English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. I move amendments 1 and 3, tabled in the name of my colleague Mark Isherwood. The staff of our national health service, and those who provide social care to the people of Wales, have been at the forefront of the fight against the spread of COVID-19. They have kept vital services running, held hands that families could not reach, seen death and suffering on a scale usually associated with conflict, and supported patients and colleagues whilst being under the most intense pressure. I recognise their hard work. I also recognise that Welsh Government do have the levers to reward health and social care staff appropriately, which is why I find the opening premise of this debate extraordinary from Plaid Cymru, a party whose mantra begins and ends with demanding independence from the UK whilst refusing to take fiscal responsibility. They should accept our first amendment, and recognise that NHS pay in Wales is a devolved matter, and that the Welsh Government have received an additional £2.1 billion increase in their budget for 2021-22, and that same Government have the ability to spend it how they wish. Indeed, earlier today, I heard the Minister for finance loudly proclaiming that the Welsh Government were not a postbox for the UK Government's spending decisions. £2.1 billion is a lot of pounds, and I urge the Welsh Labour Government to use it to support an increase in nurses' pay. Remember, £5.85 billion has been given to the Welsh Government since March last year, with another £602 million yet to be allocated. That's a lot of money, and there is money to rebalance the pay of health professionals. The Welsh Conservatives have already stated that we would implement in full the recommendations of the pay review body as an absolute minimum, but for those who refuse to hear, let me say it again: if we form the next Welsh Government, the Welsh Conservatives will implement the recommendation of the pay review as a minimum. That would be in tandem with our commitment to introduce a reformed pay and retention settlement for health and social care staff, including on a recruit, retain and retrain policy, and a minimum salary of £10 an hour for care staff. I note the proposed bonus for staff today and rejoice that Welsh Government have finally learned how to calculate tax. Any chance domiciliary care workers, short-changed by Labour, will receive a top-up? And has the Welsh Government published their response to the pay review board yet? This is vital, because a bonus is welcome, but does not embed a pay uplift on a year-to-year basis. At the beginning of my contribution, I spoke of the extraordinary service performed by so many, but that extraordinary service has caused untold stress, and mental health has been impacted. We recognise that, and we will work with the staff, employers, unions and royal colleges to create a substantial mental health support package for health and social care staff suffering from the impact of the pandemic. I commend our amendments to the Chamber, and, Presiding Officer, if I may, as this will be my last debate, probably, on this health subject, I just want to say to those staff out there in health and social care, thank you. I do recognise your commitment and your hard work, and I want to say a truly heartfelt 'thank you' from me, from the people I love who you have helped this year, from my colleagues in the Welsh Conservatives and from my constituents in Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am eich ateb, Lywydd. Rwy'n cynnig gwelliannau 1 a 3, a gyflwynwyd yn enw fy nghyd-Aelod Mark Isherwood. Mae staff ein gwasanaeth iechyd gwladol, a'r rhai sy'n darparu gofal cymdeithasol i bobl Cymru, wedi bod ar flaen y gad yn y frwydr yn erbyn lledaeniad COVID-19. Maent wedi cadw gwasanaethau hanfodol i fynd, wedi dal dwylo na allai teuluoedd eu cyrraedd, wedi gweld marwolaeth a dioddefaint ar raddfa sy'n gysylltiedig fel arfer â gwrthdaro, ac wedi cefnogi cleifion a chydweithwyr tra'u bod o dan y pwysau mwyaf dwys. Rwy'n cydnabod eu gwaith caled. Rwyf hefyd yn cydnabod bod gan Lywodraeth Cymru allu i wobrwyo staff iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yn briodol, a dyna pam fy mod yn ystyried gosodiad agoriadol y ddadl hon yn rhyfeddol gan Blaid Cymru, plaid y mae ei mantra'n dechrau ac yn diwedd gyda mynnu annibyniaeth oddi wrth y DU tra'n gwrthod cymryd cyfrifoldeb cyllidol. Dylent dderbyn ein gwelliant cyntaf, a chydnabod bod cyflogau'r GIG yng Nghymru wedi'u datganoli, a bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cael cynnydd ychwanegol o £2.1 biliwn yn eu cyllideb ar gyfer 2021-22, a bod gan y Llywodraeth allu i'w wario fel y dymunant. Yn wir, yn gynharach heddiw, clywais y Gweinidog cyllid yn honni'n groch nad blwch post ar gyfer penderfyniadau gwariant Llywodraeth y DU oedd Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae £2.1 biliwn yn llawer o bunnoedd, ac rwy'n annog Lywodraeth Lafur Cymru i'w ddefnyddio i gefnogi cynnydd yn nhâl nyrsys. Cofiwch, mae £5.85 biliwn wedi'i roi i Lywodraeth Cymru ers mis Mawrth y llynedd, gyda £602 miliwn arall eto i'w ddyrannu. Mae hynny'n llawer o arian, ac mae arian ar gael i ailgydbwyso cyflogau gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol. Mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig eisoes wedi dweud y byddem yn gweithredu argymhellion y corff adolygu cyflogau yn llawn fel lleiafswm absoliwt, ond i'r rhai sy'n gwrthod clywed, gadewch imi ddweud hynny eto: os mai ni fydd yn ffurfio Llywodraeth nesaf Cymru, bydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn gweithredu argymhelliad y corff adolygu cyflogau fan lleiaf. Byddai hynny'n cyd-fynd â'n hymrwymiad i gyflwyno setliad cyflog a chadw diwygiedig ar gyfer staff iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, gan gynnwys polisi recriwtio, cadw ac ailhyfforddi, a lleiafswm cyflog o £10 yr awr i staff gofal. Nodaf y bonws arfaethedig i staff heddiw ac rwy'n llawenhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru o'r diwedd wedi dysgu sut i gyfrifo treth. A oes unrhyw obaith y bydd gweithwyr gofal cartref, nad ydynt wedi cael digon o dâl gan Lafur, yn cael arian ychwanegol? Ac a yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyhoeddi ei hymateb i'r bwrdd adolygu cyflogau eto? Mae hyn yn hanfodol, oherwydd mae bonws i'w groesawu, ond nid yw'n cynnwys codiad cyflog o flwyddyn i flwyddyn. Ar ddechrau fy nghyfraniad, soniais am y gwasanaeth eithriadol a gyflawnwyd gan gynifer, ond mae'r gwasanaeth eithriadol hwnnw wedi achosi straen di-ben-draw, ac mae wedi effeithio ar iechyd meddwl pobl. Rydym yn cydnabod hynny, a byddwn yn gweithio gyda'r staff, cyflogwyr, undebau a cholegau brenhinol i greu pecyn cymorth iechyd meddwl sylweddol ar gyfer staff iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol sy'n dioddef o effaith y pandemig. Rwy'n cymeradwyo ein gwelliannau i'r Siambr, a Lywydd, os caf, gan mai hon fydd fy nadl olaf mae'n debyg ar y pwnc iechyd hwn, hoffwn ddweud diolch wrth y staff iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol allan yno. Rwy'n cydnabod eich ymrwymiad a'ch gwaith caled, ac rwyf am ddweud diolch o galon gennyf fi, gan y bobl rwy'n eu caru rydych wedi'u helpu eleni, gan fy nghyd-Aelodau yn y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig a fy etholwyr yng Ngorllewin Caerfyrddin a De Sir Benfro. Diolch.
