English: The next item is the business statement and announcement, and I call on the Trefnydd to make that statement. Rebecca Evans.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf felly yw'r datganiad a chyhoeddiad busnes, a dwi'n galw ar y Trefnydd i wneud y datganiad hynny. Rebecca Evans.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. There is one change to this week's business. The debate on the general principles and financial resolution in respect of the Welsh Elections (Coronavirus) Bill has been added as the last item of business before voting today. Draft business for the next three weeks is set out on the business statement and announcement, which is available to Members electronically.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Mae un newid i fusnes yr wythnos hon. Mae'r ddadl ar yr egwyddorion cyffredinol a'r penderfyniad ariannol o ran Bil Etholiadau Cymru (Coronafeirws) wedi'i hychwanegu fel yr eitem olaf o fusnes cyn pleidleisio heddiw. Mae'r busnes drafft ar gyfer y tair wythnos nesaf wedi'i nodi ar y datganiad a chyhoeddiad busnes, sydd ar gael i'r Aelodau'n electronig.
English: You did, Presiding Officer. Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. Business manager, could I have a statement from the health Minister, please, in relation to the new variants that are currently being identified across the United Kingdom? I appreciate there's a vaccination statement later on this afternoon, but I don't think it is appropriate to mix the two up, to be honest with you, and a direct statement from the Minister would be beneficial for Members to understand what actions the Welsh Government is taking, along with other Governments across the UK, especially in relation to the new Kent variant, E484K, given the high incidence of the Kent variant in Wales, and, obviously, the travel restrictions that have been imposed in relation to the Brazilian variant.
Welsh: Do, fe wnaethoch chi, Llywydd. Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Rheolwr busnes, a gawn ni ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd, os gwelwch yn dda, ynglŷn â'r amrywiolion newydd sy'n cael eu nodi ar hyn o bryd ledled y Deyrnas Unedig? Rwy'n sylweddoli bod datganiad brechu yn ddiweddarach y prynhawn yma, ond nid wyf i'n credu ei bod yn briodol cymysgu'r ddau, a bod yn onest â chi, a byddai datganiad uniongyrchol gan y Gweinidog o fudd i'r Aelodau ddeall pa gamau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd, ynghyd â Llywodraethau eraill ledled y DU, yn enwedig o ran amrywiolyn newydd Caint, E484K, o ystyried yr achosion uchel o amrywiolyn Caint yng Nghymru, ac, yn amlwg, y cyfyngiadau teithio sydd wedi'u gosod o ran amrywiolyn Brasil.
English: Thank you to Andrew R.T. Davies for raising that particular issue, and I will speak to the health Minister to explore what is the best way to keep Members updated in terms of the emergence of new variants and, particularly, the variant of concern to which the Member refers. As we say, we do have a statement on vaccinations next today, but I will explore what further information might be provided usefully to Members.
Welsh: Diolch i Andrew R.T. Davies am godi'r mater penodol hwnnw, a byddaf i'n siarad â'r Gweinidog Iechyd i archwilio beth yw'r ffordd orau o roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau o ran amrywiolion newydd yn ymddangos, ac yn benodol, yr amrywiolyn y mae'r Aelod yn cyfeirio ato sy'n peri pryder. Fel y dywedwn, mae gennym ddatganiad ynghylch brechiadau nesaf heddiw, ond byddaf yn edrych i weld pa wybodaeth ychwanegol y gellid ei darparu a fyddai'n ddefnyddiol i'r Aelodau.
English: Well, I think that the First Minister's response to the question raised during First Minister's questions today was quite clear. However, I will invite you to write to the Minister for Housing and Local Government, setting out your concerns, so that you can receive a written response in respect of that. On the matter of flooding, I completely agree that it is important that individuals affected by flooding do get that financial assistance as quickly as possible, but then also the assistance in terms of information and advice as well. I do note that the order paper for tomorrow does have several questions to the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs in relation to flooding, and particularly the recent impact of storm Christoph. So, that might be an early opportunity to hear from the Minister on these matters.
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n credu bod ymateb y Prif Weinidog i'r cwestiwn a godwyd yn ystod cwestiynau'r Prif Weinidog heddiw yn eithaf clir. Fodd bynnag, byddaf i'n eich gwahodd chi i ysgrifennu at y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, yn nodi eich pryderon, fel y gallwch chi gael ymateb ysgrifenedig ynglŷn â hynny. O ran llifogydd, rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr ei bod yn bwysig bod unigolion y mae'r llifogydd wedi effeithio arnyn nhw'n cael y cymorth ariannol hwnnw cyn gynted â phosibl, ond yna hefyd y cymorth o ran gwybodaeth a chyngor hefyd. Sylwaf fod gan y papur trefn ar gyfer yfory nifer o gwestiynau i Weinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig ynglŷn â llifogydd, ac yn enwedig effaith ddiweddar storm Christoph. Felly, gallai hynny fod yn gyfle cynnar i glywed gan y Gweinidog ynghylch y materion hyn.
English: I raised the issue of the differential economic impact of the coronavirus on deprived communities during First Minister's questions. I would like to ask for a Government debate on this matter. This is something that has been the subject of a number of different studies and reports and analyses over the last few months, and it will set the agenda for the Government's approach, I would hope, over the coming weeks and months to these matters. I think that it is important to have a debate in Government time on the differential economic impact of coronavirus on different communities. The second issue that I would like to raise, Minister, is the reduction in time available on statements and debates, at present, to 30 minutes. This significantly reduces the opportunity for backbenchers to raise issues on behalf of their constituents. I recognise that we're all working under different constraints at the moment, but it is important that it remains a Parliament, and that means that all of us have an equal opportunity to raise matters that are important to our constituents and our constituencies. The reduction of time available for us to do that significantly impacts our ability to do so, and I would be grateful if that matter could be reviewed.
Welsh: Codais fater effaith economaidd wahaniaethol y coronafeirws ar gymunedau difreintiedig yn ystod cwestiynau'r Prif Weinidog. Hoffwn i ofyn am ddadl gan y Llywodraeth ar y mater hwn. Mae hyn yn rhywbeth sydd wedi bod yn destun nifer o wahanol astudiaethau ac adroddiadau a dadansoddiadau yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf, a bydd yn gosod yr agenda ar gyfer dull gweithredu'r Llywodraeth i'r materion hyn, gobeithio, yn ystod yr wythnosau a'r misoedd nesaf. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig cael dadl yn amser y Llywodraeth ar effaith economaidd wahaniaethol coronafeirws ar wahanol gymunedau. Yr ail fater yr hoffwn i ei godi, Gweinidog, yw'r lleihad yn yr amser sydd ar gael ar gyfer datganiadau a dadleuon, ar hyn o bryd, i 30 munud. Mae hyn yn lleihau'n sylweddol y cyfle i feincwyr cefn godi materion ar ran eu hetholwyr. Rwy'n cydnabod ein bod ni i gyd yn gweithio dan gyfyngiadau gwahanol ar hyn o bryd, ond mae'n bwysig ei bod yn parhau'n Senedd, ac mae hynny'n golygu bod pob un ohonom ni'n cael cyfle cyfartal i godi materion sy'n bwysig i'n hetholwyr a'n hetholaethau. Mae lleihau'r amser sydd ar gael i ni wneud hynny'n effeithio'n sylweddol ar ein gallu ni i wneud hynny, a byddwn i'n ddiolchgar os byddai modd adolygu'r mater hwnnw.
English: So, on that second point, that matter is kept under review constantly within the Business Committee and, inevitably, we do have to make some difficult decisions in terms of both the business that we table and also the amount of time which we're able to give to it, given the constrained ways under which we are currently working. But as I said, we do keep this constantly under review because it's absolutely not the intention to curtail the opportunity for scrutiny. So, I do take that point very much on board. And then the second point was regarding the differential impact of the coronavirus on communities across Wales and, absolutely, that will be important in terms of defining the way forward and the kind of recovery that we have, which has to be a green and fair recovery where nobody is left behind. And I know that colleagues will consider the best way to have that discussion.
Welsh: Felly, ar yr ail bwynt hwnnw, mae'r mater hwnnw'n cael ei adolygu'n gyson yn y Pwyllgor Busnes ac, yn anochel, mae'n rhaid i ni wneud rhai penderfyniadau anodd o ran y busnes yr ydym ni'n ei gyflwyno a hefyd faint o amser y gallwn ni ei roi iddo, o ystyried y ffyrdd cyfyngedig yr ydym ni'n gweithio oddi tanyn nhw ar hyn o bryd. Ond fel y dywedais i, rydym ni'n parhau i adolygu hyn yn gyson gan nad yw'n fwriad o gwbl gwtogi ar y cyfle i graffu. Felly, rwy'n wirioneddol yn derbyn y pwynt hwnnw. Ac yna roedd yr ail bwynt yn ymwneud ag effaith wahaniaethol y coronafeirws ar gymunedau ledled Cymru ac, yn sicr, bydd hynny'n bwysig o ran diffinio'r ffordd ymlaen a'r math o adferiad sydd gennym, y bydd rhaid iddo fod yn adferiad gwyrdd a theg lle nad oes neb yn cael ei adael ar ôl. Ac rwy'n gwybod y bydd cydweithwyr yn ystyried y ffordd orau o gynnal y drafodaeth honno.
English: I call for a Welsh Government statement on shopping arrangements for blind and partially sighted people. Welsh Government officials, I understand, are working with supermarkets to improve their coronavirus safety measures. Proposed measures include systems to manage the number of customers in store, more visible signage and hygiene stations, and increased social distancing markers. RNIB Cymru have been approached by a number of their members worried about what these new restrictions might mean for them. Social distancing is near impossible for blind and partially sighted people, and navigating queues and altered store layouts has been extremely challenging for them throughout the whole pandemic. RNIB Cymru are therefore calling for guidance to be issued through supermarkets and essential retailers to make staff aware of the types of assistance and adjustments they can offer to blind and partially sighted customers. Blind and partially sighted customers need to know both how the Welsh Government intends to address the issue of access to supermarkets for them, and what guidance it will be issuing to retailers to raise staff awareness and make sure vulnerable people are not disadvantaged even further. I call for a statement accordingly.
Welsh: Rwy'n galw am ddatganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar y trefniadau siopa i bobl ddall a rhannol ddall. Rwy'n deall bod swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio gydag archfarchnadoedd i wella eu mesurau diogelwch coronafeirws. Mae'r mesurau arfaethedig yn cynnwys systemau i reoli nifer y cwsmeriaid mewn siopau, arwyddion a hylendid mwy gweladwy, a mwy o arwyddion cadw pellter cymdeithasol. Mae nifer o'u haelodau wedi cysylltu ag RNIB Cymru yn poeni ynghylch yr hyn y gallai'r cyfyngiadau newydd ei olygu iddyn nhw. Mae cadw pellter cymdeithasol bron yn amhosibl i bobl ddall a rhannol ddall, ac mae ymdopi â chiwiau a chynlluniau siopau sydd wedi'u haddasu wedi bod yn heriol iawn iddyn nhw drwy gydol y pandemig cyfan. Felly, mae RNIB Cymru yn galw am gyhoeddi canllawiau drwy archfarchnadoedd a manwerthwyr hanfodol i sicrhau bod staff yn ymwybodol o'r mathau o gymorth ac addasiadau y gallan nhw eu cynnig i gwsmeriaid dall a rhannol ddall. Mae angen i gwsmeriaid dall a rhannol ddall wybod sut mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu mynd i'r afael â mynediad i archfarchnadoedd ar eu cyfer, a pha ganllawiau y bydd yn eu rhoi i fanwerthwyr i godi ymwybyddiaeth staff a sicrhau nad yw pobl sy'n agored i niwed dan anfantais ychwanegol. Rwy'n galw am ddatganiad yn unol â hynny.
English: I'm grateful to Mark Isherwood for raising the important issue of the experience of blind and partially sighted people in supermarkets during the current restrictions. I know that it does make situations particularly difficult for them, especially when people don't always understand that blind and partially sighted people might find it more difficult to maintain that social distance, and so forth. I'm aware myself of the RNIB work, but I will ensure that the health Minister - although I'm sure he's already familiar with it - does review that, with a view to exploring what more we can say to ensure that people aren't disadvantaged and that awareness is heightened as much as possible.
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar i Mark Isherwood am godi mater pwysig profiad pobl ddall a rhannol ddall mewn archfarchnadoedd yn ystod y cyfyngiadau presennol. Gwn ei fod yn gwneud sefyllfaoedd yn arbennig o anodd iddyn nhw, yn enwedig pan nad yw pobl bob amser yn deall y gallai pobl ddall a rhannol ddall ei chael yn fwy anodd cynnal y pellter cymdeithasol hwnnw, ac ati. Rwy'n ymwybodol fy hun o waith yr RNIB, ond byddaf i'n sicrhau bod y Gweinidog Iechyd - er fy mod yn siŵr ei fod eisoes yn gyfarwydd ag ef - yn adolygu hynny, gyda golwg ar archwilio beth arall y gallwn ni ei ddweud i sicrhau nad yw'r bobl hyn dan anfantais a bod cymaint â phosibl o ymwybyddiaeth yn cael ei chodi.
English: Can we have a statement on the number of pupils who are without either a device or internet access in order to do their home schooling? Does the Government have an idea of the number of children without the means to participate in online school lessons? Because if the Government is serious about eliminating the link between school attainment and poverty, then this issue should be a top priority. And the fact that there are children without the means to do online schooling nearly a year since we first went into lockdown means that that link between education attainment and poverty will be amplified. I've had parents and teachers approach me to say that this is still an issue in the Rhondda. In England, children without internet access in their homes have been promised free and unlimited data until the end of the academic year, and this scheme came about as a result of the Department for Education in England teaming up with internet providers. I hope we can have a similar scheme adopted in Wales soon, and I would like an indication from the Government if and when you are able to provide one.
Welsh: A gawn ni ddatganiad o ran nifer y disgyblion sydd heb ddyfais neu gyfle i ddefnyddio'r rhyngrwyd er mwyn gwneud eu gwaith addysg gartref? A oes gan y Llywodraeth syniad o nifer y plant sydd heb y modd i gymryd rhan mewn gwersi ysgol ar-lein? Oherwydd os yw'r Llywodraeth o ddifrif ynghylch dileu'r cysylltiad rhwng cyrhaeddiad ysgol a thlodi, yna dylai'r mater hwn fod yn brif flaenoriaeth. Ac mae'r ffaith bod yna blant heb y modd i gael eu haddysgu ar-lein bron flwyddyn ers inni fynd i'r cyfyngiadau symud am y tro cyntaf yn golygu y bydd y cysylltiad hwnnw rhwng cyrhaeddiad addysg a thlodi yn cael ei gynyddu. Rwyf wedi cael rhieni ac athrawon yn cysylltu â mi i ddweud bod hyn yn dal i fod yn broblem yn y Rhondda. Yn Lloegr, cafodd data di-dâl a diderfyn eu haddo i blant sydd heb y modd i fanteisio ar y rhyngrwyd yn eu cartrefi tan ddiwedd y flwyddyn academaidd, a chafodd y cynllun hwnnw ei weithredu o ganlyniad i'r Adran Addysg yn Lloegr yn gweithio gyda darparwyr rhyngrwyd. Gobeithio y gallwn ni gael cynllun tebyg wedi'i fabwysiadu yng Nghymru'n fuan, a hoffwn i gael syniad gan y Llywodraeth os a phryd y gall ddarparu cynllun o'r fath.
English: I'll certainly ask the education Minister to provide an update on that specific issue, but I can say that Welsh Government has been very proactive in terms of providing devices for children and young people to use in order to access the online and blended learning. Just before Christmas, we announced a further £11 million to purchase a number of devices - I think, at the time, it was 35,000 devices - which would take the number of devices distributed to children and young people across Wales to 133,000 during the course of the pandemic. I think that's quite a significant achievement. And we also recognise that it's difficult for some children to get online, so we've also distributed more than 11,000 Mi-Fi devices, so that children and young people who don't have that reliable connection at home can do so. Clearly, if there's more to do, then we would want to do it, so I will ensure that the education Minister provides the update to that specific question.
Welsh: Yn sicr, byddaf i'n gofyn i'r Gweinidog Addysg roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf o ran y mater penodol hwnnw, ond gallaf ddweud bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn rhagweithiol iawn o ran darparu dyfeisiau i blant a phobl ifanc eu defnyddio er mwyn manteisio ar ddysgu ar-lein a dysgu cyfunol. Ychydig cyn y Nadolig, cyhoeddwyd £11 miliwn arall i brynu nifer o ddyfeisiau - rwy'n credu, ar y pryd, mai 35,000 o ddyfeisiau oedd hynny - a fyddai'n mynd â nifer y dyfeisiau wedi'u dosbarthu i blant a phobl ifanc ledled Cymru yn ystod y pandemig i 133,000. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n gyflawniad eithaf sylweddol. Ac rydym hefyd yn cydnabod ei bod yn anodd i rai plant fynd ar-lein, felly rydym hefyd wedi dosbarthu mwy na 11,000 o ddyfeisiau Mi-Fi, fel y gall plant a phobl ifanc nad oes ganddyn nhw'r cysylltiad dibynadwy hwnnw gartref wneud hynny. Yn amlwg, os oes modd gwneud rhagor, yna byddem eisiau gwneud hynny, a byddaf i'n sicrhau bod y Gweinidog Addysg yn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf o ran y cwestiwn penodol hwnnw.
English: May I ask for an oral statement or a debate in Government time on nitrate vulnerable zones? I note that the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs Lesley Griffiths is answering questions tomorrow and put out a written statement, but the timing of that written statement was such that there is no opportunity for ordinary Members of the Senedd to ask questions at that session tomorrow. The Minister said, back on 8 April last year, that she would bring in regulations only when the crisis comes to an end. Then, on 16 September last year, she said, 'What I have committed to is not bringing them forward whilst we're in the middle of a COVID-19 pandemic', and then, on 14 October, 'I have committed not to do anything while we are at the height of the pandemic.' Is it thus the Welsh Government position that we are past the height of the pandemic and no longer in its middle, and that it will come to an end by 1 April? If so, why are we debating emergency legislation later to potentially delay the election from 6 May? I think the Minister needs to give us an explanation on the matter of what she said before, and also an explanation of why the whole of Wales has been a nitrate vulnerable zone under her regulations, at great cost to farmers, many of whom aren't responsible for these problems and don't farm in areas of Wales where they're widespread. Why can't we have a similar system to that which the UK Government has for England, where areas only become NVZs where the incidence is high or where there is a particular problem?
Welsh: A gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad llafar neu ddadl yn amser y Llywodraeth ar barthau perygl nitradau? Rwy'n sylwi bod Lesley Griffiths, Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig, yn ateb cwestiynau yfory ac yn cyflwyno datganiad ysgrifenedig, ond roedd amseriad y datganiad ysgrifenedig hwnnw'n golygu nad oes cyfle i Aelodau cyffredin y Senedd ofyn cwestiynau yn y sesiwn honno yfory. Dywedodd y Gweinidog, yn ôl ar 8 Ebrill y llynedd, y byddai'n cyflwyno rheoliadau dim ond pan fydd yr argyfwng yn dod i ben. Yna, ar 16 Medi y llynedd, dywedodd, Yr hyn yr wyf i wedi ymrwymo iddo yw peidio â'u cyflwyno wrth inni fod yng nghanol pandemig COVID-19, ac yna, ar 14 Hydref, Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i beidio â gwneud dim pan mae'r pandemig yn ei anterth. Felly, ai safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru yw ein bod ni wedi mynd heibio i'r pandemig yn ei anterth ac nad ydym ni bellach yn ei ganol, ac y daw i ben erbyn 1 Ebrill? Os felly, pam ydym ni'n trafod deddfwriaeth frys yn nes ymlaen i ohirio'r etholiad o 6 Mai? Rwy'n credu bod angen i'r Gweinidog roi esboniad inni am yr hyn a ddywedodd o'r blaen, a hefyd esboniad pam mae Cymru gyfan wedi bod yn barth perygl nitradau o dan ei rheoliadau hi, ar gost fawr i'r ffermwyr, lawer ohonyn nhw nad ydyn nhw'n gyfrifol am y problemau hyn ac nad ydyn nhw'n ffermio mewn ardaloedd yng Nghymru lle maen nhw'n gyffredin. Pam na allwn ni gael system debyg i'r un sydd gan Lywodraeth y DU ar gyfer Lloegr, lle mae ardaloedd yn Barthau Perygl Nitradau dim ond pan mae nifer yr achosion yn uchel neu lle mae yna broblem benodol?
English: Well, the First Minister did answer some questions on this during First Minister's questions this afternoon, but it is the case that the Minister used the negative procedure to lay the regulations, because that is the system set out in law. However, the Business Committee has today agreed a debate on the annulment of the regulations, and that will be debated by the Senedd in due course.
Welsh: Wel, fe atebodd y Prif Weinidog rai cwestiynau ar hyn yn ystod cwestiynau'r Prif Weinidog y prynhawn yma, ond mae'n wir fod y Gweinidog wedi defnyddio'r weithdrefn negyddol i osod y rheoliadau, oherwydd dyna'r system sydd wedi'i nodi yn y gyfraith. Fodd bynnag, mae'r Pwyllgor Busnes heddiw wedi cytuno ar ddadl ar ddirymu'r rheoliadau, a bydd y Senedd yn trafod hynny maes o law.
English: I wonder if I could ask for a statement from the health Minister on the continuation of telemedical abortion services? These have been absolutely vital during the pandemic lockdown to enable women to access early medical abortions without having to leave their homes. I wrote to the Minister in November on behalf of the women's health cross-party group, pointing out the discussion that we'd had, with the involvement of all seven health boards, about the transformational use of telemedicine to enable women to get that early consultation without risk and the safety and efficacy of it. Actually, for women living in rural areas, where they're some distance away from clinics that provide these services, it's been transformational, and I just wondered if we could have a statement to find out whether or not this excellent way of delivering prudent healthcare can be continued on a more permanent basis.
Welsh: Tybed a gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd am barhad gwasanaethau erthylu telefeddygol? Mae'r rhain wedi bod yn gwbl hanfodol yn ystod cyfyngiadau symud y pandemig i alluogi menywod i gael erthyliadau meddygol cynnar heb orfod gadael eu cartrefi. Ysgrifennais i at y Gweinidog ym mis Tachwedd ar ran y grŵp trawsbleidiol ar iechyd menywod, gan dynnu sylw at y drafodaeth a gafwyd, gyda chyfranogiad pob un o'r saith bwrdd iechyd, ynghylch y defnydd trawsnewidiol o delefeddygaeth i alluogi menywod i gael yr ymgynghoriad cynnar hwnnw heb risg a diogelwch ac effeithiolrwydd y peth. Mewn gwirionedd, i fenywod sy'n byw mewn ardaloedd gwledig, lle maen nhw gryn bellter oddi wrth glinigau sy'n darparu'r gwasanaethau hyn, mae wedi bod yn drawsnewidiol, ac roeddwn i'n tybio a gawn ni ddatganiad i ganfod a fyddai modd parhau â'r ffordd ragorol hon o ddarparu gofal iechyd darbodus yn fwy parhaol ai peidio.
