English: Well, it was very helpful, when we met with the future generations commissioner, that she looked at very practical examples of, for example, the preventative agenda, and pointed to the integrated care fund, as part of that, fitting very well into the aims of the future generations Act. But I just continue to say that, as a result of third sector engagement, we've got co-location of a third sector service, with the Vale Community Resource Service at Barry Hospital, and that results in the streamlining of referrals and social prescribing. Of course, those are the examples that we need to give, which also will help respond to the review. It is very important that we address the question of who pays for social care, and I was pleased that the Cabinet Secretary included Professor Gerry Holtham's proposal to explore a levy to support social care as part of the four new tax ideas. I hope that this will be pursued, even if it isn't a new tax option that will be tested with the UK Government. Gerry, of course, commented recently on this in the context of increased spending on the NHS and the pressures. The Cabinet Secretary made housing a priority in his draft budget plans, approved by the Assembly, of course, and in the draft budget, there was of course additional capital and revenue investment, including £20 million to tackle homelessness, and I do welcome the additional £10 million to target youth homelessness. Again, a clear priority of this Welsh Labour Government. This budget is about priorities and principles and I'd like to commend the finance Secretary on his approach to our new fiscal powers. It's good to learn that the impact of these new fiscal powers provides an additional £17 million revenue as a result of the permanent funding floor, and £30 million as a result of decisions taken with regard to income from devolved taxes. Capital spending will also receive a boost as a result of our extended borrowing powers and also, of course, we have that welcome capital injection announcement today. When we received evidence from the Office for Budgetary Responsibility director, Robert Chote, in the Finance Committee in December, he commented positively on the approach taken by the Welsh Government in setting the rates and bands of the new land transaction tax. Of course, following the announcement by the Cabinet Secretary that more homebuyers will benefit from his changes to land transaction tax, with people buying homes in Wales for less than £180,000 paying no tax under the changes to LTT and the taxes devolved in April, Robert Chote reflected on Wales nudging the system more in a progressive direction. This is consistent with the Cabinet Secretary's aim to make tax fairer and contribute to a more equal Wales, and I welcome this evidence of putting principles into practice with our important new tax fiscal powers in Wales. So, I want to finish by adding to the statements made by the Cabinet Secretary and colleagues today on the fiscal impacts of austerity. It's disabled people, single parents and women who've been amongst the biggest losers under seven years of austerity. And since the coalition Government imposed austerity in 2010, of course, we resisted those very early cuts, but those cuts have risen to over £1 billion over the past eight years. This Welsh Government has provided a shield in Wales to mitigate against austerity and the cuts. So, the Cabinet Secretary has unveiled a new budget for Wales, reflecting the Welsh Government's new tax and borrowing powers. He's using these new powers to deliver the priorities that will benefit health, social care, education and housing, and underpin the economy in a fair and robust way, and I commend this budget.
Welsh: Wel, roedd hi'n ddefnyddiol iawn, pan gawsom ni gyfarfod gyda chomisiynydd cenedlaethau'r dyfodol, ei bod hi wedi edrych ar enghreifftiau ymarferol iawn o, er enghraifft, yr agenda ataliol, a thynnu sylw at y ffaith bod y gronfa gofal integredig, yn rhan o hynny, yn gweddu'n dda iawn i nodau Deddf cenedlaethau'r dyfodol. Ond rwy'n parhau i ddweud, o ganlyniad i ymgysylltiad y trydydd sector, mae gennym ni wasanaeth trydydd sector sy'n rhannu lleoliad gyda Gwasanaeth Adnoddau Cymunedol y Fro yn Ysbyty'r Barri, ac mae hynny'n arwain at symleiddio atgyfeiriadau a rhagnodi cymdeithasol. Wrth gwrs, dyma'r enghreifftiau y mae angen inni eu rhoi, a fydd hefyd yn helpu i ymateb i'r adolygiad. Mae'n bwysig iawn inni roi sylw i'r cwestiwn o bwy sy'n talu am ofal cymdeithasol, ac roeddwn yn falch fod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn cynnwys cynnig yr Athro Gerry Holtham i archwilio'r posibilrwydd o gael ardoll i gefnogi gofal cymdeithasol yn rhan o'r pedwar syniad treth newydd. Gobeithiaf yr eir ar drywydd hyn, hyd yn oed os nad yw'n opsiwn treth newydd fydd yn cael ei brofi gyda Llywodraeth y DU. Soniodd Gerry, wrth gwrs, yn ddiweddar am hyn yng nghyd-destun gwariant cynyddol ar y GIG a'r pwysau. Roedd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi gwneud tai yn flaenoriaeth yn ei gynlluniau cyllideb drafft, a gymeradwywyd gan y Cynulliad, wrth gwrs. Ac yn y gyllideb ddrafft, roedd cyfalaf ychwanegol a buddsoddiad refeniw wrth gwrs, gan gynnwys £20 miliwn i fynd i'r afael â digartrefedd, ac rwy'n croesawu'r £10 miliwn ychwanegol i dargedu digartrefedd ymysg pobl ifanc. Unwaith eto, blaenoriaeth glir Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru. Mae'r gyllideb hon yn ymwneud â blaenoriaethau ac egwyddorion ac fi hoffwn i ganmol yr Ysgrifennydd Cyllid ynglŷn â sut yr aeth ati i ymdrin â'n pwerau cyllidol newydd. Mae'n braf dysgu y bydd effaith y pwerau cyllidol newydd hyn yn darparu refeniw ychwanegol o £17 miliwn o ganlyniad i arian gwaelodol parhaol, a £30 miliwn o ganlyniad i benderfyniadau a wneir o ran incwm o drethi datganoledig. Bydd gwariant cyfalaf hefyd yn cael hwb o ganlyniad i'n pwerau benthyca estynedig a hefyd, wrth gwrs, mae gennym ni'r cyhoeddiad derbyniol hwnnw heddiw ynglŷn â'r chwistrelliad cyfalaf. Pan gawsom ni dystiolaeth gan gyfarwyddwr y Swyddfa Cyfrifoldeb Cyllidebol, Robert Chote, yn y Pwyllgor Cyllid ym mis Rhagfyr, gwnaeth ef sylwadau cadarnhaol ynglŷn â sut yr aeth Llywodraeth Cymru ati i osod cyfraddau a bandiau'r dreth trafodiadau tir newydd. Wrth gwrs, yn dilyn y cyhoeddiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet y bydd mwy o brynwyr tai yn elwa o'i newidiadau i'r dreth trafodiadau tir gyda phobl sy'n prynu cartrefi yng Nghymru am lai na £180,000 yn talu dim treth o dan y newidiadau i'r dreth trafodiadau tir a'r trethi a ddatganolir ym mis Ebrill, soniodd Robert Chote am Gymru yn gwthio'r system i gyfeiriad mwy blaengar. Mae hyn yn gyson â nod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet i wneud treth yn decach a chyfrannu at Gymru sy'n fwy cyfartal, a chroesawaf y dystiolaeth hon o roi egwyddorion ar waith gyda'n pwerau cyllidol treth newydd pwysig yng Nghymru. Felly, fe hoffwn i orffen drwy ychwanegu at y datganiadau a wnaed gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet a chyd-Aelodau heddiw ar effeithiau cyllidol cyni. Pobl anabl, rhieni sengl a menywod sydd wedi bod ymhlith y rhai sydd fwyaf ar eu colled o dan saith mlynedd o gyni. Ac ers i'r Llywodraeth glymblaid orfodi cyni yn 2010, wrth gwrs, fe wnaethom ni wrthwynebu'r toriadau cynnar iawn hynny, ond mae'r toriadau hynny wedi cynyddu i dros £1 biliwn dros yr wyth mlynedd diwethaf. Mae Llywodraeth bresenol Cymru wedi codi tarian yng Nghymru i liniaru yn erbyn y cyni a'r toriadau. Felly, mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi cyhoeddi cyllideb newydd ar gyfer Cymru, sy'n adlewyrchu pwerau treth a benthyca newydd Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae'n defnyddio'r pwerau newydd hyn i gyflawni blaenoriaethau a fydd o fantais i iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol, addysg a thai, ac yn ategu'r economi mewn ffordd deg a chadarn, ac rwy'n cymeradwyo'r gyllideb hon.
