and make that submission urgently. But, as soon as there is further to report on that, I know that the health Minister will be very keen to do so. The Deputy Minister and Chief Whip has heard what you said regarding your concerns relating to the modern slavery helpline, and she will certainly follow up what you've said. FootnoteLink
Welsh: Diolch. I'ch sicrhau chi bod y Gweinidog Iechyd yn eiddgar i roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r holl Aelodau am faterion sy'n ymwneud â'r meddyginiaethau sydd ar gael ar gyfer trin ffibrosis systig, yn dilyn y datganiad a wnaeth ef y mis diwethaf, ac i fod yn glir unwaith eto ein bod ni'n annog Vertex Pharmaceuticals yn daer i ymgysylltu â phroses arfarnu Grŵp Strategaeth Meddyginiaethau Cymru Gyfan a gwneud y cyflwyniad hwnnw ar fyrder. Ond, cyn gynted ag y bydd rhagor i'w adrodd am hynny, rwy'n gwybod y bydd y Gweinidog Iechyd yn awyddus iawn i wneud hynny. Mae'r Dirprwy Weinidog a'r Prif Chwip wedi clywed yr hyn a ddywedasoch am eich pryderon o ran llinell gymorth caethwasiaeth fodern, ac fe fydd hi'n siŵr o fynd ar ôl yr hyn yr ydych chi wedi ei ddweud.

English: The next item is a motion to allocate a committee Chair to a political group, and I call on a member of the Business Committee to formally move the motion, Rebecca Evans.
Welsh: Y mater nesaf yw'r cynnig i ddyrannu Cadeirydd pwyllgor i grŵp plaid, a dwi'n galw ar aelod o'r Pwyllgor Busnes i wneud y cynnig yn ffurfiol - Rebecca Evans.
English: The proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? If not, the motion is agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn y cynnig? A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu? Os na, derbynnir y cynnig yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 12.36, felly.
English: The next item is a statement by the Minister for Housing and Local Government on the innovative housing programme, year 3. I call on the housing and local government Minister, Julie James.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol ar y rhaglen tai arloesol yn ei thrydedd blwyddyn, a dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol i wneud ei datganiad - Julie James.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. I'm very pleased to be able to brief Members on the third year of the innovative housing programme. We cannot ignore the scale of the housing challenges we are facing. We are not building enough homes, we are in the midst of a climate emergency we must act upon, our population is ageing, and the availability of traditional house building skills is in decline. The IHP programme identifies and tests solutions to these problems. It stimulates the design and delivery of new, high-quality, affordable homes through new housing models, new delivery pathways and new construction techniques. Wales is at the vanguard of housing innovation, creativity and new thinking. How do I know this? Firstly, the programme is hugely oversubscribed. It is a record-breaking third year, with 52 applications for the programme from a mixture of both public and private sector organisations. I have received bids this year totalling in excess of £230 million.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Rwy'n falch iawn o allu briffio'r Aelodau ar drydedd flwyddyn y rhaglen tai arloesol. Ni allwn anwybyddu maint yr heriau sy'n ein hwynebu ni o ran tai. Nid ydym yn adeiladu digon o gartrefi, rydym yng nghanol argyfwng hinsawdd y mae'n rhaid i ni weithredu ynglŷn ag ef, mae ein poblogaeth yn heneiddio, ac mae sgiliau traddodiadol adeiladu tai yn prinhau. Mae'r rhaglen tai arloesol yn nodi ac yn arbrofi datrysiadau i'r problemau hyn. Mae'n ysgogi'r gwaith o gynllunio a darparu cartrefi newydd, fforddiadwy o ansawdd uchel drwy fodelau newydd ym maes tai, llwybrau cyflenwi newydd a thechnegau adeiladu newydd. Mae Cymru ar flaen y gad o ran arloesi ym maes tai, creadigrwydd a meddylfryd newydd. Sut wyf i'n gwybod hyn? Yn gyntaf, mae'r rhaglen wedi gweld gordanysgrifio enfawr. Mae hon yn drydedd flwyddyn sy'n torri record, gyda 52 o geisiadau i'r rhaglen gan gymysgedd o sefydliadau yn y sector cyhoeddus a phreifat. Rwyf wedi cael ceisiadau yn ystod y flwyddyn hon sy'n gwneud swm o dros £230,000,000.
English: It's good to see an increase in social housing being funded through this. I've just got a small number of questions to ask you. I wonder if the Minister could please outline how these schemes are interlinking with private sector developments, so that we can avoid creating ghettos. The statement hints at this, but it doesn't provide wider details, such as changes to planning law, for example. So, when can we have more detail on that? What lessons have been learned from the first two years of this scheme that can be applied to the future? And my only other question is: the final part of the statement implies that this will become the norm, so can the Minister please outline the road map for that?
Welsh: Mae'n galonogol gweld cynnydd mewn tai cymdeithasol yn cael ei ariannu drwy hyn. Mae gen i nifer fechan o gwestiynau i'w gofyn i chi. Tybed a wnaiff y Gweinidog amlinellu sut mae'r cynlluniau hyn yn cydblethu â datblygiadau yn y sector preifat, fel y gallwn ni osgoi creu getos. Mae'r datganiad yn awgrymu hynny, ond nid yw'n rhoi manylion ehangach, megis newidiadau i gyfraith cynllunio, er enghraifft. Felly, pryd y cawn ni fwy o fanylion am hynny? Pa wersi a ddysgwyd yn nwy flynedd gyntaf y cynllun hwn y gellir eu cymhwyso i'r dyfodol? A'r unig gwestiwn arall sydd gennyf i yw: mae rhan olaf y datganiad yn awgrymu y bydd hyn yn dod yn gwbl arferol, felly a wnaiff y Gweinidog amlinellu'r camau ar gyfer hynny?
English: Diolch, Chair. Minister, you've just mentioned the scheme that involves being able to add a bedroom. I think that that's the scheme in Chepstow, from my memory of your statement. I was delighted to see that that's been included - Monmouthshire Housing Association, I believe, will be receiving funding to build 17 homes in Chepstow. The ability to add a bedroom, or other examples of Monmouthshire housing where the houses are futureproofed so that you can add lifts as well so that people can stay in the homes as they get older - I think that's a really important aspect of modern home delivery of the type that Monmouthshire housing is getting quite a reputation for. So, I wonder what you're doing to make sure that that kind of practice is embedded in the strategies of housing associations across Wales, so that we do see this futureproofing, because I think, over time, it makes schemes a lot more efficient if people can stay in those homes that they love - if they can have an extra bedroom, can have a lift, can have adaptations. I think that's the way to go, so I'd like to see that rolled out across all housing schemes across Wales, if possible.
Welsh: Diolch, Cadeirydd. Gweinidog, rydych chi newydd sôn am y cynllun sy'n golygu y gellir ychwanegu ystafell wely. Credaf mai dyna'r cynllun yng Nghas-gwent, o'm cof i o'ch datganiad. Roeddwn i wrth fy modd o weld bod hynny wedi'i gynnwys - credaf y bydd Cymdeithas Tai Sir Fynwy yn cael cyllid i adeiladu 17 o gartrefi yng Nghas-gwent. Mae gallu ychwanegu ystafell wely, neu enghreifftiau eraill o'r hyn y mae Cymdeithas Tai Sir Fynwy yn ei wneud lle caiff tai eu diogelu ar gyfer y dyfodol fel y gallwch chi ychwanegu lifftiau hefyd fel y gall pobl aros yn y cartrefi wrth iddyn nhw heneiddio - rwy'n credu bod hynny'n agwedd bwysig iawn ar ddarparu cartrefi modern o'r math y mae Cymdeithas Tai Sir Fynwy yn cael cryn enw amdanynt. Felly, tybed beth ydych chi'n ei wneud i sicrhau bod y math hwnnw o arfer yn rhan annatod o strategaethau cymdeithasau tai ledled Cymru, fel ein bod yn gweld y paratoi hwn ar gyfer y dyfodol, oherwydd credaf, dros amser, ei fod yn gwneud cynlluniau'n llawer mwy effeithlon os gall pobl aros yn y cartrefi hynny y maen nhw'n eu caru - os ydyn nhw'n gallu cael ystafell wely ychwanegol, yn gallu cael lifft, yn gallu addasu. Rwy'n credu mai dyna'r ffordd ymlaen, felly hoffwn weld hynny'n rhan o'r holl gynlluniau tai ledled Cymru, os oes modd.
