English: Free school meals for all primary school children will be known as a historic policy in this Chamber. This policy acknowledges that, despite the differences in background, when pupils enter the school gates they will be provided with equal access to food. Providing school meals prevents children from becoming collateral damage in an ever-changing economic situation that is completely out of their control. So, I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Bridgend County Borough Council catering services staff for their exemplary commitment to provide nutritious meals for our children during the pandemic. And I know that they are dedicated and they set themselves very high standards to deliver on the Welsh Government free school meals roll-out. However, as you've mentioned, Minister, with any policy change, there are logistics and systems that need to be put in place and often come with complex challenges. As you said, it's not that they've fallen behind; it's just that Bridgend County Borough Council have done a thorough assessment, and there are five - just five - schools at the moment that just simply do not have the infrastructure in place to be able to roll this out immediately and in time with everybody else, even though they're working extremely hard. They have fully co-operated with the Welsh Government assessment process, and they realise now it's just five, and they think that probably kitchen pods would be the best solution to that. So, I know you've already mentioned this, Minister, but just, really, to ask you if there is any idea in terms of timeline and guidance around when that funding will be given, because, obviously, we all want to make sure that children are having quality and quantity. The meals that need to be made at - . Sorry. So many people need more meals now, so it's just about making sure that everybody gets equal and good nutritious warm food, especially over the winter.
Welsh: Bydd prydau ysgol am ddim i bob plentyn ysgol gynradd yn cael ei adnabod fel polisi hanesyddol yn y Siambr hon. Mae'r polisi hwn yn cydnabod, er gwaethaf y gwahaniaethau o ran cefndir, pan fydd disgyblion yn mynd i mewn trwy gatiau'r ysgol byddan nhw'n cael cyfle cyfartal i gael bwyd. Mae darparu prydau ysgol yn atal plant rhag cael eu niweidio'n anuniongyrchol mewn sefyllfa economaidd sy'n newid yn barhaus ac sydd allan o'u rheolaeth yn llwyr. Felly, rwyf i hefyd eisiau achub ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i staff gwasanaethau arlwyo Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr am eu hymrwymiad eithriadol i ddarparu prydau bwyd maethlon i'n plant yn ystod y pandemig. Ac rwy'n gwybod eu bod nhw wedi ymroi ac maen nhw'n gosod safonau uchel iawn i gyflawni ymgyrch prydau ysgol am ddim Llywodraeth Cymru. Fodd bynnag, fel rydych chi wedi sôn, Weinidog, gydag unrhyw newid polisi, mae angen rhoi logisteg a systemau ar waith ac yn aml maen nhw'n cynnwys heriau cymhleth. Fel y dywedoch chi, nid oherwydd eu bod nhw wedi syrthio ar ei hôl hi; dim ond bod Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr wedi gwneud asesiad trylwyr, ac mae pum - dim ond pum - ysgol ar hyn o bryd nad oes ganddyn nhw'r seilwaith ar waith i allu cyflwyno hyn ar unwaith ac mewn pryd gyda phawb arall, er eu bod yn gweithio'n eithriadol o galed. Maen nhw wedi cydweithredu'n llawn â phroses asesu Llywodraeth Cymru, ac maen nhw'n sylweddoli nawr mai dim ond pump sydd, ac maen nhw'n meddwl mai podiau cegin fyddai'r ateb gorau i hynny mae'n debyg. Felly, rwy'n gwybod eich bod chi eisoes wedi sôn am hyn, Weinidog, ond dim ond, mewn gwirionedd, i ofyn i chi a oes unrhyw syniad o ran llinell amser ac arweiniad ynghylch pryd y bydd y cyllid hwnnw'n cael ei roi, oherwydd, yn amlwg, rydym ni i gyd eisiau sicrhau bod plant yn cael bwyd da a digon ohono. Y prydau sydd angen eu gwneud - . Mae'n ddrwg gennyf i. Mae cymaint o bobl angen mwy o brydau bwyd nawr, felly mae'n ymwneud â gwneud yn siŵr bod pawb yn cael bwyd cynnes a maethlon cyfartal a da, yn enwedig yn ystod y gaeaf.
