English: Well, Llywydd, I want to go back to the first point the Member raised because I don't agree with him at all that there has been no progress in relation to the provision of Welsh language services in the health sector. It's one, I think, of the really heartening things that has changed in the last decade that when I go into hospitals in any part of Wales now I see members of staff wearing visible signs that tell you that they are able and prepared to provide a service through the medium of Welsh. We have to encourage those people, we have to support those people, we have to find more of them, of course, but it doesn't help the cause of doing that to act as though those people who have been part of the real effort through the 'Mwy na geiriau' programme - if we dismiss their efforts and act as though nothing at all has been achieved. A great deal has been achieved. The position is very different to what it was. That isn't to say, and particularly in areas like psychiatry, that there isn't a lot more that we want to do, but we bring about improvement by encouraging people who are willing to be part of that effort rather than dismissing their efforts as though they had made no difference. Now, when my colleague the education Minister says to Members that higher education institutions are independent bodies, they have to be that. It is simply not right that we should ever seek to interfere in the decisions that they make. As a Government, we have worked hard to sustain the sector here in Wales. We've worked with the sector in order to be able to do that. That's why I was, when I went to Aberystwyth yesterday, determined to meet with the vice-chancellor and her colleagues to hear about the work that they are doing and what we can do to support them in their efforts. It's why the education Minister met with the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales earlier today in order to carry on that effort. We understand that there are challenges. Of course there are challenges, a decade into austerity, in every part of what the public service tries to achieve in Wales, and higher education is no different. But the difference between the higher education sector in England and that in Wales is that we work with the sector with the aim always of supporting it rather than simply saying that market forces will apply and that those who go to the wall will go to the wall regardless.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, hoffwn i fynd yn ôl at y pwynt cyntaf a gododd yr Aelod oherwydd nid wyf i'n cytuno ag ef o gwbl na fu unrhyw gynnydd o ran y ddarpariaeth o wasanaethau Cymraeg yn y sector iechyd. Credaf ei fod yn un o'r pethau gwirioneddol galonogol sydd wedi newid yn ystod y degawd diwethaf fy mod i erbyn hyn, pan fyddaf i'n mynd i ysbytai mewn unrhyw ran o Gymru, yn gweld aelodau o staff yn gwisgo arwyddion amlwg sy'n dweud wrthych eu bod nhw'n gallu ac yn barod i ddarparu gwasanaeth trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Mae'n rhaid i ni annog y bobl hynny, mae'n rhaid i ni gefnogi'r bobl hynny, mae'n rhaid i ni ddod o hyd i fwy ohonyn nhw, wrth gwrs, ond nid yw'n helpu'r achos o wneud hynny i ymddwyn fel pe byddai'r bobl hynny sydd wedi bod yn rhan o'r ymdrech wirioneddol drwy'r rhaglen 'Mwy na geiriau' - os byddwn ni'n diystyru eu hymdrechion ac yn ymddwyn fel pe na byddai dim o gwbl wedi ei gyflawni. Mae llawer iawn wedi ei gyflawni. Mae'r sefyllfa'n wahanol iawn i sut yr oedd hi. Nid yw hynny'n golygu, ac yn enwedig mewn meysydd fel seiciatreg, nad oes llawer mwy yr ydym ni eisiau ei wneud, ond rydym ni'n sicrhau gwelliant trwy annog pobl sy'n barod i fod yn rhan o'r ymdrech honno yn hytrach na diystyru eu hymdrechion fel pe na bydden nhw wedi gwneud unrhyw wahaniaeth. Nawr, pan fydd fy nghyd-Aelod y Gweinidog addysg yn dweud wrth yr Aelodau bod sefydliadau addysg uwch yn gyrff annibynnol, mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw fod yn hynny. Mae'n gwbl amhriodol y dylem ni fyth geisio ymyrryd yn y penderfyniadau y maen nhw'n eu gwneud. Fel Llywodraeth, rydym ni wedi gweithio'n galed i gynnal y sector yma yng Nghymru. Rydym ni wedi gweithio gyda'r sector er mwyn gallu gwneud hynny. Dyna pam yr oeddwn i'n benderfynol, pan euthum i Aberystwyth ddoe, o gyfarfod â'r is-ganghellor a'i chydweithwyr i glywed am y gwaith y maen nhw'n ei wneud a'r hyn y gallwn ni ei wneud i'w cynorthwyo yn eu hymdrechion. Dyma pam y cyfarfu'r Gweinidog addysg â Chyngor Cyllido Addysg Uwch Cymru yn gynharach heddiw er mwyn parhau â'r ymdrech honno. Rydym ni'n deall bod heriau. Wrth gwrs bod heriau, ar ôl degawd o gyni cyllidol, ym mhob rhan o'r hyn y mae'r gwasanaeth cyhoeddus yn ceisio ei gyflawni yng Nghymru, ac nid yw addysg uwch yn ddim gwahanol. Ond y gwahaniaeth rhwng y sector addysg uwch yn Lloegr a'r un yng Nghymru yw ein bod ni'n gweithio gyda'r sector gyda'r nod bob amser o'i gefnogi yn hytrach na dim ond dweud y bydd grymoedd y farchnad yn berthnasol ac y bydd y rhai sy'n mynd i'r wal yn mynd i'r wal beth bynnag.
