English: Thank you, Andrew, and thank you Minister. As I said at the beginning of the session, we did leave the issue of children and young people in the context of their mental health out of this session today because we were eager not to duplicate the work that the excellent young people committee will be doing tomorrow, and the Chair of that committee is looking at me now, so I wasn't going to step on any toes there. It was important to note that for the record. But can I thank the Minister for her attendance, and also her officials? May I also confirm that you'll receive a transcript of today's discussions to check for factual accuracy? With those few words, thank you very much to all of you and that brings us to the end of the session. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Andrew, a diolch i'r Gweinidog. Yn amlwg, fel y dywedais i ar y dechrau, gwnaethom ni adael y maes plant a phobl ifanc yng nghyd-destun eu hiechyd meddwl allan ohoni, achos rydyn ni'n awyddus i beidio dyblygu'r gwaith y bydd y pwyllgor bendigedig pobl ifanc yn cymryd allan yfory, ac mae Cadeirydd y pwyllgor yna yn edrych arnaf i yn fanna, felly doeddem ni ddim yn mynd i dramgwyddo ar unrhyw faes arall. Mae'n bwysig i nodi hynna gogyfer y cofnod. Ond gaf i ddiolch yn fawr iawn i'r Gweinidog am ei phresenoldeb, a hefyd ei swyddogion? Gaf i yn bellach gadarnhau y byddwch chi'n derbyn trawsgrifiad o'r trafodaethau yma er mwyn i chi wirio eu bod nhw'n ffeithiol gywir? Ond gyda chymaint â hynna o ragymadrodd, diolch yn fawr ichi i gyd, a dyna ddiwedd y sesiwn yna. Diolch yn fawr.
English: And to my fellow Members, we move on to item 3, and a motion under Standing Order 17.42 (ix) to resolve to exclude the public from the meeting for item 4 of today's meeting. Is everyone content? I see that everyone is indeed content, so we'll go into private session to discuss the evidence that we've just heard, before we return in public session in half an hour with the next set of witnesses. So, that brings us to the end of the public meeting for the time being. Thank you.
Welsh: Ac i'm cyd-Aelodau, rydyn ni'n symud ymlaen at eitem 3, a chynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 (ix) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o'r cyfarfod ar gyfer eitem 4 o'r cyfarfod yma y bore yma. Ydy pawb yn gytûn? Dwi'n gweld bod pawb yn gytûn i fynd i mewn i sesiwn breifat i drafod y dystiolaeth yna, cyn dod nôl yn gyhoeddus mewn hanner awr efo'r tystion eraill. Felly, dyna ddiwedd y cyfarfod cyhoeddus am y tro. Diolch yn fawr.
English: Welcome back, everyone, to this meeting of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee here in a virtual capacity at the Senedd, with Members and witnesses participating through the medium of video-conferencing. We've reached item 5 on our agenda this morning, and the continuation of our scrutiny of the Welsh Government's draft budget for 2021-22. This is an evidence session with the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism. And to that end, I'm very pleased to welcome to our screens Dafydd Elis-Thomas MS, the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism - good morning, Deputy Minister.
Welsh: Felly, croeso nôl i bawb i'r Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon yma yn rhithiol yn y Senedd gydag Aelodau a thystion yn cyfarfod trwy gyfrwng fideo-gynadledda. Dŷn ni wedi cyrraedd eitem 5 ar ein hagenda, rŵan, a pharhad efo'r craffu i mewn i gyllideb ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22, a dyma sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth. Ac felly, i'r perwyl hyn, dwi'n falch iawn i groesawu i'n sgriniau Dafydd Elis-Thomas AS, y Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth - bore da, Ddirprwy Weinidog.
English: And joining him are Jason Thomas, director of culture, sport and tourism at the Welsh Government and Steffan Roberts, deputy director of culture and sport at the Welsh Government. A warm welcome to the three of you, and as is customary, we'll go straight to questions on this draft budget with regard to sport and so on in your portfolio, Dafydd Elis-Thomas, and to start the questions we have David Rees. David.
Welsh: A hefyd, Jason Thomas, cyfarwyddwr diwylliant, chwaraeon a thwristiaeth, Llywodraeth Cymru a Steffan Roberts, dirprwy gyfarwyddwr diwylliant a chwaraeon, Llywodraeth Cymru. Croeso i'r tri ohonoch. Yn ôl ein harfer, awn ni'n syth i mewn i gwestiynu, a dweud y gwir, ar y gyllideb ddrafft yn nhermau chwaraeon ac ati a'ch meysydd portffolio, Dafydd Elis-Thomas, ac i ddechrau'r cwestiynu mae David Rees. David.
English: Thank you very much. Time to move on now to someone with a great deal of experience in football in the past, and rugby too - Rhun.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Amser symud ymlaen i rywun arall sydd efo profiad disglair yn y byd pêl-droed yn y gorffennol, a hefyd rygbi - Rhun.
English: Well, it wasn't a very prominent past, I have to say, Chair, but I did try, and I still do sometimes. If we can turn to a few specific funds and programmes quickly, Deputy Minister, and how the draft budget provides for the delivery of those. For example, there are a number of them - we could refer to the physical activity partnership and the community sport activity programme. Could you give us a picture of how the draft budget provides for those?
Welsh: Ddim yn ddisglair iawn, mae gen i ofn, Gadeirydd, ond gwnes i drio ac yn dal i wneud weithiau. Reit, os caf i edrych ar ambell i gronfa a rhaglen benodol yn sydyn, Weinidog, a sut mae'r gyllideb ddrafft yn darparu ar gyfer y rheini. Er enghraifft, mae yna nifer ohonyn nhw - gallwn i gyfeirio at y bartneriaeth gweithgareddau corfforol, y rhaglen gweithgareddau chwaraeon cymunedol. Rhowch ddarlun inni o sut mae'r gyllideb ddrafft yn darparu ar gyfer y rheini.
English: Well, as I've emphasised, we have tried to ensure revenue funding for sport of £22.147 million for 2021-22. That demonstrates what our commitment is to physical activity and, of course, the preventative function of that in terms of public health. We are also ensuring that we are trying to modernise our resources across communities, and, again, that demonstrates the importance of the budget of £6.629 million that we have provided for Sport Wales for the financial year 2021-22. The Place for Sport fund, for clubs and organisations to improve their facilities - there is £5 million available in 2021-22, above and beyond the £8 million we've invested in facilities in 2019-20, and there is £5 million there, of course. The draft budget also has a contribution of £375,000 towards the healthy and active fund, the costs of that, again for the 2021-22 budget. Sport Wales continues to contribute towards the programme that is of great interest to me, which is activity for those over 60 years of age, and that will be a vital part of the budget as well. Those are the kinds of aspects that we're investing in, and that continues the emphasis that was made from the very beginning, when we succeeded in having £5 million out of the health budget to allocate for preventative activities with regard to public health.
Welsh: Wel, fel dwi wedi pwysleisio, rydym ni wedi ceisio sicrhau cyllid refeniw ar gyfer chwaraeon o £22.147 miliwn ar gyfer 2021-22. Mae hwnna yn dangos beth ydy ein hymroddiad ni ar gyfer gweithgaredd corfforol ac wrth gwrs ataliol yn nhermau iechyd cyhoeddus. Rydym ni hefyd yn sicrhau ein bod ni'n ceisio moderneiddio ein hadnoddau ar draws y cymunedau, a dyma, eto, bwysigrwydd y gyllideb o £6.629 miliwn rydym ni wedi ei sicrhau ar gyfer Chwaraeon Cymru am y flwyddyn ariannol 2021-22. Mae'r gronfa Lle i Chwaraeon, sydd ar gyfer clybiau a sefydliadau i wella eu cyfleusterau - mae yna £5 miliwn ar gael ar gyfer 2021-22 ar ben yr £8 miliwn rydym ni wedi eu buddsoddi yn barod mewn cyfleusterau yn 2019-20, ac mae yna £5 miliwn yn fanna. Mae'r gyllideb ddrafft hefyd gyda chyfraniad o £375,000 tuag at y gronfa iach ac egnïol, a chostau hwnnw ar gyfer, eto, gyllideb 2021-22. Mae Chwaraeon Cymru yn parhau i gyfrannu tuag at y cynllun sydd o ddiddordeb mawr i fi wrth gwrs, sef gweithgaredd i'r rhai sydd dros 60, ac mae hwnna'n rhan allweddol o'r gyllideb. Dyna'r math o agweddau rydym ni'n buddsoddi ynddyn nhw, ac mae hyn yn parhau'r pwyslais a wnaed yn y dechrau'n deg, pan lwyddon ni i gael £5 miliwn allan o gyllideb iechyd i'w ddosbarthu ar gyfer gweithgaredd ataliol ym maes hybu iechyd cyhoeddus.
English: And, of course, I welcome that - I think there should be a great deal more of that happening, as someone who sets promoting physical activity as a priority. We need more of that, and I think that collaboration between health and sports budgets has to happen and has to happen a great deal more. The kinds of investments and budgets for the programmes that you've mentioned there are things that I would have hoped would have happened anyway. But there is a different context, of course, as a result of the pandemic, and there will be a need for additional funding, I would imagine, to enable them to restart, to ramp them up again. To what extent are the allocations reflecting the pandemic and the need to respond to it and the impact it's had?
Welsh: A dwi'n croesawu hynny - dwi'n meddwl dylai fod yna lawer mwy o hynny yn digwydd, fel un sy'n gosod hybu gweithgaredd corfforol fel gwir flaenoriaeth. Mae angen mwy o hynny, a dwi'n meddwl bod y cydweithio yna rhwng cyllidebau iechyd a chwaraeon yn gorfod digwydd yn llawer, llawer mwy. Mae'r math o fuddsoddiadau a chyllidebau ar gyfer y rhaglenni rydych chi wedi eu crybwyll yn fanna yn bethau y buaswn i'n gobeithio y byddai wedi digwydd beth bynnag. Ond mae yna gyd-destun gwahanol, wrth gwrs, yn sgil y pandemig, ac mi fydd angen peth arian ychwanegol, byddwn i'n tybio, ar y rhaglenni er mwyn eu hailgychwyn nhw, eu hailrampio nhw i fyny, os liciwch chi. I ba raddau mae'r dyraniadau yn adlewyrchu'r pandemig a'r angen i ymateb i'r pandemig hwnnw a'r effaith mae o wedi ei gael arnyn nhw?
English: Well, I have made it clear in an earlier response that we aren't sure at all of what the range of requirements will be, because the situation with regard to those funding requirements and the potential additional investment, or the size of that additional investment, is entirely reliant on the state of public health and the assessment of that and the way that we can then adapt the budget to that eventual situation. What would be very useful for us is if the committee could consider that in any reports that you will be compiling, that the Government in its discussions with the Westminster Government - and I'm part of those discussions in the different areas where I have responsibility - that we put an emphasis on the need to invest in addition.
Welsh: Wel, dwi wedi ei gwneud hi'n glir mewn ateb cynharach nad ydym ni'n sicr o gwbl o beth fydd ystod y gofynion, oherwydd y mae sefyllfa'r gofynion yn gyllidol a'r buddsoddi ychwanegol, o bosib, neu faint y buddsoddi ychwanegol, yn gyfan gwbl ddibynnol ar gyflwr iechyd cyhoeddus a'r asesiadau a wneir a'r modd y gallwn ni wedyn addasu'r gyllideb i'r sefyllfa yna. Beth fyddai yn ddefnyddiol iawn i ni ydy os yw'r pwyllgor yn gallu ystyried hynny mewn unrhyw adroddiadau y byddwch chi'n eu paratoi, y dylai fod y Llywodraeth yn eu trafodaethau gyda Llywodraeth San Steffan - ac dwi'n rhan o'r trafodaethau yna yn y gwahanol feysydd lle mae gen i gyfrifoldeb - ein bod ni'n rhoi pwyslais ar yr angen i fuddsoddi yn ychwanegol.
English: Thank you very much for that. Finally, if I can look at one specific scheme that is important and has been important to many people over the years, there is a revised free swimming initiative now. Could you just give us an idea of the plans for that revised free swimming initiative and what funding is available for it in the draft budget specifically?
Welsh: Diolch am hynny. Os caf i, yn olaf, edrych ar un cynllun penodol sy'n bwysig ac wedi bod yn bwysig i lawer o bobl dros y blynyddoedd, mae yna fenter nofio ddiwygiedig erbyn hyn. Os gallwch chi jest edrych am funud inni ar gynlluniau ar gyfer y fenter nofio am ddim sydd wedi newid, pa gyllid sydd ar gael yn y gyllideb ddrafft ar gyfer y fenter honno'n benodol?
English: Well, the situation with regard to free swimming is one that has caused concern to me, and I do very much hope that we will be able to give that priority when it's possible to do so. One of the problems, of course, is that the facilities, particularly with regard to sports facilities in sports centres, where this specific activity takes place, aren't open at the moment. And the new intentions with regard to free swimming have been impacted seriously by the current crisis, of course, because, as I said, the facilities aren't available at the moment. We do have £1.6 million within the Sport Wales budget for the 2021-22 budget to support the free swimming initiative, but that, as I said, is dependent on the situation with regard to public health.
Welsh: Wel, mae'r sefyllfa ynglŷn â nofio am ddim yn un sydd wedi bod yn achosi gofid i mi, a dwi'n gobeithio y byddwn ni yn blaenoriaethu'r cynllun yma pan fydd hynny'n bosib. Hynny yw, un o'r problemau sydd gennym ni, wrth gwrs, ydy nad ydy'r cyfleusterau, yn enwedig cyfleusterau chwaraeon mewn canolfannau chwaraeon lle mae'r gweithgaredd yma'n digwydd, ddim yn agored ar hyn o bryd. Ac mae'r bwriadau newydd gyda nofio am ddim wedi cael eu heffeithio'n ddifrifol gan yr argyfwng presennol oherwydd, fel y dywedais i, fod y cyfleusterau ddim ar gael. Mae gennym ni £1.6 miliwn o fewn cyllideb Chwaraeon Cymru ar gyfer cyllideb 2021-22 i gefnogi cynllun nofio am ddim, ond mae hynny, fel y dywedais i, yn ddibynnol ar y sefyllfa iechyd cyhoeddus.
English: Fine, thank you, Minister. Thank you, Chair.
Welsh: Iawn, diolch, Weinidog. Diolch, Gadeirydd.
English: Thank you. We are almost out of time. A supplementary question from David Rees and then the final question from Andrew R.T. Davies. David.
Welsh: Diolch. Rydyn ni jest allan o amser. Cwestiwn atodol gan David Rees ac wedyn y cwestiwn olaf gan Andrew R.T. Davies. David.
English: Thank you very much, Andrew. We have run out of time. Thank you very much to you, Deputy Minister, and to your officials for your attendance this morning and for the evidence you've given. Thank you very much to the three of you. You will receive a transcript of this morning's discussion for you to check for factual accuracy. With those few words, thank you very much, and that brings us to the end of that item. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Andrew. Rydyn ni allan o amser. Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi, Ddirprwy Weinidog, a hefyd y swyddogion am eich presenoldeb ac am y dystiolaeth gerbron. Diolch yn fawr iawn i'r tri ohonoch chi. Mi fyddwch chi'n derbyn trawsgrifiad o'r trafodaethau yma er mwyn ichi allu gwirio eu bod nhw'n ffeithiol gywir. Gyda chymaint â hynna o ragymadrodd, diolch yn fawr a dyna ddiwedd yr eitem yna. Diolch yn fawr.
English: To my fellow Members, we move on to item 6 and another motion under Standing Order 17.42 (ix) to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of this meeting. Is everyone agreed? I see that everyone is indeed agreed, and so that brings us to the end of the public meeting. Thank you.
Welsh: I fy nghyd-Aelodau, rydyn ni'n symud ymlaen i eitem 6 a chynnig arall o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 (ix) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod yma. Ydy pawb yn gytûn? Dwi'n gweld bod pawb yn gytûn, felly dyna ddiwedd y cyfarfod cyhoeddus. Diolch yn fawr.
English: Welcome, all, to this Plenary session. Before we begin, I want to set out a few points. A Plenary meeting held by video-conference, in accordance with the Standing Orders of the Welsh Parliament, constitutes Senedd proceedings for the purposes of the Government of Wales Act 2006. Some of the provisions of Standing Order 34 will apply for today's Plenary meeting, and those are set out on your agenda. And I would remind Members that Standing Orders relating to order in Plenary meetings apply to this meeting. I also wish to inform the Senedd that, in accordance with Standing Order 26.75, the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 was given Royal Assent today.
Welsh: Croeso, bawb, i'r Cyfarfod Llawn. Cyn i ni ddechrau, dwi eisiau nodi ychydig o bwyntiau. Mae Cyfarfod Llawn a gynhelir drwy gynhadledd fideo, yn unol â Rheolau Sefydlog Senedd Cymru, yn gyfystyr â thrafodion y Senedd at ddibenion Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006. Bydd rhai o ddarpariaethau Rheol Sefydlog 34 yn gymwys ar gyfer y Cyfarfod Llawn heddiw, ac mae'r rheini wedi'u nodi ar eich agenda chi. A dwi eisiau atgoffa'r Aelodau bod y Rheolau Sefydlog sy'n ymwneud â threfn yn y Cyfarfod Llawn yn berthnasol i'r cyfarfod yma. Dwi hefyd eisiau hysbysu'r Senedd, yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 26.75, fod Deddf Llywodraeth Leol ac Etholiadau (Cymru) 2021 wedi cael Cydsyniad Brenhinol heddiw.
English: The first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services, and the first question is from Jayne Bryant.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf, felly, ar ein hagenda ni ar gyfer y prynhawn yma yw'r cwestiynau i'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Jayne Bryant.
English: Thank you. On 11 January, I published our national vaccination plan, with key milestones and priorities for delivery. The plan reflects months of detailed NHS planning, together with support from colleagues in the military and local government. Within Gwent, 72 out of 74 GP practices are supporting the delivery of the vaccination programme, and five mass vaccination centres are also operational.
Welsh: Diolch. Ar 11 Ionawr, cyhoeddais ein cynllun brechu cenedlaethol, gyda cherrig milltir a blaenoriaethau allweddol ar gyfer ei gyflawni. Mae'r cynllun yn adlewyrchu misoedd o waith cynllunio manwl gan y GIG, ynghyd â chefnogaeth gan gymheiriaid yn y lluoedd arfog a llywodraeth leol. Yng Ngwent, mae 72 o'r 74 practis meddyg teulu yn cefnogi'r gwaith o gyflawni'r rhaglen frechu, ac mae pum canolfan frechu torfol hefyd yn weithredol.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister. It's really encouraging to hear that the roll-out rate is increasing at pace in the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board area. I know from anecdotal evidence and constituents getting in touch with me that this is indeed the case in Newport. What has been concerning my constituents is the communications and the suggestion that the Welsh Government's not going as quickly as possible. Many of those who are elderly and vulnerable in these first priority groups have been shielding for 10 months, and some have been outside only a handful of times. They and their families are desperate to know that they have not been forgotten and want to hear that the Government will leave no stone unturned to get this vaccine to them. Minister, please can you assure me and my constituents about the speed of the roll-out of the vaccine in Wales, and specifically in Newport, that the focus and priority is on delivering this vaccine as quickly and as safely as possible, and that those over 80 who haven't heard just yet will do so very, very soon?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Mae'n galonogol iawn clywed bod y gyfradd frechu'n cynyddu'n gyflym yn ardal Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan. Gwn o dystiolaeth anecdotaidd a thrwy etholwyr sydd wedi cysylltu â mi fod hyn hefyd yn wir yng Nghasnewydd. Yr hyn sydd wedi bod yn peri pryder i fy etholwyr yw'r cyfathrebu a'r awgrym nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio mor gyflym â phosibl. Mae llawer o'r rheini sy'n oedrannus ac yn agored i niwed yn y grwpiau blaenoriaeth cyntaf hyn wedi bod ar y rhestr warchod ers 10 mis, ac mae rhai ohonynt ond wedi bod allan o'r tŷ lond llaw o weithiau. Maent hwy a'u teuluoedd yn ysu i wybod nad ydynt wedi cael eu hanghofio ac eisiau clywed y bydd y Llywodraeth yn gwneud ei gorau glas i sicrhau eu bod yn cael y brechlyn hwn. Weinidog, a allwch sicrhau fy etholwyr a minnau ynghylch cyflymder y broses o gyflwyno'r brechlyn yng Nghymru, ac yn benodol yng Nghasnewydd, fod y flaenoriaeth a'r ffocws ar ddarparu'r brechlyn cyn gynted ac mor ddiogel â phosibl, ac y bydd y bobl dros 80 oed nad ydynt wedi clywed unrhyw beth eto yn cael clywed cyn bo hir?
English: I can assure you we are going as fast as possible. In particular, over this week, we've released 60,000 Pfizer vaccines into the system to help in mass vaccination centres. We also have a significant increase in our supply from the UK procurement programme of the AstraZeneca vaccine, so we'll be able to go much faster - again, both the care home residents and the over-80s. That's why those 72 general practices across the Gwent area are so important to us in reaching those first two category groups. So, I expect that, every week, we'll be publishing now - as I've committed to - more information, showing where we are with those priority groups and the successful roll-out. And I've also indicated that I think that health boards across Wales will be starting to issue invites to the over-70s over the next week, because I am confident that we will have vaccinated a high number of over-80s by the end of this week as well. So, Powys are already doing so, and I don't think Aneurin Bevan will be far behind. Again, I just want to say 'thank you' to all those staff who really are working above and beyond to help protect people right across the country. Aneurin Bevan, I think, are doing a fine job within that, as indeed are other health boards.
Welsh: Gallaf roi sicrwydd i chi ein bod yn mynd mor gyflym â phosibl. Yn fwyaf arbennig, yr wythnos hon, rydym wedi rhyddhau 60,000 o frechlynnau Pfizer i'r system i helpu mewn canolfannau brechu torfol. Rydym hefyd wedi cael cynnydd sylweddol yn ein cyflenwad o frechlyn AstraZeneca gan raglen gaffael y DU, felly bydd modd inni fynd ati'n llawer cyflymach - unwaith eto, preswylwyr cartrefi gofal a phobl dros 80 oed. Dyna pam fod y 72 practis meddyg teulu hynny ar draws ardal Gwent mor bwysig i ni er mwyn cyrraedd y ddau grŵp categori cyntaf hynny. Felly, rwy'n disgwyl nawr y byddwn yn cyhoeddi, bob wythnos - fel rwyf wedi ymrwymo i'w wneud - mwy o wybodaeth i ddangos ble rydym arni gyda'r grwpiau blaenoriaeth a'r gwaith o ddarparu'r brechlyn yn llwyddiannus. Ac rwyf hefyd wedi nodi fy mod yn credu y bydd byrddau iechyd ledled Cymru yn dechrau anfon gwahoddiadau at bobl dros 70 oed dros yr wythnos nesaf, gan fy mod yn hyderus y byddwn wedi brechu nifer uchel o bobl dros 80 oed erbyn diwedd yr wythnos hon hefyd. Felly, mae Powys eisoes yn gwneud hynny, ac ni chredaf y bydd Aneurin Bevan ymhell ar eu holau. Unwaith eto, hoffwn ddweud 'diolch' wrth yr holl staff sy'n gweithio hyd eithaf eu gallu i helpu i ddiogelu pobl ledled y wlad. Ac rwy'n credu bod Aneurin Bevan yn gwneud gwaith gwych yn hynny o beth, fel y byrddau iechyd eraill, yn wir.
