English: Thank you for the comments. Going back to the point about transport again, it's a significant issue to get right for both private hire and private transport, as well as public service transport, to the site, thinking about the needs of patients and their abilities and also access for emergency services. I expect that local Members who were engaged directly in their conversations with the health board - I know they briefed local Members; they're quite proactive, actually, in making sure that local Members are on board and understanding what is actually taking place. I also think as well that it was helpful to hear the wide-range of services that the Members actually reminded others will now take place on this new site when it is delivered. But it's important also to recognise that this is a project that's maintained support, not just within the clinical community, but other public services in Gwent too. So, it does enjoy the support, and continues to enjoy the support, of all the local authorities in the Gwent area. Regardless of where it is physically situated, there's been a recognition from those local authority partners that actually having a model that is a specialist care centre to deliver a proper model of care at this end is a good thing for all of the services around it. I'll look forward to seeing that delivered on by local authority partners, by the health service and other wider stakeholders as well.
Welsh: Diolch am y sylwadau. Gan fynd yn ôl at y pwynt am drafnidiaeth eto, mae'n fater o bwys i'w gael yn iawn ar gyfer hurio preifat a thrafnidiaeth breifat, yn ogystal â thrafnidiaeth gwasanaeth cyhoeddus, i'r safle, gan feddwl am anghenion cleifion a'u galluoedd a hefyd fynediad i wasanaethau brys. Rwy'n disgwyl bod Aelodau lleol oedd yn cymryd rhan yn uniongyrchol yn eu sgyrsiau gyda'r bwrdd iechyd - rwy'n gwybod eu bod wedi briffio Aelodau lleol; maen nhw'n eithaf rhagweithiol, mewn gwirionedd, yn gwneud yn siŵr bod Aelodau lleol yn cytuno ac yn deall yr hyn sy'n digwydd mewn gwirionedd. Rwyf hefyd yn meddwl ei bod yn ddefnyddiol i glywed yr ystod eang o wasanaethau yr oedd yr Aelodau yn atgoffa eraill fydd yn awr yn digwydd ar y safle newydd hwn pan gaiff ei gyflwyno. Ond mae'n bwysig cydnabod hefyd fod hwn yn brosiect sydd wedi cynnal cefnogaeth, nid yn unig o fewn y gymuned glinigol, ond gwasanaethau cyhoeddus eraill yng Ngwent hefyd. Felly, mae'n mwynhau cefnogaeth, ac yn parhau i fwynhau cefnogaeth, yr holl awdurdodau lleol yn ardal Gwent. Ni waeth ble mae wedi ei leoli yn gorfforol, cafwyd cydnabyddiaeth gan yr awdurdodau lleol partner hynny a fydd yn elwa ar gael model sy'n ganolfan gofal arbenigol i gyflwyno model priodol o ofal yn y pen hwn â'r holl wasanaethau o'i chwmpas. Byddaf yn edrych ymlaen at weld hynny'n cael ei gyflawni gan awdurdod lleol partner, gan y gwasanaeth iechyd a rhanddeiliaid ehangach eraill yn ogystal.
English: We move on to the statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children - 20,000 affordable homes target - and I call on Carl Sargeant to move the statement.
Welsh: Rydym yn symud ymlaen at y datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gymunedau a Phlant - y targed o 20,000 o gartrefi fforddiadwy - a galwaf ar Carl Sargeant i gynnig y datganiad.
English: Thank you for your statement, Cabinet Secretary. There are estimated to be approximately 20,000 homes standing empty in Wales. If you bring those back into use, you will have hit your target for the term. I acknowledge the spending pledge, but how much of this £1.3 billion will actually be spent on homes, and how much will go on admin and into the pockets of developers as profit? Regeneration and refurbishment schemes are better value for money, and create many more homes per pound. What is the Welsh Government going to do to regenerate and refurbish empty homes, and how is the Welsh Government proposing to help owners bring those properties back into use?
Welsh: Diolch i chi am eich datganiad, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Amcangyfrifir bod tua 20,000 o gartrefi yn sefyll yn wag yng Nghymru. Pe byddech yn dod â'r rhain yn ôl i ddefnydd, byddech yn cyrraedd eich targed ar gyfer y tymor. Rwy'n cydnabod yr addewid o ran gwariant, ond faint o'r £1.3 biliwn hwn mewn gwirionedd fydd yn cael ei wario ar gartrefi, a faint fydd yn cael ei wario ar weinyddu a faint fydd yn mynd i mewn i bocedi datblygwyr fel elw? Mae cynlluniau adfywio ac adnewyddu yn cynnig gwell gwerth am arian, ac yn creu llawer mwy o gartrefi fesul punt. Beth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd i'w wneud i adfywio ac adnewyddu cartrefi gwag, a sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu helpu perchnogion ddod â'r eiddo hynny yn ôl i ddefnydd?
English: I thank the Member for her question. Empty homes scheme - we have a very positive empty homes scheme, with over 6,000 units already having been brought back into use. There is a difficulty - and I agree with many Members in here - that sometimes empty homes can be a blight on the community and they're very, very valuable assets if we can bring them back up to standard. Often it's a cheaper way of providing a housing solution. So, we are very aware. We are committed to continuing a support scheme for local authorities to build and to renovate empty homes, but there are often many legal barriers that are attributed to moving into empty homes properties. But we are committed to doing that and they do provide a great solution in many areas, not just in regeneration, but in providing housing. So, it is something that we are very aware of and continue to provide support for.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am ei chwestiwn. Cynllun cartrefi gwag - mae gennym gynllun cartrefi gwag cadarnhaol iawn, gyda dros 6,000 o unedau eisoes wedi eu dwyn yn ôl i ddefnydd. Mae anhawster - ac rwy'n cytuno â llawer o Aelodau yma - weithiau gall tai gwag fod yn falltod ar y gymuned ac maen nhw'n asedau gwerthfawr iawn, iawn os gallwn ni ddod â hwy yn ôl i fyny i'r safon. Yn aml, mae'n ffordd ratach o ddarparu ateb tai. Felly, rydym yn ymwybodol iawn o hynny. Rydym wedi ymrwymo i barhau'r cynllun cymorth i awdurdodau lleol i adeiladu ac i adnewyddu tai gwag, ond yn aml mae llawer o rwystrau cyfreithiol sy'n cael eu priodoli i symud i dai gwag. Ond rydym wedi ymrwymo i wneud hynny ac maent yn cynnig ateb gwych mewn llawer o ardaloedd, nid yn unig ym maes adfywio, ond o ran darparu tai. Felly, mae'n rhywbeth yr ydym yn ymwybodol iawn ohono, ac yn parhau i ddarparu cefnogaeth ar ei gyfer.
English: Thank you very much. Suzy Davies, if you can be brief.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Suzy Davies, os gallwch fod yn gryno.
English: Diolch, Lywydd. Two questions, one of which is not unfamiliar to you. I mentioned in the last Assembly the possibility of you speaking to landlords in areas of oversupply of HMOs in order that they might be considering converting them into more permanent homes for one and two-bedroomed families, if I can call them that. I wonder if you could update me on progress on that. Secondly, Help to Buy: have you considered extending this to properties being brought back into use, rather than new build? Because, obviously, we have a large number of small builders within Wales, and some of those might be encouraged to take on apprentices if they had the kind of regular work that Help to Buy, in terms of restoring buildings rather than building new ones, might provide. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Dau gwestiwn, un ohonynt nad yw'n anghyfarwydd i chi. Soniais yn y Cynulliad diwethaf am y posibilrwydd i chi siarad â landlordiaid mewn ardaloedd o orgyflenwad o HMOs er mwyn iddynt allu ystyried eu trosi i mewn i gartrefi mwy parhaol ar gyfer teuluoedd un a dwy ystafell wely, os gallaf eu galw yn hynny. Tybed pe gallech roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf imi ar y cynnydd ar hynny. Yn ail, Cymorth i Brynu: a ydych chi wedi ystyried ymestyn hyn i eiddo sy'n cael ei ddwyn yn ôl i ddefnydd, yn hytrach nag adeiladu o'r newydd? Oherwydd, yn amlwg, mae gennym nifer fawr o adeiladwyr bach yng Nghymru, a gallai rhai o'r rheiny gael eu hannog i gymryd prentisiaid pe byddai ganddynt y math o waith rheolaidd y gallai Cymorth i Brynu ei ddarparu, o ran adfer adeiladau yn hytrach nag adeiladu rhai newydd. Diolch.
English: Thank you for those very brief questions. HMOs: I have not ruled out anything in terms of the opportunity to bring more stock back to the market. The opportunity is to ensure that we get best value for money and best value for our clients. So, the deal with HMOs, or the transferral from HMOs into housing associations, is something we could indeed talk about, but it has to be of value to us - to Government and to the public purse. In terms of Help to Buy, the issue with Help to Buy is not a problem with demand. The problem with Help to Buy is managing the fiscal responsibility around that, because, actually, we could open that pot. I think a previous Member who sat on your benches used to ask me on a regular basis if we could use Help to Buy on not new homes. It was a fiscal issue about managing the budgets that we have available for this scheme, and at the moment they are well subscribed - the Help to Buy situation - in terms of what we're delivering already. So, we don't think we need any more schemes to add to that to be able to spend the money on Help to Buy as it stands.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am y cwestiynau byr iawn hynny. HMOs: nid wyf wedi diystyru unrhyw beth o ran y cyfle i ddod â mwy o stoc yn ôl i'r farchnad. Y cyfle yw sicrhau ein bod yn cael y gwerth gorau am arian a'r gwerth gorau ar gyfer ein cleientiaid. Felly, mae'r fargen gyda HMOs, neu drosglwyddo o HMOs i gymdeithasau tai, yn rhywbeth y gallem yn wir ei thrafod, ond mae'n rhaid iddo fod o werth i ni - i'r Llywodraeth ac i bwrs y wlad. O ran Cymorth i Brynu, nid problem gyda galw yw'r broblem gyda Chymorth i Brynu. Y broblem gyda Chymorth i Brynu yw rheoli'r cyfrifoldeb ariannol ynghylch hynny, oherwydd, mewn gwirionedd, gallem agor y pot hwnnw. Rwy'n meddwl bod Aelod blaenorol a oedd yn eistedd ar eich meinciau yn arfer gofyn i mi yn rheolaidd pe gallem ddefnyddio Cymorth i Brynu ar gartrefi nad ydynt yn newydd. Roedd yn fater cyllidol yn ymwneud â rheoli'r cyllidebau sydd ar gael i ni ar gyfer y cynllun hwn, ac ar hyn o bryd tanysgrifir yn dda iddynt - y sefyllfa Cymorth i Brynu - o ran yr hyn yr ydym yn ei gyflenwi yn barod. Felly, nid ydym yn credu bod angen mwy o gynlluniau i ychwanegu at hynny i allu gwario'r arian ar Cymorth i Brynu fel ag y mae.
English: We move on to the next item on the agenda, which is the statement by the Minister for Lifelong Learning and Welsh Language on an update on the ministerial taskforce for the Valleys. I call on Alun Davies to move the statement. Alun.
Welsh: Symudwn ymlaen at yr eitem nesaf ar yr agenda, sef y datganiad gan Weinidog y Gymraeg a Dysgu Gydol Oes ar yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am y tasglu gweinidogol ar gyfer y Cymoedd. Galwaf ar Alun Davies i gynnig y datganiad. Alun.
English: I will make one comment: we received this statement just 10 minutes before Plenary. It's hardly a basis for good scrutiny and to make comments on this statement, but using a little bit of crystal ball gazing and some historical evidence, I would like to say, as a constituent of the Valleys, it saddens me that, yet again, we have to embrace a new 'Valleys' strategy. I put the word 'Valleys' in inverted commas as if the Valleys are, in some way, different from other - and again it pains me to say it - deprived areas of Wales. Peter Walker's Valleys initiative way back in 1988 began a saga of such targeted plans, followed by David Hunt's Valleys programme and several other such projects by the Labour Government itself, culminating of course in Labour's Heads of the Valleys programme, which seems now to have faded away. I therefore hope that this latest strategic initiative will not prove to be as bereft of real economic improvements as its predecessors. What is so different about this project that makes the Cabinet Secretary so convinced it will succeed where others have so patently failed, or will this prove, yet again, to be another costly publicity stunt?
Welsh: Byddaf yn gwneud un sylw: cawsom y datganiad hwn 10 munud cyn y Cyfarfod Llawn. Prin ei fod yn sail i graffu da ac i wneud sylwadau ar y datganiad hwn, ond gan ddefnyddio ychydig o broffwydo a rhywfaint o dystiolaeth hanesyddol, hoffwn ddweud, fel etholwr yn y Cymoedd, fy mod wedi fy nigalonni, unwaith eto, bod yn rhaid i ni ymgymryd â strategaeth 'Cymoedd' newydd. Rwy'n rhoi'r gair 'Cymoedd' mewn dyfynodau fel pe bai'r Cymoedd, mewn rhyw ffordd, yn wahanol - ac eto mae'n ofid imi ei dweud - i ardaloedd difreintiedig eraill yng Nghymru. Yn ôl ym 1988, fe wnaeth menter y Cymoedd gan Peter Walker ddechrau saga o gynlluniau tebyg wedi'u targedu. Yna cafwyd rhaglen y Cymoedd gan David Hunt a nifer o brosiectau tebyg eraill gan y Llywodraeth Lafur ei hun, gan arwain, wrth gwrs at raglen Llafur, Blaenau'r Cymoedd, sydd bellach, fe ymddengys, wedi diflannu. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio na fydd y fenter strategol ddiweddaraf hon yn profi i fod yr un mor amddifad o welliannau economaidd gwirioneddol â'i rhagflaenwyr. Beth sydd mor wahanol am y prosiect hwn sy'n argyhoeddi Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet y bydd yn llwyddo pan fo eraill yn amlwg wedi methu, neu a fydd hyn yn profi, unwaith eto, i fod yn sbloet gyhoeddusrwydd ddrud arall?
English: I thank the Minister for his statement, which I welcome, and I thank him also for advance notice of the statement, which, speaking personally, gave me plenty of time to read it in advance. He's mentioned in his answers so far - and he's reiterated it in the statement, which I welcome - the commitment to engaging with the communities to shape the work of the taskforce. Can I press him a little on that? In his mind, what does that look like? What would a constituent of mine in the Neath valley, for example, feel was their relationship to the taskforce? What will they be asked about, and in what will they participate in shaping? So, if he can elaborate on that I'd be grateful. The second point is in relation to the question of public transport. He's indicated the approach to connecting communities that aren't on the metro. There are parts of the western Valleys who feel very far from the metro. So, can he comment on public investment in public transport in that part of the Valleys as well, please?
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ddatganiad, a chroesawaf hynny, a diolch iddo hefyd am ei ragrybudd o'r datganiad, a roddodd, o safbwynt personol, ddigon o amser i mi ei ddarllen ymlaen llaw. Mae wedi crybwyll yn ei atebion hyd yn hyn - ac mae wedi'i ailadrodd yn y datganiad, a chroesawaf hynny - yr ymrwymiad i ymgysylltu â'r cymunedau i lywio gwaith y tasglu. A gaf i ei holi ychydig ynghylch hynny? Yn ei feddwl ef, beth mae'n ei olygu? Beth fyddai un o'm hetholwyr i yng Nghwm Nedd, er enghraifft, yn teimlo oedd ei berthynas ef â'r tasglu? Am beth fydd e'n cael ei holi, a sut fydd yn cymryd rhan yn y gwaith llywio? Felly, pe gallai ymhelaethu ar hynny byddwn i'n ddiolchgar. Mae'r ail bwynt yn ymwneud â mater trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus. Mae wedi cyfeirio at y dull o gysylltu cymunedau nad ydynt ar y metro. Mae rhannau o orllewin y Cymoedd sy'n teimlo'n bell iawn oddi wrth y metro. Felly, a gawn ni sylwadau ganddo ar fuddsoddiad cyhoeddus mewn trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus yn y rhan honno o'r Cymoedd hefyd, os gwelwch yn dda?
English: Item 8 and item 9 have been postponed.
Welsh: Mae eitem 8 ac eitem 9 wedi eu gohirio.
English: Therefore, we move to item 10 on our agenda, which is a debate on the Equality and Human Rights Commission Wales's annual review 2015-16. I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children to move the motion - Carl Sargeant.
Welsh: Felly, symudwn ymlaen at eitem 10 ar ein hagenda, sef dadl ar adroddiad blynyddol Comisiwn Cydraddoldeb a Hawliau Dynol Cymru 2015-16. Galwaf ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gymunedau a Phlant i gynnig y cynnig - Carl Sargeant.
English: I call on Mark Isherwood to move amendments 3 and 4 tabled in the name of Paul Davies.
Welsh: Rwy'n galw ar Mark Isherwood i gynnig gwelliannau 3 a 4 a gyflwynwyd yn enw Paul Davies.
English: The proposal is to agree amendment 1. Does any Member object? Amendment 1 is therefore agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 1? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Felly, derbynnir gwelliant 1.
English: The proposal is to agree amendment 2. Does any Member object? Therefore, amendment 2 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 2? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Felly, derbynnir gwelliant 2.
English: The proposal is to agree amendment 3. Does any Member object? Amendment 3 is therefore agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 3? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Felly, derbynnir gwelliant 3.
English: The proposal is to agree amendment 4. Does any Member object? Therefore, amendment 4 is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 4? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Felly, derbynnir gwelliant 4.
English: The proposal is to agree the motion as amended. Does any Member object? Therefore, the motion as amended is agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn y cynnig fel y'i diwygiwyd? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Ac felly, fe dderbynnir y cynnig fel y'i diwygiwyd.
English: The first item this afternoon is questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education, and the first question, Paul Davies.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf y prynhawn yma yw'r cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg, a'r cwestiwn cyntaf, Paul Davies.
English: Thank you, Paul. Local authorities are responsible for planning and delivery of their education services, balancing local needs and demands. When proposing change, they must ensure that they comply with the statutory school organisation code.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Paul. Mae awdurdodau lleol yn gyfrifol am gynllunio a darparu eu gwasanaethau addysg, gan gydbwyso anghenion a gofynion lleol. Wrth argymell newid, mae'n rhaid iddynt sicrhau eu bod yn cydymffurfio â'r cod trefniadaeth ysgolion statudol.
English: I'm grateful to the Cabinet Secretary for that response. Now, the Cabinet Secretary will be aware that a number of consultations have been held regarding secondary provision in Haverfordwest over the last two to three years, which has delayed the progress of improving education for children and young people. It's now important that Pembrokeshire County Council start delivering, because this number of consultations, which have resulted in huge delays, have been damaging to children's future in the area. Therefore, in the circumstances, will the Cabinet Secretary tell us what role the Welsh Government is playing to ensure that there are no further delays and that we see the establishment of an 11-19 English-medium school in Haverfordwest as soon as possible?
Welsh: Diolch i Ysgrifennydd Cabinet am yr ymateb hwnnw. Nawr, bydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn ymwybodol fod nifer o ymgynghoriadau wedi cael eu cynnal ynglŷn â'r ddarpariaeth uwchradd yn Hwlffordd dros y ddwy i dair blynedd diwethaf, sydd wedi oedi'r broses o wella addysg i blant a phobl ifanc. Mae'n bwysig yn awr fod Cyngor Sir Penfro yn dechrau cyflawni, gan fod y nifer hon o ymgynghoriadau, sydd wedi arwain at oedi enfawr, wedi bod yn niweidiol i ddyfodol plant yn yr ardal. Felly, o dan yr amgylchiadau, a wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ddweud wrthym pa rôl y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei chwarae i sicrhau nad oes unrhyw oedi pellach, a'n bod yn gweld ysgol cyfrwng Saesneg 11 i 19 oed yn cael ei sefydlu yn Hwlffordd cyn gynted ag y bo modd?
English: Thank you, Paul, for that question and the points you make regarding the importance of delivering change in Pembrokeshire to further improve the educational outcomes for children and young people in your constituency. You will be aware that, if there are any changes, there is a possibility that some of those changes will be referred to Welsh Government for decision. Therefore, it would not be right for me to make any comments on the merits of any proposals. I do expect councils, as I said, to comply with the obligations that are placed on them by the school organisation code. I am due to go out to consultation on the robustness of that code later next month. But I'm keen to ensure that all authorities take advantage of the £1.4 billion that exists in the twenty-first century schools programme to deliver up-to-date, first-class facilities, which we know makes a massive impact on the teaching of the teachers who teach in those buildings and the children who receive their education in them.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am y cwestiwn hwnnw, Paul, ac am y pwyntiau a wnewch am bwysigrwydd sicrhau newid yn Sir Benfro, er mwyn gwella canlyniadau addysgol i blant a phobl ifanc yn eich etholaeth. Os ceir newidiadau, fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol fod yna bosibilrwydd y bydd rhai o'r newidiadau hynny'n cael eu cyfeirio at Lywodraeth Cymru er mwyn iddi benderfynu yn eu cylch. Felly, ni fyddai'n iawn i mi wneud sylwadau ar rinweddau unrhyw argymhellion. Fel y dywedais, rwy'n disgwyl i gynghorau gydymffurfio â'r rhwymedigaethau sy'n cael eu gosod arnynt gan y cod trefniadaeth ysgolion. Rwy'n bwriadu ymgynghori ar gadernid y cod yn ddiweddarach y mis nesaf. Ond rwy'n awyddus i sicrhau bod pob awdurdod yn manteisio ar yr £1.4 biliwn sydd ar gael yn rhaglen ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain i ddarparu cyfleusterau cyfoes o'r radd flaenaf y gwyddom eu bod yn effeithio'n enfawr ar yr addysg y mae'r athrawon sy'n addysgu yn yr adeiladau hynny yn ei darparu, a'r plant sy'n cael eu haddysg ynddynt.
English: I want to ask my question in Welsh. Does the Minister have any evidence to support the comment I heard recently that schools that offer education just from the ages of 11 to 16 - that is, to GCSE level - are doing better generally than schools that offer education to children from 11 to 18. Is there any truth in that comment?
Welsh: Rwyf eisiau gofyn y cwestiwn yn Gymraeg. A oes gan y Gweinidog unrhyw dystiolaeth i gefnogi'r sylw a glywais i yn ddiweddar bod ysgolion sydd yn cynnig addysg dim ond o 11 i 16 oed - hynny yw, lefel TGAU - yn gwneud yn well yn gyffredinol nag ysgolion sydd yn cynnig addysg i blant o 11 i 18? A oes yna unrhyw wirionedd yn y sylw yna?
English: Thank you for that comment. Some of our most successful schools are 11-16 schools, but I am not aware of any comprehensive study that looks at the comparative outcomes of schools that offer curriculum through 11-16 or 11-18. What's really important is that local authorities take into consideration the unique characteristics of the area in which they are delivering education. We are seeing a broad variety of schools, as I said, working across 11-16, 11-18, and, increasingly, we're seeing the development of through schools, where children are educated for the entirety of their educational journey on one particular site. I had great pleasure recently, joining with the Presiding Officer, of opening such a school in Llandysul. It'll be interesting to be able to compare outcomes of these different models so that we can learn what works best. But each local authority will have to make the decision that is right for their local population.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am y sylw hwnnw. Mae rhai o'n hysgolion mwyaf llwyddiannus yn ysgolion 11 i 16 oed, ond nid wyf yn ymwybodol o unrhyw astudiaeth gynhwysfawr sy'n edrych ar ganlyniadau cymharol ysgolion sy'n cynnig cwricwlwm 11 i 16 oed, neu 11 i 18 oed. Yr hyn sy'n wirioneddol bwysig yw bod awdurdodau lleol yn ystyried nodweddion unigryw yr ardal lle y maent yn darparu addysg. Rydym yn gweld amrywiaeth eang o ysgolion, fel y dywedais, yn gweithio ar draws 11 i 16 oed, 11 i 18 oed, ac yn gynyddol, gwelwn ysgolion pob oed yn cael eu datblygu, lle y caiff plant eu haddysgu drwy gydol eu taith addysgol ar un safle penodol. Cefais y pleser mawr yn ddiweddar o ymuno â'r Llywydd i agor ysgol o'r fath yn Llandysul. Bydd yn ddiddorol gallu cymharu canlyniadau'r modelau gwahanol hyn, fel y gallwn ddysgu beth sy'n gweithio orau. Ond bydd yn rhaid i bob awdurdod lleol wneud y penderfyniad sy'n iawn ar gyfer eu poblogaeth leol.
