English: Well, with respect, that's exactly what we have done. We provided a package of funding worth almost £0.5 billion to local authorities, and that funding is drawn down by local authorities on a monthly and quarterly basis on the basis of need, and the funding that they've already expended. So there shouldn't be confusion amongst local authorities in terms of what funding is available for them, because it's very clear that there is £310 million for the additional costs incurred by local authorities as a result of the pandemic, and within that we've set out what local authorities are able to claim for: work to support people off the streets, free school meals work, adult social care, temporary mortuaries, cleaning, and then a general fund that covers all sorts of other costs, such as IT staff, overtime, absences, PPE and cleaning costs. And we've also extended the support to adult social care from October to the end of the year as well, so that funding shouldn't be a mystery to local authorities. I know that the discussions I've certainly had with local authority leaders have proved very useful, and they're very welcoming of the funding and they understand it very well. Alongside that, we worked very closely with local authorities to understand the level of the lost income that they're facing, and agreed a sum of £198 million as being sufficient to meet those costs. As I say, it's all completely under review at all times because we're working very closely and having those monthly and quarterly updates, and should I deem that that funding is insufficient, then clearly I would look at it again, but we haven't had an indication that it's not sufficient and there's been no suggestion to me that the system isn't clear.
Welsh: Wel, gyda pharch, dyna'n union rydym wedi'i wneud. Darparwyd pecyn cyllid gwerth bron i £0.5 biliwn gennym i awdurdodau lleol, ac mae awdurdodau lleol yn tynnu'r cyllid hwnnw i lawr bob mis ac yn chwarterol ar sail angen a'r cyllid y maent eisoes wedi'i wario. Felly ni ddylai fod dryswch i awdurdodau lleol ynglŷn â pha gyllid sydd ar gael iddynt, oherwydd mae'n amlwg iawn fod £310 miliwn ar gyfer y costau ychwanegol a ysgwyddir gan awdurdodau lleol o ganlyniad i'r pandemig, ac o fewn hwnnw rydym wedi nodi'r hyn y gall awdurdodau lleol wneud cais amdano: gwaith i gynorthwyo pobl i ddod oddi ar y strydoedd, gwaith ar brydau ysgol am ddim, gofal cymdeithasol i oedolion, corffdai dros dro, glanhau, a chronfa gyffredinol ar gyfer pob math o gostau eraill, megis staff TG, goramser, absenoldebau, cyfarpar diogelu personol a chostau glanhau. Ac rydym hefyd wedi ymestyn y cymorth i ofal cymdeithasol i oedolion o fis Hydref hyd ddiwedd y flwyddyn hefyd, fel na ddylai cyllid fod yn ddirgelwch i awdurdodau lleol. Rwy'n gwybod bod y trafodaethau a gefais gydag arweinwyr awdurdodau lleol wedi bod yn ddefnyddiol iawn yn sicr, ac maent yn croesawu'r cyllid yn fawr ac yn ei ddeall yn dda iawn. Ochr yn ochr â hynny, buom yn gweithio'n agos iawn gydag awdurdodau lleol i ddeall lefel yr incwm y maent yn wynebu ei golli, a chytunwyd ar swm o £198 miliwn fel swm digonol i dalu'r costau hynny. Fel y dywedais, mae'r cyfan dan adolygiad drwy'r amser oherwydd ein bod yn gweithio'n agos iawn ac yn cael y diweddariadau misol a chwarterol hynny, ac os barnaf fod y cyllid hwnnw'n annigonol, mae'n amlwg y byddwn yn edrych arno eto, ond nid ydym wedi cael arwydd nad yw'n ddigonol ac ni fu unrhyw awgrym nad yw'r system yn glir.
