English: Thank you very much, Vikki. First of all, I want to pay tribute to the excellent work that they do in the council in Rhondda. It's incredible, the way that people have taken the opportunity to learn the language, and it's good to see that 19 per cent are already receiving their education through the medium of Welsh. But, of course, over the next few years, we need to see an increase in those numbers too, and that is why we as a Government have provided enhanced capital funding to ensure that the schools are available to assist with those projects. There will be an expectation that RCT, over the next 10 years, will increase those numbers to around 27 per cent of the population. Of course, in order to do that, we must ensure that there is a pipeline of those younger children coming through, and that's why we're always focused initially on increasing the numbers attending nursery provision, so that then they follow that route to Welsh-medium education. I very much hope that we will see that increase. It is incredible to see that difference, and I'm very pleased that we as a Welsh Government have been able to provide that additional funding, and also increase capacity at Dolau school. There are some ideas too in terms of changing the category of Penderyn school so it becomes a Welsh-medium school too. So, I hope that this will all lead to a huge celebration in this area when the Eisteddfod comes in 2024.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Vikki. Dwi eisiau yn gyntaf talu teyrnged i'r gwaith arbennig maen nhw'n ei wneud yn y cyngor yn y Rhondda. Mae'n anhygoel, y ffordd mae pobl wedi cydio yn y gallu i ddysgu Cymraeg, ac mae'n dda i weld bod 19 y cant o blant eisoes yn dysgu trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Ond, wrth gwrs, yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf, mae'n rhaid inni weld cynnydd yn y niferoedd yna hefyd, a dyna pam rŷn ni wedi, fel Llywodraeth, rhoi mwy o arian cyfalaf i sicrhau bod yr ysgolion ar gael i helpu'r projectau yna. Bydd disgwyl i Rondda Cynon Taf yn ystod y 10 mlynedd nesaf gynyddu'r niferoedd yna i tua 27 y cant o'r boblogaeth. Wrth gwrs, i wneud hynny, mae'n rhaid inni sicrhau bod yna bibell yn dod o'r plant ieuengaf, a dyna pam rydym ni wastad yn canolbwyntio i ddechrau ar gynyddu'r niferoedd sy'n mynychu ysgolion meithrin fel eu bod nhw wedyn yn dilyn y llwybr i addysg Gymraeg. Dwi'n gobeithio y byddwn ni'n gweld y cynnydd yna. Mae e'n anhygoel i weld y gwahaniaeth yna a dwi'n falch iawn ein bod ni fel Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gallu rhoi'r arian ychwanegol yna a hefyd wedi cynyddu'r capasiti yn ysgol Dolau. Mae yna syniadau hefyd i gynyddu ac i newid categori ysgol Penderyn i fod yn ysgol Gymraeg. Felly, dwi'n gobeithio y bydd hwn i gyd yn arwain at ddathliad mawr yn yr ardal yna ar gyfer yr Eisteddfod yn 2024.
English: I'm sure the former head of Penderyn school will be very pleased to hear that news. Minister, what consideration have you given to establishing a digital fund for the Welsh language to support more use of everyday Welsh in the digital sphere? As you know, I'm eager to see everyday Welsh being normalised in day-to-day communication. It's a language for everyone, not just for some communities or some roles within the public sector, and, of course, the digital world is an increasingly important part of our daily lives. The Welsh Conservatives will include something of this kind in our manifesto to encourage, support and facilitate the use of Welsh online, and I hope you would agree with that idea.
Welsh: Siŵr o fod bydd cyn-bennaeth ysgol Penderyn yn falch iawn i glywed y newyddion yna. Weinidog, pa ystyriaeth ydych chi wedi ei rhoi i sefydlu cronfa Gymraeg ddigidol i gefnogi mwy o ddefnydd o Gymraeg bob dydd yn y gofod digidol? Fel y gwyddoch, rwy'n awyddus i weld Cymraeg bob dydd yn cael ei normaleiddio mewn sefyllfaoedd bob dydd. Mae hon yn iaith i bawb, nid dim ond i rai cymunedau neu rhai rolau yn y sector cyhoeddus, ac, wrth gwrs, mae'r byd digidol yn rhan gynyddol o'n bywyd bob dydd. Mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn mynd i gynnwys rhywbeth o'r fath yn ein maniffesto i annog a chefnogi hwyluso ei defnydd ar-lein, a gobeithio eich bod chi'n cytuno â'r syniad.
English: We not only agree, Suzy, but we have a programme for Welsh and technology that is already in place. I provided an update on this just before Christmas to show just how far we've gone with that technology plan. It's become quite clear during the pandemic that we need to understand that our society has moved to a great extent online, and we must acknowledge that we need to consider the Welsh language in those discussions as to how we communicate online. That's why we've been pushing Microsoft, for example, to see if they can do more to ensure that we can use the Welsh language on Teams. They have now said that they are eager to see those developments, and we hope that will be delivered in the autumn. They've taken a while, but we do hope that we will now see a difference in that area.
Welsh: Dŷn ni ddim jest yn cytuno â'r syniad, Suzy; mae gyda ni raglen Cymraeg a thechnoleg sydd eisoes wedi dechrau. Mi wnes i roi update ar hwn jest cyn y Nadolig, i ddangos pa mor bell rŷn ni wedi mynd gyda'r cynllun technoleg yna. Mae'n gwbl amlwg yn ystod y pandemig bod angen inni ddeall bod ein cymdeithas ni wedi symud i raddau helaeth ar-lein a bod yn rhaid inni gydnabod bod angen inni ystyried y Gymraeg yn y trafodaethau yna ynglŷn â sut rŷn ni'n cyfathrebu ar-lein. Dyna pam rydym ni wedi bod yn gwthio Microsoft, er enghraifft, i weld os gallan nhw wneud mwy i sicrhau y gallwn ni ddefnyddio Cymraeg ar Teams. Maen nhw wedi dweud nawr eu bod nhw'n awyddus i weld hynny'n digwydd, ac rydym ni'n gobeithio y bydd hynny'n cael ei gyflwyno efallai yn yr hydref. Maen nhw wedi cymryd sbel, ond rydym ni'n gobeithio nawr y byddwn ni'n gweld gwahaniaeth yn y maes yna.
English: During the pandemic, we've worked very closely with area planning boards and other partners. Thanks to the excellent efforts of our substance misuse services on the front line, as well as other services, we have provided additional guidance and support, including new treatment options and funding to meet the complex needs of this group.
Welsh: Yn ystod y pandemig, rŷn wedi gweithio'n agos iawn gyda byrddau cynllunio ardal a phartneriaid eraill. Diolch i ymdrechion rhagorol ein gwasanaethau camddefnyddio sylweddau sydd yn y rheng flaen, a gwasanaethau eraill, rŷn wedi rhoi rhagor o arweiniad a chymorth, gan gynnwys cynnig opsiynau newydd o ran triniaeth a darparu cyllid i ddiwallu anghenion cymhleth y grŵp yma.
English: Organisations like Kaleidoscope, working as part of the Gwent drug and alcohol project, are concerned at the difficulties in ensuring good vaccination take-up amongst service users. Their front-line workers have very strong relationships of trust with those service users. They're in regular contact with them and understand the difficulties of chaotic lifestyles. Minister, would you agree that those front-line workers are well placed to actually deliver the vaccinations, given their own training and backgrounds and willingness to undergo any additional training that may be necessary? Allowing them to do that would be one way of ensuring good take-up of vaccine amongst this very vulnerable group.
Welsh: Mae sefydliadau fel Kaleidoscope, sy'n gweithio fel rhan o brosiect cyffuriau ac alcohol Gwent, yn pryderu am yr anawsterau i sicrhau bod nifer dda o ddefnyddwyr gwasanaethau'n manteisio ar frechiadau. Mae gan eu gweithwyr rheng flaen berthynas gref iawn o ymddiriedaeth â'r defnyddwyr gwasanaeth hynny. Maent mewn cysylltiad rheolaidd â hwy ac yn deall anawsterau ffyrdd o fyw cythryblus. Weinidog, a fyddech yn cytuno bod y gweithwyr rheng flaen hynny mewn sefyllfa dda i ddarparu'r brechiadau mewn gwirionedd, o ystyried eu hyfforddiant a'u cefndiroedd a'u parodrwydd i gyflawni unrhyw hyfforddiant ychwanegol a allai fod yn angenrheidiol? Byddai caniatáu iddynt wneud hynny yn un ffordd o sicrhau bod y grŵp hwn sy'n agored iawn i niwed yn manteisio ar y brechlyn.
English: Thanks for your support and your interest in this very sensitive area. I was really pleased to meet with the Developing a Caring Wales group, and, of course, Kaleidoscope was there as a part of that representation of people looking after people in these very difficult situations. I heard in that meeting of their offer that they would like to make in terms of offering to vaccinate some of the most fragile people within our communities, with whom, as you say, there is a degree of trust that's been built up. I'm pleased to say that I did pass that information on to our vaccination team. Also, just in terms of the other priority groups, you will see today that we are going to issue new guidance - it has just been published, at 3 o'clock - in terms of people with serious mental health conditions. I think there will be people within the scope of the people who work with Kaleidoscope who maybe will come into that category. We've asked the health boards to make sure that they work with the third sector, with organisations like Kaleidoscope, to make sure that we can reach out to these more vulnerable groups who perhaps are not the kind of people who would go into a normal system.
Welsh: Diolch am eich cefnogaeth a'ch diddordeb yn y maes sensitif iawn hwn. Roeddwn yn falch iawn o gyfarfod â grŵp Datblygu Cymru Ofalgar, ac wrth gwrs, roedd Kaleidoscope yno fel rhan o'r gynrychiolaeth honno o bobl sy'n gofalu am bobl yn y sefyllfaoedd anodd iawn hyn. Yn y cyfarfod hwnnw, clywais am y cynnig y byddent yn hoffi ei wneud o ran cynnig brechu rhai o'r bobl fwyaf bregus yn ein cymunedau y maent wedi meithrin rhywfaint o ymddiriedaeth gyda hwy, fel y dywedwch. Rwy'n falch o ddweud fy mod wedi trosglwyddo'r wybodaeth honno i'n tîm brechu. Hefyd, o ran y grwpiau blaenoriaeth eraill, fe welwch heddiw ein bod yn bwriadu cyhoeddi canllawiau newydd - mae newydd gael ei gyhoeddi, am 3 o'r gloch - mewn perthynas â phobl â chyflyrau iechyd meddwl difrifol. Credaf y bydd rhai sy'n ymwneud â'r bobl sy'n gweithio gyda Kaleidoscope yn y categori hwnnw o bosibl. Rydym wedi gofyn i'r byrddau iechyd sicrhau eu bod yn gweithio gyda'r trydydd sector, gyda sefydliadau fel Kaleidoscope, i sicrhau y gallwn gyrraedd y grwpiau mwy agored i niwed hyn na fyddent, efallai, yn dod i gysylltiad â'r system arferol.
English: We've ensured that mental health services are essential services during the pandemic and have invested in a range of approaches to improve support. Preventing suicide is a complex issue and requires a multi-agency approach. We have strengthened arrangements, therefore, to improve the co-ordination of actions with partners including police, local authorities and the third sector.
Welsh: Rydym wedi sicrhau bod gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl yn wasanaethau hanfodol yn ystod y pandemig ac wedi buddsoddi mewn amrywiol ddulliau er mwyn gwella cymorth. Mae atal hunanladdiad yn fater cymhleth ac mae'n galw am ymateb amlasiantaeth. Rydym wedi cryfhau trefniadau, felly, i wella'r ffordd y mae camau gweithredu'n cael eu cydlynu gyda'n partneriaid, gan gynnwys yr heddlu, awdurdodau lleol a'r trydydd sector.
English: This is an extremely difficult and sensitive subject, as anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide will know, but I feel it is important that we talk about it so that we can be sure that everything can be done to prevent deaths. The issue came home to me last week after watching an ITV news report that included an interview with the leader of RCT council. He said that the suicide rate had doubled in the area during the pandemic, and I've heard concerning stories across Wales. The situation was already concerning before COVID, with Office for National Statistics data showing that suicides were at their highest for 20 years in the latest year for which data are available, which is 2019. The Welsh Government does have a suicide and self-harm prevention strategy, which is very welcome of course, but could you give me some more detail, Minister, about how the effects of the pandemic have been taken into account in delivering this service, and will you please set out the support that is currently available for people who are suffering from depression during the lockdown so that people can know where to turn to for help?
Welsh: Mae hwn yn bwnc eithriadol o anodd a sensitif, fel y gŵyr pawb sydd wedi colli anwyliaid i hunanladdiad, ond teimlaf ei bod yn bwysig inni siarad amdano fel y gallwn fod yn siŵr y gellir gwneud popeth i atal marwolaethau. Tynnwyd fy sylw at y mater yr wythnos ddiwethaf ar ôl gwylio adroddiad newyddion ITV a oedd yn cynnwys cyfweliad ag arweinydd cyngor RhCT. Dywedodd fod y gyfradd hunanladdiad wedi dyblu yn yr ardal yn ystod y pandemig, ac rwyf wedi clywed straeon pryderus ledled Cymru. Roedd y sefyllfa eisoes yn peri pryder cyn COVID, gyda data'r Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol yn dangos bod hunanladdiadau ar eu huchaf ers 20 mlynedd yn y flwyddyn ddiweddaraf y mae data ar gael ar ei chyfer, sef 2019. Mae gan Lywodraeth Cymru strategaeth atal hunanladdiad a hunan-niweidio, sydd i'w chroesawu'n fawr wrth gwrs, ond a allech chi roi mwy o fanylion i mi, Weinidog, ynglŷn â sut y mae effeithiau'r pandemig wedi cael eu hystyried wrth ddarparu'r gwasanaeth hwn, ac a wnewch chi nodi'r cymorth sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd i bobl sy'n dioddef o iselder yn ystod y cyfyngiadau symud fel y gall pobl wybod ble y gallant gael cymorth?
English: We have been able, with some additional funding, to appoint a national suicide prevention co-ordinator, and we've now got three regional co-ordinators to make sure we strengthen that partnership working. It's a very odd situation, because one of the things that we've tried to do is to make sure that we follow real-time information. Suicide is a really difficult area, because actually you have to wait until there's an inquest to get a formal understanding of what exactly has happened. That provides us with a problem, but rather than waiting for that to happen, we've got now these organisations, including the police, making sure they've fed into this task and finish group with us and the police to make sure we understand what's going on on the ground. I guess one of the heartening things is that The BMJ recently published a report to say there wasn't any evidence of a consistent increase in suicide rates during the early stages of the pandemic. So, that's the picture that they've seen, and of course, we'll just keep an eye on what's happening within this space, because of course, this is the most tragic situation and we have to do everything we can to make sure that we're assessing that. Health boards are required to report unexpected deaths of patients within 24 hours, and there's an expectation that there's going to be an investigation within 60 days, so that real-time issue is something that we're keeping an eye on.
Welsh: Gydag arian ychwanegol, rydym wedi gallu penodi cydlynydd atal hunanladdiad cenedlaethol, ac erbyn hyn mae gennym dri chydlynydd rhanbarthol i sicrhau ein bod yn cryfhau'r gwaith partneriaeth hwnnw. Mae'n sefyllfa ryfedd iawn, oherwydd un o'r pethau rydym wedi ceisio'i wneud yw sicrhau ein bod yn dilyn gwybodaeth amser real. Mae hunanladdiad yn faes anodd iawn, oherwydd mewn gwirionedd mae'n rhaid i chi aros nes bod cwest i gael dealltwriaeth ffurfiol o beth yn union sydd wedi digwydd. Mae hynny'n creu problem i ni, ond yn hytrach nag aros i hynny ddigwydd, mae gennym bellach y sefydliadau hyn, gan gynnwys yr heddlu, i sicrhau eu bod wedi bwydo i mewn i waith y grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen gyda ni a'r heddlu i wneud yn siŵr ein bod yn deall beth sy'n digwydd ar lawr gwlad. Rwy'n dyfalu mai un o'r pethau calonogol yw bod The BMJ wedi cyhoeddi adroddiad yn ddiweddar i ddweud nad oedd unrhyw dystiolaeth o gynnydd cyson mewn cyfraddau hunanladdiad yn ystod camau cynnar y pandemig. Felly, dyna'r darlun y maent hwy wedi'i weld, ac wrth gwrs, byddwn yn cadw llygad ar yr hyn sy'n digwydd yn y gofod hwn, oherwydd wrth gwrs, dyma'r sefyllfa fwyaf trasig ac mae'n rhaid inni wneud popeth yn ein gallu i sicrhau ein bod yn asesu hynny. Mae'n ofynnol i fyrddau iechyd roi gwybod am farwolaethau annisgwyl cleifion o fewn 24 awr, ac mae disgwyl y bydd ymchwiliad o fewn 60 diwrnod, felly mae'r elfen amser real yn rhywbeth rydym yn cadw llygad arni.
English: We take the health and well-being of our workforce extremely seriously and encourage employers to provide a range of extra support during the pandemic. We are monitoring the impact closely and working with partners to provide immediate additional help to respond to people's changing mental health needs.
Welsh: Rydym yn ystyried bod iechyd a llesiant ein gweithlu yn hollbwysig ac yn annog cyflogwyr i ddarparu ystod o gymorth ychwanegol yn ystod y pandemig. Rydym yn monitro'r effaith yn ofalus ac yn gweithio gyda phartneriaid i ddarparu cymorth ychwanegol ar unwaith i ymateb i anghenion iechyd meddwl newidiol pobl.
English: I've listened with interest to your comments to I think it was Jayne Bryant and to David Melding. It's all about mental health and how we can keep our eyes open for people who are suffering. You will know as well as I do that organisations such as Mind have done endless surveys that show that public sector workers suffer disproportionately, take more time off work, and have greater mental health issues across the whole of Wales. I've had a number of e-mails from public sector workers in Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire just saying how hard they're finding it to manage lockdown, to cope with it, like so many of us. I just wondered are there any programmes that we can put in place or are there any ways of Welsh Government being able to encourage public sector organisations to be able to really try to reach out to those who are working on their own, isolated at home or perhaps in a very busy home where they're finding it very difficult to do their jobs because of all the noise around them. They may have young children at home who aren't at school and the whole situation is getting to them. Because if you have a person in front of you or in the office just next door, you can have a much better feel for how they might be. It's very difficult to tell when you're on a Zoom call to somebody once a week. Is there anything the Welsh Government can proactively do to help public sector employers really look after those employees?
Welsh: Rwyf wedi gwrando gyda diddordeb ar eich sylwadau wrth ateb Jayne Bryant a David Melding, rwy'n credu. Mae'n ymwneud ag iechyd meddwl a sut y gallwn gadw ein llygaid ar agor am bobl sy'n dioddef. Fe wyddoch gystal â mi fod sefydliadau fel Mind wedi cynnal arolygon diddiwedd sy'n dangos bod gweithwyr y sector cyhoeddus yn dioddef yn anghymesur, yn cymryd mwy o amser i ffwrdd o'r gwaith, a bod ganddynt fwy o broblemau iechyd meddwl, a hynny ledled Cymru. Rwyf wedi cael nifer o negeseuon e-bost gan weithwyr y sector cyhoeddus yng Ngorllewin Caerfyrddin a De Sir Benfro yn dweud pa mor anodd yw hi i ddod i ben yn ystod cyfyngiadau symud, i ymdopi â hwy, fel cynifer ohonom. Roeddwn yn meddwl tybed a oes unrhyw raglenni y gallwn eu rhoi ar waith neu a oes unrhyw ffyrdd y gall Llywodraeth Cymru annog sefydliadau'r sector cyhoeddus i geisio cyrraedd y rhai sy'n gweithio ar eu pen eu hunain, wedi'u hynysu gartref neu efallai mewn cartref prysur iawn lle maent yn ei chael hi'n anodd iawn gwneud eu gwaith oherwydd yr holl sŵn o'u cwmpas. Efallai fod ganddynt blant ifanc gartref nad ydynt yn yr ysgol a bod y sefyllfa yn mynd yn drech na hwy. Oherwydd os oes gennych berson o'ch blaen neu yn y swyddfa drws nesaf, gallwch gael syniad llawer gwell o sut y maent yn teimlo. Mae'n anodd iawn dweud pan fyddwch ar alwad Zoom gyda rhywun unwaith yr wythnos. A oes unrhyw beth y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud yn rhagweithiol i helpu cyflogwyr y sector cyhoeddus i ofalu am y gweithwyr hynny?
English: Absolutely. I won't dwell on help for health professionals, because that's a specific programme we've got in place, but we do have Healthy Working Wales, of course, which is a programme that lots of public sector organisations have already signed up to. I know all seven of the health boards and the Welsh Government have signed up to this, and many local authorities, including Dyfed-Powys Police. So, there are lots of organisations that have already signed up to that. What's happened is that there's been strengthened advice within that programme in order to understand the new context of the pandemic. What is important also is that there are a number of programmes and organisations in the Hywel Dda area that are able to help in this space. We've got lots of different programmes, including the healthy and active fund. If we can get people to understand the link between mental health and physical activity, I think that is really important that we encourage people to do that, and I know that there are projects across west Wales that are helpful in that sense. So, there are plenty of places people can go for advice. The first thing to do, I think, is to go to the websites of the health boards. We've asked them now to update their advice on those to make those much more accessible, much easier to read, and every one of the health boards has now done that. That should be easier for people to access now and they should get that local advice that may be suitable for their area.
Welsh: Yn sicr. Nid wyf am sôn am gymorth i weithwyr iechyd proffesiynol, oherwydd mae honno'n rhaglen benodol sydd gennym ar waith, ond mae gennym Cymru Iach ar Waith, wrth gwrs, sy'n rhaglen y mae llawer o sefydliadau'r sector cyhoeddus eisoes wedi ymrwymo iddi. Rwy'n gwybod bod pob un o'r saith bwrdd iechyd a Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i hyn, a llawer o awdurdodau lleol, gan gynnwys Heddlu Dyfed-Powys. Felly, mae llawer o sefydliadau eisoes wedi ymrwymo i honno. Cafwyd cyngor cryfach o fewn y rhaglen honno er mwyn deall cyd-destun newydd y pandemig. Yr hyn sy'n bwysig hefyd yw bod nifer o raglenni a sefydliadau yn ardal Hywel Dda yn gallu helpu yn hyn o beth. Mae gennym lawer o wahanol raglenni, gan gynnwys y gronfa iach ac egnïol. Os gallwn gael pobl i ddeall y cysylltiad rhwng iechyd meddwl a gweithgarwch corfforol, credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn inni annog pobl i wneud hynny, a gwn fod prosiectau ar draws y gorllewin Cymru'n ddefnyddiol yn yr ystyr honno. Felly, mae digon o leoedd y gall pobl fynd i gael cyngor. Y peth cyntaf i'w wneud, rwy'n credu, yw mynd ar wefannau'r byrddau iechyd. Rydym bellach wedi gofyn iddynt ddiweddaru eu cyngor ar y rheini i'w gwneud yn llawer mwy hygyrch, yn llawer haws i'w darllen, ac mae pob un o'r byrddau iechyd bellach wedi gwneud hynny. Dylai fod yn haws i bobl eu defnyddio yn awr a dylent gael y cyngor lleol a allai fod yn addas ar gyfer eu hardal.
English: I am fully aware of the pressure on the industry in Anglesey and I very much appreciate the relationship between ourselves as a Government and the local authority in Ynys Môn, under a strong leadership there. I'm pleased to say that we are continuing to seek ways of collaborating and also of securing adequate funding from the UK Government.
Welsh: Dwi'n ymwybodol o'r sefyllfa a'r pwysau sydd ar y diwydiant yn Ynys Môn. Dwi hefyd yn gwerthfawrogi'n fawr y berthynas sydd rhyngom ni fel Llywodraeth a llywodraeth leol Ynys Môn dan arweiniad cadarn, fel y mae o, ac mae'n dda gen i ddweud ein bod ni'n parhau i chwilio am ffyrdd o gydweithio a hefyd o geisio cyllid digonol yn ychwanegol gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig.
