English: And, if the figures do stack up, we are more than willing to assess the benefits of them. But, in terms of the wider question about how much we put in and how much we take out, the Member is absolutely right. For the scheme at the moment, it's cost £1 million. There's something in the region, at the moment, of about 17,500 pass holders; there have been 1.5 million passenger journeys. Compare that to more than £0.25 billion that we've put into bus services in the totality as a Government and with local government for 101 million passenger journeys per year. I've been very clear in the past, and I'm going to say it again today, I do not believe the taxpayer is getting out of bus services what we are putting into them, and therefore reform of public transport next year will be crucially important in getting value for money, in getting services that are more accountable to the needs of taxpayers and passengers, and in making sure that we drive up quality right across the board.
Welsh: Ac, os yw'r ffigurau'n adio'n iawn, rydym yn fwy na pharod i asesu eu buddion. Ond, o ran y cwestiwn ehangach ynghylch faint yr ydym yn ei roi i mewn a faint yr ydym yn ei gymryd allan, mae'r Aelod yn hollol gywir. Ar gyfer y cynllun ar hyn o bryd, mae'n costio £1 miliwn. Mae yna o gwmpas, ar hyn o bryd, 17,500 o ddeiliaid cardiau; bu 1.5 miliwn o deithiau teithwyr. Cymharwch hynny â'r mwy na £0.25 biliwn yr ydym wedi'i roi i mewn i wasanaethau bws at ei gilydd fel Llywodraeth a gyda llywodraeth leol ar gyfer 101 miliwn o deithiau teithwyr y flwyddyn. Rwyf wedi bod yn glir iawn yn y gorffennol, ac rwy'n mynd i'w ddweud eto heddiw, nad wyf yn credu bod y trethdalwr yn cael cymaint allan o'r gwasanaethau bws ag yr ydyn ni'n ei roi i mewn ynddynt, ac felly bydd diwygio trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus y flwyddyn nesaf yn hanfodol bwysig i gael gwerth am arian, i gael gwasanaethau sy'n fwy atebol i anghenion trethdalwyr a theithwyr, ac i sicrhau ein bod yn hybu ansawdd ym mhob maes.
English: Item 4 on our agenda this afternoon is a statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport on the national planned care programme, and I call on the Cabinet Secretary, Vaughan Gething, to make the statement.
Welsh: Eitem 4 ar ein hagenda y prynhawn yma yw datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Lles a Chwaraeon ar y rhaglen genedlaethol ar gyfer gofal wedi'i gynllunio, a galwaf ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, Vaughan Gething, i wneud y datganiad.
English: Item 5 on the agenda is a statement by the Minister for Lifelong Learning and Welsh Language on the rapid review of the Welsh in education strategic plans for 2017 to 2020, and I call on the Minister for Lifelong Learning and Welsh Language, Alun Davies, to make the statement.
Welsh: Eitem 5 ar yr agenda yw datganiad gan Weinidog y Gymraeg a Dysgu Gydol Oes ar yr adolygiad cyflym o'r cynlluniau strategol Cymraeg mewn addysg ar gyfer 2017 i 2020, ac rwy'n galw ar Weinidog y Gymraeg a Dysgu Gydol Oes, Alun Davies, i wneud y datganiad.
English: Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. Welsh in education strategic plans have established a sound basis for planning Welsh-medium education, but so much has changed since the Schools Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 came into statutory force. We now have to adapt and modernise the way in which we plan Welsh education to reflect the ambition set in 'Cymraeg 2050', recognising that education is a key catalyst for change. During the summer, I laid out the Government's plan to reach 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050. This will require ambition, support and leadership from local authorities, governors, headteachers and, of course, parents and students themselves. To reach our target of 40 per cent of learners receiving Welsh-medium education by 2050, all of us have to collaborate. I was disappointed with the level of ambition within the WESPs at the beginning of the year, and that's why Aled Roberts was appointed to undertake a rapid review of the system and to engage with local authorities on their current plans. Deputy Presiding Officer, 'rapid' is a fair description of the whistle-stop tour of Wales undertaken by Aled Roberts. I am very grateful to him and to all 22 local authorities for their co-operation at such short notice, as well as other influential stakeholders for their commitment and input. It's important for us all to note that many people across the country have collaborated very hard together in order to reach the aim where we all want to be.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Lywydd. Mae'r cynlluniau strategol Cymraeg mewn addysg wedi gosod sylfaen gryf ar gyfer cynllunio addysg Gymraeg, ond mae cymaint wedi newid ers i'r Ddeddf Safonau a Threfniadaeth Ysgolion (Cymru) 2013 ddod i rym statudol. Mae'n rhaid inni nawr addasu a moderneiddio'r ffordd yr ydym ni yn cynllunio addysg Gymraeg er mwyn adlewyrchu uchelgais 'Cymraeg 2050', gan gydnabod bod addysg yn gatalydd allweddol ar gyfer newid. Yn yr haf eleni, mi wnes i ddatgan cynllun y Llywodraeth i gyrraedd 1 miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn y flwyddyn 2050. Mi fydd hyn yn gofyn am uchelgais, cefnogaeth ac arweiniad gan awdurdodau lleol, llywodraethwyr, penaethiaid ysgolion ac, wrth gwrs, rhieni a phlant eu hunain. Er mwyn cyrraedd ein targed o 40 y cant o ddysgwyr yn derbyn addysg Gymraeg erbyn 2050, mae'n rhaid i bob un ohonom ni gydweithio gyda'n gilydd. Cefais fy siomi gan y diffyg uchelgais o fewn y cynlluniau strategol Cymraeg mewn addysg ar ddechrau'r flwyddyn, a dyna pam cafodd Aled Roberts ei benodi i gynnal adolygiad brys o'r system, ynghyd â chysylltu â'r awdurdodau lleol i drafod eu cynlluniau cyfredol. Dirprwy Lywydd, mae 'adolygiad brys' yn ddisgrifiad teg o'r wibdaith o amgylch Cymru a gyflawnodd Aled Roberts. Rwy'n hynod ddiolchgar iddo, ac i'r 22 o awdurdodau lleol am eu cydweithrediad ar fyr rybudd, ynghyd â rhanddeiliaid eraill am eu mewnbwn ac ymroddiad. Mae'n bwysig i ni i gyd nodi bod lot fawr o bobl ar draws y wlad wedi cydweithio'n galed iawn gyda'i gilydd er mwyn cyrraedd y nod lle'r ydym ni i gyd eisiau bod.
English: May I welcome the Minister's statement and welcome the fact that he intends to accept all of Aled Roberts's recommendations? You mentioned in your statement how important it is to identify demand, and you have just acknowledged, in your last answer, how important it is to generate demand and to encourage that demand where it currently doesn't exist or it isn't as high as it perhaps could be, and explaining the benefits and winning people over to the case of Welsh-medium education. One of the recommendations of the report is a more strategic relationship between local authorities and the 'mudiadau meithrin', as we've been discussing already, but in order to achieve the aims of the strategy we will surely need to do more than that to enhance demand at a broad enough level. So, you're looking at a situation here where elected members and officers in local authorities are perhaps going to be challenged to meet the current demand. So, what would you like to see happening on the ground beyond the strategic relationship with 'mudiadau meithrin' in order to encourage this demand and to win the argument on the benefits of Welsh-medium education to a larger audience, perhaps, than we're currently reaching?
Welsh: A gaf i groesawu'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog a chroesawu'r ffaith ei fod e'n bwriadu derbyn yr argymhellion i gyd oddi wrth Aled Roberts? Gwnaethoch chi sôn yn y datganiad am ba mor bwysig yw e i adnabod y galw. Rŷch chi newydd gydnabod, yn yr ateb diwethaf, pa mor bwysig yw creu galw, hynny yw ysgogi galw newydd efallai lle nad oes galw ar hyn o bryd, neu ddim cymaint ag y gallai fod, ac esbonio manteision ac ennill pobl i achos addysg Gymraeg. Un o'r argymhellion yn yr adroddiad yw perthynas fwy strategol rhwng awdurdodau lleol a'r mudiadau meithrin, fel rŷm ni wedi bod yn ei drafod yn barod. Er mwyn cyrraedd nod y strategaeth, mae'n sicr y bydd angen gwneud mwy na hynny er mwyn gallu ysgogi galw ar lefel digon eang. Felly, rŷch chi'n edrych ar sefyllfa fel hyn lle mae aelodau etholedig a swyddogion, mewn awdurdodau lleol efallai, yn mynd i gael digon o sialens i ateb y galw sydd yn bresennol. Felly, beth fyddech chi'n hoffi ei weld yn digwydd ar lawr gwlad, tu hwnt i'r berthynas strategol gyda'r mudiadau meithrin, i ysgogi'r galw yma ac ennill y ddadl dros fanteision addysg Gymraeg i gynulleidfa fwy eang, efallai, nag ŷm ni'n ei chyrraedd ar hyn o bryd?
English: Llywydd, I agree with the point that the Member has made, and the Government has historically been quite shy about these issues. I'm less shy. I have seen the advantages of Welsh-medium education in my own family and I see the advantages of having Welsh-medium education for children across the country, which allows them to be part of the wealth of cultural inheritance that we have. I think that that is vital. In the next few months I will be considering how we can stimulate that demand, as you've described, and also ensure that we can persuade people that Welsh-medium education is a real option for their children, wherever they live and whatever the language of the household is, and to allow people to have access to Welsh-medium education. Very often, having access to that Welsh-medium education is one of the main barriers in terms of entering the Welsh-medium system. So, it's making it a real option for people in every part of the country, ensuring that people can have schools close to their homes, ensuring, then, that people can feel at home moving to the Welsh-medium option, if Welsh is not the language of the household, and then supporting families who make that choice, and moving forward in a way that several Members have described this afternoon, through having more opportunities for very, very young children to learn Welsh and get to grips with the language.
Welsh: Llywydd, rydw i'n cytuno â'r pwynt mae'r Aelod wedi'i wneud. Mae'r Llywodraeth wedi bod, yn hanesyddol, yn eithaf swil amboutu'r materion yma. Rydw i'n llai swil. Rydw i wedi gweld manteision addysg Gymraeg yn fy nheulu fy hun, ac rydw i'n gweld manteision cael addysg Gymraeg i blant ar draws y wlad, sy'n eu galluogi nhw i adnabod a bod yn rhan o'r cyfoeth rŷm ni wedi'i etifeddu yn ein diwylliant ni. Rydw i'n credu bod hynny'n rhywbeth sy'n hynod o bwysig. Mi fyddaf i, yn ystod y misoedd nesaf, yn ystyried sut rydym ni'n gallu ysgogi'r galw, fel rŷch chi wedi disgrifio, a hefyd i wneud yn sicr ein bod yn perswadio pobl fod addysg Gymraeg yn opsiwn real ar gyfer eu plant nhw, lle bynnag maen nhw'n byw a beth bynnag ydy iaith y tŷ, ac i alluogi pobl i gael 'access' i addysg Gymraeg. Yn aml iawn, cael 'access' i addysg Gymraeg ydy un o'r prif bethau sy'n rhwystro pobl rhag mynd i mewn i'r system Gymraeg. Felly, gwneud addysg Gymraeg yn opsiwn real i bobl ym mhob un rhan o'r wlad, sicrhau bod pobl yn gallu cael ysgolion yn agos at eu cartrefi nhw, sicrhau, wedyn, bod pobl yn teimlo'n gartrefol wrth symud i'r opsiwn Gymraeg os nad yw'r Gymraeg yn iaith y tŷ, ac wedyn cefnogi teuluoedd sydd yn gwneud y dewis hynny, a symud ymlaen yn y ffordd y mae sawl Aelod wedi'i disgrifio'r prynhawn yma, trwy gael mwy o gyfleoedd i blant ifanc iawn, iawn, iawn ddysgu a dechrau cael gafael ar y Gymraeg - .
English: That brings us to our next item, which is a statement by the Minister for Social Services and Public Health on integration and partnership working in health and social care. I call on the Minister for health to make her statement - Rebecca Evans.
Welsh: Dyma ni'n cyrraedd yr eitem nesaf, felly: y datganiad gan Weinidog Iechyd y Cyhoedd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ar integreiddio a gweithio mewn partneriaeth mewn iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. Rydw i'n galw ar y Gweinidog iechyd i wneud y datganiad - Rebecca Evans.
English: Thank you, Minister. That bring today's proceedings to a close.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog. Daw hynny â thrafodion y dydd i ben.
English: The first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure, and the first question is from Dai Lloyd.
Welsh: A'r eitem gyntaf ar ein hagenda ni y prynhawn yma yw cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith, a'r cwestiwn cyntaf, Dai Lloyd.
English: International connectivity and selling Wales to the world is a key theme addressed in our national strategy 'Prosperity for All'.
Welsh: Mae cysylltedd rhyngwladol a gwerthu Cymru i'r byd yn thema allweddol a drafodir yn ein strategaeth genedlaethol 'Ffyniant i Bawb'.
English: Thank you very much for that comprehensive response. Naturally, Cardiff Airport is exceptionally important in our efforts to link Wales to the rest of the world. Whilst Qatar Airways will be establishing a new direct service to Doha next year, there is an absence of services to other key locations across the world - North America, for example. Would you therefore be willing to consider creating a national airline company, let's call it 'Ken Skates Airlines International', or an alternative model of governmental support to fill the gap that exists because of the unwillingness of the private sector to provide these services to these important locations?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am yr ateb cynhwysfawr yna. Nawr, yn naturiol, mae Maes Awyr Caerdydd, wrth gwrs, yn hynod bwysig yn ein hymdrechion i gysylltu Cymru efo gweddill y byd. Tra bydd Qatar Airways yn dechrau gwasanaethu gwasanaeth uniongyrchol newydd i Doha y flwyddyn nesaf, mae yna brinder gwasanaethau i leoliadau allweddol eraill o bwys ar draws y byd - Gogledd America, er enghraifft. A fyddech chi felly yn fodlon cysidro creu cwmni hedfan cenedlaethol, dyweded 'Ken Skates Airlines rhyngwladol', neu fodel arall o gefnogaeth lywodraethol i lenwi'r bwlch sy'n bodoli oherwydd amharodrwydd y sector breifat i ddarparu'r gwasanaethau i'r lleoliadau pwysig yma?
English: Can I thank Dai Lloyd for his question and his kind suggestion, although I think my surname is probably better attributed to a different form of transport than flight? I'd like to pay tribute actually to the entire team at Cardiff Airport for the excellent work that's being undertaken in promoting that particular facility and in establishing new routes. I think the new route that's going to operate direct to Doha opens up Wales to the world. We've looked in the past, I believe, at the establishment of a national airline and found that the cost of establishing one could be prohibitive. However, it's certainly something that I'm willing to give further consideration to. It's my belief, however, at the same time, that Cardiff Airport is already doing an excellent job in attracting new routes and new operators to the facility, and I hope to have more news on that in the coming years.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i Dai Lloyd am ei gwestiwn a'i awgrym caredig, er y tybiaf fod fy nghyfenw, yn ôl pob tebyg, yn gweddu'n well i fath gwahanol o drafnidiaeth yn hytrach na hedfan? Mewn gwirionedd, hoffwn dalu teyrnged i'r tîm cyfan ym Maes Awyr Caerdydd am eu gwaith rhagorol ar hyrwyddo'r cyfleuster penodol hwnnw ac ar sefydlu llwybrau teithio newydd. Credaf y bydd y llwybr newydd uniongyrchol i Doha yn agor Cymru i'r byd. Credaf ein bod, yn y gorffennol, wedi edrych ar sefydlu cwmni hedfan cenedlaethol ac wedi dod i'r casgliad y gallai cost sefydlu cwmni o'r fath ein hatal rhag gwneud hynny. Fodd bynnag, mae'n sicr yn rhywbeth rwy'n fwy na pharod i'w ystyried ymhellach. Credaf, fodd bynnag, ar yr un pryd, fod Maes Awyr Caerdydd eisoes yn gwneud gwaith ardderchog yn denu llwybrau teithio newydd a gweithredwyr newydd i'r cyfleuster, ac rwy'n gobeithio cael rhagor o newyddion ynglŷn â hynny yn y blynyddoedd i ddod.
English: I look forward to travelling on 'Skates Air'. I think there's probably a niche in the market for you there, Ken. [Laughter.] You've put me off my train of thought now. It's clearly been disappointing, Cabinet Secretary, that air passenger duty hasn't been devolved to this place, and before you say, 'Well, it's your Government', I'm aware of that, and we will continue to press for the case for air passenger duty to be devolved so that we have that important tool in the toolbox. Will you also do the same to make sure that, at the same time as we get stamp duty devolved, and landfill tax and income tax, we also have vital economic tools, such as APD, so that we can really get on with the job of improving the economy in Wales?
Welsh: Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at deithio ar 'Skates Air'. Credaf fod lle bach yn y farchnad i chi yno, Ken. [Chwerthin.] Rydych wedi fy nrysu nawr. Mae'n amlwg yn siomedig, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, nad yw'r doll teithwyr awyr wedi'i datganoli i'r lle hwn, a chyn i chi ddweud, 'Wel, eich Llywodraeth chi yw hi', rwy'n ymwybodol o hynny, a byddwn yn parhau i ddadlau'r achos dros ddatganoli'r doll teithwyr awyr er mwyn sicrhau bod yr offeryn pwysig hwnnw gennym. A wnewch chi wneud yr un peth hefyd i sicrhau, pan fydd y dreth stamp yn cael ei datganoli inni, a threth tirlenwi a threth incwm, fod gennym offer economaidd hanfodol hefyd, megis y doll teithwyr awyr, i ni allu bwrw ati o ddifrif gyda'r gwaith o wella'r economi yng Nghymru?
English: Can I thank Nick Ramsay for his question and say that I agree entirely with him?
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i Nick Ramsay am ei gwestiwn a dweud fy mod yn cytuno'n llwyr ag ef?
English: Our national strategy, 'Prosperity for All', sets out our ambition for an economy that delivers individual and national prosperity, one that reduces inequalities and grows wealth and well-being in the aggregate, where people can fulfil their ambitions and enhance their well-being, and secure sustainable employment.
Welsh: Mae ein strategaeth genedlaethol, 'Ffyniant i Bawb', yn nodi ein huchelgais ar gyfer economi sy'n darparu ffyniant i unigolion a ffyniant cenedlaethol, gan leihau anghydraddoldebau a thyfu cyfoeth a llesiant gyda'i gilydd, lle y gall pobl gyflawni eu huchelgeisiau a gwella'u llesiant, a sicrhau cyflogaeth gynaliadwy.
English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. The issue of modern working practices and wider questions about how we structure our labour market are hugely important. Chwarae Teg have noticed that the Taylor review, and the creation of the Fair Work Commission, help to change the nature of the debate around work and our ever-changing labour market. It's crucial that we don't miss the opportunity to ensure that secure, flexible and well-paid employment is available to all. Does the Cabinet Secretary agree that we need to collate and have access to more data on the gig economy in Wales in order to maximise the benefits and minimise the disadvantages to the people of Wales?
Welsh: Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Mae mater arferion gweithio modern a chwestiynau mwy cyffredinol ynglŷn â sut yr ydym yn strwythuro ein marchnad lafur yn hynod bwysig. Mae Chwarae Teg wedi nodi bod adolygiad Taylor, a chreu'r Comisiwn Gwaith Teg, yn helpu i newid natur y ddadl ynglŷn â gwaith a'n marchnad lafur sy'n newid yn gyson. Mae'n hanfodol nad ydym yn colli'r cyfle i sicrhau bod cyflogaeth ddiogel, hyblyg a chyflogau da ar gael i bawb. A yw Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn cytuno bod angen inni gasglu a chael mynediad at fwy o ddata ar yr economi gig yng Nghymru er mwyn sicrhau cymaint o fanteision â chyn lleied o anfanteision â phosibl i bobl Cymru?
English: Can I thank the Member for her question and say that I do welcome the work of the Taylor review, although, of course, the recommendations appear to stop short of the strengthened enforcement of legislation needed to prevent exploitation of low-paid workers. With regard to what could be beneficial, and the enhancement of data on the gig economy, to help us understand the nature and impact of this on the Welsh economy, I think that it's important that we go on working with the Office for National Statistics, and other parts of the UK, to consider how best the data can be captured. I can inform the Member that officials are part of a group that was set up to look at scoping out analytical needs and methods of measuring the gig economy, which is an issue right across the UK, but which has particular significance for us here in Wales. And, clearly, given the nature of the gig economy, the insight and new sources of data available through the data science campus could well play a very important role.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei chwestiwn a dweud fy mod yn croesawu gwaith adolygiad Taylor, er nad ymddengys, wrth gwrs, fod yr argymhellion yn mynd yn ddigon pell o ran cryfhau'r broses o orfodi'r ddeddfwriaeth, sy'n angenrheidiol er mwyn atal gweithwyr ar gyflogau isel rhag cael eu hecsbloetio? O ran yr hyn a allai fod o fudd, a gwella data ar yr economi gig, er mwyn ein cynorthwyo i ddeall natur ac effaith hyn ar economi Cymru, credaf ei bod yn bwysig inni barhau i weithio gyda'r Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol, a rhannau eraill o'r DU, i nodi'r ffyrdd gorau o gasglu'r data. Gallaf ddweud wrth yr Aelod fod swyddogion yn rhan o grŵp a sefydlwyd i edrych ar gwmpasu anghenion dadansoddol a dulliau o fesur yr economi gig, sy'n broblem ledled y DU, ond sydd ag arwyddocâd arbennig i ni yma yng Nghymru. Ac yn amlwg, o ystyried natur yr economi gig, gallai'r mewnwelediad a'r ffynonellau data newydd a fyddai ar gael drwy'r campws gwyddor data chwarae rôl bwysig iawn.
English: Cabinet Secretary, the growth of the gig economy and the rise in non-standard working practices has created problems for significant numbers of workers and has tested the limits of existing labour market protections. It is also a problem for employers, who struggle with this regulatory and tax system, designed for formal and reliable employment. The UK Government set up the Taylor review, headed by Matthew Taylor, a former senior advisor to Tony Blair, to look into the employment practices in the modern economy, and its recommendations are subject to consultation. What study has the Cabinet Secretary made of the Taylor review, and will he take it into account when forming employment rights and responsibility in Wales? Thank you.
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae twf yr economi gig a'r cynnydd mewn arferion gweithio ansafonol wedi creu problemau i nifer sylweddol o weithwyr, ac wedi ymestyn amddiffyniadau presennol y farchnad lafur i'r eithaf. Mae hefyd yn broblem i gyflogwyr, sy'n cael trafferth gyda'r system reoleiddio a threthu hon, a gynlluniwyd ar gyfer cyflogaeth ffurfiol a dibynadwy. Sefydlwyd adolygiad Taylor, o dan arweiniad Matthew Taylor, cyn uwch-gynghorydd i Tony Blair, gan Lywodraeth y DU er mwyn edrych ar arferion cyflogaeth yn yr economi fodern, ac mae ei argymhellion yn destun ymgynghoriad. Pa astudiaeth y mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi'i wneud o adolygiad Taylor, ac a wnaiff ei ystyried wrth lunio hawliau a chyfrifoldebau cyflogaeth yng Nghymru? Diolch.
