English: We welcome the conclusions and recommendations of this report, and we're grateful that the Welsh Government accepts the recommendations within it, although there is still much work to be done, of course. There is no doubt that the creative industries have been hit very hard by COVID-19, and that the Government must help the sector to rebuild. I do, therefore, welcome the statement made earlier today outlining further support for the sector. This is a high-salary industry that is rooted in our communities. The creative industries are one of the fastest growing sectors in Wales, with an annual turnover of £1.9 billion, and it's important to bear in mind the huge contribution that the sector makes to Welsh life and the Welsh economy. If I could just turn to three specific aspects this afternoon - first of all, public service broadcasters in Wales. Now, certainly, the crisis has demonstrated their value, as others have already mentioned. However, they are facing unprecedented challenges as they see reductions in income and revenue, and huge efforts are required to ensure that these institutions are there for the future. I do welcome the fact that the Welsh Government will be responding to the Ofcom consultation on the future of public service broadcasting, and I look forward to seeing exactly what will be contained within that response. The pandemic has highlighted the need to devolve broadcasting. There are many arguments for that, and well-being and public health have come to the fore as strong arguments - things that weren't given much attention until the current crisis struck. To turn to digital media, I would like to mention Golwg360. This is a news website that is funded through the Welsh Books Council, with a figure of £200,000 available per annum over a period of four years. Now, this figure has remained static since the service was established back in 2009. There's been no increase in the grant, although costs have, clearly, increased and there's an expectation for them to do more as technology and the journalistic landscape change and develop. I do think that we need to ensure that there is sufficient support available to them in moving forward. We do need to bear in mind their invaluable, independent contribution to journalism in Wales. Turning, finally, to another aspect that is a cause of concern at the moment. It's very disappointing to hear once again that whilst cinemas, bingo halls, museums and galleries are all able to reopen, our theatres can't do so - they remain closed. We need a clear plan as a matter of urgency in order to reopen our theatres in Wales, and that needs to be done safely, of course. We saw open-air events that were very successful, such as the one held by Theatr Clwyd over the summer months, and the sector does feel that it's important that we maintain that momentum over the next few months and that we do put in place a full framework for reopening. We can't wait until the spring to restart these experimental events. We know that there is a right for 15 individuals to meet indoors, and 30 outdoors, for a planned event, and professionals within theatres are very aware of the guidance. One could argue that theatres are well placed to effectively manage events, be that indoors or outdoors, and there's a real desire there for this. A survey has indicated that 67 per cent of people who usually go to the theatre would consider attending events if theatres were to reopen with social distancing, and 94 per cent had shown an interest in events being staged in the open air, even in the winter months. So, it's clear that there is demand to reopen our theatres, and I would like your comments on that, if that's possible. There is no doubt that excellent work is ongoing. There is some positive work happening. Dawns i Bawb is one example of that that's located in my constituency. There are so many companies and individuals contributing energetically to maintain and sustain our cultural lives, despite the numerous challenges, and we need to bear that in mind.
Welsh: Rydyn ni'n croesawu casgliadau ac argymhellion yr adroddiad yma, ac yn ddiolchgar bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn derbyn yr argymhellion, er bod yna lawer iawn o waith i'w wneud o hyd, wrth gwrs. Does dim amheuaeth bod y diwydiannau creadigol wedi cael eu taro'n galed iawn gan COVID-19 a bod yn rhaid i'r Llywodraeth helpu'r sector i ailadeiladu. Dwi, felly, yn croesawu'r datganiad gawson ni yn gynharach heddiw yn amlinellu rhagor o gymorth i'r sector. Dyma ni ddiwydiant cyflog uchel sydd wedi'i wreiddio yn ein cymunedau ni. Mae'r diwydiannau creadigol yn un o'r sectorau sy'n tyfu gyflymaf yng Nghymru, efo throsiant blynyddol o £1.9 biliwn, ac mae'n bwysig cofio'r cyfraniad aruthrol mae'r sector yn ei wneud i fywyd ac economi ein gwlad ni. A gaf i jest droi at dair agwedd benodol y prynhawn yma? I ddechrau, yr agwedd o ddarlledwyr gwasanaeth cyhoeddus yng Nghymru. Yn sicr, mae'r argyfwng wedi dangos eu gwerth nhw, fel y mae eraill wedi sôn yn barod. Er hyn, maen nhw'n wynebu heriau digynsail wrth iddyn nhw weld lleihad incwm a refeniw, ac mae angen ymdrech enfawr i sicrhau bod y sefydliadau yma ar gyfer y dyfodol. Dwi yn croesawu'r ffaith y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymateb i ymgynghoriad Ofcom ar ddyfodol darlledu gwasanaeth cyhoeddus, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld beth yn union fydd yn yr ymateb yna. Mae'r pandemig wedi amlygu'r angen i ddatganoli darlledu. Mae yna lawer o ddadleuon dros hynny, ac mae lles iechyd cyhoeddus wedi dod i'r amlwg fel un o'r dadleuon - dadl na chafodd lawer o sylw tan yr argyfwng presennol. I droi at y cyfryngau digidol, hoffwn i sôn am Golwg360. Dyma chi wefan sy'n cael ei hariannu drwy'r cyngor llyfrau, gyda swm o £200,000 y flwyddyn dros gyfnod o bedair blynedd. Mae'r swm yma wedi aros yn gyson, ar yr un lefel, ers cychwyn y gwasanaeth yn ôl yn 2009 - dim cynnydd yn y grant, er, yn amlwg, bod costau wedi cynyddu ac mae yna ddisgwyliad iddyn nhw wneud mwy wrth i dechnoleg a'r tirlun newyddiadurol newid a datblygu. Dwi yn credu bod angen sicrhau bod digon o gefnogaeth ar gael iddyn nhw wrth symud ymlaen a chofio am eu cyfraniad annibynnol amhrisiadwy at newyddiaduraeth yng Nghymru. Rwy'n troi, yn olaf, at un agwedd arall sydd yn peri pryder ar hyn o bryd. Mae'n siomedig iawn clywed unwaith eto, tra bod sinemâu, neuaddau bingo, amgueddfeydd ac orielau yn gallu agor, dydy'n theatrau ni ddim yn gallu gwneud - maen nhw'n parhau i fod ar gau. Mae angen cynllun clir arnom ni ar frys gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer ailagor ein theatrau yng Nghymru, a hynny mewn ffordd ddiogel, wrth gwrs. Mi gawson ni ddigwyddiadau awyr agored, arbrofol llwyddiannus iawn, fel yr un gan Theatr Clwyd dros yr haf, ac mae'r sector yn teimlo ei bod hi'n bwysig cadw'r momentwm yma i fynd dros y misoedd nesaf a chwblhau'r fframwaith llawn ar gyfer ailagor. Dydy hi ddim yn bosibl aros tan y gwanwyn i ailgychwyn digwyddiadau arbrofol. Rydyn ni'n gwybod bod hawl i 15 unigolyn gwrdd tu fewn, a 30 tu allan, am ddigwyddiad sydd wedi ei gynllunio, ac mae staff proffesiynol theatrau'n ymwybodol iawn o'r canllawiau. Gellid dadlau bod theatrau mewn safle da i allu rheoli'n effeithiol ddigwyddiad tu fewn neu tu allan, ac mae yna chwant yna ar gyfer hyn. Mae yna arolwg yn dangos y buasai 67 y cant o bobl sy'n arfer mynd i'r theatr yn ystyried mynychu digwyddiadau pe bai lleoliadau'n ailagor efo ymbellhau cymdeithasol, a 94 y cant wedi dangos diddordeb mewn digwyddiadau'n cael eu cynnal y tu allan, hyd yn oed yn y gaeaf. Felly, mae'n amlwg bod yna alw i ailagor ein theatrau, a hoffwn i gael eich sylwadau chi ar hynny y prynhawn yma os ydy hynny'n bosib. Does yna ddim dwywaith bod yna waith ardderchog yn digwydd. Mae yna waith positif yn digwydd. Mae Dawns i Bawb yn un enghraifft o hwnnw sydd wedi'i leoli yn fy etholaeth i. Mae yna gymaint o gwmnïau ac unigolion yn cyfrannu'n egnïol i gynnal ein bywyd diwylliannol ni er gwaethaf yr heriau di-ri, ac mae angen cofio hynny.
