English: As I said in my response to your first question, I do regret the fact that there will not be - in your view, anyway - an independent public inquiry specifically here in Wales, commissioned by yourself as First Minister. Some people might say that that's running away from scrutiny and accountability for the decisions that you were taking as a Government, because that's what's required here is the sunlight of a public inquiry into those decisions, and above all, to put the preparations in place for any future pandemic we might face, First Minister. I would be grateful if, at your earliest convenience, you could make a statement available to explain exactly how the UK-wide inquiry will look at the Wales-specific decisions, which I appreciate that you've given some information on in your response to me this afternoon, but it is vitally important that Senedd Members understand exactly how Wales's experience will be reflected in that inquiry. And I, again, put on the record from the Welsh Conservatives' point of view that we believe that there should be a Wales-wide public inquiry to look into the very specific issues that Wales had to deal with and, importantly, the decisions that Welsh Government Ministers took.
Welsh: Fel y dywedais i yn fy ymateb i'ch cwestiwn cyntaf, mae'n peri gofid i mi na fydd - yn eich barn chi, beth bynnag - ymchwiliad cyhoeddus annibynnol penodol yma yng Nghymru, wedi ei gomisiynu gennych chi fel Prif Weinidog. Efallai byddai rhai pobl yn dweud mai rhedeg i ffwrdd oddi wrth graffu ac atebolrwydd yw hynny am y penderfyniadau yr oeddech chi'n eu gwneud fel Llywodraeth, gan mai dyna sydd ei angen yma yw golau haul ymchwiliad cyhoeddus i'r penderfyniadau hynny, ac yn anad dim, i roi'r paratoadau ar waith ar gyfer unrhyw bandemig y gallem ni ei wynebu yn y dyfodol, Prif Weinidog. Byddwn i'n ddiolchgar pe gallech chi, cyn gynted ag y gallwch, sicrhau bod datganiad ar gael i egluro sut yn union y bydd yr ymchwiliad ledled y DU yn ystyried y penderfyniadau sy'n benodol i Gymru. Rwy'n sylweddoli eich chi bod wedi rhoi rhywfaint o wybodaeth am hyn yn eich ymateb i mi y prynhawn yma, ond mae'n hanfodol bwysig bod Aelodau'r Senedd yn deall yn union sut y bydd profiad Cymru yn cael ei adlewyrchu yn yr ymchwiliad hwnnw. A hoffwn i, unwaith eto, gofnodi safbwynt y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig ein bod ni'n credu y dylid cynnal ymchwiliad cyhoeddus Cymru gyfan i ymchwilio i'r materion penodol iawn y bu'n rhaid i Gymru ymdrin â nhw ac, yn bwysig, y penderfyniadau a wnaeth Gweinidogion Llywodraeth Cymru.
English: Well, Llywydd, of course, as more details of how the inquiry will be conducted become available - and we'll be part of the discussions about that - I will certainly make sure that statements are provided to Members here too, so that they are as up-to-date on all of that as possible. There's nothing that the Member has said about the need for an inquiry, the nature or the purpose of the inquiry that I disagree with. I do just have to say to him, though, it's not just my view that there should be a UK-wide inquiry; it is the view of the Conservative Government of the United Kingdom. So, I think, in that case, if he feels strongly that a different decision should be made, then I think that he should be taking that up with the Prime Minister as well. He's a member of that party, he's the leader of that party in the Senedd, and when he says to me that it is my view, as though it is some idiosyncratic view of the First Minister in Wales, let me just tell him again: I have agreed with the Prime Minister; I have agreed with the First Ministers of other parts of the United Kingdom that the best way to provide the information that the people in Wales need is by being part of that UK inquiry.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, wrth gwrs, wrth i fwy o fanylion am sut y bydd yr ymchwiliad yn cael ei gynnal fod ar gael - a byddwn ni yn rhan o'r trafodaethau ynghylch hynny - byddaf i'n sicr yn sicrhau bod datganiadau'n cael eu darparu i'r Aelodau yn y fan yma hefyd, fel bod ganddyn nhw yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf posibl am hynny i gyd. Nid oes dim y mae'r Aelod wedi ei ddweud am yr angen am ymchwiliad, natur na phwrpas yr ymchwiliad yr wyf i'n anghytuno ag ef. Ond mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud wrtho, nid fy marn i yn unig yw y dylid cynnal ymchwiliad y DU gyfan; dyna yw barn Llywodraeth Geidwadol y Deyrnas Unedig. Felly, rwyf i'n credu, felly, os yw ef yn teimlo'n gryf y dylid gwneud penderfyniad gwahanol, yna rwyf i'n credu y dylai fod yn codi hynny gyda'r Prif Weinidog hefyd. Mae e'n aelod o'r blaid honno, fe yw arweinydd y blaid honno yn y Senedd, a phan fydd yn dweud wrthyf i mai fy marn i ydyw, fel pe byddai'n rhyw farn idiosyncratig gan y Prif Weinidog yng Nghymru, gadewch i mi ddweud wrtho eto: rwyf i wedi cytuno â'r Prif Weinidog; rwyf i wedi cytuno â Phrif Weinidogion rhannau eraill o'r Deyrnas Unedig mai'r ffordd orau o ddarparu'r wybodaeth sydd ei hangen ar bobl Cymru yw trwy fod yn rhan o'r ymchwiliad y DU gyfan hwnnw.
English: Thank you very much, Llywydd. A fortnight ago, I was wishing the First Minister well on his re-election and today I'm wishing the leader of Plaid Cymru well as he begins his period of paternity leave, and I'm sure that everyone would wish to send their best wishes to Adam and family. In March, the Royal College of Nursing said that three quarters of their members had reported an increase in work pressures, over half said that staff morale had declined, and one in three stated that they were thinking about leaving the profession, with over half stating that wage levels were the reason for that. We expect the NHS pay review body to make its recommendations later this month, and I fully expect you to say that you will await those recommendations, but do please give us an idea of what you think is fair, and you can refer, if you wish, to the 1 per cent increase suggested in Westminster and the 4 per cent that has been agreed in Scotland.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Bythefnos yn ôl, roeddwn i'n dymuno'n dda wrth i'r Prif Weinidog gael ei ailethol a heddiw dwi'n dymuno'n dda i arweinydd Plaid Cymru wrth iddo fo ddechrau ar gyfnod tadolaeth, a dwi'n siŵr fy mod i'n siarad ar ran pawb drwy anfon ein dymuniadau gorau at Adam a'r teulu. Ym mis Mawrth, mi ddywedodd y Coleg Nyrsio Brenhinol fod tri chwarter eu haelodau nhw wedi adrodd cynnydd mewn pwysau gwaith, dros hanner yn dweud bod moral staff wedi dirywio, ac mi ddywedodd un o bob tri eu bod nhw'n meddwl gadael y proffesiwn, efo dros hanner yn dweud bod lefelau cyflog yn rheswm am hynny. Rydyn ni'n disgwyl i gorff adolygu cyflogau'r NHS wneud eu hargymhelliad yn ddiweddarach y mis yma, a dwi'n llawn disgwyl y byddwch chi'n dweud eich bod chi am aros am eu hargymhelliad nhw, ond rhowch syniad i ni o beth ydych chi'n meddwl sydd yn deg, ac mi allwch chi gyfeirio, os liciwch chi, at yr 1 y cant o gynnydd a awgrymwyd yn San Steffan a'r 4 y cant sydd wedi cael ei gytuno yn yr Alban.
English: Llywydd, of course I would join Rhun ap Iorwerth in sending our best wishes to Adam and his family too. We have provided information to the body that makes recommendations on salaries in the health service and it is now up to them to come to conclusions. That is why we have an independent panel in place to do that work. There is one thing that's clear, and I need to get this on the record for Members now: on the possibility of us paying more than the funding provided to us through the Barnett formula, well, there is no scope for us to do that. The funding provided to us in Wales is reliant on decisions taken by Ministers in Westminster on wages and salaries, and we are then provided with a Barnett consequential. I have been in this position as Minister for health, where the only thing that we could discuss and negotiate with the royal college and the unions was how we could use the funds. We don't have the scope to raise more funding, but we can use that funding differently when we know what we'll be provided with.
Welsh: Llywydd, wrth gwrs dwi'n cytuno â Rhun ap Iorwerth yn ei ddymuniadau gorau i Adam a'i deulu hefyd. Rŷn ni wedi rhoi ein gwybodaeth i'r pwyllgor sy'n gwneud yr argymhellion ar gyflogaeth yn y maes iechyd ac mae lan iddyn nhw i ddod at gasgliadau. Dyna pam y mae panel annibynnol i wneud y gwaith yna. Mae un peth yn glir, a bydd yn rhaid imi ei ddweud nawr wrth yr Aelodau fan hyn: o ran y posibiliadau i ni i dalu mwy na'r arian sy'n dod atom ni drwy'r fformiwla Barnett, wel, does dim lle i wneud hynny. Mae'r arian sy'n dod atom ni yng Nghymru yn dibynnu ar y penderfyniadau ym maes cyflogaeth y mae Gweinidogion yn San Steffan yn eu gwneud, ac mae hwnna'n rhoi'r arian i ni, drwy Barnett. Dwi wedi bod yn y sefyllfa yma fel y Gweinidog dros iechyd, lle'r unig beth yr oeddem ni'n gallu siarad amdano â'r undebau a'r coleg brenhinol oedd sut i ddefnyddio'r arian. Does dim lle i ni godi mwy o arian, ond rŷn ni yn gallu gwneud pethau gwahanol gyda'r arian pan rŷn ni'n gwybod faint sy'n mynd i ddod atom ni.
English: It's your prerogative, of course, to prioritise expenditure. I believe that health and care staff are a priority, and I think that the past year has shown that. What the RCN has said is that the last year has underlined problems that already existed: work pressures, low morale and the lack of staff, of course. The Welsh Government doesn't publish figures on empty posts in terms of nursing. Estimates suggest that it could be around 1,600. A salary increase would certainly help with the recruitment and retention of staff. The health Minister, in an interview on Sunday, wasn't willing to confirm whether the Government would be implementing the recommendations of the independent group. She was asked whether it would be implemented if the recommendation was significantly above 1 per cent. Her response was:
Welsh: Eich braint chi, wrth gwrs, ydy cael blaenoriaethu gwariant. Dwi'n digwydd meddwl bod staff iechyd a gofal yn flaenoriaeth. Dwi'n meddwl bod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf wedi dangos hynny. Fel mae'r RCN yn dweud ei hun, beth mae'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf wedi gwneud ydy tanlinellu'r problemau a oedd yno yn barod: pwysau gwaith, morâl isel a phrinder staff hefyd. Dydy Llywodraeth Cymru ddim yn cyhoeddi ffigurau ar swyddi gwag nyrsio. Mae amcangyfrifon yn awgrymu y gallai fo fod yn rhyw 1,600. Buasai codiad cyflog yn sicr yn helpu i recriwtio a chadw staff. Doedd y Gweinidog iechyd, mewn cyfweliad ddydd Sul, ddim yn fodlon cadarnhau a fyddai'r Llywodraeth yn gweithredu argymhellion y grŵp annibynnol. Mi ofynnwyd iddi hi a fyddai fo'n cael ei weithredu os byddai'r argymhelliad yn sylweddol uwch nag 1 y cant, er enghraifft. Ei hymateb hi oedd:
English: 'I guess we will go beyond 1 per cent.' This shouldn't be a guessing game when it comes to band 5 registered nurses on less than £25,000 a year. But, if we use again Scotland's agreed 4 per cent increase as a reference point, are you happy to say here now that nurses here won't receive a lower settlement than that?
Welsh: 'Rwy'n dyfalu y byddwn yn mynd y tu hwnt i 1 y cant.' Ni ddylai hon fod yn gêm ddyfalu wrth sôn am nyrsys cofrestredig band 5 sydd ar lai na £25,000 y flwyddyn. Ond, os byddwn yn defnyddio unwaith eto y cynnydd o 4 y cant y cytunodd yr Alban arno fel pwynt cyfeirio, a ydych chi'n fodlon dweud yn y fan hon yn awr na fydd nyrsys yma yn cael setliad is na hynny?
English: Well, what I'll say, Llywydd, is what I've said already. We've provided our evidence to the independent review body. We'll wait to see what they have to say. There's no point in setting up bodies and going through the process if you want me to second guess, before they've reported, what the Welsh Government might do. We will wait and we will see what they conclude. Of course the Welsh Government wants to make sure that front-line workers are properly paid for the work that they do. I agree with what many have said, that the 1 per cent offer that the UK Government appeared to put on the table for healthcare staff, after everything that they have done for us in the last 12 months, simply wasn't adequate to reflect that contribution. But, there is a process that is in play and the Member will have to wait, just as we do, to see where that process takes us, how much money it brings to us here in Wales, and what we are then able to do with it. We will do that in the way that we always have, in partnership with the trade union movement - those who represent those staff - looking always to do the very best that we can for them.
Welsh: Wel, yr hyn y byddaf yn ei ddweud, Llywydd, yw'r hyn yr wyf i wedi ei ddweud eisoes. Rydym ni wedi darparu ein tystiolaeth i'r corff adolygu annibynnol. Byddwn yn aros i weld beth y bydd ganddo i'w ddweud. Nid oes unrhyw bwynt sefydlu cyrff a mynd drwy'r broses os ydych chi eisiau i mi ddyfalu, cyn iddyn nhw adrodd, beth allai Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud. Byddwn yn aros a byddwn yn gweld pa gasgliadau mae'n dod iddynt. Wrth gwrs, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn dymuno sicrhau bod gweithwyr rheng flaen yn cael eu talu'n briodol am y gwaith y maen nhw'n ei wneud. Rwy'n cytuno â'r hyn y mae llawer wedi ei ddweud, nad oedd y cynnig o 1 y cant yr oedd yn ymddangos bod Llywodraeth y DU yn ei gynnig i staff gofal iechyd, ar ôl popeth y maen nhw wedi ei wneud i ni yn ystod y 12 mis diwethaf, yn ddigonol i adlewyrchu'r cyfraniad hwnnw. Ond, mae proses ar waith a bydd yn rhaid i'r Aelod aros, yn union fel y mae'n rhaid i ninnau, i weld i ble bydd y broses yna yn ein harwain, faint o arian a fydd yn dod i ni yma yng Nghymru, a'r hyn y gallwn ei wneud ag ef wedyn. Byddwn yn gwneud hynny yn yr un modd ag yr ydym ni wedi ei wneud erioed, mewn partneriaeth â'r mudiad undebau llafur - y rhai sy'n cynrychioli'r aelodau staff hynny - gan geisio bob amser gwneud y gorau un y gallwn ei wneud drostyn nhw.
English: You'll know that, in the recent election, I outlined Plaid Cymru's plans to ensure that care workers would also be recognised with a fair pay settlement. To us, that was part of creating a national health and care service, moving care workers onto NHS pay scales. You promised to pay care workers the real living wage. So, at the very least, let's see that implemented without delay. In that same interview, actually, on Sunday, the health and care Minister said that your Government will do that as soon as you can. But, I think that we need to do better than that in terms of giving a timescale. So, let me give you this opportunity during Carers Week to give that promise that there will be no delay. 'As soon as we can', I think, is no consolation to front-line staff who have put their own safety at risk during the past extraordinary year.
Welsh: Byddwch chi'n gwybod fy mod i, yn yr etholiad diweddar, wedi amlinellu cynlluniau Plaid Cymru i sicrhau y byddai gweithwyr gofal yn cael eu cydnabod hefyd gyda setliad cyflog teg. I ni, roedd hynny yn rhan o greu gwasanaeth iechyd a gofal cenedlaethol, gan symud gweithwyr gofal i raddfeydd cyflog y GIG. Fe wnaethoch chi addo talu'r cyflog byw gwirioneddol i weithwyr gofal. Felly, o leiaf, gadewch i ni weld hynny'n cael ei weithredu'n ddi-oed. Yn yr un cyfweliad, mewn gwirionedd, ddydd Sul, dywedodd y Gweinidog iechyd a gofal y bydd eich Llywodraeth yn gwneud hynny cyn gynted ag y gallwch chi. Ond, rwy'n credu bod angen i ni wneud yn well na hynny o ran rhoi amserlen. Felly, gadewch i mi roi'r cyfle hwn i chi yn ystod Wythnos y Gofalwyr i roi'r addewid hwnnw na fydd unrhyw oedi. Yn fy marn i, nid yw 'Cyn gynted ag y gallwn ni' yn gysur i staff rheng flaen sydd wedi peryglu eu diogelwch eu hunain yn ystod y flwyddyn eithriadol ddiwethaf.
English: Can I thank Joyce Watson for that very important question? We have repeatedly and clearly relayed our concerns to the UK Government on state pension issues relating to women. I once again urge the DWP to resolve the historical underpayment of state pension to women as quickly as possible.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i Joyce Watson am y cwestiwn pwysig iawn yna? Rydym ni wedi cyfleu ein pryderon dro ar ôl tro ac yn glir i Lywodraeth y DU ynghylch materion pensiwn y wladwriaeth yn ymwneud â menywod. Unwaith eto, rwyf i'n annog yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau i ddatrys tandaliad hanesyddol pensiwn y wladwriaeth i fenywod cyn gynted â phosibl.
English: We know that the underpayment of the state pension to an estimated 200,000 married women has spanned more than 20 years, and it has particularly impacted women who had a poor state pension in their own right. They were entitled to claim 60 per cent state pension based on their husband's pension contributions. What is particularly scandalous about this error is that many of those women may not be able to claim the full amount that was underpaid to them. Women whose husbands retired before 2008 and hadn't applied to the DWP for an increase in their pensions will only be entitled to claim a 12-month backpayment. The UK Government, of course, is saying that they wrote to those women informing them of that rule change. However, like in the Women Against State Pension Inequality scandal, many women have said they did not receive that letter. And as a WASPI woman myself, I can tell you I didn't receive those claim letters either. First Minister, what assessment has the Welsh Government made about the impact of this significant underpayment on those women in Wales and, of course, that lost income to Wales?
Welsh: Rydym ni'n gwybod bod tandaliadau o ran pensiwn y wladwriaeth i ryw 200,000 o fenywod priod wedi mynd ymlaen am dros 20 mlynedd, ac mae wedi effeithio yn arbennig ar fenywod a oedd â phensiwn y wladwriaeth gwael yn eu hawl eu hunain. Roedd ganddyn nhw hawl i hawlio 60 y cant o bensiwn y wladwriaeth yn seiliedig ar gyfraniadau pensiwn eu gŵr. Yr hyn sy'n arbennig o warthus am y camgymeriad hwn yw efallai na fydd llawer o'r menywod hynny yn gallu hawlio'r swm llawn a gafodd ei dandalu iddyn nhw. Dim ond 12 mis o ôl-daliadau y bydd gan fenywod hawl iddyn nhw os oedd eu gwŷr wedi ymddeol cyn 2008 ac nad oedden nhw wedi gwneud cais i'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau am gynnydd i'w pensiwn. Mae Llywodraeth y DU, wrth gwrs, yn dweud ei bod wedi ysgrifennu at y menywod hynny yn rhoi gwybod iddyn nhw am y newid hwnnw i'r rheol. Fodd bynnag, fel yn sgandal Anghydraddoldeb Pensiwn Menywod yn Erbyn y Wladwriaeth, mae llawer o fenywod wedi dweud na wnaethon nhw dderbyn y llythyr hwnnw. A gan fy mod innau yn fenyw WASPI fy hun, gallaf ddweud wrthych na chefais i y llythyrau hawlio hynny ychwaith. Prif Weinidog, pa asesiad y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ei wneud ynghylch effaith y tandaliad sylweddol hwn ar y menywod hynny yng Nghymru ac, wrth gwrs, yr incwm a gollwyd i Gymru?
English: First Minister, I understand that the UK Government is fully committed and has ploughed a lot of money recently into making sure that women across the country who have been affected by these areas receive the money that they are rightly owed. Can the Minister provide an update on what steps the Welsh Government are taking to make sure that women across Wales are aware, particularly that vulnerable group of over-75s that you just mentioned? How are you reaching out to them to make sure that they know that this process is ongoing and that it isn't a scam? Are you as a Government working constructively with the UK Government to rectify the situation, using some of the things that you just suggested?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, rwyf i ar ddeall bod Llywodraeth y DU yn llwyr ymrwymedig a'i bod wedi buddsoddi llawer o arian yn ddiweddar i sicrhau bod menywod ledled y wlad y mae'r meysydd hyn wedi effeithio arnyn nhw yn cael yr arian sy'n ddyledus iddyn nhw, a hynny'n briodol. A all y Gweinidog roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am y camau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i sicrhau bod menywod ledled Cymru yn ymwybodol, yn enwedig y grŵp agored i niwed yna o bobl dros 75 oed yr ydych chi newydd eu crybwyll? Sut ydych chi'n estyn allan iddyn nhw i sicrhau eu bod yn gwybod bod y broses hon yn parhau ac nad sgam ydyw? A ydych chi fel Llywodraeth yn gweithio'n adeiladol gyda Llywodraeth y DU i unioni'r sefyllfa, gan ddefnyddio rhai o'r pethau yr ydych chi newydd eu hawgrymu?
English: Thank you very much, Llywydd, and may I first of all extend my congratulations to you once again, First Minister, on your election, and also to everyone in this Senedd? As the only Member of the Liberal Democrats, I look forward to working with you all. I'll ask the question in English.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd, ac a gaf i yn gyntaf jest ymestyn llongyfarchiadau ichi eto, Brif Weinidog, am gael eich ethol, a hefyd i bawb yn y Senedd? Fel yr unig Aelod o'r Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol, dwi'n edrych ymlaen at weithio efo chi i gyd, wrth gwrs. Gwnaf ofyn y cwestiwn yn Saesneg.
English: Thank you very much to Jane Dodds for what she said at the beginning, and huge congratulations to you, of course, as well, for asking your first question here at the Senedd this afternoon.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr i Jane Dodds am beth ddywedodd hi i ddechrau, a llongyfarchiadau mawr, wrth gwrs, i chi hefyd ac am roi y cwestiwn cyntaf yma ar lawr y Senedd y prynhawn yma.
English: Llywydd, this year, the violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence revenue budget has received an uplift of more than 8 per cent compared to the year before the pandemic. Over £0.5 million of this funding is directed towards strategic planning and direct delivery of activity for black, Asian and minority ethnic victims and survivors.
Welsh: Llywydd, eleni, mae'r gyllideb refeniw trais yn erbyn menywod, cam-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol wedi cael cynnydd o fwy nag 8 y cant o'i gymharu â'r flwyddyn cyn y pandemig. Mae dros £0.5 miliwn o'r arian hwn wedi ei gyfeirio at gynllunio strategol a darparu gweithgareddau yn uniongyrchol i ddioddefwyr a goroeswyr du, Asiaidd ac o leiafrifoedd ethnig.
English: Can I just follow that through with a focus on what's been happening in this COVID time? We all know that there's been a significant increase in the need for refuge places, in the need for services, and better, more focused responses to those women and children who are coming forward after these lockdown periods. I'm particularly interested to hear what issues and services will be targeted into rural areas, where we know that there are particular shortages of those effective responses and services. Thank you. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: A gaf i ddilyn hynna drwy ganolbwyntio ar yr hyn sydd wedi bod yn digwydd yn ystod y cyfnod COVID hwn? Rydym ni i gyd yn gwybod y bu cynnydd sylweddol i'r angen am leoedd lloches, yr angen am wasanaethau, ac ymatebion gwell a mwy penodol i'r menywod a'r plant hynny sy'n dod ymlaen ar ôl y cyfnodau cyfyngiadau symud hyn. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn clywed pa faterion a gwasanaethau fydd yn cael eu targedu i ardaloedd gwledig, lle yr ydym yn gwybod bod prinder penodol o'r ymatebion a'r gwasanaethau effeithiol hynny. Diolch. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
