English: I know the committee has had concerns about the number of recommendations that were rejected, so I'd like to use this opportunity to expand on the reasons why and also to reassure Members that it's not because I necessarily disagree with the findings. Recommendation 1 asks for a new national approach for participation in sport and physical activity in disadvantaged areas. I am not convinced that a new, wholesale approach is required. The reason for that is that Sport Wales's vision and strategy for sport in Wales was, and continues to be, developed by the sector through an extensive consultation. One of the many important strands in the vision is to ensure that sport is accessible, inclusive and affordable, leaving no-one behind. This underpins a key message in the strategy, which is that every young person has the skills, confidence and motivation to enable them to enjoy and progress through sport, giving them foundations to lead an active, healthy and enriched life. I've also made it clear to Sport Wales in their remit letter that I expect them to ensure the broadest range of vulnerable groups can engage with sport and physical activity and are not excluded from participation. This should include identifying and delivering specific opportunities that enable people in vulnerable or disadvantaged groups and those in underrepresented communities to benefit from sport and physical activity. Sport Wales, through its annual business plan, has responded positively to these objectives in the remit letter and it is right that they should be given the opportunity and the time to deliver against it. To respond to your points specifically, Tom Giffard, I do meet regularly with Sport Wales for updates and to review progress, and I will continue to do that. Although not a specific recommendation in the report, there has been mention made about adverse health conditions, and I think it's probably worth mentioning that the Welsh Government has committed to developing a national framework that enables delivery of social prescribing in Wales that is of a consistent, effective and high-quality standard. Sport and physical activity play a central part in delivering those goals, and that is predominantly in most of our deprived areas. In short, and I think as was acknowledged by Delyth Jewell, there is much good work going on already to address participation in disadvantaged areas, underpinned by the clear vision and strategy for sport in Wales, which, as I've said, came directly from the sector. A different approach now risks undermining the progress that has already been made. Several of the recommendations touched on funding, and it's worth pointing out that the majority of Welsh Government funding for sport is of course channelled through Sport Wales. I expect them to use their funding, and the funding that they receive via the National Lottery, to deliver the objectives set out in the term of Government remit letter, but it is also about the effective use of funding that is allocated to them. It's worth repeating that we intend to invest more than £75 million over the next three years for Sport Wales to deliver those aims and objectives. This is in addition to support through other Welsh Government funding programmes, such as sustainable communities for learning and the community facilities programme, which were mentioned by Carolyn Thomas. We're also investing over £13 million in a range of programmes across 2022-24 as part of our delivery plan for our Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales strategy. But of course, funding isn't solely a Welsh Government responsibility - sources such as the National Lottery, prize money from major tournaments and local authority budgets also have a role to play in providing support for disadvantaged communities. I have to acknowledge, as Heledd Fychan and others have pointed out, that there is a wider issue around deprivation that cannot be met by sporting investment alone. It is important that there is a whole-Government approach to tackling poverty and deprivation. Of course, we all know that we have been off the back of 10 years of austerity, we are in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis and we are doing what we can as a Welsh Government, but the key levers to addressing some of those key factors are with the UK Government, and not with the Welsh Government.

Welsh: Rwy'n gwybod bod y pwyllgor wedi cael pryderon ynghylch nifer yr argymhellion a gafodd eu gwrthod, felly hoffwn ddefnyddio'r cyfle hwn i ehangu ar y rhesymau pam a hefyd i dawelu meddyliau'r Aelodau nad oherwydd fy mod o reidrwydd yn anghytuno â'r canfyddiadau y gwneuthum eu gwrthod. Mae argymhelliad 1 yn gofyn am ddull cenedlaethol newydd o gymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon a gweithgarwch corfforol mewn ardaloedd difreintiedig. Nid wyf wedi fy argyhoeddi bod angen dull cwbl newydd. Y rheswm am hynny yw bod gweledigaeth a strategaeth Chwaraeon Cymru ar gyfer chwaraeon yng Nghymru, yn arfer bod, ac yn parhau i fod, yn cael eu datblygu gan y sector drwy ymgynghori eang. Un o'r elfennau pwysig niferus yn y weledigaeth yw sicrhau bod chwaraeon yn hygyrch, yn gynhwysol ac yn fforddiadwy, gan adael neb ar ôl. Dyma sail i neges allweddol yn y strategaeth, sef bod gan bob person ifanc sgiliau, hyder a chymhelliant i'w galluogi i fwynhau a symud ymlaen drwy chwaraeon, gan roi sylfeini iddynt fyw bywyd egnïol, iach a chyfoethog. Rwyf hefyd wedi egluro i Chwaraeon Cymru yn eu llythyr cylch gwaith fy mod yn disgwyl iddynt sicrhau bod yr ystod ehangaf o grwpiau agored i niwed yn gallu cymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon a gweithgarwch corfforol ac nad ydynt yn cael eu heithrio rhag cymryd rhan. Dylai hyn gynnwys nodi a chyflwyno cyfleoedd penodol sy'n galluogi pobl mewn grwpiau sy'n agored i niwed neu dan anfantais a'r rhai mewn cymunedau heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol i elwa ar chwaraeon a gweithgarwch corfforol. Mae Chwaraeon Cymru, drwy ei gynllun busnes blynyddol, wedi ymateb yn gadarnhaol i'r amcanion hyn yn y llythyr cylch gwaith ac mae'n briodol y dylid rhoi cyfle ac amser iddynt gyflawni'r amcanion hynny. I ymateb i'ch pwyntiau chi yn benodol, Tom Giffard, rwy'n cyfarfod yn rheolaidd â Chwaraeon Cymru i gael diweddariadau ac i adolygu cynnydd, a byddaf yn parhau i wneud hynny. Er nad yw'n argymhelliad penodol yn yr adroddiad, soniwyd am gyflyrau iechyd andwyol, ac rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n werth crybwyll mae'n debyg fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i ddatblygu fframwaith cenedlaethol sy'n ei gwneud hi'n bosibl darparu presgripsiynu cymdeithasol yng Nghymru sydd o safon gyson, effeithiol ac uchel. Mae chwaraeon a gweithgarwch corfforol yn chwarae rhan ganolog yn y gwaith o gyflawni'r nodau hynny, a hynny'n bennaf yn y rhan fwyaf o'n hardaloedd difreintiedig. Yn fyr, ac rwy'n credu bod Delyth Jewell wedi cydnabod hyn, mae llawer o waith da yn digwydd eisoes i fynd i'r afael â niferoedd sy'n cymryd rhan mewn ardaloedd difreintiedig, wedi'i ategu gan y weledigaeth a'r strategaeth glir ar gyfer chwaraeon yng Nghymru, a ddaeth, fel y dywedais, yn uniongyrchol o'r sector. Mae cyflwyno dull gwahanol nawr yn creu perygl o danseilio'r cynnydd a wnaed eisoes. Fe wnaeth nifer o'r argymhellion grybwyll ariannu, ac mae'n werth nodi bod y rhan fwyaf o arian Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer chwaraeon yn cael ei sianelu drwy Chwaraeon Cymru wrth gwrs. Rwy'n disgwyl iddynt ddefnyddio eu cyllid, a'r cyllid y maent yn ei gael drwy'r Loteri Genedlaethol, i gyflawni'r amcanion a nodir yn llythyr cylch gwaith y Llywodraeth, ond mae hefyd yn ymwneud â'r defnydd effeithiol o gyllid sy'n cael ei ddyrannu iddynt. Mae'n werth ailadrodd ein bod yn bwriadu buddsoddi mwy na £75 miliwn dros y tair blynedd nesaf i Chwaraeon Cymru gyflawni'r nodau a'r amcanion hynny. Daw hyn ar ben y cymorth a ddaw drwy raglenni ariannu eraill Llywodraeth Cymru, megis cymunedau cynaliadwy ar gyfer dysgu a'r rhaglen cyfleusterau cymunedol, a gafodd eu crybwyll gan Carolyn Thomas. Rydym hefyd yn buddsoddi dros £13 miliwn mewn ystod o raglenni ar draws 2022-24 fel rhan o'n cynllun cyflawni ar gyfer ein strategaeth Pwysau Iach: Cymru Iach. Ond wrth gwrs, nid cyfrifoldeb Llywodraeth Cymru yn unig yw cyllid - mae gan ffynonellau fel y Loteri Genedlaethol, gwobrau ariannol pencampwriaethau mawr a chyllidebau awdurdodau lleol ran i'w chwarae hefyd yn darparu cymorth i gymunedau difreintiedig. Mae'n rhaid imi gydnabod, fel y mae Heledd Fychan ac eraill wedi nodi, fod yna broblem ehangach gydag amddifadedd na ellir ei datrys drwy fuddsoddi mewn chwaraeon yn unig. Mae'n bwysig fod yna ddull Llywodraeth gyfan o fynd i'r afael â thlodi ac amddifadedd. Wrth gwrs, rydym i gyd yn gwybod ein bod newydd gael 10 mlynedd o gyni, ein bod ynghanol argyfwng costau byw a'n bod yn gwneud yr hyn a allwn fel Llywodraeth Cymru, ond mae'r ysgogiadau allweddol i fynd i'r afael â rhai o'r ffactorau allweddol hynny yn nwylo Llywodraeth y DU, nid Llywodraeth Cymru. Fe wnaeth y pwyllgor -
