English: I thank you for those responses, and it sounds like there might be some positive news. I'm sure I'm not going to get too much out of you in regard to the budget, but I will try. So, thank you for that response. Of course, it's not just the economy that is facing an uncertain time, but our health and social care sectors too. There are already huge amounts of pressure as we all know. We only have to look at the current waiting times for treatment, which have increased substantially during the pandemic. And whilst services are doing their very best to respond to the challenges, and I don't doubt the scale of the task ahead, the new variant is only going to add to their workload. One way of helping to free up capacity in health services is to ensure that people needing social care can access the support that they need within the community or specialist services. However, as we've all heard over the past few months, there is a significant backlog within the sector, with an unacceptable number of people waiting to be moved out of the hospital to home or into a community care facility. Whilst councils and their staff have done a fantastic job in dealing with the impact of the pandemic, it's clear that they will need more support over the coming months. Many are already facing huge overspends in adult and children's services, and this will only add to the financial pressures facing our vital front-line services. Minister, will you provide councils with the sufficient uplift they need in the local government settlement so that they can respond to current and future pressures, and how will the budget allocate the substantial consequential funding that is flowing to Wales as a result of recent announcements about social care elsewhere in the UK? Furthermore, we also need a long-term, ambitious plan to ensure parity between health and social care so we don't find ourselves in this situation again and to improve recruitment and retention rates. To steer us in the right direction, the Welsh Conservatives have called for all social care workers to be paid a minimum of £10 an hour, and I hope that Plaid's position remains the same in that regard. Minister, how will your budget start addressing the mismatch between social care and health in Wales?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ymatebion, ac mae'n swnio fel pe gallai fod rhywfaint o newyddion cadarnhaol. Rwy'n siŵr nad wyf am gael llawer o wybodaeth gennych am y gyllideb, ond rwyf am geisio. Felly, diolch am eich ymateb. Wrth gwrs, nid yr economi yn unig sy'n wynebu cyfnod ansicr, ond ein sectorau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol hefyd. Mae llawer o bwysau eisoes, fel y gŵyr pob un ohonom. Nid oes ond rhaid inni edrych ar yr amseroedd aros cyfredol ar gyfer triniaethau, sydd wedi cynyddu'n sylweddol yn ystod y pandemig. Ac er bod gwasanaethau'n gwneud eu gorau glas i ymateb i'r heriau, ac nid oes unrhyw amheuaeth gennyf ynghylch maint y dasg sydd o'n blaenau, ni fydd yr amrywiolyn newydd ond yn ychwanegu at eu llwyth gwaith. Un ffordd o helpu i ryddhau rhywfaint o gapasiti yn y gwasanaethau iechyd yw sicrhau bod pobl sydd angen gofal cymdeithasol yn gallu cael mynediad at y cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt yn y gymuned, neu wasanaethau arbenigol. Fodd bynnag, fel y mae pob un ohonom wedi clywed dros yr ychydig fisoedd diwethaf, mae ôl-groniad sylweddol yn y sector, gyda nifer annerbyniol o bobl yn aros i gael eu symud allan o'r ysbyty i'w cartref neu i gyfleuster gofal cymunedol. Er bod cynghorau a'u staff wedi gwneud gwaith gwych yn ymdrin ag effaith y pandemig, mae'n amlwg y bydd angen mwy o gymorth arnynt dros y misoedd nesaf. Mae llawer eisoes yn wynebu gorwariant enfawr mewn gwasanaethau plant ac oedolion, a bydd hyn yn ychwanegu at y pwysau ariannol sy'n wynebu ein gwasanaethau rheng flaen hanfodol. Weinidog, a wnewch chi roi'r codiad digonol sydd ei angen ar gynghorau yn y setliad llywodraeth leol fel y gallant ymateb i bwysau cyfredol a phwysau yn y dyfodol, a sut y bydd y gyllideb yn dyrannu'r cyllid canlyniadol sylweddol a ddaw i Gymru o ganlyniad i gyhoeddiadau diweddar ynghylch gofal cymdeithasol mewn rhannau eraill o'r DU? Yn ychwanegol at hynny, mae angen cynllun hirdymor, uchelgeisiol arnom hefyd i sicrhau cydraddoldeb rhwng iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol fel na fydd y sefyllfa hon yn codi eto ac er mwyn gwella cyfraddau recriwtio a chadw. Er mwyn ein llywio i'r cyfeiriad cywir, mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig wedi galw am dâl o £10 yr awr fan lleiaf i bob gweithiwr gofal cymdeithasol, ac rwy'n gobeithio bod safbwynt Plaid Cymru yn dal i fod yr un fath yn hynny o beth. Weinidog, sut y bydd eich cyllideb yn dechrau mynd i'r afael â'r gwahaniaeth rhwng gofal cymdeithasol ac iechyd yng Nghymru?
