English: Leader of the house, the Welsh Government's recently published digital inclusion progress report states that Merthyr was identified as an area with limited digital inclusion activity taking place. This led to the formation of the Get Merthyr Tydfil Online partnership. Given that the Barclays digital development index 2017 claimed that Welsh employees score among the lowest of all UK regions for their digital skills, and that employers are willing to pay a premium for workers with word processing, data analysis and social media capabilities, will the leader of the house update the Assembly on the work of the partnership in improving digital inclusion in Merthyr and surrounding valleys, please?
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, mae adroddiad cynnydd diweddar Llywodraeth Cymru ar gynhwysiant digidol yn nodi bod Merthyr Tudful yn ardal heb lawer o weithgarwch cynhwysiant digidol yn digwydd ynddi. Arweiniodd hyn at ffurfio partneriaeth Get Merthyr Tydfil Online. O gofio bod mynegai datblygu digidol Barclays 2017 wedi honni bod sgôr gweithwyr yng Nghymru ymhlith yr isaf o holl ranbarthau'r DU o ran eu sgiliau digidol, a bod cyflogwyr yn barod i dalu premiwm i weithwyr â sgiliau prosesu geiriau, dadansoddi data a chyfryngau cymdeithasol, a wnaiff arweinydd y tŷ roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Cynulliad ar waith y bartneriaeth ar wella cynhwysiant digidol ym Merthyr Tudful a'r cymoedd cyfagos, os gwelwch yn dda?
English: I think, Llywydd, you've agreed to combine this with question 3. Digital Communities Wales, and many other actions in our framework and delivery plan, support more people to gain maximum benefit from the life-changing opportunities digital technologies can offer.
Welsh: Lywydd, credaf eich bod wedi cytuno i gyfuno'r cwestiwn hwn â chwestiwn 3. Mae Cymunedau Digidol Cymru, a llawer o gamau gweithredu eraill yn ein fframwaith a'n cynllun cyflawni, yn cefnogi mwy o bobl i gael y budd mwyaf posibl o'r cyfleoedd sy'n newid bywydau y mae technolegau digidol yn gallu eu cynnig.
English: Thank you. Only 51 per cent of pensioners living alone and 25 per cent of disabled people in Wales have internet access. A lack of skills and low confidence are often the key factors preventing people from getting online. Learning how to use technology and access the internet undoubtedly reduces loneliness and social isolation among older people, by helping them to stay in touch with family and friends. Gaining digital skills can be life changing, enabling people to rediscover old connections, and form new ones. Inter-generational projects have been shown to benefit in a variety of fields, and digital skills are now second nature to most young people, and they benefit from sharing their knowledge. There are some great examples around Wales where this has happened, but what more can the Welsh Government do to encourage and to support inter-generational digital projects?
Welsh: Diolch. Dim ond 51 y cant o bensiynwyr sy'n byw ar eu pen eu hunain, a 25 y cant o bobl anabl yng Nghymru sydd â mynediad at y rhyngrwyd. Mae diffyg sgiliau a hyder yn aml yn ffactorau allweddol sy'n atal pobl rhag mynd ar-lein. Mae dysgu sut i ddefnyddio technoleg a mynd ar y rhyngrwyd, yn ddi-os, yn lleihau unigrwydd ac unigedd cymdeithasol ymhlith pobl hŷn, gan eu helpu i gadw mewn cysylltiad â theulu a ffrindiau. Mae meithrin sgiliau digidol yn gallu newid byd, a galluogi pobl i ailddarganfod hen gysylltiadau a ffurfio rhai newydd. Dangoswyd bod prosiectau rhyng-genhedlaeth o fudd mewn amrywiaeth o feysydd, ac mae sgiliau digidol yn ail natur i'r rhan fwyaf o bobl ifanc erbyn hyn, ac maent yn elwa o rannu eu gwybodaeth. Ceir rhai enghreifftiau gwych o amgylch Cymru lle mae hyn wedi digwydd, ond beth arall y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud i annog a chefnogi prosiectau digidol rhyng-genhedlaeth?
English: Well, as I was saying, we have some very innovative projects going on. But just to use some of the stats that we have: 85 per cent of adults in Wales now regularly use the internet, compared to 66 per cent in 2010, and £1 million a year is invested in the dedicated digital inclusion programme, our Digital Communities Wales programme, and we've done that every year since 2015. Since then, we've supported over 117,300 individuals to engage with technology, and we've trained over 1,000 young digital heroes, which is the programme we're talking about, where young people from schools, colleges and youth organisations volunteer to support older people to engage in digital technology. Most of the funding activities in this regard are aimed at addressing the basic digital skills that we were just talking about, allowing older people to become less socially isolated and to have access to basic services. But we're very much aware that we also want to increase the digital skills of the youngsters who are actually doing the volunteering and the teaching, and to include that in the curriculum work that we're doing, and with our digital heroes scheme. So, it's a really great programme, and we're actually developing both sides of that, and we're looking to roll that out as widely as possible through Wales. I've been discussing with the Cabinet Secretary for health what we can do in hospitals for some socially isolated people, who have lengthy stays in hospitals, where, in a sense, Llywydd, we have a captive audience.
Welsh: Wel, fel y dywedais, mae gennym brosiectau arloesol iawn ar y gweill. Ond os caf ddefnyddio rhai o'r ystadegau sydd gennym: mae 85 y cant o oedolion yng Nghymru bellach yn defnyddio'r rhyngrwyd yn rheolaidd, o gymharu â 66 y cant yn 2010, a buddsoddir £1 filiwn y flwyddyn yn y rhaglen cynhwysiant digidol benodol, ein rhaglen Cymunedau Digidol Cymru, ac rydym wedi gwneud hynny bob blwyddyn ers 2015. Ers hynny, rydym wedi cynorthwyo dros 117,300 o unigolion i ymgymryd â thechnoleg, ac rydym wedi hyfforddi dros 1,000 o arwyr digidol ifanc, sef y rhaglen rydym yn sôn amdani, lle mae pobl ifanc o ysgolion, colegau a sefydliadau ieuenctid yn gwirfoddoli i gynorthwyo pobl hŷn i ymwneud â thechnoleg ddigidol. Mae'r rhan fwyaf o weithgareddau ariannu yn y cyswllt hwn wedi'u hanelu at fynd i'r afael â'r sgiliau digidol sylfaenol roeddem yn sôn amdanynt, gan alluogi pobl hŷn i fod yn llai ynysig yn gymdeithasol ac i gael mynediad at wasanaethau sylfaenol. Ond rydym yn ymwybodol iawn hefyd ein bod eisiau cynyddu sgiliau digidol y bobl ifanc sy'n gwneud y gwaith gwirfoddol a'r addysgu mewn gwirionedd, a chynnwys hynny yn y gwaith cwricwlwm rydym yn ei wneud, a chyda'n cynllun arwyr digidol. Felly, mae'n rhaglen wych, ac rydym yn datblygu'r ddwy ochr i hynny mewn gwirionedd, ac yn bwriadu cyflwyno hynny mor eang â phosibl drwy Gymru. Rwyf wedi bod yn trafod ag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros iechyd ynglŷn â'r hyn y gallwn ei wneud mewn ysbytai ar gyfer pobl sydd wedi'u hynysu yn gymdeithasol, sydd wedi bod yn yr ysbyty am gyfnodau hir, lle mae gennym gynulleidfa barod ar un ystyr, Lywydd.
English: Leader of the house, digital inclusion is dependent on adequate broadband speeds, and I know, over many months, you've shown a keen interest in my notspots in Monmouthshire, and visited a number of them. You'll be aware that, recently, the UK Government announced that they wanted to roll out a fifth generation pilot across my area in south-east Wales. Can you update us on any discussions you've had with the UK Government about that pilot, about the timescale for the pilot, the extent of it, and how the Welsh Government intends to build on that to learn the lessons from that pilot and then roll out the good practice across the rest of south Wales and the rest of Wales?
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, mae cynhwysiant digidol yn dibynnu ar gyflymderau band eang digonol, a gwn, dros fisoedd lawer, eich bod wedi dangos diddordeb brwd yn fy mannau gwan yn Sir Fynwy, ac wedi ymweld â nifer ohonynt. Fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol fod Llywodraeth y DU wedi cyhoeddi yn ddiweddar eu bod eisiau cyflwyno cynllun peilot pumed genhedlaeth ar draws fy ardal yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru. A allwch roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i ni ynglŷn ag unrhyw drafodaethau a gawsoch gyda Llywodraeth y DU mewn perthynas â'r cynllun peilot hwnnw, yr amserlen ar gyfer y peilot, ei gyrhaeddiad, a sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu adeiladu ar hynny i ddysgu gwersi o'r cynllun peilot hwnnw a chyflwyno'r arfer da ar draws gweddill de Cymru a gweddill Cymru?
English: Yes, we've asked Innovation Point to look into exactly how we can best exploit the 5G technologies and, actually, a large number of different pots of money that have come available in a number of different configurations, and Llywydd, yesterday, during my statement, I discussed some of those. I won't reiterate all of them, but we absolutely need to make sure that we are on top of the technology, that we assist small and medium-sized enterprises to exploit the technology, that we have the spectrum sales done in a way that allows us to access those technologies and doesn't cut them off, and that we also encourage the automotive industry in particular, but other digital-enabled industries, to come here to exploit the skills that we're producing. So, we have a number of innovations going on at the same time, including things like the National Software Academy, which we fund over in Newport, which has a very innovative degree programme based on solving industry problems directly and which are then rolled out into the industries, and Innovation Point itself. There are a number of discussions that we have ongoing with our industries here already in Wales, because there's a big issue about upskilling the current workforce, as well as attracting in innovative, digital technologies. So, there are a large number of different ways that we're supporting those developments around the tech hubs, in the Valleys in particular.
Welsh: Gallaf, rydym wedi gofyn i'r Arloesfa ymchwilio i sut yn union y gallwn fanteisio ar y technolegau 5G yn y ffordd orau ynghyd â nifer fawr o ffynonellau gwahanol o arian sydd bellach ar gael mewn nifer o wahanol gyfluniadau, mewn gwirionedd, a thrafodais rai o'r rheini ddoe, Lywydd, yn ystod fy natganiad. Nid wyf am ailadrodd pob un ohonynt, ond yn sicr, mae angen i ni wneud yn siŵr ein bod ar flaen y gad o ran y dechnoleg, ein bod yn helpu busnesau bach a chanolig i fanteisio ar y dechnoleg, ein bod yn sicrhau bod y broses o werthu sbectra'n cael ei gwneud mewn ffordd sy'n ein galluogi i gael mynediad at y technolegau hynny heb eu datgysylltu, a'n bod hefyd yn annog y diwydiant moduron yn benodol, ond diwydiannau digidol eraill, i ddod yma i fanteisio ar y sgiliau rydym yn eu cynhyrchu. Felly, mae gennym nifer o fentrau arloesol yn digwydd ar yr un pryd, gan gynnwys pethau fel yr Academi Feddalwedd Genedlaethol yr ydym yn ei hariannu yng Nghasnewydd, sydd â rhaglen radd arloesol iawn yn seiliedig ar ddatrys problemau diwydiannau'n uniongyrchol ac sydd wedyn yn cael eu cyflwyno i'r diwydiannau hynny, a'r Arloesfa ei hun. Eisoes, mae nifer o drafodaethau parhaus ar y gweill rhyngom a'n diwydiannau yma yng Nghymru, oherwydd mae'n bwysig gwella sgiliau'r gweithlu cyfredol, yn ogystal â denu technolegau digidol arloesol. Felly, mae yna nifer fawr o ffyrdd gwahanol rydym yn cefnogi'r datblygiadau hynny o amgylch yr hybiau technoleg, yn y Cymoedd yn benodol.
English: The leader of the house will excuse my lack of grasp of some of the issues with technology around them. I come from a generation where communication technology consisted of stretching a string across the road and having a tin can either end. [ Laughter. ] But I understand that the 96 per cent superfast broadband in the Pontypridd area is very good. Can I raise with you the issue of estates - new developed estates that are being built? There is an example in my area of Dyffryn y Coed, a Persimmon development in Llantwit Fardre, where there were two phases. The first phase connected to superfast broadband through the fibre broadband, and that's fine. But phase 2 is not connected to that - it doesn't have that highest level, because it hasn't been asked for by the developers. Now, surely, there must be an issue where new developments, almost as part of their planning permission - that there should be a requirement that they actually do this, because I now have a large number of constituents who tell me that the best advice that they have is to set up a legal entity to apply for a grant of £4,800, and then there's a 17-step process, which will take 12 months, in order to actually get that sort of fibre connection. I have written to you about this, but is this a problem that has been arising in places? What can we do about it? And should we not be ensuring that it's a mandatory obligation upon developers?
Welsh: Bydd arweinydd y tŷ yn esgusodi fy niffyg dealltwriaeth o rai o'r materion sy'n ymwneud â thechnoleg. Dof o genhedlaeth lle roedd technoleg cyfathrebu yn golygu ymestyn llinyn ar draws y ffordd a rhoi tun ar bob pen iddo. [ Chwerthin. ] Ond rwy'n deall bod band eang cyflym iawn 96 y cant yn ardal Pontypridd yn dda iawn. A gaf fi ofyn i chi ynglŷn ag ystadau - ystadau newydd sy'n cael eu hadeiladu? Mae yna enghraifft yn fy ardal yn Nyffryn y Coed, datblygiad Persimmon yn Llanilltud Faerdref, lle roedd yna ddau gam. Roedd y cam cyntaf yn cysylltu â band eang cyflym iawn drwy'r band eang ffeibr, ac mae hwnnw'n iawn. Ond nid yw cam 2 yn cysylltu â hwnnw - nid oes ganddo'r lefel uchaf honno, oherwydd ni ofynnodd y datblygwyr amdani. Nawr, yn sicr, rhaid bod gofyniad sy'n dweud bod yn rhaid i ddatblygiadau newydd, bron fel rhan o'u caniatâd cynllunio - gofyniad i wneud hyn mewn gwirionedd, oherwydd mae gennyf nifer fawr o etholwyr bellach sy'n dweud wrthyf mai'r cyngor gorau y maent yn ei gael yw sefydlu endid cyfreithiol i wneud cais am grant o £4,800, yna mae'n broses 17 cam, a fydd yn cymryd 12 mis, i gael y math hwnnw o gysylltiad ffeibr mewn gwirionedd. Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu atoch am hyn, ond a yw hon yn broblem sydd wedi codi mewn mannau? Beth y gallwn ei wneud ynglŷn â hynny? Ac oni ddylem fod yn sicrhau ei bod yn rhwymedigaeth orfodol ar ddatblygwyr?
English: Yes, it's been a continuing thorn in our side, actually, and this is the whole issue about whether this is an infrastructure technology or whether it's a luxury product. Unfortunately, the UK Government persist in thinking of it as a luxury product and not an infrastructure, and therefore we have less good powers in the area in terms of what we can do. But I have had extensive conversations, both with my Cabinet Secretary with planning responsibility and, actually, with the Minister for Housing and Regeneration, about what we can do, both in encouraging councils to put it in as part of 106 agreements, for example, and in encouraging the house builders to actually wire their properties. There is an agreement with BT for house builders, where they build over 30 houses at the same time, to put the infrastructure in. But otherwise it's a negotiation between the developer and whatever technology company they're particularly negotiating with. However, the scheme you're talking about is a BT community fibre scheme. We do have other schemes available in Wales and I think you have written to me, so I will be getting in touch with you about other solutions that may be possible for that particular community. It is an ongoing problem that we're aware of and that we're trying to work on.
Welsh: Ydi, mae wedi bod yn ddraenen gyson yn ein hystlys mewn gwirionedd, ac mae'r holl fater yn ymwneud ag a yw'n dechnoleg seilwaith neu'n gynnyrch moethus. Yn anffodus, mae Llywodraeth y DU yn parhau i'w ystyried yn gynnyrch moethus yn hytrach na seilwaith, ac felly mae gennym lai o bwerau da yn y maes o ran yr hyn y gallwn ei wneud. Ond rwyf wedi cael sgyrsiau helaeth, gyda fy Ysgrifennydd Cabinet sydd â chyfrifoldeb dros gynllunio, a chyda'r Gweinidog Tai ac Adfywio mewn gwirionedd, ynglŷn â'r hyn y gallwn ei wneud i annog cynghorau i'w gynnwys yn rhan o gytundebau 106, er enghraifft, ac i annog yr adeiladwyr tai i osod gwifrau yn eu heiddo mewn gwirionedd. Mae gan adeiladwyr tai, lle maent yn adeiladu dros 30 o dai ar yr un pryd, gytundeb â BT i osod y seilwaith. Ond fel arall mae'n fater o negodi rhwng y datblygwr a pha gwmni technoleg bynnag y maent yn negodi â hwy. Fodd bynnag, mae'r cynllun rydych yn sôn amdano yn gynllun ffeibr cymunedol BT. Mae gennym gynlluniau eraill ar gael yng Nghymru a chredaf eich bod wedi ysgrifennu ataf, felly byddaf yn cysylltu â chi ynglŷn ag atebion eraill a allai fod yn bosibl ar gyfer y gymuned arbennig honno. Mae'n broblem barhaus yr ydym yn ymwybodol ohoni ac rydym yn ceisio ei datrys.
English: Leader of the house, Newport has been attracting investment into the digital sector and is keen to attract significantly more with support from Welsh Government. You mentioned the software academy and the potential of degree-level qualifications. Does there also need to be even more emphasis on training for people who are in, perhaps, lower paid jobs at the moment, and are part-time, so that they can upskill, increase their income and benefit from but also drive the development of the digital economy we want to see?
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, mae Casnewydd wedi bod yn denu buddsoddiad i'r sector digidol ac mae'n awyddus i ddenu llawer mwy gyda chymorth gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Fe sonioch chi am yr academi feddalwedd a'r potensial ar gyfer cymwysterau lefel gradd. A oes angen sicrhau hefyd fod hyd yn oed mwy o bwyslais ar hyfforddiant ar gyfer pobl sydd, efallai, mewn swyddi ar gyflogau is ar hyn o bryd, ac sy'n rhan-amser, fel y gallant uwchsgilio, cynyddu eu hincwm a llywio datblygiad yr economi ddigidol rydym eisiau ei gweld yn ogystal ag elwa ohoni?
English: Yes, absolutely. There's a need for science, technology, engineering and mathematics-related skills right through the spectrum. So, we want to produce the graduates of the future but we also need the technicians and so on. So, we have a number of employability schemes. They're not in my portfolio, but we have a large number of employability schemes and flexible skills programmes, which are available to existing companies to do just that - to upskill their current workforce. We also have employability schemes for people not yet in the market to get their skills into that. So, both of those things are covered. The software academy is looking at doing outreach for people who want to perhaps do level 3 skills as well - so A-level equivalent and higher national diploma, with a route to going on to higher education or indeed with a route to going into employment at that point. So, we are exploring that. There definitely is a need for everybody at every level of the range of abilities.
Welsh: Oes, yn bendant. Mae angen sgiliau sy'n gysylltiedig â gwyddoniaeth, technoleg, peirianneg a mathemateg ar draws y sbectrwm. Felly, rydym eisiau cynhyrchu graddedigion y dyfodol, ond rydym hefyd angen y technegwyr ac ati. Felly, mae gennym nifer o gynlluniau cyflogadwyedd. Nid ydynt yn rhan o fy mhortffolio, ond mae gennym nifer fawr o gynlluniau cyflogadwyedd a rhaglenni sgiliau hyblyg, sydd ar gael i gwmnïau sy'n bodoli eisoes i wneud yn union hynny - uwchsgilio eu gweithlu cyfredol. Hefyd, mae gennym gynlluniau cyflogadwyedd ar gyfer pobl nad ydynt eto yn y farchnad i gael eu sgiliau i mewn iddi. Felly, caiff y ddau beth hynny eu cynnwys. Mae'r academi feddalwedd yn edrych ar gyflwyno allgymorth ar gyfer pobl a allai fod eisiau gwneud sgiliau lefel 3 yn ogystal - felly cymwysterau sy'n gyfwerth â lefel A a'r diploma cenedlaethol uwch, gyda llwybr i gamu ymlaen at addysg uwch, neu lwybr i mewn i gyflogaeth yn wir ar y pwynt hwnnw. Felly, rydym yn ystyried hynny. Yn bendant, mae angen pawb ar bob lefel o'r ystod o alluoedd.
English: Thank you, Llywydd. Equality means ensuring that people can live their lives to their full potential, and that they can live independently. I'm sure that you would agree with those words. That is why the social model in relation to disability has been a way of empowering the lives of disabled people, and making public services think about disability in a different manner. One of the greatest challenges that faces many disabled people is lack of finance or poverty, and, obviously, poverty can make the quality of life of a disabled person significantly worse. Do you agree that the Welsh Government has a responsibility to give financial support to disabled people and families with disabled children, so that they can overcome some of the barriers that society places upon them?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Mae cydraddoldeb yn golygu sicrhau bod pobl yn gallu byw eu bywydau i'w llawn botensial, a'u bod yn gallu byw yn annibynnol. Rydw i'n siŵr eich bod chi'n cytuno efo'r geiriau yna. Dyna pam fod y model cymdeithasol ynglŷn ag anabledd wedi bod yn ffordd o rymuso bywydau pobl anabl, ac wedi gwneud i wasanaethau cyhoeddus feddwl am anabledd mewn ffordd wahanol. Un o'r heriau mwyaf sy'n wynebu llawer o bobl anabl ydy diffyg arian neu dlodi. Yn amlwg, mae tlodi yn gallu gwneud ansawdd bywyd person anabl yn sylweddol waeth. A ydych chi'n cytuno bod gan Lywodraeth Cymru gyfrifoldeb i roi cefnogaeth ariannol i bobl anabl a theuluoedd sydd â phlant anabl, fel eu bod yn gallu goresgyn rhai o'r rhwystrau mae cymdeithas yn eu gosod arnyn nhw?
English: Yes, indeed. The Member, as always, raises a very important point. It's not actually directly in my portfolio. I have an overarching view of equalities that I work with all of the other Ministers and Cabinet Secretaries on. So, it's actually my colleague the Minister for children who actually deals with most of the funds available, but I have very regular meetings with him about the effect on disabled families and their communities. We work very closely with Disability Wales and a number of other groups in the sector to make sure that we do maximise the funding available. There is a limit to what we can do in terms of the universal credit roll-out, for example, which is causing some concern in the areas where it's been fully rolled out, but we are aware of some of those problems.
Welsh: Ie, yn wir. Mae'r Aelod, fel bob amser, yn codi pwynt pwysig iawn. Nid yw'n rhan uniongyrchol o fy mhortffolio mewn gwirionedd. Mae gennyf farn drosfwaol ar y cydraddoldebau rwy'n gweithio arnynt gyda'r holl Weinidogion a'r holl Ysgrifenyddion Cabinet eraill. Felly, mewn gwirionedd, fy nghyd-Aelod, y Gweinidog plant, sy'n ymdrin â'r rhan fwyaf o'r cyllid sydd ar gael, ond rwy'n cael cyfarfodydd rheolaidd iawn gydag ef am yr effaith ar deuluoedd anabl a'u cymunedau. Rydym yn gweithio'n agos iawn gydag Anabledd Cymru a nifer o grwpiau eraill yn y sector i wneud yn siŵr ein bod yn manteisio i'r eithaf ar y cyllid sydd ar gael. Mae terfyn i'r hyn y gallwn ei wneud o ran cyflwyno'r credyd cynhwysol, er enghraifft, sy'n achosi peth pryder yn yr ardaloedd lle mae wedi'i gyflwyno'n llawn, ond rydym yn ymwybodol o rai o'r problemau hynny.
