English: Llywydd, it's always disappointing to me when a local Member talks down the achievements of their part of Wales. North Wales has higher employment rates than the whole of Wales and the whole of the United Kingdom, it has lower unemployment rates than Wales and the whole of the United Kingdom and its economy in many ways is a thriving economy, from Airbus in the north-east to the very encouraging tourism figures in which north Wales leads Wales this year. Of course infrastructure is important; it's why we carried out the resilience survey of the A55 and are putting into implementation the recommendations of that. We continue to invest significantly in transport infrastructure in north Wales, whether that is the Flintshire corridor in the north-east or the bypass at Caernarfon in the north-west.
Welsh: Llywydd, mae bob amser yn siomedig i mi pan fydd Aelod lleol yn bychanu cyflawniadau ei ran ef o Gymru. Mae gan y gogledd gyfraddau cyflogaeth uwch na Chymru gyfan a'r Deyrnas Unedig gyfan, mae ganddo gyfraddau diweithdra is na Chymru a'r Deyrnas Unedig gyfan ac mae ei economi mewn sawl ffordd yn economi sy'n ffynnu, o Airbus yn y gogledd-ddwyrain i'r ffigyrau twristiaeth calonogol iawn lle mae'r gogledd yn arwain Cymru eleni. Wrth gwrs, mae seilwaith yn bwysig; dyna pam y cynhaliwyd yr arolwg cydnerthedd o'r A55 gennym ac rydym ni'n gweithredu argymhellion hwnnw. Rydym ni'n parhau i fuddsoddi'n sylweddol mewn seilwaith trafnidiaeth yn y gogledd, boed hwnnw'n goridor sir y Fflint yn y gogledd-ddwyrain neu'r ffordd osgoi yng Nghaernarfon yn y gogledd-orllewin.
English: I thank Joyce Watson for that, Llywydd. The programme continues to make good progress with 80 per cent of RDP funding already committed, providing almost £700 million to projects. We expect to achieve full commitment of the programme by the end of 2020.
Welsh: Diolchaf i Joyce Watson am hynna, Llywydd. Mae'r rhaglen yn parhau i wneud cynnydd da gydag 80 y cant o gyllid y rhaglen datblygu gwledig eisoes wedi ei ddyrannu, gan ddarparu bron i £700 miliwn i brosiectau. Rydym ni'n disgwyl cyflawni ymrwymiad llawn y rhaglen erbyn diwedd 2020.
English: Thank you. I know that that funding is making a real difference to the community that I serve. One of those projects that do benefit from the investment is Connecting Communities in Wales. It is being delivered through the Community Transport Association and funded through the rural development programme. From what I gather, those delivering projects are able to apply for funding to deliver those very local transport solutions. The Community Transport Association have contacted me as they're currently in the process of trying to extend their Wheels 2 Work scooter scheme in north Pembrokeshire that allows people who have no transport whatsoever to get on a scooter and go to work. But what they have informed me is that the process itself - not necessarily the application, but the process in which that application is being dealt with - is now holding the whole project in jeopardy, because those people who had originally signed up to helping them are now walking away because of the lateness in that money coming forward. So, my question to you, First Minister, is: does the Welsh Assembly Government know about any delays that are causing this to happen? And would you use your good offices at least to look at what it is that's causing this block to what is a very good scheme and has been operating in the past?
Welsh: Diolch. Gwn fod y cyllid hwnnw'n gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i'r gymuned yr wyf i'n ei gwasanaethu. Un o'r prosiectau hynny sy'n elwa ar y buddsoddiad yw Cysylltu Cymunedau yng Nghymru. Mae'n cael ei ddarparu drwy'r Gymdeithas Cludiant Cymunedol ac yn cael ei ariannu drwy'r rhaglen datblygu gwledig. O'r hyn yr wyf i'n ei ddeall, caiff y rhai sy'n darparu prosiectau wneud cais am gyllid i ddarparu'r atebion trafnidiaeth lleol iawn hynny. Mae'r Gymdeithas Cludiant Cymunedol wedi cysylltu â mi gan eu bod nhw wrthi'n ceisio ymestyn eu cynllun sgwter Wheels 2 Work yng ngogledd sir Benfro sy'n galluogi pobl sydd heb drafnidiaeth o gwbl i fynd ar sgwter a mynd i'r gwaith. Ond yr hyn y maen nhw wedi ei ddweud wrthyf yw bod y broses ei hun - nid y cais o reidrwydd, ond y broses ar gyfer ymdrin â'r cais hwnnw - bellach yn rhoi'r prosiect cyfan yn y fantol, gan fod y bobl hynny a oedd wedi ymrwymo'n wreiddiol i'w helpu bellach yn cerdded i ffwrdd oherwydd pa mor hwyr y mae'r arian hwnnw'n cael ei gyflwyno. Felly, fy nghwestiwn i chi, Prif Weinidog, yw: a yw Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru yn gwybod am unrhyw oedi sy'n achosi i hyn ddigwydd? Ac a wnewch chi ddefnyddio eich cymwynasgarwch i o leiaf ymchwilio i'r hyn sy'n achosi'r rhwystr hwn i'r hyn sy'n gynllun da iawn ac sydd wedi bod yn gweithredu yn y gorffennol?
English: Well, Llywydd, I thank Joyce Watson for drawing attention to the innovative work that goes on in community transport, particularly in south-west Wales. There are a series of initiatives that have been taken in that part of Wales, which allow us to build on those as we develop further ideas in community transport that can be applied elsewhere in the nation. It is important, isn't it, Llywydd, always to remind Members that this is public money that is being invested, that it has to be accounted for properly and that sometimes there are requirements that we have to insist upon from people who are the recipients of that public money before that money can be released to them. I'm not directly aware of the Wheels 2 Work scooter scheme, although it sounds a very interesting idea, and if the Member wishes to write to me with further details of the delays, as the programme sees it, then of course I will be very happy to investigate them.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, hoffwn ddiolch i Joyce Watson am dynnu sylw at y gwaith arloesol sy'n cael ei wneud ym maes trafnidiaeth gymunedol, yn enwedig yn y de-orllewin. Ymgymerwyd â chyfres o fentrau yn y rhan honno o Gymru, sy'n caniatáu i ni adeiladu ar y rheini wrth i ni ddatblygu rhagor o syniadau ym maes trafnidiaeth gymunedol y gellir eu defnyddio mewn mannau eraill yn y wlad. Mae'n bwysig, onid yw, Llywydd, i atgoffa Aelodau bob amser mai arian cyhoeddus yw hwn sy'n cael ei fuddsoddi, bod yn rhaid rhoi cyfrif amdano'n briodol a bod gofynion, weithiau, y mae'n rhaid i ni eu mynnu gan bobl sy'n derbyn yr arian cyhoeddus hwnnw cyn y gellir rhyddhau'r arian hwnnw iddynt. Nid wyf i'n ymwybodol yn uniongyrchol o gynllun sgwter Wheels 2 Work, er ei fod yn swnio'n syniad diddorol iawn, ac os hoffai'r Aelod ysgrifennu ataf gyda rhagor o fanylion am yr oedi, fel y mae'r rhaglen yn ei weld, yna wrth gwrs byddaf yn hapus iawn i ymchwilio iddynt.
English: First Minister, you were quite right to identify that this is public money, and scrutiny is required to make sure that it delivers value for money, but one scheme that has proved problematic with the rural development scheme - and I have raised it with the Minister as well - is the woodland grant scheme. It is a very bureaucratic scheme. People have open windows when they can plant in the season; it's not something where you can plant trees 12 months of the year. And I'd be grateful, if you do have an understanding of that particular scheme, whether you would indicate whether you are satisfied with the progress that's been made getting money out the door, as it were. Or does this scheme need a review so that the Government can get back on track with its own target of 100,000 hectares of woodland to be planted in Wales by 2030?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, roeddech chi yn llygad eich lle i nodi mai arian cyhoeddus yw hwn, ac mae angen craffu i wneud yn siŵr ei fod yn sicrhau gwerth am arian, ond un cynllun sydd wedi achosi problemau gyda'r cynllun datblygu gwledig - ac rwyf i wedi ei godi gyda'r Gweinidog hefyd - yw'r cynllun grantiau coetir. Mae'n gynllun biwrocrataidd iawn. Mae gan bobl adegau penodol pryd y gallan nhw blannu yn ystod y tymor; nid yw'n rhywbeth lle gallwch chi blannu coed 12 mis y flwyddyn. A byddwn yn ddiolchgar, os oes gennych chi ddealltwriaeth o'r cynllun penodol hwnnw, pe byddech chi'n nodi pa un a ydych chi'n fodlon ar y cynnydd a wnaed o ran cael arian allan drwy'r drws, fel petai. Neu a oes angen adolygiad o'r cynllun hwn fel y gall y Llywodraeth gael yn ôl ar y trywydd iawn gyda'i tharged ei hun o 100,000 hectar o goetir i'w blannu yng Nghymru erbyn 2030?
English: Llywydd, we are very determined that we will increase the rate at which woodland in Wales is planted. We want to make full use of that woodland grant scheme, and where there are inefficiencies in the way that it operates, we are very keen indeed to eliminate them. Let me cheer the Member up briefly by saying that if there is any silver lining to Brexit, it may be that if the United Kingdom - and it's an 'if', isn't it - leaves the European Union and we have the administration of funds in our own hands, we recognise that there are some ways in which we might be able to administer those funds that would make it easier for money to leave the Welsh Government and to be deployed for the purposes for which we intend it to make a difference.
Welsh: Llywydd, rydym ni'n benderfynol iawn y byddwn yn cynyddu'r gyfradd o blannu coetir yng Nghymru. Rydym ni eisiau gwneud defnydd llawn o'r cynllun grant coetiroedd hwnnw, ac os oes aneffeithlonrwydd yn y modd y mae'n gweithredu, rydym ni'n awyddus dros ben i gael gwared ar hynny. Gadewch i mi godi calon yr Aelod am ychydig trwy ddweud, os oes unrhyw ymyl arian i Brexit, efallai mai hwnnw yw os bydd Deyrnas Unedig - ac 'os' yw hynny onid e - yn gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd a bod gweinyddu cyllid yn ein dwylo ein hunain, rydym ni'n cydnabod bod rhai ffyrdd y gallem ni weinyddu'r arian hwnnw a fyddai'n ei gwneud yn haws i arian adael Llywodraeth Cymru a chael ei ddefnyddio at y dibenion lle'r ydym ni'n bwriadu iddo wneud gwahaniaeth.
English: Llywydd, equity and inclusion are at the heart of our national mission for education. We are committed to ensuring all learners experience a high standard of education and reach their full potential. This is the purpose of this Assembly's Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018.
Welsh: Llywydd, mae tegwch a chynhwysiant yn ganolog i'n cenhadaeth genedlaethol ar gyfer addysg. Rydym ni wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau bod pob dysgwr yn cael addysg o safon uchel ac yn gwireddu ei lawn botensial. Dyma ddiben Deddf Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol a'r Tribiwnlys Addysg (Cymru) 2018 y Cynulliad hwn.
English: First Minister, Welsh Government figures show that children with special educational leads are being significantly over-represented in permanent and temporary exclusion from Welsh schools. Pupils with SEN made up to 60 per cent of all permanent exclusions from maintained schools in Wales, despite being only 23 per cent of the school population. These figures suggest that exclusions are not being used as a matter of last resort for children with SEN, but as a norm. Does the First Minister agree that there is an urgent need for overhauling how the educational staff deal with pupils who have special educational needs who are disruptive and to work with schools and local authorities to get the number of exclusions down in Wales? Thank you.
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, mae ffigurau Llywodraeth Cymru yn dangos bod plant ag anghenion addysgol arbennig yn cael eu gorgynrychioli'n sylweddol mewn gwaharddiadau parhaol a thros dro o ysgolion yng Nghymru. Roedd disgyblion ag AAA yn cynrychioli 60 y cant o'r holl waharddiadau parhaol o ysgolion a gynhelir yng Nghymru, er eu bod ddim ond yn 23 y cant o boblogaeth ysgolion. Mae'r ffigurau hyn yn awgrymu nad yw gwaharddiadau yn cael eu defnyddio fel dewis olaf ar gyfer plant sydd ag AAA, ond fel norm. A yw'r Prif Weinidog yn cytuno bod angen brys i weddnewid sut y mae'r staff addysgol yn ymdrin â disgyblion ag anghenion addysgol arbennig sy'n aflonyddgar ac i weithio gydag ysgolion ac awdurdodau lleol i leihau nifer y gwaharddiadau yng Nghymru? Diolch.
English: Llywydd, I share the Member's concern, and I know that the education Minister does as well, at the over-representation amongst school exclusions of pupils with additional learning needs. It's partly why we are investing £20 million to prepare the system and staff for the new regime that flows from the Act that was put on the statute book in this Chamber, and, in doing so, we certainly look to those figures to see a reduction in the proportion of school exclusion that comes from pupils that have those additional learning needs.
Welsh: Llywydd, rwyf i'n rhannu pryder yr Aelod, a gwn fod y Gweinidog addysg yn gwneud hynny hefyd, ynghylch gorgynrychiolaeth y disgyblion sydd ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol ymhlith gwaharddiadau o ysgolion. Dyna'n rhannol pam yr ydym ni'n buddsoddi £20 miliwn i baratoi'r system a'r staff ar gyfer y gyfundrefn newydd sy'n deillio o'r Ddeddf a roddwyd ar y llyfr statud yn y Siambr hon, a, thrwy wneud hynny, rydym ni'n sicr yn disgwyl gweld gostyngiad yn y ffigurau hynny o ran cyfran y gwaharddiadau o'r ysgol sy'n dod o blith disgyblion sydd â'r anghenion dysgu ychwanegol hynny.
English: First Minister, whilst I appreciate very much the legislation that Welsh Government's put into place to ensure that families are able to benefit from the additional learning needs support that they should be getting, we still get many letters from constituents expressing the challenges they face on a daily basis in being able to ensure that their children can get access to that support. Last week, I had a constituent who contacted me and said they had a diagnosis for their child, but they were getting difficulties in getting the local authority to actually deliver the support that diagnosis identified. Now, one of the important things, therefore, we need to ensure is that, whilst we put the legislation in place, we are able to ensure and enforce that that legislation is delivered by local authorities so that families no longer have to face the challenges that the legislation was there to change. Would you therefore look in the Welsh Government and see how we can actually ensure local authorities deliver the support needed when a child has a diagnosis, has those needs identified but, in a situation like this - he's going into a new school in September and doesn't know whether the support that has been given in a statement will be given to him yet.
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, er fy mod i'n gwerthfawrogi'n fawr iawn y ddeddfwriaeth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ei chyflwyno i sicrhau bod teuluoedd yn gallu elwa ar y cymorth anghenion dysgu ychwanegol y dylen nhw fod yn ei gael, rydym ni'n dal i gael llawer o lythyrau gan etholwyr yn cyfleu'r heriau y maen nhw'n eu hwynebu yn feunyddiol o ran gallu sicrhau bod eu plant yn gallu cael gafael ar y cymorth hwnnw. Yr wythnos diwethaf, cefais etholwr a gysylltodd â mi i ddweud ei fod wedi cael diagnosis ar gyfer ei blentyn, ond yn cael anawsterau o ran cael yr awdurdod lleol i ddarparu'r cymorth a nodwyd yn y diagnosis. Nawr, un o'r pethau pwysig, felly, y mae angen i ni sicrhau, tra ein bod ni'n rhoi'r ddeddfwriaeth ar waith, yw ein bod ni'n gallu sicrhau a gorfodi bod y ddeddfwriaeth honno yn cael ei darparu gan awdurdodau lleol fel nad oes yn rhaid i deuluoedd wynebu mwyach yr heriau yr oedd y ddeddfwriaeth yno i'w newid. A wnewch chi edrych felly yn Llywodraeth Cymru i weld sut y gallwn ni sicrhau mewn gwirionedd bod awdurdodau lleol yn darparu'r cymorth sydd ei angen pan fydd plentyn yn cael diagnosis, yn cael nodi'r anghenion hynny ond, mewn sefyllfa fel hon - mae'n mynd i ysgol newydd ym mis Medi ac nid yw'n gwybod hyd yn hyn pa un a fydd y cymorth a roddwyd mewn datganiad yn cael ei roi iddo.
English: Well, Llywydd, as David Rees knows, I know the Act itself is to be phased in from September of this year, so the Act is not yet - September of next year, I beg your pardon. So, the Act is not yet delivering the benefits that it's designed to achieve and which were endorsed on the floor of the Assembly. There is a mandatory phased introduction of the Act from September 2020 - that's why we are upskilling the profession in advance of it. The point, I think, that I want to underline in what the Member says is that there is an existing regime, and local authorities must comply with that existing regime. They have legal duties that they must discharge, and we have asked the five transformation leads that we have appointed to help smooth the path to the new regime to emphasise to local authorities their continuing obligations to meet the needs of young people with additional learning needs under the existing system right through until the new regime begins to make its impact.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, fel y mae David Rees yn gwybod, gwn y bydd y Ddeddf ei hun yn cael ei chyflwyno'n raddol o fis Medi eleni ymlaen, felly nid yw'r Ddeddf eto - Medi y flwyddyn nesaf, mae'n ddrwg gen i. Felly, nid yw'r Ddeddf yn cynnig y manteision y bwriedir iddi eu cynnig ac a gymeradwywyd ar lawr y Cynulliad hyd yma. Ceir cyflwyniad graddol gorfodol o'r Ddeddf o fis Medi 2020 - dyna pam yr ydym ni'n uwchsgilio'r proffesiwn ymlaen llaw. Y pwynt, rwy'n credu, yr wyf i eisiau ei danlinellu yn yr hyn y mae'r Aelod yn ei ddweud yw bod trefn bresennol, ac mae'n rhaid i awdurdodau lleol gydymffurfio â'r drefn bresennol honno. Mae ganddyn nhw ddyletswyddau cyfreithiol y mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw eu cyflawni, ac rydym ni wedi gofyn i'r pum arweinydd gweddnewid yr ydym ni wedi eu penodi i helpu i hwyluso'r llwybr at y drefn newydd i bwysleisio i awdurdodau lleol eu rhwymedigaethau parhaus i ddiwallu anghenion pobl ifanc ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol o dan y system bresennol yn ystod yr holl gyfnod tan y bydd y drefn newydd yn dechrau cael effaith.
English: Llywydd, over its lifetime, to date, Arbed has delivered schemes in South Wales Central to tackle fuel poverty benefiting over 3,000 properties. There are nine schemes in development for this year, in all parts of the region.
Welsh: Llywydd, yn ystod ei oes, hyd yn hyn, mae Arbed wedi darparu cynlluniau yng Nghanol De Cymru i fynd i'r afael â thlodi tanwydd sydd wedi bod o fudd i dros 3,000 o gartrefi. Mae naw cynllun yn cael eu datblygu ar gyfer eleni, ym mhob rhan o'r rhanbarth.
English: First Minister, there's an old joke about how many people it takes to change a light bulb, but the question should be: what does it cost your Welsh Labour Government to change a light bulb in Wales? The answer is up to £245 under Labour's Arbed scheme, because that is what contractors have been encouraged to charge for 'soft' lighting measures - in effect, changing light bulbs. And for water measures, which simply involves screwing an aerator into a tap, less than a couple of minutes' work, the price is up to £124. Are you also aware that your Government, in the fight against climate change, is paying Arbed to change boilers that can basically be brand-new, and they're installing less energy-efficient boilers? And that's the contractors themselves telling me that. This is because, once an area is identified for Arbed support, every house in the area is eligible to apply, with no due diligence, regardless of circumstances. So, I would say that your due diligence on Arbed is an embarrassment. People in Wales are struggling, facing costs across the board, and yet your Government is paying £240 to change one of these - up to £240, and £124 for an aerator. Do you acknowledge these figures? How can you justify them? And will you now launch an inquiry?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, ceir hen jôc am faint o bobl y mae'n ei gymryd i newid bwlb golau, ond yr hyn y dylai'r cwestiwn fod yw: beth mae'n ei gostio i'ch Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru chi newid bwlb golau yng Nghymru? Yr ateb yw hyd at £245 o dan gynllun Arbed Llafur, oherwydd dyna'r hyn y mae contractwyr wedi cael eu hannog i'w godi am fesurau goleuo 'ysgafn' - newid bylbiau golau i bob pwrpas. Ac ar gyfer mesurau dŵr, sy'n golygu'n syml sgriwio awyrydd ar dap, llai nag ychydig funudau o waith, mae'r pris hyd at £124. A ydych chi hefyd yn ymwybodol bod eich Llywodraeth chi, yn y frwydr yn erbyn y newid yn yr hinsawdd, yn talu Arbed i newid bwyleri a all fod yn newydd sbon fwy neu lai, a'u bod yn gosod bwyleri sy'n arbed llai o ynni? A'r contractwyr eu hunain sy'n dweud hynny wrthyf i. Mae hyn oherwydd, ar ôl i ardal gael ei nodi ar gyfer cymorth Arbed, mae pob tŷ yn yr ardal yn gymwys i wneud cais, heb unrhyw ddiwydrwydd dyladwy, waeth beth fo'r amgylchiadau. Felly, byddwn i'n dweud bod eich diwydrwydd dyladwy ar Arbed yn gywilyddus. Mae pobl yng Nghymru mewn trafferthion, yn wynebu costau o bob cwr, ac eto mae eich Llywodraeth yn talu £240 i newid un o'r rhain - hyd at £240, a £124 am awyrydd. A ydych chi'n cydnabod y ffigurau hyn? Sut y gallwch chi eu cyfiawnhau? Ac a wnewch chi lansio ymchwiliad nawr?
English: Llywydd, the Arbed contract was extensively scrutinised on the floor of this Assemby. The award of the contract was challenged by Members of this Assembly. Meetings were organised and reports produced in order to giver confidence to Members of the Assembly that the contract had been properly awarded, and that it would continue to add to the 54,000 homes in Wales that, as a result of the Arbed scheme, are now prospering as a result of it, and that 6,000 more homes in Wales will benefit from Arbed 3. That is the big picture here. There are families who were living in fuel poverty that are not living in fuel poverty today. They were people who were living in unacceptable conditions. They now live in homes that are well insulated and well heated. I think that's a matter to be proud of. I understand that the Member doesn't. FootnoteLink
Welsh: Llywydd, craffwyd yn helaeth ar gontract Arbed ar lawr y Cynulliad hwn. Heriwyd dyfarniad y contract gan Aelodau'r Cynulliad hwn. Trefnwyd cyfarfodydd a lluniwyd adroddiadau er mwyn rhoi hyder i Aelodau'r Cynulliad bod y contract wedi ei ddyfarnu'n briodol, ac y byddai'n parhau i ychwanegu at y 54,000 o gartrefi yng Nghymru sydd, o ganlyniad i'r cynllun Arbed, yn ffynnu erbyn hyn o ganlyniad iddo, a bydd 6,000 yn fwy o gartrefi yng Nghymru yn elwa ar Arbed 3. Dyna'r darlun mawr yn y fan yma. Mae teuluoedd a oedd yn byw mewn tlodi tanwydd nad ydyn nhw'n byw mewn tlodi tanwydd heddiw. Roedden nhw'n bobl a oedd yn byw o dan amodau annerbyniol. Maen nhw bellach yn byw mewn cartrefi sydd wedi eu hinsiwleiddio'n dda ac wedi eu cynhesu'n dda. Rwyf i'n credu bod hwnnw'n fater i ymfalchïo ynddo. Rwyf i'n deall nad yw'r Aelod yn gwneud hynny.

English: Llywydd, bank closures continue to have a detrimental impact on access to banking services for individuals, communities and small and medium-sized enterprises across Wales. Community banks have a potentially important role in regionalising and localising financial flows, and to continue the provision of banking services in communities such as Caerphilly.
Welsh: Llywydd, mae cau banciau yn parhau i gael effaith niweidiol ar fynediad at wasanaethau bancio i unigolion, cymunedau a busnesau bach a chanolig eu maint ledled Cymru. Efallai y bydd gan fanciau cymunedol swyddogaeth bwysig o ran rhanbarthu a lleoleiddio llifau ariannol, a pharhau'r ddarpariaeth o wasanaethau bancio mewn cymunedau fel Caerffili.
