English: Thank you. First Minister, a year on, may I just firstly take this opportunity, on this day of reflection, to remember all those who have devastatingly lost their lives to COVID, and also take this opportunity to thank all those on the front line that have gone above and beyond, and have witnessed sights that none of us would have wanted to witness, or hoped for them to witness? They have put in an incredible amount of effort into saving lives across Wales. It is recognised that it is a great achievement that, along with the volunteers and army, we have now vaccinated half of the Welsh adult population. So, thank you to the First Minister and the Government for that, and the part that they played alongside the UK Government in delivering that. Also, let me please just thank teachers and all those that have enabled us to be safe and to carry on. The virus has been incredibly cruel and nasty, and taken many amongst us far too soon. Our thoughts are with them and their families today and always. Personally, I didn't think this time last year, as we entered lockdown, that this pandemic would last more than a few weeks, and yet, here we are, a year on. It is important that we learn from mistakes made. It's important that we reflect. It's important that we mourn. But we must learn from those mistakes during the pandemic on how we've governed, and how we've looked to control the virus, and the effects it's had on livelihoods, and also recognise the impact that it's had not only on livelihoods, on businesses, on education, but also on mental and physical health, both young and old. In the early stage of this pandemic, tough decisions had to be made, and at no point were they going to be decisions that we all agreed on or thought were perfect. We were in unchartered waters. We all recognise that, and as long as those in power admit that mistakes were made, it is then, and only then, that we can learn from the mistakes that have been made. There have been a lot of great decisions in the UK, and by the Welsh Government, and I hope we've given credit where credit is due. But it's also true that the right balance hasn't always been struck. Our economy has often missed out, resulting in the recovery part of this pandemic, which will be faced after the coming election, being of paramount importance, to ensure that we leave things in the right place for future generations. And also, it's vitally important that we look to address those vast inequalities that have been highlighted by this pandemic, and really take this as an opportunity to right those wrongs. Our children have silently suffered. They've given up a year of their childhood, which has affected development and their education, and they've also given up physical exercise, for the sake of the vulnerable in our society. We owe them a great debt. But we must ask questions. Was it entirely necessary, when we look at the figures of the rate of the spread of infection in outdoor spaces, for example, to shut down organised outdoor activities for as long as we have done, as many were deemed COVID safe, and hundreds was spent on them to make sure they were safe? Was it entirely necessary not to let all our children go back into school, educational settings until they did? Some, of course, are still not back in school. The impact on our children -
Welsh: Diolch. Prif Weinidog, flwyddyn yn ddiweddarach, a gaf fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn yn gyntaf, ar y diwrnod hwn o fyfyrdod, i gofio am bawb sydd, yn drychinebus, wedi colli eu bywyd i COVID, a manteisio ar y cyfle hwn hefyd i ddiolch i bawb ar y rheng flaen sydd wedi mynd yr ail filltir, ac wedi gweld golygfeydd na fyddai'r un ohonom wedi dymuno eu gweld, na gobeithio bod yn dystion iddynt? Maen nhw wedi rhoi cymaint o ymdrech anhygoel i achub bywydau ledled Cymru. Cydnabyddir ei fod yn gyflawniad gwych ein bod ni, ynghyd â'r gwirfoddolwyr a'r fyddin, wedi brechu hanner poblogaeth oedolion Cymru erbyn hyn. Felly, diolch i'r Prif Weinidog a'r Llywodraeth am hynny, a'u swyddogaeth ochr yn ochr â Llywodraeth y DU i gyflawni hynny. Hefyd, gadewch imi ddiolch i'r athrawon a phawb sydd wedi ein galluogi ni i fod yn ddiogel a dal ati. Mae'r feirws wedi bod yn anhygoel o greulon a chas, ac wedi cymryd llawer ohonom yn llawer rhy fuan. Mae ein meddyliau ni gyda nhw a'u teuluoedd heddiw a phob amser. Yn bersonol, nid oeddwn i'n credu'r adeg hon y llynedd, ar ddechrau'r cyfnod clo, y byddai'r pandemig hwn yn para mwy nag ychydig wythnosau, ac eto i gyd, dyma ni, flwyddyn yn ddiweddarach. Mae'n bwysig ein bod yn dysgu o'n camgymeriadau. Mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n myfyrio. Mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n galaru. Ond mae'n rhaid inni ddysgu o'r camgymeriadau a wnaed yn ystod y pandemig o ran sut rydym wedi llywodraethu, a sut rydym wedi ceisio rheoli'r feirws, a'r effeithiau a gafodd hynny ar fywoliaeth pobl, a chydnabod yr effaith a gafodd hefyd nid yn unig ar fywoliaeth, ar fusnesau, ar addysg, ond ar iechyd meddwl a chorfforol hefyd, yr hen a'r ifanc fel ei gilydd. Yng ngham cynnar y pandemig hwn, fe fu'n rhaid gwneud penderfyniadau anodd, ac nid oeddent yn mynd i fod yn benderfyniadau y byddem ni i gyd yn cytuno arnyn nhw nac yn eu hystyried nhw'n berffaith ar unrhyw adeg. Roeddem ar dir hollol newydd. Rydym ni i gyd yn cydnabod hynny, a phan fydd y rhai sydd ag awdurdod yn cyfaddef bod camgymeriadau wedi eu gwneud, bryd hynny'n unig y gallwn ni ddysgu o'r camgymeriadau hynny. Fe gafwyd llawer o benderfyniadau mawr yn y DU, a chan Lywodraeth Cymru, ac rwy'n gobeithio ein bod wedi rhoi clod lle mae'n ddyledus. Ond mae'n wir dweud hefyd na chafodd y cydbwysedd cywir ei daro bob amser. Mae ein heconomi ni wedi colli allan yn aml, gan arwain at y rhan adferol bwysig iawn o'r pandemig hwn, a fydd yn cael ei wynebu ar ôl yr etholiad sydd i ddod, i sicrhau ein bod ni'n gadael pethau yn y cyflwr iawn ar gyfer cenedlaethau'r dyfodol. A hefyd, mae'n hanfodol bwysig ein bod ni'n ceisio mynd i'r afael â'r anghydraddoldebau enfawr hynny a ddaeth i'r amlwg yn y pandemig hwn, a chymryd y cyfle gwirioneddol hwn i unioni'r camweddau hynny. Mae ein plant ni wedi dioddef yn dawel. Maen nhw wedi ildio blwyddyn o'u plentyndod, sydd wedi effeithio ar eu datblygiad a'u haddysg, ac maen nhw wedi rhoi'r gorau i wneud ymarfer corff, er lles y rhai sy'n agored i niwed yn ein cymdeithas ni. Rydym mewn dyled enfawr iddynt. Ond mae'n rhaid inni ofyn cwestiynau. O edrych ar ffigurau cyfradd lledaeniad yr haint mewn mannau awyr agored, er enghraifft, a oedd yn gwbl angenrheidiol cau gweithgareddau awyr agored a drefnwyd am gyhyd, gan fod llawer ohonynt yn cael eu hystyried yn ddiogel rhag perygl COVID, ac fe wariwyd cannoedd arnynt i sicrhau eu bod yn ddiogel? A oedd yn gwbl angenrheidiol peidio â gadael i'n plant ni i gyd fynd yn ôl i'r ysgol, neu i leoliadau addysgol nes iddyn nhw wneud hynny? Nid yw rhai, wrth gwrs, yn ôl yn yr ysgol hyd heddiw. Mae'r effaith ar ein plant ni -
