English: Well, thank you, Minister. It is hugely ambitious, not least the target of 125,000 apprenticeships to be created by the Welsh Labour Government during this Senedd term, but, of course, this programme relies on securing money that used to come from the European Union, and so could you provide an assessment of the impact that the lost EU funds could have on skills training here in Wales, and the extent of funding that Wales has lost and is likely to lose as a result of UK Government decisions since we left the European Union?
Welsh: Wel, diolch ichi, Weinidog. Mae'n uchelgeisiol iawn, yn enwedig targed Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru i greu 125,000 o brentisiaethau yn ystod tymor y Senedd hon, ond wrth gwrs, mae'r rhaglen hon yn dibynnu ar sicrhau arian a arferai ddod o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd, ac felly a allech chi ddarparu asesiad o'r effaith y gallai colli arian yr UE ei chael ar hyfforddiant sgiliau yma yng Nghymru, a graddau'r cyllid y mae Cymru wedi'i golli ac y mae'n debygol o'i golli o ganlyniad i benderfyniadau Llywodraeth y DU ers inni adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd?
English: Can I thank the Member for Clwyd South for raising the issue? Minister, at the end of last year, I raised the issue of opportunities available to young people in Wales after a constituent wrote to me highlighting their concerns about a lack of apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships on offer to their children. Such opportunities are important, as we just spoke about, to help those young people get into employment. I appreciated your response to my letter, and I know you referenced the young person's guarantee, which was officially launched, we know, November last year, and includes more support for apprenticeships. This is in addition to initiatives like the skills and jobs fund, which provided funding to incentivise employers to recruit and retrain apprentices. Whilst these schemes are welcome, it's vital that they not only result in apprenticeship opportunities, but actually improve outcomes for young people, such as leading to further training and good quality jobs. So, Minister, what assessment have you made of the impact of these schemes on the availability of apprenticeships in Wales, as well as the outcomes that have been secured as a result of the opportunities created by the schemes? Because it's not just about money - it's about the outcomes that that money is being used on.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod dros Dde Clwyd am godi'r mater? Weinidog, ddiwedd y llynedd, codais fater yn ymwneud â'r cyfleoedd sydd ar gael i bobl ifanc yng Nghymru ar ôl i etholwr ysgrifennu ataf yn tynnu sylw at eu pryderon ynglŷn â'r prinder prentisiaethau a phrentisiaethau gradd sydd ar gael i'w plant. Mae cyfleoedd o'r fath yn bwysig, fel y dywedwyd yn awr, i helpu'r bobl ifanc hynny i ddod o hyd i waith. Roeddwn yn gwerthfawrogi eich ymateb i fy llythyr, a gwn ichi gyfeirio at y warant i bobl ifanc, a lansiwyd yn swyddogol, fe wyddom, ym mis Tachwedd y llynedd, ac mae'n cynnwys rhagor o gefnogaeth i brentisiaethau. Mae hyn yn ychwanegol at fentrau fel y gronfa sgiliau a swyddi, a ddarparai gyllid i gymell cyflogwyr i recriwtio ac ailhyfforddi prentisiaid. Er bod y cynlluniau hyn i'w croesawu, mae'n hanfodol eu bod nid yn unig yn arwain at gyfleoedd prentisiaeth, ond yn gwella canlyniadau i bobl ifanc, megis arwain at hyfforddiant pellach a swyddi o ansawdd da. Felly, Weinidog, pa asesiad a wnaethoch o effaith y cynlluniau hyn ar argaeledd prentisiaethau yng Nghymru, yn ogystal â'r canlyniadau a sicrhawyd o ganlyniad i'r cyfleoedd a grëwyd gan y cynlluniau? Oherwydd mae'n ymwneud â mwy nag arian yn unig - mae'n ymwneud â chanlyniadau'r hyn y gwerir yr arian hwnnw arno.
English: I'd be very happy to provide a further note to Members on this, because, actually, every time we have looked in the past, certainly in my membership of this place, we've actually found that apprenticeship outcomes for people in Wales compare very favourably with other parts of the UK, in particular across the border in England. You can find more people completing their apprenticeships and going on to secure employment. And, to be fair, the previous questioner, during his time both as a Deputy Minister, when he had responsibility for skills, and then in his time as the economy Minister, has had oversight for a significant part of that success. I'd be more than happy to provide a note setting out the outcomes achieved and the benefit that apprenticeships provide for individuals and the economy here in Wales.
Welsh: Byddwn yn hapus iawn i roi nodyn pellach i'r Aelodau ar hyn, oherwydd, mewn gwirionedd, bob tro y gwnaethom edrych yn y gorffennol, yn sicr ers imi ddod yn Aelod yn y lle hwn, rydym wedi canfod bod canlyniadau prentisiaethau i bobl yng Nghymru yn cymharu'n ffafriol iawn â rhannau eraill o'r DU, yn enwedig dros y ffin yn Lloegr. Gallwch weld mwy o bobl yn cwblhau eu prentisiaethau ac yn mynd rhagddynt i gael gwaith. Ac i fod yn deg, mae'r holwr blaenorol, yn ystod ei gyfnod fel Dirprwy Weinidog, pan oedd ganddo gyfrifoldeb dros sgiliau, ac yna yn ystod ei gyfnod fel Gweinidog yr economi, wedi goruchwylio dros ran sylweddol o'r llwyddiant hwnnw. Byddwn yn fwy na pharod i ddarparu nodyn yn nodi'r canlyniadau a gyflawnwyd a'r budd y mae prentisiaethau'n eu darparu i unigolion a'r economi yma yng Nghymru.
English: In a recent labour market update, the unemployment figures for Swansea West were roughly three times the national average, at 10.3 per cent. One in 10 people in our second largest city are currently without employment. This situation becomes even more stark when you factor in that youth unemployment is typically higher than regular unemployment. The unemployment rate for 16 to 24-year-olds in Wales is currently 12 per cent, with the figure for Swansea sure to be higher than this if we assume that youth unemployment figures follow the same trend as general unemployment figures for Swansea West. Could the Minister outline specifically how the youth jobs guarantee and other youth employment schemes will seek to address youth unemployment, not just in Swansea, but across South Wales West? And when does he expect to see these employability schemes bear fruit?
Welsh: Mewn diweddariad ar y farchnad lafur yn ddiweddar, roedd y ffigurau diweithdra ar gyfer Gorllewin Abertawe tua thair gwaith y cyfartaledd cenedlaethol, sef 10.3 y cant. Mae un o bob 10 o bobl yn ein hail ddinas fwyaf heb waith ar hyn o bryd. Mae'r sefyllfa hon hyd yn oed yn fwy llwm pan ystyriwch fod diweithdra ymysg pobl ifanc fel arfer yn uwch na diweithdra yn gyffredinol. Mae'r gyfradd ddiweithdra ar gyfer pobl ifanc 16 i 24 oed yng Nghymru yn 12 y cant ar hyn o bryd, gyda'r ffigur ar gyfer Abertawe yn sicr o fod yn uwch na hyn os rhagdybiwn fod ffigurau diweithdra ymysg pobl ifanc yn dilyn yr un duedd â'r ffigurau diweithdra cyffredinol ar gyfer Gorllewin Abertawe. A wnaiff y Gweinidog amlinellu'n benodol sut y bydd y warant swyddi i bobl ifanc a chynlluniau cyflogaeth eraill i bobl ifanc yn ceisio mynd i'r afael â diweithdra ymysg pobl ifanc, nid yn unig yn Abertawe, ond ar draws Gorllewin De Cymru? A phryd y mae'n disgwyl y bydd y cynlluniau cyflogadwyedd hyn yn dwyn ffrwyth?
English: Thank you. We have a suite of business-support products available through the Business Wales service to support start-ups with a variety of subjects, from hiring staff to identifying appropriate finance. Providing start-up opportunities is also a key strand of the young person's guarantee offer.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae gennym gyfres o gynhyrchion cymorth busnes ar gael drwy wasanaeth Busnes Cymru i gefnogi busnesau newydd gydag amrywiaeth o bynciau, o logi staff i nodi cyllid priodol. Mae darparu cyfleoedd dechrau busnes hefyd yn elfen allweddol o gynnig y warant i bobl ifanc.
English: Thank you, Minister. As you note, there is a lot of support out there for start-ups, not just from Welsh Government, but also from, for example, Rhondda Cynon Taf council, with its nine-to-five hub for budding entrepreneurs. However, recent research from the Bevan Foundation suggests that there needs to be at least 1,000 new businesses in the Cynon Valley just to match the Welsh average. How can Welsh Government work to accelerate the rate of start-ups in the Cynon Valley and help to close this worrying gap?
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Fel y nodwch, mae llawer o gefnogaeth ar gael i fusnesau newydd, nid yn unig gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ond hefyd gan gyngor Rhondda Cynon Taf, er enghraifft, gyda'i ganolfan naw tan bump ar gyfer entrepreneuriaid newydd. Fodd bynnag, mae ymchwil ddiweddar gan Sefydliad Bevan yn awgrymu bod angen o leiaf 1,000 o fusnesau newydd yng Nghwm Cynon er mwyn cyrraedd cyfartaledd Cymru. Sut y gall Llywodraeth Cymru weithio i gyflymu'r gyfradd o fusnesau newydd yng Nghwm Cynon a helpu i gau'r bwlch hwn sy'n peri pryder?
English: That's part of the reason why it's been so important to try to maintain the investment in not just skills, but also in the business support service that we provide through Business Wales, because we can provide a bespoke package of support, for either individuals or for particular areas. Now, I think that would be something that would be well worth exploring between my officials and RCT, as you mentioned it, as the local authority, who already do have active programmes within the county area. But, as you've identified the Cynon as a particular area, it may make sense for me to contact your office to see if we can have a conversation about what we might be able to do specifically around Cynon Valley with yourself and the local authority and my officials working with Business Wales.
Welsh: Dyna ran o'r rheswm pam ei bod mor bwysig ceisio cynnal y buddsoddiad nid yn unig mewn sgiliau, ond hefyd yn y gwasanaeth cymorth busnes a ddarparwn drwy Busnes Cymru, oherwydd gallwn ddarparu pecyn cymorth pwrpasol, ar gyfer unigolion neu ar gyfer ardaloedd penodol. Nawr, credaf y byddai hynny'n rhywbeth y byddai'n werth ei archwilio rhwng fy swyddogion a RhCT fel yr awdurdod lleol, fel y sonioch chi amdano, sydd eisoes â rhaglenni gweithredol yn ardal y sir. Ond gan eich bod wedi nodi Cwm Cynon yn benodol, efallai y byddai'n gwneud synnwyr imi gysylltu â'ch swyddfa i weld a allwn gael sgwrs am yr hyn y gallem ei wneud yn benodol o amgylch Cwm Cynon gyda chi a'r awdurdod lleol a fy swyddogion yn gweithio gyda Busnes Cymru.
English: We are working with a wide range of partners to understand the potential economic impact of a visitor levy in Wales. It will be for local authorities to decide if they raise a levy on visitors. They will be empowered in local authorities to make their own judgment with support from the Welsh Government.
Welsh: Rydym yn gweithio gydag ystod eang o bartneriaid i ddeall effaith economaidd bosibl ardoll ymwelwyr yng Nghymru. Mater i awdurdodau lleol fydd penderfynu a fyddant yn codi ardoll ar ymwelwyr. Cânt eu grymuso mewn awdurdodau lleol i wneud eu penderfyniadau eu hunain gyda chymorth Llywodraeth Cymru.
English: I know you want to pass the buck to local authorities in respect of this tax, but the reality is that it's your Welsh Labour Government that is setting the road ahead and actually facilitating the introduction of a tax that could decimate the economy of north Wales. Tourism, to our nation, is worth billions, and tens of thousands of people across the north Wales region are employed in tourism jobs and, in addition, many shops in our town centres, businesses like cafes, restaurants, and everything else survive on the annual income that comes from visitors' pockets. Do you accept that a tourism tax being introduced in north Wales could decimate the industry and cause price-sensitive tourists to, instead of visiting Colwyn Bay, Towyn and Kinmel Bay, Rhyl, Prestatyn, Llandudno and the other wonderful resorts that north Wales has to offer, that it could cause them to hop, skip and jump to places like Blackpool, Morecambe and elsewhere, where their economies will boom and ours will suffer as a result?
Welsh: Gwn eich bod eisiau trosglwyddo'r baich i awdurdodau lleol mewn perthynas â'r dreth hon, ond y gwir amdani yw mai'r Llywodraeth Lafur yng Nghymru sy'n gosod y ffordd ymlaen ac yn hwyluso cyflwyno treth a allai ddinistrio economi gogledd Cymru. Mae twristiaeth yn werth biliynau i'n gwlad, ac mae degau o filoedd o bobl ar draws rhanbarth y gogledd yn cael eu cyflogi mewn swyddi twristiaeth ac yn ogystal, mae llawer o siopau yng nghanol ein trefi, busnesau fel caffis, bwytai, a phopeth arall yn goroesi ar yr incwm blynyddol a ddaw o bocedi ymwelwyr. A ydych yn derbyn y gallai cyflwyno treth twristiaeth yng ngogledd Cymru ddinistrio'r diwydiant ac achosi i dwristiaid sy'n sensitif i brisiau, yn hytrach nag ymweld â Bae Colwyn, Tywyn a Bae Cinmel, y Rhyl, Prestatyn, Llandudno a'r cyrchfannau gwych eraill sydd gan ogledd Cymru i'w cynnig, heidio i leoedd fel Blackpool, Morecambe a mannau eraill, lle bydd eu heconomïau'n ffynnu a'n heconomïau ni'n dioddef o ganlyniad?
English: - and be fast and free with phrases, but, look, I think he might want to pause and take some time on the subs bench while this issue is being decided by the grown ups. You see, when you look across Europe and north America, when you look at where a levy is a regular part of the tourism industry, you don't find anything to support the scaremongering and world-ending predictions that he excitedly makes. The idea that this will decimate the visitor economy is without any kind of evidential basis whatsoever. If you look at what we're discussing, it is how local authorities could understand what they could do for communities that see a benefit from the return of visitors, but also some of the challenges that that brings as well, and how they would decide, with the powers that they would have, whether they wanted to introduce a levy, and if so, on what basis. Now, that's the consultation we're having. If there is any actual evidence, rather than hyperbole, from the Member and his colleagues that a levy would have any kind of detrimental impact, we'd want to see that as part of the consultation before we make choices. I believe that we can do something to invest in our visitor economy, and we have a good basis, because we have such a wonderful range of visitor attractions for people to come here to Wales, and I actually have very good and optimistic hopes built on evidence for the future of our visitor economy, regardless of the eventual outcomes of the visitor levy in different parts of Wales.
Welsh: - a thaflu geiriau o gwmpas, ond edrychwch, credaf efallai y dylai oedi a chymryd hoe fach ar fainc yr eilyddion tra bod y mater hwn yn cael ei benderfynu gan yr oedolion. Pan edrychwch ar draws Ewrop a gogledd America, pan edrychwch ar lefydd lle mae ardoll yn rhan reolaidd o'u diwydiant twristiaeth, ni welwch unrhyw beth i gefnogi'r codi bwganod a'r rhagfynegiadau diwedd-y-byd y mae'n cyffroi wrth eu gwneud. Nid oes unrhyw fath o sail dystiolaethol o gwbl i'r syniad y bydd hyn yn dinistrio'r economi ymwelwyr. Os edrychwch ar yr hyn a drafodwn, mae'n ymwneud â sut y gallai awdurdodau lleol ddeall yr hyn y gallent ei wneud i gymunedau sy'n arwain at elwa o weld ymwelwyr yn dychwelyd, ond hefyd rhai o'r heriau a ddaw yn sgil hynny, a sut y byddent yn penderfynu, gyda'r pwerau a fyddai ganddynt, a fyddent eisiau cyflwyno ardoll, ac os felly, ar ba sail. Nawr, dyna yw'r ymgynghoriad yr ydym yn ei gael. Os oes unrhyw dystiolaeth wirioneddol, yn hytrach na gormodiaith, gan yr Aelod a'i gyd-Aelodau y byddai ardoll yn cael unrhyw fath o effaith andwyol, byddem eisiau gweld hynny yn rhan o'r ymgynghoriad cyn inni wneud penderfyniadau. Credaf y gallwn wneud rhywbeth i fuddsoddi yn ein heconomi ymwelwyr, ac mae gennym sail dda, oherwydd mae gennym ystod mor wych o atyniadau i ymwelwyr i ddenu pobl yma i Gymru, ac mae gennyf obeithion da ac optimistaidd iawn wedi'u hadeiladu ar dystiolaeth ar gyfer dyfodol ein heconomi ymwelwyr, ni waeth beth fo canlyniadau'r ardoll ymwelwyr mewn gwahanol rannau o Gymru yn y pen draw.
English: The Welsh Government remains fully committed to supporting micro, small and medium enterprises in all parts of Wales. SMEs can access a wide range of information, advice and support through our Business Wales service and, of course, the Development Bank of Wales.
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i fod yn gwbl ymrwymedig i gefnogi mentrau micro, bach a chanolig ym mhob rhan o Gymru. Gall busnesau bach a chanolig gael gafael ar ystod eang o wybodaeth, cyngor a chymorth drwy ein gwasanaeth Busnes Cymru, a Banc Datblygu Cymru wrth gwrs.
English: Thank you, Minister. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as you have said, account for 62.4 per cent of employment and 37.9 per cent of turnover, worth around £46 billion for the Welsh economy. Just last week I spoke to a restaurant owner in my region who is actively considering closing their doors because of not being able to recruit staff. Could I ask what the mechanism is for how the young person's guarantee will tie in with those small business that are facing those recruitment challenges, both enabling young people to access work and gain skills and to support small businesses to grow? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Busnesau bach a chanolig eu maint, fel y dywedoch chi, sydd i gyfrif am 62.4 y cant o gyflogaeth a 37.9 y cant o drosiant, gwerth tua £46 biliwn ar gyfer economi Cymru. Yr wythnos diwethaf, siaradais â pherchennog bwyty yn fy rhanbarth sy'n ystyried cau oherwydd nad ydynt yn gallu recriwtio staff. A gaf fi ofyn beth yw'r mecanwaith ar gyfer cysylltiad rhwng y warant i bobl ifanc a'r busnesau bach sy'n wynebu'r heriau recriwtio hynny, gan alluogi pobl ifanc i gael gwaith ac i feithrin sgiliau a chefnogi busnesau bach i dyfu? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: And finally, question 8, James Evans.
Welsh: Ac yn olaf, cwestiwn 8, James Evans.
English: Financial support was available to retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism businesses, alongside the cultural recovery fund and the spectator support fund. To date, over £66.8 million has been offered through these funds. In addition, many businesses are still benefiting from the 100 per cent rates relief holiday, which runs for the entire financial year, unlike, of course, businesses on the English side of the border of your constituency.
Welsh: Roedd cymorth ariannol ar gael i fusnesau manwerthu, lletygarwch, hamdden a thwristiaeth, ochr yn ochr â'r gronfa adferiad diwylliannol a'r gronfa chwaraeon gwylwyr. Hyd yma, mae dros £66.8 miliwn wedi'i gynnig drwy'r cronfeydd hyn. Yn ogystal, mae llawer o fusnesau'n dal i elwa o'r rhyddhad ardrethi 100 y cant, sy'n parhau am y flwyddyn ariannol gyfan, yn wahanol i fusnesau yn Lloegr, wrth gwrs, dros ffin eich etholaeth.
English: Thank you, Minister. As you know, the latest COVID support package closed for applications. I've heard from a number of businesses in my constituency who did not meet the criteria for support, whatever the reason, and they're finding themselves now in a perilous position, facing significant financial loss and placing their long-term future in doubt. So, Minister, what long-term support can the Welsh Government offer within the current devolution settlement we currently have to help businesses and help the Welsh economy thrive in the coming months and years? And in relation to the last round of COVID support, can you comment on the take-up of how many businesses accessed that support and the geographical areas where those businesses were based? Diolch, Llywydd.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Fel y gwyddoch, mae'r pecyn cymorth COVID diweddaraf wedi cau ar gyfer ceisiadau newydd. Clywais gan nifer o fusnesau yn fy etholaeth nad oeddent yn bodloni'r meini prawf ar gyfer cymorth, beth bynnag fo'r rheswm, ac maent bellach mewn sefyllfa beryglus, yn wynebu colled ariannol sylweddol sy'n peryglu eu dyfodol hirdymor. Felly, Weinidog, pa gymorth hirdymor y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei gynnig o fewn y setliad datganoli sydd gennym ar hyn o bryd i helpu busnesau a helpu economi Cymru i ffynnu yn y misoedd a'r blynyddoedd i ddod? Ac mewn perthynas â'r rownd ddiwethaf o gymorth COVID, a allwch chi wneud sylwadau ar y nifer o fusnesau a gafodd y cymorth hwnnw a'r ardaloedd daearyddol lle'r oedd y busnesau hynny wedi'u lleoli? Diolch, Lywydd.
English: Thank you, Minister. 'No place like home', recently published by the Royal College of Physicians, builds an urgent case for increased investment in intermediate care provided in a patient's home. This can improve the quality of care, reduce admissions to hospital, and also get people back out of hospital and home more quickly. I'd welcome your response to this report and information on how the Welsh Government is working to increase access to this care in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Mae 'No place like home', a gyhoeddwyd yn ddiweddar gan Goleg Brenhinol y Meddygon, yn adeiladu achos brys dros fuddsoddi mwy mewn gofal canolraddol a ddarperir yng nghartref y claf. Gall hyn wella ansawdd y gofal, lleihau derbyniadau i'r ysbyty, a chael pobl allan o'r ysbyty ac yn ôl adref yn gyflymach. Byddwn yn croesawu eich ymateb i'r adroddiad hwn yn ogystal â gwybodaeth ynglŷn â sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio i gynyddu mynediad at y gofal hwn yn wyneb y pandemig coronafeirws.
English: The Welsh Government has committed to the World Health Organization target to eliminate hepatitis C as a significant public health threat by 2030 at the latest. However, in other countries of the UK, Governments have set pathways to accelerate the elimination target date ahead of 2030. In England and Northern Ireland it's 2025, and in Scotland, 2024. So, can the Minister confirm that the Welsh Government will review its target date to eliminate hepatitis in Wales by 2030 at the latest and, in so doing, how will she address calls for best practice developed in Wales and other UK nations, such as micro-elimination in Swansea prison and focused peer support programmes, to be harnessed to develop solutions that allow for regional and community variation in approach, with local flexibilities to implement bespoke prevention, test and treatment services in the community - which is what this question is about - and other non-clinical settings, such as drug treatment services, addiction centres and community pharmacies?
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i darged Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd i ddileu hepatitis C fel bygythiad sylweddol i iechyd y cyhoedd erbyn 2030 fan bellaf. Fodd bynnag, yng ngwledydd eraill y DU, mae Llywodraethau wedi gosod llwybrau i'w galluogi i osod dyddiad targed i'w ddileu cyn 2030. Yn Lloegr a Gogledd Iwerddon, 2025 yw'r dyddiad, a 2024 yn yr Alban. Felly, a wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn adolygu dyddiad ei tharged i ddileu hepatitis C yng Nghymru erbyn 2030 fan bellaf ac wrth wneud hynny, a wnaiff hi ddweud sut y bydd yn mynd i'r afael â galwadau i ddatblygu arferion gorau yng Nghymru a gwledydd eraill y DU, megis micro-ddileu yng ngharchar Abertawe a rhaglenni cefnogaeth gan gymheiriaid ag iddynt ffocws, i'w harneisio i ddatblygu atebion sy'n caniatáu ar gyfer amrywiadau rhanbarthol a chymunedol o ran y dull o weithredu, gyda hyblygrwydd lleol i weithredu gwasanaethau atal, profi a thrin pwrpasol yn y gymuned - sef hanfod y cwestiwn hwn - a lleoliadau anghlinigol eraill, megis gwasanaethau triniaeth cyffuriau, canolfannau caethiwed a fferyllfeydd cymunedol?
English: Thanks very much, Mark, and certainly, I'm very interested in the issue of hepatitis C, which, of course, is a very long-term condition that many people have to live with. I'm very pleased to agree to take a look at whether there's any possibility of moving that target date. Clearly, the sooner we can eliminate this situation, the better, so I will undertake to have another look to see if there are any means of pulling that date forward. FootnoteLink
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Mark, ac yn sicr, mae gennyf ddiddordeb mawr ym mater hepatitis C, sydd, wrth gwrs, yn gyflwr hirdymor y mae'n rhaid i lawer o bobl fyw gydag ef. Rwy'n falch iawn o gytuno i ystyried a oes unrhyw bosibilrwydd o newid y dyddiad targed hwnnw. Yn amlwg, gorau po gyntaf y gallwn ddileu'r clefyd hwn, felly rwy'n ymrwymo i gael golwg arall i weld a oes unrhyw ffordd o bennu dyddiad cynharach. FootnoteLink
