English: Organiser, could I seek your assistance in seeking to address the quality of the answers the Welsh Government are giving to Members? I had some responses back last week that informed me that Ministers were going to write to me with their answers after sitting on them for about 10 days to a fortnight. They were pretty straightforward questions. One was asking where the data in the First Minister's briefing that compared Torfaen to Oldham came from. Now, I would have thought that, given that he talked about that in his press briefing, that information would be readily available, because obviously it could be cross-referenced. I fail to see why you'd sit on an answer for 10 days and then say that you're going to write to the Member. And the second was from the health Minister's briefing on 26 October - the press briefing, because that seems to be where most Members get their information from these days - about critical care beds. He referred to the extra critical care beds that would be made available to the Welsh NHS, and I posed a simple question: could he identify where these critical care beds would be allocated and which health boards would benefit from the extra capacity? Again, I received another answer saying that they would write to me with the answer when they felt able to. Well, as both instances indicated information was used in a public press briefing, albeit for the press rather than for Members in this Parliament, I would have thought it would be relatively easy for the Welsh Government to provide those answers. It shows complete disdain for Members in this institution that these answers aren't being provided in a timely manner. Where the substantive answer could be enlarged, I fully accept a greater period of time might be required, but I've given you two instances there of relatively simple questions that could be answered readily, because the information has already been used in public press briefings. So, in your role as the organiser of Government business, could I seek your assistance in trying to clarify exactly how Welsh Government are going to up their game in addressing responses to Welsh parliamentary Members in this institution?
Welsh: Trefnydd, a gaf i ofyn am eich cymorth wrth geisio mynd i'r afael ag ansawdd yr atebion y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu rhoi i Aelodau? Cefais rai ymatebion yn ôl yr wythnos diwethaf a chefais wybod bod Gweinidogion yn mynd i ysgrifennu ataf gyda'u hatebion nhw ar ôl eistedd arnyn nhw am tua 10 diwrnod i bythefnos. Roeddent yn gwestiynau eithaf syml. Roedd un yn gofyn o ble y daeth y data ym mriff y Prif Weinidog a oedd yn cymharu Torfaen ag Oldham. Nawr, byddwn i wedi tybio, o gofio iddo sôn am hynny yn ei friff i'r wasg, y byddai'r wybodaeth honno ar gael yn rhwydd, oherwydd mae'n amlwg bod modd ei chroesgyfeirio. Ni allaf weld pam y byddech chi'n eistedd ar ateb am 10 diwrnod ac yna'n dweud eich bod yn mynd i ysgrifennu at yr Aelod. Ac roedd yr ail gwestiwn yn deillio o sesiwn friffio'r Gweinidog Iechyd ar 26 Hydref - y briff i'r wasg, oherwydd mae'n ymddangos mai dyna lle mae'r rhan fwyaf o'r Aelodau yn cael eu gwybodaeth y dyddiau hyn - o ran gwelyau gofal critigol. Fe gyfeiriodd at y gwelyau gofal critigol ychwanegol a fyddai ar gael i GIG Cymru, a gofynnais i gwestiwn syml: a allai nodi ym mhle y byddai'r gwelyau gofal critigol hyn yn cael eu dyrannu a pha fyrddau iechyd fyddai'n elwa o'r gallu ychwanegol? Unwaith eto, cefais i ateb arall yn dweud y byddent yn ysgrifennu ataf gyda'r ateb pan oeddent yn teimlo y gallent wneud hynny. Wel, oherwydd bod y ddau achos yn awgrymu bod gwybodaeth wedi'i defnyddio mewn sesiwn friffio i'r wasg gyhoeddus, er i'r wasg yn hytrach nag i Aelodau'r Senedd hon, byddwn i wedi tybio y byddai'n gymharol hawdd i Lywodraeth Cymru ddarparu'r atebion hynny. Mae'n dangos dirmyg llwyr i Aelodau'r sefydliad hwn nad yw'r atebion hyn yn cael eu darparu mewn modd amserol. Rwy'n derbyn yn llawn y gallai fod angen mwy o amser pe bai modd ei ehangu i fod yn ateb o sylwedd, ond rwyf wedi rhoi dau achos ichi yna o gwestiynau cymharol syml y byddai wedi bod yn bosibl eu hateb yn rhwydd, oherwydd mae'r wybodaeth eisoes wedi'i defnyddio mewn sesiynau briffio i'r wasg gyhoeddus. Felly, yn eich swydd fel trefnydd busnes y Llywodraeth, a gaf i ofyn am eich cymorth wrth geisio egluro sut yn union y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd i wella eu ffordd o fynd i'r afael ag ymatebion i Aelodau seneddol Cymru yn y sefydliad hwn?
