English: No, I wouldn't accept that, and, of course, my friend, the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs has just answered questions on these matters, and so I don't wish to pursue any further debate or discussion on the particular issue of planning. What I will say in trying to answer the question in a positive sense is to refer you to the points I've made about the citizens owning the governance of this country and not politicians owning the governance of this country. And what is important to me is that we're able to look for different and new means and methods of holding us as politicians to account, as Ministers to account, as Assembly Members to account and local authority councillors to account. But also, how do you empower different levels of local government? I had a very good meeting with a panel of town and community councils this morning, debating and discussing some of their proposals, which, I hope, will be published in the coming months. But, for me, this is a positive and enriching debate about empowerment; it's not simply a debate about lines on maps, processes of mergers and how to either propose or avoid those matters. For me, the really important issue about the debate on local government reform is the ambition, the end point, the vision and not simply the process.
Welsh: Na, ni fuaswn yn derbyn hynny, ac wrth gwrs, mae fy ffrind, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Ynni, Cynllunio a Materion Gwledig newydd ateb cwestiynau ar y materion hyn, ac felly nid wyf am fynd ar drywydd unrhyw ddadl neu drafodaeth bellach ar gynllunio yn benodol. Yr hyn a ddywedaf wrth geisio ateb y cwestiwn mewn ffordd gadarnhaol yw eich cyfeirio at y pwyntiau a wneuthum ynglŷn â'r ffaith mai dinasyddion sy'n berchen ar lywodraethiant y wlad hon ac nid gwleidyddion. A'r hyn sy'n bwysig i mi yw ein bod yn gallu edrych am ffyrdd a dulliau newydd a gwahanol o'n dwyn ni fel gwleidyddion, fel Gweinidogion, fel Aelodau Cynulliad a chynghorwyr awdurdodau lleol i gyfrif. Ond hefyd, sut y mae grymuso gwahanol lefelau o lywodraeth leol? Cefais gyfarfod da iawn gyda phanel o gynghorau tref a chymuned y bore yma, yn dadlau a thrafod rhai o'u cynigion, a fydd, gobeithio, yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn ystod y misoedd nesaf. Ond i mi, mae hyn yn gadarnhaol ac yn cyfoethogi dadl ynglŷn â grymuso; nid dadl syml ydyw am linellau ar fapiau, prosesau uno a sut i naill ai gynnig neu osgoi'r materion hynny. I mi, y mater gwirioneddol bwysig am y ddadl ar ddiwygio llywodraeth leol yw'r uchelgais, y pen draw, y weledigaeth ac nid y broses yn unig.
English: We work closely with the chief constables and police and crime commissioners on matters of mutual interest aimed at making communities safer.
Welsh: Rydym yn gweithio'n agos gyda'r prif gwnstabliaid a'r comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu ar faterion o ddiddordeb cyffredin gyda'r nod o wneud cymunedau'n fwy diogel.
English: Thank you for that brief answer. The Help Point in Swansea has been a positive addition to Swansea's night-time economy. It's a project, actually, supported by South Wales Police, and by Swansea council and St John Cymru as well, and their work has helped retain the city's purple flag status. But there are still a number of challenges as violent crime, as recorded, has gone up on Wind Street, where this Help Point is situated near, and, in this particular case, the Swansea business improvement district has contributed, as businesses, towards Help Point in order to help tackle that growth in crime. But what other avenues might be available to encourage partners in sharing those responsibilities for keeping town centres safer, if you like, bearing in mind that other towns are looking to develop their night-time economies?
Welsh: Diolch ichi am yr ateb cryno hwnnw. Mae Pwynt Help Abertawe wedi bod yn ychwanegiad cadarnhaol at economi nos Abertawe. Prosiect a gefnogir gan Heddlu De Cymru ydyw mewn gwirionedd, a chan gyngor Abertawe a St John Cymru yn ogystal, ac mae eu gwaith wedi helpu i gadw statws baner borffor y ddinas. Ond mae yna heriau'n parhau, gan fod troseddau treisgar, fel y'u cofnodwyd, wedi cynyddu ar Stryd y Gwynt, gerllaw lleoliad y Pwynt Help, ac yn yr achos penodol hwn, mae ardal gwella busnes Abertawe wedi cyfrannu, fel busnesau, tuag at y Pwynt Help er mwyn helpu i fynd i'r afael â'r cynnydd mewn troseddu. Ond pa lwybrau eraill a allai fod ar gael i annog partneriaid i rannu'r cyfrifoldebau hyn dros gadw canol trefi'n fwy diogel, os mynnwch, o gofio bod trefi eraill yn ceisio datblygu eu heconomïau nos?
English: Presiding Officer, I've met with the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales twice in the last week to discuss and debate community safety and how we take forward different means of keeping people safe in their homes and wider issues around the whole community. For me, it is important that we continue to support the Welsh Government-funded community support officers not just in this financial year, but in future financial years. Members will be aware that we're spending nearly £17 million this year on supporting and sustaining that individual programme. I will say to the Member that much of this work would be enhanced were policing to be devolved to this place and that we could take a more holistic approach to the management of policing services as part of a wider approach to both community safety and other matters.
Welsh: Lywydd, rwyf wedi cyfarfod gyda Chomisiynydd Heddlu a Throseddu De Cymru ddwywaith yn ystod yr wythnos ddiwethaf i drafod diogelwch cymunedol a sut y symudwn ymlaen â gwahanol ddulliau o gadw pobl yn ddiogel yn eu cartrefi a materion ehangach yn ymwneud â'r gymuned gyfan. I mi, mae'n bwysig ein bod yn parhau i gefnogi'r swyddogion cymorth cymunedol a ariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru nid yn unig dros y flwyddyn ariannol hon, ond mewn blynyddoedd ariannol i ddod. Bydd yr Aelodau'n ymwybodol ein bod yn gwario bron £17 miliwn eleni ar gefnogi a chynnal y rhaglen unigol honno. Hoffwn ddweud wrth yr Aelod y byddai llawer o'r gwaith hwn yn cael ei wella pe bai plismona'n cael ei ddatganoli i'r lle hwn inni allu gweithredu dull mwy cyfannol o reoli gwasanaethau plismona fel rhan o ddull ehangach o fynd i'r afael â diogelwch cymunedol a materion eraill.
English: We have read the report by Dr Robert Jones. It presents a very useful picture of what is going on in Welsh prisons and matters concerning Welsh people held in English prisons.
Welsh: Rydym wedi darllen yr adroddiad gan Dr Robert Jones. Mae'n cyflwyno darlun defnyddiol iawn o'r hyn sy'n digwydd yng ngharchardai Cymru a materion sy'n ymwneud â phobl o Gymru a gedwir mewn carchardai yn Lloegr.
English: Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary. I've got a quote from the second paragraph: 'Prisons in Wales are performing less well than prisons in England on a range of prison safety measures. The number of recorded self-harm incidents and prison assaults in Wales has increased at a higher rate thanin England.' In fact HMP Parc had more incidents than any other prison in England and Wales. That surely shows, and the data within the report shows, the chaotic state and nature of the prison service in Wales at this point in time. In fact, it has a detrimental impact upon Welsh prisoners and their families and their lives when they leave prison as a consequence of that. It actually only goes to highlight the abject stupidity of the MOJ putting forward a proposal for a prison in Baglan, which is off the agenda now. But, your statement on 6 April stated that you wanted meaningful discussions on the future of penal policy in Wales with the MOJ, to ensure that we have a Welsh solution for Welsh prisoners. How far has that gone with the MOJ? Have you had discussions with the MOJ on the devolution of the penal system so that we can ensure that Welsh prisoners get the support and services they need closer to home, nearer their families, and are not being housed in some warehouse somewhere else?
Welsh: Diolch ichi am yr ateb hwnnw, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Mae gennyf ddyfyniad o'r ail baragraff: Nid yw carchardai yng Nghymru yn perfformio cystal â charchardai yn Lloegr ar amrywiaeth o fesurau diogelwch carchar. Mae nifer y digwyddiadau a gofnodwyd o hunan-niwed ac ymosodiadau carchar yng Nghymru wedi cynyddu ar gyfradd uwch nag yn Lloegr. Mewn gwirionedd roedd mwy o ddigwyddiadau yng Ngharchar y Parc nag mewn unrhyw garchar arall yng Nghymru a Lloegr. Fel y data yn yr adroddiad, mae hynny'n sicr yn dangos cyflwr a natur anhrefnus y gwasanaeth carchardai yng Nghymru ar hyn o bryd. Yn wir, mae'n effeithio'n andwyol ar garcharorion o Gymru a'u teuluoedd a'u bywydau pan fyddant yn gadael carchar o ganlyniad i hynny. Mae'n tynnu sylw mewn gwirionedd at dwpdra llwyr y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder yn cyflwyno cynnig ar gyfer carchar ym Maglan, sydd wedi'i dynnu oddi ar yr agenda bellach. Ond nododd eich datganiad ar 6 Ebrill eich bod am drafodaethau ystyrlon ar ddyfodol y polisi cosbi yng Nghymru gyda'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder, i sicrhau bod gennym ateb Cymreig ar gyfer carcharorion o Gymru. Pa mor bell y mae hynny wedi mynd gyda'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder? A gawsoch drafodaethau â'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder ar ddatganoli'r system gosbi fel y gallwn sicrhau bod carcharorion o Gymru yn cael y cymorth a'r gwasanaethau sydd eu hangen arnynt yn nes at adref, yn nes at eu teuluoedd, ac nad ydynt yn cael eu cadw mewn rhyw fath o warws yn rhywle arall?
English: As another Blaenau Gwent electoral old boy, if that's the right way of putting it, I think we've all met with limited success. That's been turned around by you lately, but certainly Mr Lee and I found limited appeal. Can I commend the work of Robert Jones, who I know - and I've had the pleasure of hosting an event at which he was the principal speaker here in the Assembly - but also the work of the Wales Governance Centre? This is really quality material and we need to reflect on it. I am pleased to see that the number of Welsh children in prisons has dropped from 116 in 2010 to 32 in 2017. I think it should be the ultimate last resort to put any children in prison. That trend going down is a good thing. But, it does mean more and more children have to travel to young offender institutions, which themselves are closing. So, we have a higher percentage of Welsh children now travelling large distances, and some of them are reporting they never get a parental visit because of the hardship that causes. Can you look at this and see if we can improve the situation of these families?
Welsh: Fel un arall o gyn-fechgyn etholiadol Blaenau Gwent, os mai dyna'r ffordd iawn o'i roi, credaf mai llwyddiant cyfyngedig a gafodd pawb ohonom. Cafodd hynny ei drawsnewid gennych chi yn ddiweddar, ond yn sicr apêl gyfyngedig a oedd i mi a Mr Lee. A gaf fi gymeradwyo gwaith Robert Jones, gŵr yr wyf yn ei adnabod - ac rwyf wedi cael y pleser o gynnal digwyddiad lle roedd yn brif siaradwr yma yn y Cynulliad - a gwaith Canolfan Llywodraethiant Cymru hefyd? Mae hwn yn ddeunydd o ansawdd gwirioneddol dda ac mae angen inni ei ystyried. Rwy'n falch o weld bod nifer y plant o Gymru mewn carchardai wedi gostwng o 116 yn 2010 i 32 yn 2017. Credaf y dylai rhoi plant yng ngharchar fod yn ddewis pan fetho popeth arall. Mae'r duedd honno'n disgyn ac mae hynny'n beth da. Ond mae'n golygu bod mwy a mwy o blant yn gorfod teithio i sefydliadau troseddwyr ifanc, sydd eu hunain yn cau. Felly, mae gennym ganran uwch o blant Cymru bellach yn teithio pellteroedd mawr, ac mae rhai ohonynt yn adrodd nad ydynt byth yn cael ymweliad gan rieni oherwydd y caledi y mae hynny'n ei achosi. A wnewch chi edrych ar hyn a gweld a allwn wella sefyllfa'r teuluoedd hyn?
English: Absolutely. There is a significant correlation between the distance from home and the number of home visits received, and I think that's something that we do need to reflect upon. In fact, as to many of the young people and children who are held in the young offender institution in Parc, for example, the furthest from home are actually English-domiciled people who come from London or Birmingham or elsewhere. Whilst I have no issue with people's address or original nationality, my issue is distance from home, and we do need to have facilities - in the case of children and young people, a centre where they can continue in education, where they can be provided with support. Many of these people have some complex needs, whether it is in terms of mental illness and substance abuse, but also they come from, sometimes, some very difficult backgrounds, and they need help and support rather than harsh incarceration. What I would hope that we'd be able to do in a Welsh penal policy is to root that in a sense of rehabilitation, support, humanity and respect to enable us to move forward in a very different way.
Welsh: Yn bendant. Ceir cydberthynas arwyddocaol rhwng y pellter o adref a nifer yr ymweliadau cartref a gafwyd, ac rwy'n credu bod hynny'n rhywbeth sydd angen i ni ei ystyried. Mewn gwirionedd, o ran llawer o'r bobl ifanc a phlant a gedwir yn sefydliad troseddwyr ifanc y Parc, er enghraifft, y rhai sydd bellaf oddi cartref yw'r bobl sy'n hanu o Loegr, o Lundain neu Birmingham neu fannau eraill. Er nad oes gennyf broblem gyda chyfeiriad neu genedligrwydd y bobl, fy mhroblem yw'r pellter o adref, ac mae angen inni gael cyfleusterau - yn achos plant a phobl ifanc, canolfan lle y gallant barhau mewn addysg, lle y gellir darparu cymorth ar eu cyfer. Mae gan lawer o'r bobl hyn anghenion cymhleth, boed yn salwch meddwl neu'n gamddefnyddio sylweddau, ond hefyd dônt o gefndiroedd, weithiau, sy'n anodd iawn, ac maent angen cymorth a chefnogaeth yn hytrach na charchariad llym. Yr hyn y gobeithiaf y byddem yn gallu ei wneud mewn polisi cosbi Cymreig yw gwreiddio hynny mewn ymdeimlad o adsefydlu, cymorth, dyngarwch a pharch er mwyn ein galluogi i symud ymlaen mewn ffordd wahanol iawn.
English: We continue to provide significant support to public services in Monmouthshire.
Welsh: Rydym yn parhau i ddarparu cefnogaeth sylweddol i wasanaethau cyhoeddus yn sir Fynwy.
English: And he agrees with you.
Welsh: Ac mae'n cytuno â chi.
English: The role of local government is critical to our society and the well-being of our nation. I am committed to ensuring the sustainability and quality of those services, and the engagement of citizens and partners in that process.
Welsh: Mae rôl llywodraeth leol yn hanfodol bwysig ar gyfer ein cymdeithas a llesiant ein cenedl. Rydw i wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau bod y gwasanaethau hynny yn gynaliadwy ac o ansawdd uchel, ac yn cynnwys dinasyddion a phartneriaid yn y broses.
English: Thank you. At the beginning of the week, your fellow Members of Government the Cabinet Secretary for health and the Minister for social care announced a plan for the future of health and care, and one of the objectives is to ensure better collaboration and, indeed, integration between the work of local government and health boards. Now, one question that's been playing on my mind, and that I know is playing on the minds of some of those in local government in Wales, is: surely, in putting a health and care plan together, one would need stability in local government in order to deliver that. Reorganising local government and, therefore, social care departments isn't likely to help with that integration process. The suggestion, as I see it - and I would like to hear your view on this - is that the different department of your Government don't seem to be speaking to each other.
Welsh: Diolch. Ddechrau'r wythnos, mi gyhoeddodd eich cyd Aelodau o'r Llywodraeth yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet dros iechyd a'r Gweinidog gofal cymdeithasol gynllun ar gyfer dyfodol iechyd a gofal, ac un o'r amcanion ydy sicrhau gwell cydweithio ac, yn wir, integreiddio rhwng gwaith llywodraeth leol a byrddau iechyd. Un cwestiwn sydd ar fy meddwl i, ac rydw i'n gwybod sydd ar feddwl rhai mewn llywodraeth leol yng Nghymru, ydy: siawns, wrth roi cynllun iechyd a gofal newydd at ei gilydd, fod angen sefydlogrwydd mewn llywodraeth leol er mwyn delifro hynny. Nid ydy ad-drefnu llywodraeth leol, ac felly ad-drefnu adrannau gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol, ddim yn debygol o helpu efo'r broses integreiddio. Yr awgrym fel rydw i'n ei gweld hi - mi ddymunwn i gael eich barn chi - ydy bod gwahanol adrannau o'ch Llywodraeth chi ddim i'w gweld yn siarad efo'i gilydd.
English: Not only do we speak to each other, but we agree with each other. I had a meeting with Vaughan at the beginning of this week to discuss this issue, and I will be seeing him later on this afternoon to continue discussing that. May I say this? I don't agree with your analysis. For me, if regional collaboration in the way that you describe, and in the way that the parliamentary review demands and hopes to see and is planning for - if that is dependent on local government's capacity and the capacity of their departments to contribute to that, it's not a matter of one doing the work of the other; it's a matter of creating capacity and strength within the councils. At the moment, the councils themselves are saying that the status quo is not sustainable, and so it's not possible to build collaboration on an unsustainable system. So, what's important to me is that we put a structure in place that generates capacity to collaborate in the future and to secure the future for social care, and the capacity to deliver for the plan that we have published. So, I don't see it as a choice or an option; I see it as a process.
Welsh: Nid ydym ni jest yn siarad gyda'n gilydd, ond rydym ni'n cytuno gyda'n gilydd. Mi ges i gyfarfod gyda Vaughan ddechrau'r wythnos i drafod hynny, ac rydw i'n ei weld e yn nes ymlaen y prynhawn yma i barhau i drafod hynny. A gaf i ddweud hyn? Nid ydw i'n cytuno gyda'r dadansoddiad rydych chi'n ei wneud. I fi, os ydy cydweithio rhanbarthol yn y ffordd rydych chi wedi'i ddisgrifio ac yn y ffordd mae'r ymateb i'r adroddiad seneddol yn mynnu ac yn gobeithio ei weld ac yn cynllunio ar ei gyfer yn dibynnu ar gapasiti awdurdodau lleol ac adrannau i gyfrannu at hynny, nid yw e'n fater o un yn gwneud gwaith y llall; mae'n fater o greu capasiti a chreu cryfder y tu fewn i'r cynghorau. Ar hyn o bryd, mae'r cynghorau eu hunain yn dweud nad yw'r sefyllfa bresennol ddim yn gynaliadwy, felly nid yw e'n bosibl adeiladu cydweithio ar system sydd ddim yn gynaliadwy ei hun. Felly, i fi, beth sy'n bwysig yw ein bod ni'n rhoi'r fframwaith mewn lle sydd yn creu capasiti, sydd yn creu'r capasiti i gydweithio ar gyfer y dyfodol, ac i sicrhau dyfodol gweithwyr cymdeithasol, a hefyd y capasiti i ddelifro ar gyfer y cynllun rydym ni wedi'i gyhoeddi. Felly, nid ydw i'n ei weld e fel dewis; rydw i'n ei weld e fel proses.
English: Cabinet Secretary, you talk about building capacity, and I seem to remember a lot of the conversations around when the health boards were reorganised back in 2009 being about, 'By creating bigger organisations you create capacity.' That hasn't exactly been a rip-roaring success. But one of the things you could say would benefit local authorities across Wales, in particular the further away you go from Cardiff, would be the devolution of powers and responsibilities in particular around economic development. With the development of metro mayors and city mayors in England, these relationships, cross border, are vitally important so that when you look at economic development in particular, where local authorities have a key role to play, they are empowered to make decisions that affect their local communities and benefit their local communities. What assessment, in the time that you've been the Minister, have you made about what powers would be beneficial at a local level rather than them being held at a Welsh Government level when it comes to economic development?
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, rydych yn sôn am adeiladu capasiti, ac rwy'n cofio bod llawer o'r sgyrsiau pan aildrefnwyd y byrddau iechyd yn ôl yn 2009 yn ymwneud â 'chreu sefydliadau mwy o faint er mwyn creu capasiti'. Ni fu hynny'n llwyddiant digamsyniol. Ond un o'r pethau y gallech ddweud a fyddai o fudd i awdurdodau lleol ar draws Cymru, yn enwedig po bellaf yr ewch o Gaerdydd, fyddai datganoli pwerau a chyfrifoldebau arbennig yn ymwneud â datblygu economaidd. Gyda datblygiad meiri metro a meiri dinasoedd yn Lloegr, mae'r cysylltiadau hyn, yn drawsffiniol, yn hanfodol bwysig a phan edrychwch ar ddatblygu economaidd yn arbennig, lle mae gan awdurdodau lleol rôl allweddol i'w chwarae, cânt eu grymuso i wneud penderfyniadau sy'n effeithio ar eu cymunedau lleol ac o fudd i'w cymunedau lleol. Pa asesiad, yn yr amser y buoch yn Weinidog, a wnaethoch ynglŷn â pha bwerau a fyddai'n fuddiol ar lefel leol yn hytrach na'u bod yn cael eu cadw ar lefel Llywodraeth Cymru mewn perthynas â datblygu economaidd?
English: Welsh Government funding, along with a contribution from the Gwent police and crime commissioner, provides early intervention and diversionary projects for young people in communities.
Welsh: Mae cyllid Llywodraeth Cymru, ynghyd â chyfraniad gan gomisiynydd heddlu a throseddu Gwent, yn darparu ymyrraeth gynnar a phrosiectau dargyfeiriol ar gyfer pobl ifanc mewn cymunedau.
English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Over the last few months, Gwent Police have been piloting a groundbreaking scheme with three schools in Newport, where 58 pupils from Millbrook, Pillgwenlly and Ringland primary schools have become members of Mini Police, or H eddlu Bach. The children, with permission, go out to help officers in community events and they start discussions to educate their peers at home, at school, and with their friends. And indeed, today, Pill primary school have been out checking the speed limits in their area. The scheme's a great opportunity to inspire the next generation of police and public servants, and it's having a palpable effect on the children involved, with teachers and parents reporting big changes in many, and it's proving very popular. And this isn't just an opportunity for improvement in police relations; the effect on those children, undoubtedly, is lifelong, promoting good citizenship. Will the Cabinet Secretary look at this excellent practice taking place in Gwent Police, and these schools, and look at what the Welsh Government can do to further extend the reach of projects like this throughout our communities?
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Dros yr ychydig fisoedd diwethaf, mae Heddlu Gwent wedi bod yn treialu cynllun arloesol gyda thair ysgol yng Nghasnewydd, lle mae 58 disgyblion o ysgolion cynradd Millbrook, Pillgwenlly a Ringland wedi dod yn aelodau o'r Heddlu Bach. Mae'r plant, gyda chaniatâd, yn mynd allan i helpu swyddogion mewn digwyddiadau cymunedol a byddant yn dechrau trafodaethau i addysgu eu cyfoedion gartref, yn yr ysgol, a chyda'u ffrindiau. Ac yn wir, heddiw, mae ysgol gynradd Pillgwenlly wedi bod allan yn gwirio'r cyfyngiadau cyflymder yn eu hardal. Mae'r cynllun yn gyfle gwych i ysbrydoli'r genhedlaeth nesaf o heddlu a gweision cyhoeddus, ac mae'n cael effaith amlwg ar y plant sy'n rhan o'r cynllun, gydag athrawon a rhieni yn cofnodi newidiadau mawr yn llawer ohonynt, ac mae'n boblogaidd iawn. Ac nid cyfle ar gyfer gwella'r berthynas â'r heddlu yn unig yw hyn; mae'r effaith ar y plant hynny, yn ddi-os, yn para gydol oes, gan hyrwyddo dinasyddiaeth dda. A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet edrych ar yr arferion rhagorol hyn sy'n digwydd gyda Heddlu Gwent, a'r ysgolion hyn, ac edrych ar beth y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud i ymestyn cyrhaeddiad prosiectau fel hyn ymhellach drwy ein holl gymunedau?
