English: Thank you very much, Jenny Rathbone. I recognise your roles here today as Chair of the Equality and Social Justice Committee and also having been a member of the previous Public Accounts Committee, and you're absolutely right, we can't afford not to use this Act in terms of the impact of COVID-19, particularly, which has had an impact on how we've been able to respond to the legislation over the past year at the end of the first five years of the Act and also the decade of austerity and, indeed, the committee even looked at the impact of Brexit as well in its considerations. But I will respond to that key recommendation. Accepting in principle or in full is about have you got full control over saying 'yes' to some things, so in terms of public services boards funding, it has been our policy that it's for the boards themselves to decide how they collectively resource their work, including pooling funding, and there are some good examples of how boards have taken this forward. But, there have been varying degrees of success, and it's reflected in the report, about pooling funding or drawing on funds outside of the budget of those particular PSBs. So, what we need to do is work with the PSBs, the public services boards, to learn the lessons of the past and current work to pool resources to get some common practice on effective pooling of funding between members, but also look at how we can raise awareness of the range of other funding sources available and how they can access them, and then also - and this is crucially important in terms of the Welsh Government's response - consider annually the package of funding and support Welsh Government must make available directly to PSBs. So, there were a lot of elements in that very good recommendation that I'm responding to where we can in principle and then in full respond to it. So, we aim to complete the funding work ready for them to deliver on their next well-being plans from May 2023, because it's crucially important - we have to assist them in delivering their local assessments of well-being.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Jenny Rathbone. Rwy'n cydnabod eich swyddogaethau yma heddiw fel Cadeirydd y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb a Chyfiawnder Cymdeithasol a hefyd wedi bod yn aelod o'r Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus blaenorol, ac rydych yn llygad eich lle, ni allwn fforddio peidio â defnyddio'r Ddeddf hon o ran effaith COVID-19 yn enwedig, sydd wedi cael effaith ar sut yr ydym wedi gallu ymateb i'r ddeddfwriaeth dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf ar ddiwedd y pum mlynedd cyntaf o'r Ddeddf a hefyd y degawd o gyni ac, yn wir, roedd y pwyllgor hyd yn oed yn edrych ar effaith Brexit yn ogystal yn ei ystyriaethau. Ond fe wnaf i ymateb i'r argymhelliad allweddol hwnnw. Mae derbyn mewn egwyddor neu'n llawn yn ymwneud â chael rheolaeth lawn dros ddweud 'ie' i rai pethau, felly o ran cyllid byrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, ein polisi ni yw mai mater i'r byrddau eu hunain yw penderfynu sut y maen nhw'n rhoi adnoddau i'w gwaith ar y cyd, gan gynnwys cyfuno cyllid, ac mae rhai enghreifftiau da o sut y mae byrddau wedi bwrw ymlaen â hyn. Ond, bu graddau amrywiol o lwyddiant, ac mae'n cael ei adlewyrchu yn yr adroddiad, ynghylch cyfuno cyllid neu ddefnyddio arian y tu allan i gyllideb y Byrddau Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus penodol hynny. Felly, yr hyn y mae angen inni ei wneud yw gweithio gyda'r byrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, i ddysgu gwersi o'r gwaith yn y gorffennol ac o'r gwaith presennol i gyfuno adnoddau i gael rhywfaint o arfer cyffredin ar gyfuno cyllid yn effeithiol rhwng aelodau, ond hefyd edrych ar sut y gallwn ni godi ymwybyddiaeth o'r ystod o ffynonellau ariannu eraill sydd ar gael a sut y gallan nhw gael gafael arnyn nhw, ac yna hefyd - ac mae hyn yn hollbwysig o ran ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru - ystyried yn flynyddol y pecyn ariannu a chymorth y mae'n rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru ei ddarparu'n uniongyrchol i fyrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. Felly, roedd llawer o elfennau yn yr argymhelliad da iawn hwnnw yr wyf i'n ymateb iddo lle gallwn ni ymateb iddo mewn egwyddor ac yna'n llawn. Felly, ein nod yw cwblhau'r gwaith ariannu yn barod iddyn nhw gyflawni eu cynlluniau llesiant nesaf o fis Mai 2023, oherwydd mae'n hollbwysig - mae'n rhaid inni eu cynorthwyo i gyflawni eu hasesiadau lleol o lesiant.
