English: Trefnydd, I'd like to ask the Minister for Health and Social Services - I'm pleased to see he's here today - to consider making perhaps a written statement about the situation with regard to the midwifery-led unit at Withybush General Hospital. You'll be aware, and he'll be aware, that there is concern that we're going to face a situation where, if women need services at night, they're going to be expected to phone the community midwife to arrange themselves for that midwife to be present. Now, in responding to Paul Davies, the First Minister gave this Chamber some assurance that that is not, in fact, the case. But the Minister will be very well aware of the concerns that this would happen when the service went from a consultant-led service to a midwifery-led service, because it has happened elsewhere. So, could I ask the Minister to make a statement, if he's able to do so, reassuring the public in the area that this is not going to happen, that they're not going to lose their 24-hour service, and outlining what discussions he or his officials have had with the health board to ensure that the First Minister is correct and that this service is not going to be further reduced.
Welsh: Trefnydd, hoffwn ofyn i'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol - rwyf yn falch o weld ei fod yma heddiw - i ystyried gwneud datganiad ysgrifenedig efallai am y sefyllfa o ran yr uned a arweinir gan fydwragedd yn Ysbyty Cyffredinol Llwynhelyg. Fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol, ac fe fydd ef yn ymwybodol, bod pryder ein bod yn mynd i wynebu sefyllfa lle byddai disgwyl i fenywod petai nhw angen gwasanaethau yn ystod y nos, ffonio'r fydwraig gymunedol a threfnu drostynt eu hunain i'r fydwraig honno fod yn bresennol. Nawr, wrth ymateb i Paul Davies, rhoddodd y Prif Weinidog rywfaint o sicrwydd i'r Siambr hon nad yw hynny, mewn gwirionedd, yn wir. Ond bydd y Gweinidog yn ymwybodol iawn o'r pryderon y byddai hyn yn digwydd pan fyddai'r gwasanaeth yn mynd o wasanaeth dan arweiniad ymgynghorydd i wasanaeth sy'n cael ei arwain gan fydwragedd, oherwydd ei fod wedi digwydd mewn mannau eraill. Felly, a gaf i ofyn i'r Gweinidog wneud datganiad, os yw'n gallu gwneud hynny, i dawelu meddyliau'r cyhoedd yn yr ardal nad yw hyn yn mynd i ddigwydd, nad ydynt yn mynd i golli eu gwasanaeth 24 awr, ac amlinellu pa drafodaethau y mae ef neu ei swyddogion wedi'u cael gyda'r bwrdd iechyd i sicrhau bod y Prif Weinidog yn gywir ac nad yw'r gwasanaeth hwn yn mynd i gael ei leihau ymhellach.
English: As the First Minister was able to say in his question session this afternoon, there have been discussions on the options to improve the efficiency of the staffing model by achieving a greater integration of its community-based midwives and staff based in the midwife-led unit. But he was very clear that this will not reduce patient access, which will remain open to women in Pembrokeshire 24/7. I understand that discussions are ongoing with staff about how to better integrate MLU and community midwifery staff, and the health board can't confirm its future staffing arrangements yet because, clearly, no decisions have been made. But it has, however, assured all pregnant mums-to-be that staffing support will continue to be available on a 24/7 basis, and its priority remains the safe care and overall experience of those women.
Welsh: Fel y dywedodd y Prif Weinidog yn ei sesiwn gwestiynau'r prynhawn yma, bu trafodaethau ar y dewisiadau i wella effeithlonrwydd y model staffio drwy sicrhau mwy o integreiddio rhwng y bydwragedd a'r staff yn y gymuned sydd wedi'u lleoli yn yr uned dan arweiniad bydwragedd. Ond roedd yn glir iawn na fydd hyn yn lleihau'r gwasanaeth i gleifion, a fydd yn parhau'n agored i fenywod yn sir Benfro bedair awr ar hugain y dydd, bob dydd o'r wythnos. Rwy'n deall bod trafodaethau ar y gweill gyda'r staff ynglŷn â sut i integreiddio staff uned dan reolaeth bydwragedd a staff bydwragedd cymunedol yn well, ac ni all y bwrdd iechyd gadarnhau ei drefniadau staffio ar gyfer y dyfodol eto oherwydd, yn amlwg, nid oes unrhyw benderfyniadau wedi'u gwneud. Ond mae wedi sicrhau pob darpar fam feichiog, fodd bynnag, y bydd y cymorth staffio yn parhau i fod ar gael bedair awr ar hugain y dydd, bob dydd o'r wythnos, a'r flaenoriaeth o hyd yw gofal diogel a phrofiad cyffredinol y menywod hynny.
English: Thank you, Llywydd. I've looked at the business statement that you've published today, and I don't see any intention on the part of Government for us to have an oral statement from the Minister for environment and rural affairs on the Government's intention now to proceed with 'Brexit and our land' proposals. You will know as well as I do that this will be one of the most significant announcements that this Government will make. It will certainly lead to some of the most far-reaching changes that the agricultural sector and rural communities have seen in generations, and I would like to understand why you don't feel that an oral statement to this Chamber is necessary, because the Minister has made it entirely clear that it will be declared before the Royal Welsh Show in a few weeks' time. Am I right in thinking that it is the Government's intention to release this as a written statement? Some cynics might suggest that you would do that in the last days of term in order to avoid the scrutiny that could take place as a result of doing it earlier. So, can you give us an assurance that it is the intention to have an oral statement in this place, because that is what such a significant statement deserves?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Dwi wedi edrych ar y datganiad busnes ŷch chi wedi'i gyhoeddi heddiw, a dwi ddim yn gweld unrhyw fwriad gan y Llywodraeth i ni gael datganiad llafar gan y Gweinidog amgylchedd a materion gwledig ar fwriad y Llywodraeth yma nawr i symud ymlaen gyda chynlluniau 'Brexit a'n tir'. Byddwch chi'n gwybod cystal â fi mai dyma fydd un o'r cyhoeddiadau mwyaf arwyddocaol y bydd y Llywodraeth yma'n ei wneud. Yn sicr, bydd yn arwain at rai o'r newidiadau mwyaf pellgyrhaeddol y mae'r sector amaeth a chymunedau gwledig wedi'u gweld mewn cenedlaethau, a liciwn i ddeall pam nad ŷch chi'n teimlo bod datganiad llafar i'r Siambr yma yn angenrheidiol, oherwydd mae'r Gweinidog wedi'i gwneud hi'n gwbl glir y bydd e'n cael ei ddatgan cyn y sioe frenhinol amaethyddol ymhen ychydig wythnosau. Ydw i'n iawn i feddwl mai bwriad y Llywodraeth, felly, yw rhyddhau hwn ar ffurf datganiad ysgrifenedig? A byddai ambell sinig yn awgrymu efallai y byddwch chi'n gwneud hynny yn nyddiau ola'r tymor er mwyn osgoi'r craffu a fyddai'n dod o'i wneud e'n gynt. Allwch chi roi sicrwydd i ni ei bod hi'n fwriad i ni gael datganiad llafar fan hyn, oherwydd dyna y mae datganiad mor arwyddocaol â hyn yn ei haeddu?
English: I will, Llywydd, speak to the environment Minister, in terms of the plans for releasing the 'Brexit and our land' consultation.
Welsh: Fe wnaf i, Llywydd, siarad â Gweinidog yr amgylchedd, o ran y cynlluniau ar gyfer rhyddhau'r ymgynghoriad 'Brexit â'n tir'.
English: The next item, therefore, is the statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services on the task and finish group on critical care, and I call on the Minister to make the statement - Vaughan Gething.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ar grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen ar ofal critigol, a dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog i wneud ei ddatganiad - Vaughan Gething.
English: Item 4 on the agenda has been withdrawn.
Welsh: Cafodd Eitem 4 ar yr agenda ei thynnu'n ôl.
English: Item 5 is a statement by the Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services on improving outcomes for looked-after children, and I call on the Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services, Julie Morgan.
Welsh: Eitem 5 yw datganiad gan y Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol am wella canlyniadau i blant sy'n derbyn gofal, ac rwy'n galw ar y Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Julie Morgan.
English: Yes. Just get on with it.
Welsh: Iawn. Siapiwch hi.
English: I thank Joyce Watson for those comments and for her comments about Powys, where there has been this rise that she's illustrated. She refers to the care inspectorate report, and I can assure her that we have been meeting with Powys and reinforcing the importance of having this new framework, and I think that that is what is progressing at the moment. But I think she's right about trying to emphasise that the safety of children and the importance of looked-after children should be high up and on the top of the agenda of local authorities, and I would be happy to discuss with her any way that she thinks that this could actually be done. And I'm very glad that she mentioned the council tax, because, obviously, that is another positive move forward, as there have been quite a few positive moves forward that have been carried out by David Melding's group. And just to say, in terms of a response about special guardianship, which I didn't reply to, the numbers of special guardianships have gone up, yes.
Welsh: Diolch i Joyce Watson am y sylwadau hynny ac am ei sylwadau am Bowys, lle cafwyd y cynnydd hwn a ddefnyddiodd yn enghraifft. Mae'n cyfeirio at adroddiad yr arolygiaeth gofal, a gallaf ei sicrhau ein bod wedi bod yn cwrdd â Phowys ac yn pwysleisio pwysigrwydd cael y fframwaith newydd hwn, a chredaf mai dyna sy'n mynd rhagddo ar hyn o bryd. Ond credaf ei bod yn iawn wrth geisio pwysleisio y dylai diogelwch plant a phwysigrwydd plant sy'n derbyn gofal fod yn uchel ac ar frig agenda awdurdodau lleol, a byddwn i'n fwy na pharod i drafod â hi unrhyw ffordd y mae'n credu y gellid gweithredu hyn. Ac rwy'n falch iawn ei bod wedi sôn am y dreth gyngor, oherwydd, yn amlwg, mae hynny'n gam cadarnhaol arall ymlaen, gan fod cryn nifer o gamau cadarnhaol wedi'u cymryd gan grŵp David Melding. A dim ond i ddweud, o ran ymateb i warcheidiaeth arbennig, nad oeddwn wedi ymateb iddo, mae nifer y gwarchodaethau arbennig wedi cynyddu, ydynt.
English: Thank you. Thank you very much, Deputy Minister.
Welsh: Diolch. Diolch yn fawr iawn, Dirprwy Weinidog.
English: Item 6 on our agenda this afternoon is the legislative consent motion on the Census (Return Particulars and Removal of Penalties) Bill, and therefore I call on the Minister for Finance and the Trefnydd to move the motion - Rebecca Evans.
Welsh: Eitem 6 ar ein hagenda y prynhawn yma yw'r cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol ar Fil y Cyfrifiad (Manylion Ffurflenni a Dileu Cosbau), ac felly galwaf ar y Gweinidog Cyllid a'r Trefnydd i gynnig y cynnig - Rebecca Evans.
English: I call on the Chair of the Equalities, Local Government and Communities Committee, John Griffiths.
Welsh: Galwaf ar Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb, Llywodraeth Leol a Chymunedau, John Griffiths.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Just to very much welcome this LCM and restate what the committee said in its report, that we do believe that the LCM is the appropriate way of taking these measures forward as they relate to Wales. And can I say as Chair, Llywydd, that I very much welcome the ability to include those questions on sexual orientation and gender identity on a voluntary basis, as the Minister said? Because it's obviously very important that people in minorities in terms of their sexual orientation and gender identity have services delivered appropriate to their needs, and that greater degree of information that will be available to service providers is very significant and entirely in keeping with, I believe, the equality policy and the view on equality that this Assembly and this Welsh Government takes.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Dim ond i groesawu'n fawr y cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol hwn ac ailddatgan yr hyn a ddywedodd y pwyllgor yn ei adroddiad, rydym yn credu mai'r cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol yw'r ffordd briodol o fwrw ymlaen â'r mesurau hyn fel y maent yn berthnasol i Gymru. Ac a gaf fi ddweud, fel Cadeirydd, Llywydd, fy mod i'n croesawu'n fawr y gallu i gynnwys y cwestiynau hynny ar gyfeiriadedd rhywiol a hunaniaeth o ran rhywedd ar sail wirfoddol, fel y dywedodd y Gweinidog? Mae'n amlwg yn bwysig iawn bod pobl mewn lleiafrifoedd o ran eu cyfeiriadedd rhywiol a'u hunaniaeth o ran rhywedd yn cael gwasanaethau a ddarperir sy'n briodol i'w hanghenion, a bydd yr wybodaeth ychwanegol honno a fydd ar gael i ddarparwyr gwasanaethau yn arwyddocaol iawn ac yn gwbl gydnaws, yn fy marn i, â'r polisi cydraddoldeb a'r safbwynt ar gydraddoldeb a gymerir gan y Cynulliad hwn a Llywodraeth Cymru.
English: Thank you, Llywydd. We considered the Welsh Government's legislative consent motion in respect of the Bill at our meeting on 10 June, and we laid our report before the Assembly on 24 June. We have noted the Welsh Government's reasons as to why, in its view, making provision for Wales in a UK Bill is appropriate, and we are content. Additionally, we welcome the fact that the Bill, for the first time, provides for voluntary questions on sexual orientation and gender identity to be included in future censuses. Normally, the committee would only comment on the probity of a legislative consent motion and constitutional issues relating to it, but we do recognise that this is a major step forward in being able to identify issues relevant not just to sex equality, but also to issues relating to sexual orientation and gender equality. This is a very important equality measure, and the committee are very supportive of this policy.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Rhoddwyd ystyriaeth i gynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol Llywodraeth Cymru mewn cysylltiad â'r Bil yn ein cyfarfod ar 10 Mehefin, a gosodwyd ein hadroddiad gerbron y Cynulliad ar 24 Mehefin. Rydym wedi nodi rhesymau Llywodraeth Cymru pam, yn ei barn hi, y byddai'n briodol darparu ar gyfer Cymru ym Mil y DU, ac rydym ni'n hapus gyda hynny. Hefyd, rydym yn croesawu'r ffaith bod y Bil, am y tro cyntaf, yn darparu ar gyfer cynnwys cwestiynau gwirfoddol ar gyfeiriadedd rhywiol a hunaniaeth o ran rhywedd mewn cyfrifiadau yn y dyfodol. Fel rheol, ni fyddai'r pwyllgor ond yn gwneud sylwadau ar uniondeb cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol a'r materion cyfansoddiadol sy'n ymwneud ag ef. Ond rydym yn cydnabod bod hwn yn gam mawr ymlaen o ran gallu nodi materion sy'n berthnasol nid yn unig i gydraddoldeb rhwng y rhywiau, ond hefyd i faterion sy'n ymwneud â chyfeiriadedd rhywiol a chydraddoldeb rhywiol. Mae hwn yn fesur cydraddoldeb pwysig iawn, ac mae'r pwyllgor yn gefnogol iawn i'r polisi hwn.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. As both Chairs have said there, this really is a major step forward in terms of allowing us to have better quality information on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender populations here in Wales in order to monitor inequalities and inform the delivery of public services and support for these groups of people in future. The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 has increased our need for high-quality data to support local assessments of well-being and the census will provide that local area data on the composition and characteristics of LGBT populations to help inform decisions about where services should be provided. And, of course, importantly, it will also allow those populations to be able to clearly represent their own personal identity on the census form for the first time. I'm grateful to both committees for their work. Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Fel y dywedodd y ddau Gadeirydd yna, mae hwn yn gam mawr ymlaen o ran caniatáu inni gael gwybodaeth o ansawdd gwell am y poblogaethau lesbiaidd, hoyw, deurywiol a thrawsryweddol yma yng Nghymru er mwyn monitro anghydraddoldebau a llywio'r broses o ddarparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus a chymorth i'r grwpiau hyn o bobl yn y dyfodol. Mae Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015 wedi cynyddu ein hangen am ddata o ansawdd uchel i gefnogi asesiadau lleol o lesiant a bydd y cyfrifiad yn darparu'r data ardal leol hwnnw ar gyfansoddiad a nodweddion poblogaethau LGBT i helpu i benderfynu ynghylch ble y dylid darparu gwasanaethau. Ac, wrth gwrs, yn bwysig, bydd hefyd yn caniatáu i'r poblogaethau hynny allu nodi eu hunaniaeth bersonol eu hunain yn glir ar ffurflen y cyfrifiad am y tro cyntaf. Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r ddau bwyllgor am eu gwaith. Diolch yn fawr.
English: The next item is the debate on the air passenger duty, the case for devolution, and I call on the Minister for Finance to move the motion - Rebecca Evans.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r ddadl ar doll teithwyr awyr, yr achos dros ddatganoli, a dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog Cyllid i wneud y cynnig - Rebecca Evans.
English: Can the Minister confirm whether it is still Welsh Government policy, outlined by the previous First Minister, that if the power was devolved, you would cut APD to zero from Cardiff Airport?
Welsh: A wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau a yw'n bolisi gan Lywodraeth Cymru o hyd, a amlinellwyd gan y cyn-Brif Weinidog, pe bai'r pŵer yn cael ei ddatganoli, y byddech yn gostwng y doll teithwyr awyr i sero o faes awyr Caerdydd?
English: I'm grateful for the chance to clarify that. You've shifted the argument now onto income tax and that's quite a different tax to APD. I think when it comes to a tax such as APD, there are clearly advantages for it to be devolved to Wales. I think in the case of that tax, there is an argument for parity, but I wasn't saying that there should be parity for everything across the board, otherwise we would be massively changing the -
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar am y cyfle i egluro hynny. Rydych chi wedi dechrau dadlau nawr am dreth incwm ac mae hynny'n dreth eithaf gwahanol i'r doll teithwyr awyr. Rwy'n credu o ran treth megis toll teithwyr awyr, mae'n amlwg bod manteision o ddatganoli hynny i Gymru. Yn achos y dreth honno, rwy'n credu bod dadl dros gydraddoldeb, ond nid oeddwn yn dweud y dylai fod cydraddoldeb i bopeth yn gyffredinol, neu fe fyddem ni'n newid yn aruthrol y -
English: I'm glad for the clarification. I'm sure his constituents would appreciate it as well. Certainly the better offer than if Boris Johnson were to come in and raise the threshold to £80,000 and that were not to happen for them, they might wish to hold their Member to account for that. But I think he makes an important distinction around taxes. We are sceptical about the devolution of ever more taxes to Wales -
Welsh: Rwy'n falch o gael yr eglurhad. Rwy'n siŵr y byddai ei etholwyr yn gwerthfawrogi hynny hefyd. Yn sicr yn well cynnig na phe bai Boris Johnson yn dod a chodi'r trothwy i £80,000 a phetai hynny ddim yn digwydd iddyn nhw, efallai yr hoffent ddwyn eu Haelod i gyfrif am hynny. Ond rwy'n credu ei fod yn nodi gwahaniaethau pwysig ynghylch trethi. Rydym ni'n amheus ynghylch datganoli mwy fyth o drethi i Gymru -
English: He's proposed to raise the threshold of income tax that I raised -
Welsh: Mae wedi cynnig codi'r trothwy treth incwm a grybwyllais i -
English: We're not talking about income tax. We're talking about air passenger duty.
Welsh: Nid ydym ni'n sôn am dreth incwm. Rydym ni'n sôn am y doll teithwyr awyr.
English: I'm glad you've clarified you're not talking about that, because it wouldn't have been popular with your constituents if you had been. But the fact is - [ Interruption.] That's enough, Nick, thank you. [ Interruption.] Nick, can we move on? Thank you. This tax is a small tax. It's only £10 million. It was, as stated, recommended by the Silk commission. Notwithstanding our scepticism to continued devolution of more and more taxes and that only ever going in one direction, towards the objective supported by Plaid Cymru to my left, with that £13 billion fiscal gap we were told about earlier, I just don't think it's a good idea to have ever more fiscal autonomy and then independence. However, this area was in the Silk commission. We don't want to fight something that there was such a consensus on so long ago. I think it would have benefits to Cardiff Airport if this tax were to be reduced. I still see that as the likely path of direction. I think it's very difficult to do within the carbon budget context, because if we reduce APD here and that leads to more people flying from here who were otherwise going to Bristol, if that's scored against us but we don't then consider the reduction in Bristol, then we might not make what would be the right decision on a carbon dioxide basis for the UK as a whole. But in the round, I think the case has been made for this tax to be devolved. The Welsh Affairs Committee supports it cross-party and I think we should support it cross-party in this Assembly as well.
Welsh: Rwy'n falch eich bod wedi egluro nad ydych chi'n siarad am hynny, oherwydd ni fyddai wedi bod yn boblogaidd ymhlith eich etholwyr. Ond y ffaith yw - [ Torri ar draws.] Dyna ddigon, Nick, diolch. [ Torri ar draws.] Nick, a allwn ni symud ymlaen? Diolch. Treth fach yw'r dreth hon. Dim ond £10 miliwn. Fe'i hargymhellwyd, fel y nodwyd, gan gomisiwn Silk. Er gwaethaf ein hamheuaeth tuag at ddatganoli parhaus o fwy a mwy o drethi sydd dim ond yn mynd i un cyfeiriad, tuag at yr amcan a gefnogwyd gan Blaid Cymru ar fy ochr chwith, gyda'r bwlch cyllidol o £13 miliwn y dywedwyd wrthym ni amdano'n gynharach, nid wyf yn credu ei fod yn syniad da i gael hyd yn oed mwy o ymreolaeth gyllidol ac yna annibyniaeth. Fodd bynnag, roedd y maes hwn yng nghomisiwn Silk. Nid ydym ni eisiau ymladd yn erbyn rhywbeth yr oedd cymaint o gonsensws yn ei gylch mor bell yn ôl. Rwy'n credu y byddai'n fanteisiol i Faes Awyr Caerdydd pe bai'r dreth hon yn cael ei gostwng. A dyna sut rwy'n dal i weld y bydd pethau'n datblygu. Credaf ei bod hi'n anodd iawn gwneud hynny o fewn cyd-destun y gyllideb garbon, oherwydd pe baem ni'n lleihau'r doll teithwyr awyr yma a bod hynny'n arwain at fwy o bobl yn hedfan o'r fan hon a fyddai fel arall wedi mynd i Fryste, a phetai hynny yn cyfrif yn ein herbyn a hynny heb ystyried y gostyngiad ym Mryste, yna efallai na fyddwn yn gwneud yr hyn a fyddai'n benderfyniad cywir o ran carbon deuocsid ar gyfer y DU gyfan. Ond yn gyffredinol, credaf fod yr achos wedi'i gyflwyno dros ddatganoli'r dreth hon. Mae'r Pwyllgor Materion Cymreig yn ei gefnogi ar draws y pleidiau, a chredaf y dylem ei gefnogi ar draws y pleidiau yn y Cynulliad hwn hefyd.
