English: Thank you very much for the evidence. Of course, there will be a transcript for you to check as well. Thank you very much. We'll be moving on immediately to the next session and we'll be having a break after that, if you're content.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn am y dystiolaeth. Wrth gwrs, bydd yna drawsgrifiad i chi wirio hefyd. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi. Byddwn yn symud yn syth at y sesiwn nesaf a chael egwyl ar ôl hynny, os ydych yn hapus.
English: Thank you very much and welcome and good morning. If we could, at the outset of the meeting, just ask for your names and roles for the Record, please.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr a chroeso a bore da. Os cawn ni, jest ar ddechrau'r cyfarfod, ofyn am enwau a swyddogaethau ar gyfer y Cofnod, os gwelwch yn dda.
English: Thank you very much for attending this morning. Of course, we're scrutinising the progress made on the devolution of fiscal powers to Wales. Of course, you published a work plan, so, if I could press ahead, given that we've received your report so far. Evidently, you had priorities within that work plan, so could you just give us an outline of how content you are that those priorities have been achieved and that the milestones have also been achieved?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn a diolch am ddod atom ni. Wrth gwrs, rŷm ni'n craffu ar y cynnydd o ran datganoli cyllidol i Gymru. Wrth gwrs, roeddech chi wedi cyhoeddi cynllun gwaith, felly, os caf i jest fwrw ymlaen, gan ein bod ni wedi derbyn yr adroddiad gennych hyd yma. Mae'n amlwg bod gennych chi flaenoriaethau y tu mewn i'r cynllun gwaith yna, felly a fedrwch chi jest rhoi amlinelliad o ba mor fodlon ŷch chi ar hyn o bryd fod y blaenoriaethau wedi eu cyrraedd a bod y cerrig milltir hefyd wedi eu cyflawni?
English: Thank you, Chair. As you know, we have published the plan that we have and we did so because we wanted to create a new system here in Wales, where we are open as a Government about what we want to achieve and what our priorities are, and making that open so that we can bring people into the debate, to have a conversation with people about the priorities and what we're seeking to do. We laid the report when we published the draft budget back on 3 October, and we are sufficiently confident. We are pressing ahead with the plan. We're on time with the things that are within the plan. There are some things within the plan that are down to be carried out in the short term - rates and bands, suggestions for new taxes, and so forth - and then there are other things in the plan that are looking a little further ahead than that. What I want to try to do, Chair, is to move the timetable from the publication of things under the plan and to try to get that to a position where we can publish the plan at the start of the year, and then, nine months afterwards, in October, with the documents that we lay with the budget, to feed back about what we've done. Now, only three months have elapsed since the last report, but what I want to do now is to bring both timetables together and to do something in this year to create patterns that we can follow in the coming year.
Welsh: Diolch, Cadeirydd. Fel rŷch chi'n gwybod, rŷm ni wedi cyhoeddi'r cynllun sydd gennym ni ac rŷm ni wedi gwneud hynny achos rydym eisiau creu system newydd yma yng Nghymru lle rŷm ni'n agored, fel Llywodraeth, am beth rŷm ni eisiau ei wneud, am beth yw ein blaenoriaethau ni ac i gael hynny'n agored er mwyn tynnu pobl i mewn i'r ddadl, i gael sgwrs gyda phobl am y blaenoriaethau a beth rŷm ni'n trio ei wneud. Roeddem ni wedi rhoi adroddiad i lawr pan wnaethom gyhoeddi'r gyllideb ddrafft yn ôl ar 3 Hydref, ac rydym yn ddigon hyderus. Rydym yn bwrw ymlaen gyda'r cynllun. Rydym ni ar amser gyda'r pethau sydd yn y cynllun. Mae rhai pethau yn y cynllun sydd lawr yna i'w gwneud yn y tymor byr - rates and bands, awgrymiadau am drethi newydd, ac yn y blaen - ac mae rhai pethau eraill yn y cynllun sydd lawr yna ar dymor ehangach na hynny. Beth rwyf eisiau trio ei wneud, Cadeirydd, yw symud yr amserlen o gyhoeddi pethau dan y cynllun a thrio cael hwnnw mewn lle ble rŷm yn gallu cyhoeddi'r cynllun ar ddechrau'r flwyddyn, a naw mis ar ôl hynny, ym mis Hydref, gyda'r dogfennau rydym yn rhoi lawr ar y gyllideb, i fwydo nôl am beth rŷm ni wedi ei wneud. So, dim ond tri mis sydd wedi bod ar ôl yr adroddiad diwethaf, ond beth rwyf eisiau ei wneud nawr yw trio dod â'r ddwy amserlen at ei gilydd a gwneud rhywbeth yn y flwyddyn yma i greu'r patrymau ar gyfer y flwyddyn sydd i ddod.
English: I understand that point. It's more cohesive in that sense. Is there anything, despite that, during the last few months that has shown any serious delays, or something where you are concerned that there has been slippage?
Welsh: Rwy'n deall y pwynt yna. Mae'n fwy cydlynus yn yr ystyr yna. A oes yna unrhyw beth, serch hynny, yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf, sydd wedi dangos unrhyw oedi difrifol, neu rywbeth lle rydych chi'n poeni neu'r pryderu bod yna lithro yn digwydd?
English: No, I can't see any examples of where the timetable has slipped. There are a number of things in the work plan that are complex, and where we will have to take time to carry out that work, and to bring people in to help us to do so. However, everything within the plan, I believe, is where we expected them to be back in October.
Welsh: Na, nid wyf yn gallu gweld enghreifftiau lle mae'r amserlen wedi llithro. Mae nifer o bethau yn y cynllun gwaith sy'n gymhleth, a bydd yn rhaid inni gymryd amser i wneud y gwaith, a thynnu pobl i mewn i'n helpu ni i'w wneud e. Ond, mae popeth yn y cynllun, rwy'n meddwl, yn y lle roeddem yn disgwyl eu cael nhw nôl ym mis Hydref.
English: If I could just ask one thing, because the Wales Audit Office said before you came in that there was one possible benefit that emanated from the Chancellor's decision, namely that people in Wales are now more aware that taxation is changing and that devolved taxation has been introduced. Do you share that view?
Welsh: Os caf i jest ofyn un peth, achos fe ddywedodd swyddfa yr archwilydd cyn i chi ddod mewn efallai bod yna un budd wedi dod allan o benderfyniad y Canghellor, sef bod pobl yng Nghymru nawr bellach yn fwy ymwybodol bod trethi yn newid a bod trethi datganoledig wedi eu cyflwyno. A ydych chi'n rhannu y ddelfryd honno?
English: Well, I have received many letters from people who are now aware of the fact that things have changed. We know that it is sometimes difficult for people who are not familiar with things to the degree that we are to know that there have been changes. So, if that has assisted some people, I can see what the previous person told you.
Welsh: Wel, rydw i wedi derbyn nifer o lythyron gan bobl sydd yn ymwybodol nawr o'r ffaith bod pethau wedi newid. Rydym yn gwybod ei bod yn anodd ambell waith i bobl sydd ddim yn gyfarwydd â phethau fel ni i wybod bod pethau wedi newid. So, os yw hynny wedi helpu rhai pobl, rwy'n gallu gweld beth roedd y person olaf wedi ei ddweud wrthych chi.
English: Whilst we are still in public session, if I may just draw the committee's attention to what I've just discussed, which is a letter that we've received from Alun Cairns, the Secretary of State for Wales, and also the third annual report from the UK Government on introducing and implementing Part 2 of the Wales Act 2014. So, the UK Government has given us a report, as is required under the Act, and presented it to the Assembly, about the implementation of fiscal devolution. But, once again, the Secretary of State has not agreed to come and give oral evidence in public to the committee. We have of course extended all co-operation possible in terms of alternative methods, whether that be dates or videoconferencing, in order to facilitate this. I was just eager to share that with the committee and to give the committee the opportunity also to express views on that. So, I don't know if anyone has a comment to make on that before we go into private session.
Welsh: Tra ein bod ni yn dal mewn sesiwn gyhoeddus, os caf i jest tynnu sylw'r pwyllgor at yr hyn yr ydw i newydd sôn amdano, llythyr gan Alun Cairns, Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Cymru, a hefyd trydydd adroddiad blynyddol Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Gyfunol ar gyflwyno a gweithredu Rhan 2, Cyllid, o Ddeddf Cymru 2014. Felly, mae Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Gyfunol wedi cyflwyno adroddiad i ni, fel sy'n ofynnol o dan y Ddeddf, ac i'r Cynulliad, ynglŷn â gweithredu datganoli cyllidol. Ond, unwaith eto, nid yw'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol ddim wedi cytuno i ddod i roi tystiolaeth ar lafar ac yn gyhoeddus i'r pwyllgor. Rydym wrth gwrs wedi estyn pob cydweithrediad ato fe ynglŷn â'r dyddiad, ynglŷn â fideo-gynadledda - pob peth y gallwn ni er mwyn hwyluso'r broses. Roeddwn i jest yn awyddus i rannu hynny gyda'r pwyllgor a rhoi cyfle i'r pwyllgor hefyd fynegi barn ar hynny. So, nid ydw i'n gwybod a oes gan unrhyw un sylwadau cyn inni fynd i sesiwn breifat.
English: May I now propose that we move into private session under Standing Order 17.42? If you agree on that for the rest of the agenda, we will also take a brief break until 11:30.
Welsh: A gaf i nawr gynnig ein bod ni'n mynd i sesiwn breifat o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42? Os ydych yn cytuno ar hynny am weddill yr agenda, byddwn ni hefyd nawr yn cymryd egwyl fer, tan 11:30.
English: Good morning to you all and welcome to this latest meeting of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee here at the Assembly, the first meeting of the new year. So, welcome to everyone before us this morning. Can I please welcome my fellow Members and also let you know that we have received apologies from Caroline Jones this morning? She's not able to be with us, and there is no substitute. Can I also explain that this meeting is bilingual? Headphones can be used for simultaneous translation from Welsh to English on channel 1, or for amplification on channel 2. Can I remind you, please, to either turn off your mobile phones and any other electronic equipment, or switch them to silent? Also, please follow the directions of the ushers should the fire alarm sound.
Welsh: Bore da i chi i gyd a chroeso i gyfarfod diweddaraf y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon yma yn y Cynulliad - cyfarfod cyntaf y flwyddyn newydd, a dweud y gwir. Felly, croeso i bawb o'n blaenau. A allaf i'n benodol, felly, yn gyntaf estyn croeso i'm cyd-Aelodau gan ddatgan hefyd yr ydym ni wedi derbyn ymddiheuriadau gan Caroline Jones y bore yma? Nid ydy hi'n gallu bod efo ni, ac nid oes dirprwy. A allaf i'n bellach egluro bod y cyfarfod yma'n ddwyieithog? Gellir defnyddio clustffonau i glywed cyfieithu ar y pryd o'r Gymraeg i'r Saesneg ar sianel 1 neu i glywed cyfraniadau yn yr iaith wreiddiol yn well ar sianel 2. A allaf i atgoffa pawb i naill ai ddiffodd eu ffonau symudol ac unrhyw gyfarpar electronig arall neu eu rhoi ar y dewis tawel? Dylid dilyn cyfarwyddiadau'r tywyswyr os bydd larwm tân yn canu.
English: With those few words, therefore, can we move on to item 2, scrutiny of the Public Health (Minimum Price for Alcohol) (Wales) Bill? This is evidence session 8. I'm glad to welcome the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services here to the committee, Vaughan Gething, and also, with him, Tracey Breheny, deputy director, substance misuse policy, Welsh Government; Bethan Roberts, legal services, Welsh Government; and Janine Hale, principal research officer on health economics, Welsh Government. Welcome to you all. As is our usual practice, we will go straight into questions. Can I begin, therefore, with Rhun ap Iorwerth?
Welsh: Felly, gyda chymaint â hynny o ragymadrodd, gwnawn ni symud ymlaen i eitem 2 a chraffu ar Fil Iechyd y Cyhoedd (Isafbris am Alcohol) (Cymru). Sesiwn dystiolaeth rhif 8 ydy hon, ac rwy'n falch i groesawu Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol yma i'r pwyllgor, Vaughan Gething, a hefyd, yn ychwanegol, Tracey Breheny, dirprwy gyfarwyddwr polisi camddefnyddio sylweddau Llywodraeth Cymru; Bethan Roberts, gwasanaethau cyfreithiol Llywodraeth Cymru; a hefyd Janine Hale, prif swyddog ymchwil economeg iechyd Llywodraeth Cymru. Croeso ichi i gyd. Yn ôl ein harfer rŵan, fe awn ni'n syth i mewn i gwestiynau, felly, gyda'ch caniatâd, fe wnawn ni ddechrau efo Rhun ap Iorwerth.
English: Good morning. One of the issues that have been discussed quite widely by us as a committee is who exactly is going to be struck by this proposed legislation. Who is targeted? The Government, we know, is confident that minimum unit pricing will specifically target hazardous and harmful drinkers, and that moderate drinkers should not be afraid that this will impact on them and on the price that they pay for alcohol. The committee, however, has received evidence from many places that suggests that the impact will be much broader than that, and raises quite fundamental questions about, for example, the claim that an increase of £3 every year is all that this legislation would cost moderate drinkers. Would you like to comment on this, because that £3 from everywhere that I've seen looks very unreasonably low?
Welsh: Bore da iawn ichi. Un o'r materion sydd wedi cael cryn drafodaeth gennym ni fel pwyllgor ydy pwy yn union sydd yn mynd i gael eu taro gan y ddeddfwriaeth arfaethedig yma. Pwy sy'n cael eu targedu? Mae'r Llywodraeth, rydym ni'n gwybod, yn hyderus y bydd isafbris am alcohol fesul uned yn targedu yfwyr peryglus a niweidiol yn benodol, ac na ddylai yfwyr cymedrol ofni y bydd hyn yn effeithio arnyn nhw ac ar y pris maen nhw'n ei dalu am alcohol. Mae'r pwyllgor, serch hynny, wedi cael tystiolaeth o sawl cwr sy'n awgrymu y bydd yr effeithiau yn llawer mwy eang na hynny, sy'n codi cwestiynau eithaf sylfaenol ynglŷn ag, er enghraifft, yr honiad mai dim ond cynnydd o £3 y flwyddyn i bob yfwr cymedrol byddai'r ddeddfwriaeth yma'n ei chostio. A fyddech chi'n caru gwneud sylw ynglŷn â hynny, achos mae'r £3 hynny o bob man rydw i wedi ei weld yn edrych yn afresymol iawn o isel?
English: Okay. Any further questions? Everybody's content. May I state therefore that this question session has come to an end? Thank you very much to the Cabinet Secretary and officials for attending and for responding to the questions and for all other evidence. May I say that you will receive a transcript, as you know, of this meeting and the discussions, so that you can check it for factual accuracy? With those few words, thank you very much, and we'll move on to the next item.
Welsh: Ocê. Unrhyw gwestiynau eraill? Pawb yn hapus. A allaf i ddatgan felly fod y sesiwn gwestiynau yma ar ar ben? A allaf i ddiolch yn fawr iawn i'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet a'r swyddogion am eu presenoldeb a hefyd am ateb y cwestiynau ac am bob tystiolaeth arall? A allaf i hefyd bellach ddweud y byddwch chi'n derbyn trawsgrifiad, fel rydych chi'n gwybod, o'r cyfarfod yma a'r trafodaethau er mwyn i chi gadarnhau eu bod nhw yn ffeithiol gywir? Gyda hynny, diolch yn fawr iawn i chi, fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen i'r eitem nesaf.
English: Therefore, item 3, papers to note. Members will have read the letters under papers to note, from the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, a letter from Age Cymru, a letter from the Alzheimer's Society, additional information from Alcohol Concern Cymru, and also a letter from the Cabinet Secretary for health regarding GP training incentives. Content to note or any points to raise? Everybody's content.
Welsh: Felly, eitem 3, papurau i'w nodi. Mi fydd Aelodau wedi darllen y llythyrau o dan y papurau i'w nodi gan y gymdeithas ffisiotherapi, llythyr gan Age Cymru, llythyr gan y Gymdeithas Alzheimer's, gwybodaeth ychwanegol gan Alcohol Concern Cymru, a hefyd llythyr gan yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet dros iechyd ynghylch cymhellion hyfforddi meddygon teulu. Hapus i nodi neu unrhyw bwynt i'w godi? Pawb yn hapus.
English: Item 4, a motion under Standing Order 17.42 to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Are you all content to enter into private session? Thank you very much.
Welsh: Eitem 4, felly, cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod. A ydy pawb yn gytûn i droi mewn i sesiwn breifat? Diolch yn fawr.
English: Thank you very much, Chair. Naturally, as you'll know, this committee only focuses on the legislation and what we can do. We don't deal with policy issues with regard to this Bill, as you'll know. So, may I just ask you what implications you believe this Bill could have with regard to human rights?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Gadeirydd. Yn naturiol, rŷch chi'n gwybod bod y pwyllgor yma ddim ond yn trafod y ddeddfwriaeth, felly, a beth allwn ni ei wneud. Nid ydym yn ymdrin â materion polisi'r Bil yma, fel rŷch chi'n ymwybodol. Felly, a allaf i jest ofyn i chi pa oblygiadau ydych chi'n credu y gallai'r Bil yma eu cael o ran hawliau dynol?
English: Of course, as part of the Llywydd's considerations when she considers the issue surrounding competence, human rights is one of these issues that she would take into account, and she's made her comments on that side of things. As I see this Bill, there are a few examples where the Bill does more to support human rights by providing the ability to take oral complaints. I think that assists with the human rights of those people who aren't confident in submitting things in writing, for example. There are certain things in article 8 of the Bill where the Bill suggests a number of things that would protect personal data - there are regulations on the face of the Bill whereby people who share personal data with the ombudsman's office can be confident that he won't then place that data into his published reports.
Welsh: Wrth gwrs, fel rhan o beth mae'r Llywydd yn ystyried wrth ystyried yr holl bwnc o competence, hawliau dynol yw un o'r pethau mae hi'n meddwl amdanyn nhw, ac mae hi wedi dweud beth mae hi wedi'i ddweud ar yr ochr yna. Fel rydw i'n gweld y Bil, mae mwy nag un enghraifft lle mae'r Bil yn gwneud mwy i gefnogi hawliau dynol trwy allu cymryd cwynion ar lafar - mae hynny'n help i hawliau dynol y bobl sydd ddim yn hyderus i wneud pethau ar bapur, er enghraifft. Mae rhai pethau yn erthygl 8 yn y Bil lle mae'r Bil yn awgrymu nifer o bethau sy'n gwarchod data personol, yn rhoi rheoliadau ar wyneb y Mesur lle mae pobl sy'n rhannu data personol â swyddfa'r ombwdsmon yn gallu bod yn hyderus nad yw e'n mynd i roi'r data yna mewn i'r adroddiadau mae e'n rhoi mas i'r cyhoedd.
English: Just another fairly general question, understanding that it's not you who is responsible for this Bill. With regard to the drafting approach taken with regard to this Bill, specifically, do you have any comments about the decision not to amend the 2005 Act - the original Act with regard to the ombudsman - and to pursue another Bill?
Welsh: Jest cwestiwn arall gweddol gyffredinol, ac, wrth gwrs, gan ddeall taw nid chi sydd â gofal am y Bil yma. Ynghylch y dull y drafftiwyd y Bil yma, yn benodol, a oes gennych chi unrhyw sylw ynglŷn â'r penderfyniad a wnaed i beidio â diwygio Deddf 2005 - y Ddeddf wreiddiol ynglŷn â'r ombwdsmon - yn unig a mynd am Fil arall?
English: Well, we can see a case where people may say, 'Well, you could just return to the original Act and make amendments to it', but there are a number of reasons, I think, why it is more effective to have a new Bill. First of all, it's an opportunity to provide the legislation bilingually, and that's important for us in Wales, because the original Act, back in 2005, was drawn up in the Commons and the Lords, and it's only available in English. The second point is that, in having a new piece of legislation, it will be possible to consolidate everything that is pertinent to the ombudsman in one place, and that assists people generally in terms of accessibility. So, for me, I can see the rationale behind the Finance Committee's decision to proceed in this particular way.
Welsh: Wel, rŷm ni'n gallu gweld yr achos ble mae pobl yn dweud, 'Rŷch chi'n gallu jest mynd yn ôl at y Ddeddf wreiddiol a diwygio pethau yno,' ond mae nifer o resymau, rydw i'n meddwl, pam mae'n well i gael Deddf newydd. I ddechrau, dyma gyfle i gael Deddf ddwyieithog, ac mae hynny'n bwysig i ni yng Nghymru, wrth gwrs, achos roedd yr un gwreiddiol, nôl yn 2005, yn rhywbeth yn Nhŷ'r Cyffredin a Thŷ'r Arglwyddi, so dim ond yn Saesneg mae'r Ddeddf yn bodoli. Yr ail beth yw, trwy wneud Deddf newydd mae wedi bod yn bosibl tynnu at ei gilydd popeth sydd yn berthnasol i'r ombwdsmon yn yr un lle, ac mae hynny'n help i bobl yn gyffredinol, jest o ran accessibility, byddwn i'n dweud. So, i fi, rydym ni'n gallu gweld pam mae'r Pwyllgor Cyllid wedi gwneud y penderfyniad i fwrw ymlaen yn y ffordd y maen nhw wedi'i wneud.
English: Thank you for that. The last question that I have is to ask whether you believe that the Member in charge of this Bill has the right balance between what's to be included in the regulations and what's included on the face of the Bill. The traditional debate, of course, that we have.
Welsh: Diolch am hynny. Y cwestiwn olaf sydd gyda fi ydy: a ydych chi'n credu bod gan yr Aelod sy'n gyfrifol am y Mesur yma y cydbwysedd cywir rhwng yr hyn i'w gynnwys yn y rheoliadau a'r hyn i'w gynnwys ar wyneb y Bil? Y ddadl draddodiadol.
English: Well, yes, I've heard that at this committee in the past, and have had similar discussions. Generally speaking, I do think that the balance is right. I think that it is important to strike that balance between what is on the face of the Bill whilst also having some flexibility in ensuring that Bill remains viable and can take into account future developments. So, there are a number of powers where issues aren't on the face of the Bill, and the Bill does state that the affirmative procedure will be used almost always when things are made through regulations. Also, more than half of those examples where the Bill states there will be implications in terms of having consultations -
Welsh: Ie, rydw i wedi bod o flaen y pwyllgor yma o'r blaen yn cael y trafodaethau yna. Wel, yn gyffredinol, rydw i yn credu hynny. Rydw i'n meddwl ei fod e'n bwysig i gael rhyw fath o gydbwysedd rhwng cael pethau ar wyneb y Mesur, ond cael rhyw fath o hyblygrwydd i gadw'r Bil yn fyw gyda datblygiadau eraill. So, mae nifer o bwerau lle nad yw pethau ar y wyneb. Mae'r Bil yn dweud y bydd yr affirmative procedure i'w ddefnyddio bron bob tro pan fydd pethau yn cael eu gwneud trwy'r regulations, a hefyd mae mwy na hanner o'r enghreifftiau yna lle mae'r Ddeddf yn dweud y bydd goblygiadau i gael consultation - sori, rydw i wedi anghofio'r gair Cymraeg.
English: Consultation.
Welsh: Ymgynghori.
English: I'm sorry, I just forgot the Welsh word for a second there - but with having consultations with the ombudsman and with others.
Welsh: Ymgynghori, wrth gwrs - gyda'r ombwdsmon a gyda phobl eraill.
English: Thank you very much, Chair. Joining me today are two Assembly Commission officials who have been assisting me with this Bill: Joanne McCarthy on the policy side of things, and Gareth Howells, who has been drafting the Bill from a legal perspective.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Gadeirydd. Yn ymuno â fi heddiw mae dau o swyddogion Comisiwn y Cynulliad sydd wedi bod yn cynorthwyo gyda'r Bil: Joanne McCarthy ar yr ochr polisi, a Gareth Howells, sydd wedi bod yn llunio'r Bil ar yr ochr gyfreithiol.
