English: The First Minister is answering the question, please. [ Interruption. ] Please will you allow the First Minister to continue his answer.
Welsh: Mae'r Prif Weinidog yn ateb y cwestiwn, os gwelwch yn dda. [ Torri ar draws. ] A wnewch chi ganiatáu i'r Prif Weinidog barhau â'i ateb.
English: Thank you, Llywydd. We do recognise the current position isn't good enough. It's fair to say the majority of higher paid roles are currently filled by men, and Welsh Government is fully committed to doing everything it can to reduce the pay gap. Women hold 40 per cent of senior civil service posts in the Welsh Government. Now, of course, the pay arrangements of senior staff are not in the control of the Welsh Government, they're not devolved, but there is a commitment on our part to achieving 50:50 representation across the senior civil service by 2020. So, what measures are being taken? Well, measures are being taken to attract more women into senior posts; this includes support for women who are pregnant or on maternity leave, ensuring job adverts are inclusive, offering development courses to women and having no all-male shortlists for recruitment exercises. Alongside this, the Welsh Government has signed up to Chwarae Teg's Fair Play employer benchmarking service, and that will help to review existing practices and develop the action plan for further changes.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Rydym ni'n cydnabod nad yw'r sefyllfa bresennol yn ddigon da. Mae'n deg i ddweud mai dynion sydd yn y rhan fwyaf o'r swyddi â chyflogau uwch ar hyn o bryd, ac mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwbl ymrwymedig i wneud popeth yn ei gallu i leihau'r bwlch cyflog. Menywod sydd mewn 40 y cant o swyddi gwasanaeth sifil uwch yn Llywodraeth Cymru. Nawr, wrth gwrs, nid yw trefniadau cyflog staff uwch o dan reolaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, nid ydyn nhw wedi eu datganoli, ond ceir ymrwymiad ar ein rhan ni i sicrhau cynrychiolaeth 50:50 ar draws y gwasanaeth sifil uwch erbyn 2020. Felly, pa fesurau sy'n cael eu cymryd? Wel, mae camau'n cael eu cymryd i ddenu mwy o fenywod i swyddi uwch; mae hyn yn cynnwys cymorth i fenywod sy'n feichiog neu ar absenoldeb mamolaeth, sicrhau bod hysbysebion swyddi yn gynhwysol, cynnig cyrsiau datblygu i fenywod a chael dim rhestrau byr dynion yn unig mewn ymarferion recriwtio. Ochr yn ochr â hyn, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i wasanaeth meincnodi cyflogwyr Chwarae Teg, a bydd hynny'n helpu i adolygu arferion presennol a datblygu'r cynllun gweithredu ar gyfer newidiadau pellach.
English: We have set out clear expectations and milestones for Betsi Cadwaladr University Local Health Board to meet in order to drive improvements and action recommendations made in key reports during the next 18 months. A new chair has been appointed and more intensive support is being put in place to accelerate improvements to benefit the population of north Wales.
Welsh: Rŷm ni wedi amlinellu disgwyliadau a cherrig milltir clir ar gyfer Bwrdd Iechyd Lleol Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr er mwyn ysgogi gwelliannau a gweithredu'r argymhellion a wnaed mewn adroddiadau allweddol yn ystod y 18 mis nesaf. Mae cadeirydd newydd wedi'i benodi ac mae cymorth mwy dwys yn cael ei roi i gyflymu'r gwelliannau er budd poblogaeth y gogledd.
English: This is the response that I've been hearing over five years of asking this question, to all intents and purposes, and we've heard reference to another damning report that has just been published recently. It is a beast of a health board; certainly the largest health board we have in Wales, and perhaps the biggest public body we have in Wales. But over the last three years, it has been in special measures and, therefore, it has been directly accountable to your Government, directly under the purview of your Cabinet Secretary, and therefore the buck stops directly with your Government. You can't deny that. But tell us, how many more damning reports, and how many more scandals are needed before you'll accept that the situation as it currently exists is unsustainable and that it's time for change, and that we now need to look again at the structures for delivering health services in north Wales?
Welsh: Dyma'r un ateb rydw i wedi bod yn ei gael ers pum mlynedd o ofyn yr un cwestiwn, i bob pwrpas, ac rŷm ni wedi clywed cyfeiriad at adroddiad damniol arall sydd wedi cael ei gyhoeddi nawr yn ddiweddar. Mae e, wrth gwrs, yn anghenfil o fwrdd iechyd, onid yw e; y corff cyhoeddus mwyaf, yn sicr y bwrdd iechyd mwyaf, sydd gennym ni yng Nghymru. Ond dros y tair blynedd diwethaf mae e wedi bod mewn mesurau arbennig ac felly mae e wedi bod yn uniongyrchol atebol i'ch Llywodraeth chi, yn uniongyrchol o dan arolygiaeth eich Ysgrifennydd Cabinet iechyd chi, ac felly mae'r buck yn stopo yn uniongyrchol gyda'ch Llywodraeth chi. Ni allwch chi ddim gwadu hynny. Dywedwch wrthym ni, faint yn rhagor o adroddiadau damniol a faint yn rhagor o sgandalau sydd eu hangen cyn i chi dderbyn bod y sefyllfa fel ag y mae hi yn anghynaliadwy a'i bod hi'n amser am newid a bod yn rhaid edrych eto nawr ar strwythurau delifro gwasanaethau iechyd yng ngogledd Cymru?
English: I don't think a change of structure will do anything. What will make a difference is to have reports and ensure that action is being taken on those reports. If nothing happens after the report, then the criticism would be very fair, in my opinion. It's crucial that we understand what the challenges are before we get to those challenges. What's happening positively in Betsi Cadwaladr? Well, there is a mental health strategy that's been developed with partners and the users of services. There's more of a focus on quality and the experience of patients. We've seen, of course, maternity services improving, and coming out of special measures. We've seen significant improvement in terms of those who finish their training. We know that therapy services operate access within the target of 14 weeks. So, things have improved, but it is true to say that there is work to be done again, and it's crucial that we consider reports like the Ockenden report in order to know what to go on with.
Welsh: Nid ydw i'n meddwl y byddai newid strwythur yn gwneud gwahaniaeth. Beth sy'n mynd i wneud gwahaniaeth yw cael adroddiadau a sicrhau bod yna weithredu ar yr adroddiadau hynny. Pe bai dim byd yn digwydd ar ôl yr adroddiad, byddai'r feirniadaeth yn eithaf teg yn fy marn i. Mae'n hollbwysig ein bod ni'n deall beth yw'r heriau cyn cyrraedd yr heriau hynny. Beth sydd wedi digwydd sy'n bositif yn Betsi Cadwaladr? Mae'r strategaeth iechyd meddwl wedi cael ei datblygu gyda phartneriaid a hefyd defnyddwyr gwasanaeth. Mae yna fwy o ffocws ar ansawdd a phrofiadau cleifion. Rŷm ni wedi gweld, wrth gwrs, gwasanaethau mamolaeth yn gwella, ac wedi dod mas o fesurau arbennig. Rŷm ni wedi gweld gwellhad sylweddol ynglŷn â'r rheini sydd yn gorffen eu hyfforddi. Rŷm ni'n gwybod bod gwasanaethau therapi yn gweithredu mynediad o fewn targed o 14 wythnos. So, mae pethau wedi gwella, ond mae'n wir i ddweud bod gwaith i'w wneud eto, ac mae'n hollbwysig bod gennym ni adroddiadau fel Ockenden er mwyn dangos beth sydd eisiau ei wneud yn y pen draw.
English: First Minister, you'll have to forgive me, but I think that was a very complacent answer. It's very clear from the Ockenden report that the issues that were identified when the health board was put into special measures are not being addressed, and I quote from one of the reasons why the health board was being put in special measures: 'the health board must implement governance and assurance actions which have been highlighted in a series of reports, including by the Wales Audit Office and HIW, and in a review carried out by Ann Lloyd.' The Donna Ockenden report makes it absolutely clear that those things have not been fully implemented, and yet the man who is responsible for the oversight and accountability arrangements of the special measures, who's sat on your front row in your Cabinet, around that Cabinet table, who is responsible for the failure, is still in his post. Don't you agree with me that there needs to be an apology from the Cabinet Secretary to the people of north Wales and to the families of the Tawel Fan patients who were failed by your Government in terms of turning this situation around? And will you accept that, given that we don't have any confidence in your health Secretary to turn the situation around, he ought to go and go now?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, bydd yn rhaid i chi faddau i mi, ond rwy'n credu bod hwnna'n ateb hunanfodlon iawn. Mae'n eglur iawn o adroddiad Ockenden nad yw'r materion a nodwyd pan wnaed y bwrdd iechyd yn destun mesurau arbennig yn cael sylw, a dyfynnaf o un o'r rhesymau pam y gwnaed y bwrdd iechyd yn destun mesurau arbennig: mae'n rhaid i'r bwrdd iechyd weithredu camau llywodraethu a sicrwydd a amlygwyd mewn cyfres o adroddiadau, gan gynnwys gan Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru ac Arolygiaeth Gofal Iechyd Cymru, ac mewn adolygiad a gynhaliwyd gan Ann Lloyd. Mae adroddiad Donna Ockenden yn ei gwneud yn gwbl eglur nad yw'r pethau hynny wedi eu gweithredu'n llawn, ac eto mae'r gŵr sy'n gyfrifol am drefniadau trosolwg ac atebolrwydd y mesurau arbennig, sy'n eistedd ar eich rhes flaen yn eich Cabinet, o gwmpas y bwrdd Cabinet hwnnw, sy'n gyfrifol am y methiant, yn dal i fod yn ei swydd. Onid ydych chi'n cytuno â mi bod angen cael ymddiheuriad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet i bobl y gogledd ac i deuluoedd cleifion Tawel Fan a fethwyd gan eich Llywodraeth o ran gweddnewid y sefyllfa hon? Ac a wnewch chi dderbyn, o gofio nad oes gennym ni unrhyw ffydd yn eich Ysgrifennydd dros iechyd i weddnewid y sefyllfa, y dylai fynd a mynd nawr?
English: Oh dear, oh dear. Is he standing for the leadership as well? I mean, really. We have a report that was published last week. We've not had a chance to respond to it yet, and according to the Conservative Party the response can come within a few days. It's a 500-page report. I wonder whether they've actually read the report. There are 50 pages of an executive summary, and it is right to say that the Cabinet Secretary will need to respond to that report, which he will do this afternoon. This is all about improving patient experience, not about scoring political points.
Welsh: O diar, o diar. A yw ef yn sefyll am yr arweinyddiaeth hefyd? Hynny yw, mewn gwirionedd. Mae gennym ni adroddiad a gyhoeddwyd yr wythnos diwethaf. Nid ydym ni wedi cael cyfle i ymateb iddo eto, ac yn ôl y Blaid Geidwadol gall yr ymateb ddod o fewn ychydig ddiwrnodau. Mae'n adroddiad 500 tudalen. Tybed a ydyn nhw wedi darllen yr adroddiad mewn gwirionedd. Ceir 50 o dudalennau o grynodeb weithredol, ac mae'n iawn i ddweud y bydd angen i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ymateb i'r adroddiad hwnnw, a bydd yn gwneud hynny y prynhawn yma. Holl bwrpas hyn yw gwella profiad y claf, nid sgorio pwyntiau gwleidyddol.
English: Well, because we know that there were enormous problems in the health board and those problems are not yet resolved, and that has to be accepted. There has been some progress, but it's reports such as Ockenden that provide us with the ability to identify the challenges more closely and ensure the health board then meets those challenges.
Welsh: Wel, gan ein bod ni'n gwybod bod problemau enfawr yn y bwrdd iechyd ac nad yw'r problemau hynny wedi eu datrys eto, ac mae'n rhaid derbyn hynny. Cafwyd rhywfaint o gynnydd, ond adroddiadau fel Ockenden sy'n rhoi'r gallu i ni nodi'r heriau yn fwy manwl a sicrhau bod y bwrdd iechyd yn ymateb i'r heriau hynny wedyn.
English: Local authorities are responsible for assessing an individual's needs for care and support, including any night-time domiciliary care required, and for subsequently meeting those needs through a care and support plan.
Welsh: Awdurdodau lleol sy'n gyfrifol am asesu anghenion gofal a chymorth unigolion, gan gynnwys unrhyw ofal cartref yn ystod y nos sydd ei angen, ac am fynd ati i ddiwallu'r anghenion hynny drwy gynllun gofal a chymorth.
English: Thank you very much for that response.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am yr ateb yna.
English: Age Cymru have carried out some important work in analysing the provision, or rather the lack of provision, of night-time domiciliary care in Wales. Unfortunately, only eight out of the 22 local authorities actually provided figures in terms of the number of adults receiving night-time domiciliary care. Of those local authorities that could provide figures, we know that only 1.92 per cent of care and support assessments led to night-time domiciliary care. Under 2 per cent of assessments led to night-time domiciliary care, with wide variations between local authorities. So, what, therefore, is your Government going to do to tackle the lack of data collection in the first place and, more importantly, the lack of consistency and provision in terms of night-time support to our most vulnerable citizens?
Welsh: Mae Age Cymru wedi gwneud gwaith pwysig i ddadansoddi'r ddarpariaeth, neu'r diffyg darpariaeth yn hytrach, o ofal cartref yn ystod y nos yng Nghymru. Yn anffodus, dim ond wyth o'r 22 o awdurdodau lleol wnaeth ddarparu ffigurau o ran nifer yr oedolion sy'n derbyn gofal cartref yn ystod y nos. O'r awdurdodau lleol hynny a allai ddarparu ffigurau, gwyddom mai dim ond 1.92 y cant o asesiadau gofal a chymorth arweiniodd at ofal cartref yn ystod y nos. Arweiniodd llai na 2 y cant o asesiadau at ofal cartref yn ystod y nos, gydag amrywiadau eang rhwng awdurdodau lleol. Beth, felly, mae eich Llywodraeth yn ei wneud i fynd i'r afael â'r diffyg casglu data yn y lle cyntaf ac, yn bwysicach, y diffyg cysondeb a darpariaeth o ran cymorth yn ystod y nos i'n dinasyddion mwyaf agored i niwed?
English: Well, we've already taken action to improve the terms and conditions of the workforce. We provided £19 million of recurrent funding to local authorities for them to work with providers to further support the workforce. We're aware that a number of authorities use part of that funding to pay a higher rate for sleep-in cover. We will of course continue to work using, for example, the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 with local authorities in order to make sure that local authorities understand their duties and to create greater consistency. It's very difficult, of course, to understand on an individual basis whether somebody has been assessed or not for night-time domiciliary care, but it's hugely important that local authorities are flexible enough in their interpretation of the regulations and in their assessments to make sure that people get the care that they need.
Welsh: Wel, rydym ni eisoes wedi cymryd camau i wella telerau ac amodau'r gweithlu. Rydym ni wedi darparu £19 miliwn o gyllid rheolaidd i awdurdodau lleol er mwyn iddyn nhw weithio gyda darparwyr i gynorthwyo'r gweithlu ymhellach. Rydym ni'n ymwybodol bod nifer o awdurdodau yn defnyddio rhan o'r cyllid hwnnw i dalu cyfradd uwch am gymorth cysgu i mewn. Byddwn, wrth gwrs, yn parhau i weithio gan ddefnyddio, er enghraifft, Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 gydag awdurdodau lleol er mwyn gwneud yn siŵr bod awdurdodau lleol yn deall eu dyletswyddau ac i greu mwy o gysondeb. Mae'n anodd iawn, wrth gwrs, deall ar sail unigol a yw rhywun wedi cael ei asesu ai peidio ar gyfer gofal cartref yn ystod y nos, ond mae'n bwysig dros ben bod awdurdodau lleol yn ddigon hyblyg yn eu dehongliad o'r rheoliadau ac yn eu hasesiadau i wneud yn siŵr bod pobl yn cael y gofal sydd ei angen arnynt.
English: Well, I think those figures just highlight the critical role of unpaid carers in overnight care, for people within their family usually. Obviously, in those circumstances, it's very often mental health care and traditional domiciliary care is not appropriate anyway. You'll remember that the Welsh Conservatives launched a policy last month to give grants to young adult carers to help them stay in education post 16, partly on the basis that it needed be recognised that carers allowance should be payable to those individuals, taking into account their overnight caring responsibilities as part of their hours for eligibility. Can you give us some steer on whether this policy is going to be considered by the advisory body that's supporting the Minister, who is, at the moment, trying to get together some policies to support carers?
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n credu mai'r cwbl y mae'r ffigurau hynny'n ei wneud yw tynnu sylw at swyddogaeth hanfodol gofalwyr di-dâl o ran gofal dros nos, i bobl yn eu teulu fel rheol. Yn amlwg, o dan yr amgylchiadau hynny, gofal iechyd meddwl yw hwn yn aml iawn ac nid yw gofal cartref traddodiadol yn briodol beth bynnag. Byddwch yn cofio bod y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig wedi lansio polisi y mis diwethaf i roi grantiau i oedolion ifanc sy'n ofalwyr i'w helpu i aros mewn addysg ôl-16, yn rhannol ar y sail bod angen cydnabod y dylai lwfans gofalwyr fod yn daladwy i'r unigolion hynny, gan gymryd eu cyfrifoldebau gofalu dros nos i ystyriaeth yn rhan o'u horiau ar gyfer cymhwysedd. A allwch chi roi rhywfaint o arweiniad i ni ynghylch pa un a yw'r polisi hwn yn mynd i gael ei ystyried gan y corff cynghori sy'n cynorthwyo'r Gweinidog, sydd, ar hyn o bryd, yn ceisio cael polisïau at ei gilydd i gynorthwyo gofalwyr?
English: Well, there is nothing that is not on the table as far as future policies are concerned. There is the question, of course, of identifying the resources in order to do that, but, also, we do have the education maintenance allowance in Wales, which I suspect would apply, potentially, to many carers. But, of course, if there are other proposals that come forward, we will, of course, look at them.
Welsh: Wel, nid oes dim nad yw ar y bwrdd cyn belled ag y mae polisïau yn y dyfodol yn y cwestiwn. Ceir y cwestiwn, wrth gwrs, o nodi'r adnoddau er mwyn gwneud hynny, ond, hefyd, mae gennym ni'r lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg yng Nghymru, yr wyf yn amau fyddai'n berthnasol, o bosibl, i lawer o ofalwyr. Ond, wrth gwrs, os bydd cynigion eraill yn cael eu cyflwyno, byddwn, wrth gwrs, yn eu hystyried.
English: All children benefit from being outside, interacting with their environment and developing through play. Statutory guidance directs local authorities, working with partners, to consider the diverse needs of all children and young people in their area.
Welsh: Mae pob plentyn yn elwa ar fod yn yr awyr agored, gan ryngweithio â'i amgylchedd a datblygu drwy chwarae. Mae canllawiau statudol yn cyfarwyddo awdurdodau lleol, gan weithio gyda phartneriaid, i ystyried anghenion amrywiol yr holl blant a phobl ifanc yn eu hardal.
English: Thank you, First Minister, but I'm sure that anyone would be moved by the story that broke last week of an eight-year-old boy, Kobi Barrow, who helped design a park that could be used by both able-bodied and disabled children, and he did that in memory of his best friend, Rhianna, who sadly passed away in 2016. It emerged that Rhianna had to travel for three hours from her home to play in a playground that had suitable equipment and he wanted to rectify that for the other children who lived more locally. First Minister, what steps are the Welsh Government taking to ensure that playgrounds in Wales have inclusive play equipment for children and how are we going to monitor progress of that throughout Wales?
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog, ond rwy'n siŵr y byddai unrhyw un yn cael eu heffeithio gan y stori a dorrodd yr wythnos diwethaf am fachgen wyth mlwydd oed, Kobi Barrow, a helpodd i ddylunio parc y gellid ei ddefnyddio gan blant abl ac anabl, ac fe wnaeth hynny er cof am ei ffrind gorau, Rhianna, a fu farw, yn anffodus, yn 2016. Daeth i'r amlwg y bu'n rhaid i Rhianna deithio am dair awr o'i chartref i chwarae mewn maes chwarae â chyfarpar priodol ac roedd ef eisiau unioni hynny ar gyfer plant eraill a oedd yn byw yn fwy lleol. Prif Weinidog, pa gamau mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i sicrhau bod gan feysydd chwarae yng Nghymru gyfarpar chwarae cynhwysol i blant a sut rydym ni'n mynd i fonitro cynnydd hynny ledled Cymru?
English: Well, the statutory guidance directs local authorities to consider the diverse needs of all the children and young people in their area, including those with disabilities. I know that, in April, the Minister for Children, Older People and Social Care visited Oaklands play area in Rhondda Cynon Taf, which is a good example of an accessible play area. It shows what can be achieved. In May, local authorities were reminded of the expectation for each local authority to develop a clearly identified play section on their websites. That information should be made available in a way that supports children and families to know what's available in their local areas. It should also include actions that local authorities propose to take to achieve sufficiency and improve inclusive play opportunities. I can also say that the Groundwork Wales SNAP Cymru Sustainable Play project trained play workers in disability awareness and inclusion and that was extremely successful in engaging disabled people in outdoor play.
Welsh: Wel, mae canllawiau statudol yn cyfarwyddo awdurdodau lleol i ystyried anghenion amrywiol yr holl blant a phobl ifanc yn eu hardal, gan gynnwys y rhai sydd ag anableddau. Gwn, ym mis Ebrill, bod y Gweinidog dros Blant, Pobl Hŷn a Gofal Cymdeithasol wedi ymweld â maes chwarae Oaklands yn Rhondda Cynon Taf, sy'n enghraifft dda o faes chwarae hygyrch. Mae'n dangos yr hyn y gellir ei gyflawni. Ym mis Mai, atgoffwyd awdurdodau lleol o'r disgwyliad i bob awdurdod lleol ddatblygu adran chwarae wedi ei nodi'n eglur ar ei wefan. Dylid rhoi'r wybodaeth honno ar gael mewn ffordd sy'n cynorthwyo plant a theuluoedd i wybod beth sydd ar gael yn eu hardaloedd lleol. Dylai hefyd gynnwys camau gweithredu y mae awdurdodau lleol yn bwriadu eu cymryd i sicrhau cyfleoedd digonol ac i wella cyfleoedd chwarae cynhwysol. Gallaf ddweud hefyd bod prosiect Chwarae Cynaliadwy SNAP Cymru Groundwork Cymru wedi hyfforddi gweithwyr chwarae mewn ymwybyddiaeth o anabledd a chynhwysiant a bod hwnnw'n llwyddiannus iawn o ran cynnwys pobl anabl mewn chwarae yn yr awyr agored.
