English: I will start by disappointing the Minister in saying that I won't be changing my view on my intentions, and Plaid Cymru's intentions, in relation to opposing this Bill. He referred to the fact that the Bill is brief and technical, and that's quite right, and there is some disconnect between the Bill and the Government's policy. But, of course, whilst the words in the first clause of the first section talk about restricting this offer to working parents, I have a fundamental problem with the Bill. Plaid Cymru doesn't oppose offering free childcare - indeed, one of the cornerstones of the Plaid Cymru manifesto was to offer this free childcare universally to three and four-year-old children. My problem is that the Labour Government is restricting that offer.
Welsh: Mi gychwynnaf i drwy siomi'r Gweinidog a dweud na fyddaf i'n newid fy marn ynglŷn â fy mwriad i, a Phlaid Cymru, i wrthwynebu'r Bil yma. Mi gyfeiriodd at y ffaith bod y Bil, wrth gwrs, yn fyr ac yn dechnegol - mae hynny'n gywir - ac mae yna rhyw ddatgysylltiad yn bodoli rhwng y Bil a pholisi'r Llywodraeth. Ond, wrth gwrs, tra bod y geiriau yn y cymal cyntaf o'r adran gyntaf yn sôn am gyfyngu'r cynnig yma i rieni sy'n gweithio, yna mae gen i broblem sylfaenol gyda'r Bil. Nid yw Plaid Cymru, wrth gwrs, yn gwrthwynebu cynnig gofal plant am ddim - yn wir, un o gonglfeini maniffesto Plaid Cymru oedd cynnig y gofal plant yma i bob plentyn tair a phedair oed. Fy mhroblem i yw bod y Blaid Lafur, y Llywodraeth Lafur, yn cyfyngu'r cynnig yna.
English: Thank you for giving way. I just wonder whether the committee have analysed how many children we're actually talking about, given that only 3.8 per cent of the working population is unemployed. How many children are we talking about?
Welsh: Diolch i chi am ildio. Tybed a yw'r Pwyllgor wedi dadansoddi faint o blant yr ydym ni'n sôn amdanynt, mewn gwirionedd, o gofio mai dim ond 3.8 y cant o'r boblogaeth oedran gweithio sy'n ddi-waith. Faint o blant ydym ni'n sôn amdanynt?
English: Thank you. Can I now call the Minister for Children, Older People and Social Care to reply to the debate? Huw Irranca-Davies.
Welsh: Diolch. A gaf i alw nawr ar y Gweinidog dros Blant, Pobl Hŷn a Gofal Cymdeithasol i ymateb i'r ddadl? Huw Irranca-Davies.
English: If I do, it's going to eat into time, but I'm happy to take one.
Welsh: Os gwnaf hynny, bydd yn bwyta i mewn i'r amser, ond rwy'n hapus i gymryd un.
English: Just very briefly, I wonder, Minister, if you can respond a little bit more to what both the Chair of the committee and others have said about the restrictions on Flying Start and the fact that so many of our children who are growing up in poverty are not in those areas. This isn't new.
Welsh: Dim ond yn fyr iawn, tybed, Gweinidog, a wnewch chi ymateb ychydig yn fwy i'r hyn y mae Cadeirydd y pwyllgor ac eraill wedi'i ddweud am y cyfyngiadau ar Dechrau'n Deg a'r ffaith bod cynifer o'n plant, sy'n cael eu magu mewn tlodi, y tu allan i'r ardaloedd hynny. Nid yw hyn yn newydd.
English: Thank you very much. If I could turn to the comments about parents and education and training, I'm very aware of and very sympathetic to the challenges all parents face in accessing affordable childcare when they need it, but this offer is aimed at the working parents of three and four-year-olds. And, actually, colleagues around the Chamber, if they go back and look, with one exception, at the manifesto's offers - they were not, in some ways, dissimilar; they cover the same ground: three and four-year-olds, limited hours et cetera. Now, Welsh Ministers, I have to say, do have the powers to bring forward additional programmes of support, as required, subject, again, to the relevant funding being available. Now, I do appreciate, however, that the different support available may be confusing for people to understand and I have commissioned a piece of internal work to look at this further and to look at options to reduce confusion and reduce complexity. So, the sort of work Helen Mary and Llyr were talking about - we're on the case with that; we're looking at how we resolve these issues and bring together a more cohesive system, but it's different from this Bill and the delivery mechanism of the HMRC. Dirprwy Lywydd, are you looking at me asking me to - ? You want me to wind up.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Os caf i droi at y sylwadau am rieni ac addysg a hyfforddiant, rwy'n ymwybodol iawn, ac yn cydymdeimlo'n fawr, o ran yr heriau y mae pob rhiant yn eu hwynebu wrth gael gafael ar ofal plant fforddiadwy pan fydd arnynt ei angen, ond ar gyfer rhieni sy'n gweithio ac sydd â phlant tair a phedair oed y mae'r cynnig hwn. Ac, mewn gwirionedd, bydd fy nghyd-Aelodau o amgylch y Siambr, os byddan nhw'n mynd yn ôl ac yn edrych ar gynigion y maniffesto yn gweld nad oedden nhw, mewn rhai ffyrdd, yn annhebyg; maen nhw'n cwmpasu yr un maes: plant tair a phedair oed, oriau cyfyngedig ac ati. Nawr, mae gan Weinidogion Cymru, mae'n rhaid imi ddweud, y pwerau i gyflwyno rhaglenni ychwanegol o gefnogaeth, yn ôl y gofyn, ar yr amod, unwaith eto, bod y cyllid perthnasol ar gael. Nawr, rwy'n gwerthfawrogi, er hyn, y gall yr amrywiol gymorth sydd ar gael fod yn ddryslyd i bobl ei ddeall ac rwyf wedi comisiynu darn o waith mewnol i ystyried hyn ymhellach ac i edrych ar ddewisiadau i leihau dryswch a chymhlethdod. Felly, y math o waith yr oedd Helen Mary a Llyr yn sôn amdano - rydym ni'n gweithio ar hynny; rydym ni'n ystyried sut yr ydym yn mynd i ddatrys y materion hyn ac yn dwyn ynghyd system fwy cydlynol, ond mae'n wahanol i'r Bil hwn ac i ddull cyflawni Cyllid a Thollau EM. Dirprwy Lywydd, a ydych chi'n edrych arnaf i ofyn imi - ? Ydych chi eisiau imi ddirwyn i ben.
English: You had time for the intervention; I've been generous. [ Laughter.]
Welsh: Cawsoch chi amser ar gyfer yr ymyriad; rwyf i wedi bod yn hael. [ Chwerthin.]
English: Indeed. Thank you so much. Just one final point, then. I can't cover all bases, but additional charges were raised, and I do appreciate the concerns around additional charges, not least as a parent of three children myself, having brought them up when I was a humble sports centre manager on £6,400 - how much was it - £6,430 a year there. It's a challenge. However, there is a range and diversity of providers out there within childcare, slightly different from other sectors, and providers must retain the right to make additional charges to parents accessing the offer, but not for the offer itself. The childcare sector is disparate, but it is worth noting that we have been clear that parents cannot charge top-up rates to parents accessing the offer. However, they can charge - as many of them have done historically - for additional items such as transport or food where they would normally do so, and inform the parents. But we'll keep this matter under review and we'll look at this again as part of the review of the rate ahead of the national roll out. Dirprwy Lywydd, thank you for giving me a bit of additional time. I've tried to respond to as many as possible. I'd urge Members to look at the responses that we've sent to all three committees, and I look forward to working with the committees and with other Members in subsequent stages if this is passed today.
Welsh: Yn wir. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Dim ond un pwynt olaf, felly. Ni allaf sôn am bopeth, ond soniwyd am ffioedd ychwanegol, ac rwy'n gwerthfawrogi'r pryderon ynghylch ffioedd ychwanegol, wedi'r cyfan rwy'n riant i dri o blant fy hun, ac fe wnes i eu magu pan oeddwn i yn rheolwr canolfan chwaraeon cyffredin ar £6,400 - faint oedd e - £6,430 y flwyddyn yn y fan honno. Mae'n her. Fodd bynnag, mae yna ystod ac amrywiaeth o ddarparwyr ar gael ym maes gofal plant, ychydig yn wahanol i sectorau eraill, ac mae'n rhaid i ddarparwyr gadw'r hawl i godi taliadau ychwanegol ar rieni sy'n defnyddio'r hyn y maen nhw'n ei gynnig, ond nid y cynnig ei hun. Mae'r sector gofal plant yn amrywiol, ond mae'n werth nodi ein bod wedi bod yn glir na all rhieni godi cyfraddau atodol ar rieni sy'n defnyddio'r cynnig. Fodd bynnag, cânt godi tâl - fel y mae llawer ohonyn nhw wedi ei wneud yn hanesyddol - am eitemau ychwanegol megis cludiant neu fwyd pan fyddent yn gwneud hynny fel arfer, a rhoi gwybod i'r rhieni. Ond byddwn yn adolygu'r mater hwn a byddwn ni'n edrych ar hyn eto yn rhan o'r adolygiad o'r gyfradd cyn cyflwyno'n genedlaethol. Dirprwy Lywydd, diolch am roi rhywfaint o amser ychwanegol imi. Rwyf wedi ceisio ymateb i gynifer â phosibl. Rwyf yn annog yr Aelodau i edrych ar yr ymatebion hynny yr ydym wedi eu hanfon i bob un o'r tri phwyllgor, ac edrychaf ymlaen at weithio gyda'r pwyllgorau a'r Aelodau eraill ar y camau dilynol os caiff hwn ei basio heddiw.
English: Thank you. The proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Therefore, we move voting under this item until voting time.
Welsh: Diolch. Y cynnig yw derbyn y cynnig. A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu? [Gw rthwynebiad.] Felly, symudwn y pleidleisio o dan yr eitem hon i'r cyfnod pleidleisio.
English: Item 7 on the agenda is the motion to agree the financial resolution in respect of the Childcare Funding (Wales) Bill. So, I'll call on the Minister for Children and Social Care to move the motion.
Welsh: Eitem 7 ar yr agenda yw'r cynnig i gytuno ar y penderfyniad ariannol ynghylch Bil Cyllido Gofal Plant (Cymru). Felly, galwaf ar y Gweinidog Gofal Cymdeithasol a Phlant i gynnig y cynnig.
English: Thank you. I have no speakers in the debate, therefore, as the voting on the general principles of the Childcare Funding (Wales) Bill has been deferred until voting time, I'm going to defer the vote on the financial resolution as well.
Welsh: Diolch. Nid oes gennyf siaradwyr yn y ddadl, felly, gan fod y pleidleisio ar egwyddorion cyffredinol Bil Cyllido Gofal Plant (Cymru) wedi'i ohirio tan y cyfnod pleidleisio, rwy'n mynd i ohirio'r bleidlais ar y penderfyniad ariannol hefyd.
English: So, we now move to voting time. Unless three Members wish for the bell to be rung, I'm going to proceed directly to voting time. No. Okay, good.
Welsh: Felly, symudwn yn awr at y cyfnod pleidleisio. Oni bai bod tri Aelod yn dymuno i'r gloch gael ei chanu, rwy'n mynd i fwrw ymlaen yn syth i'r cyfnod pleidleisio. Na. Iawn, da iawn.
English: So, can we call for a vote on the motion, tabled in the name of Huw Irranca-Davies? This is the motion on the debate on the general principles of the Childcare Funding (Wales) Bill. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the motion 41, no abstentions, 11 against. Therefore, the motion is agreed.
Welsh: Felly, a gawn ni alw am bleidlais ar y cynnig, a gyflwynwyd yn enw Huw Irranca-Davies? Y cynnig ar y ddadl ar egwyddorion cyffredinol Bil Cyllido Gofal Plant (Cymru) yw hwn. Agorwch y bleidlais. Caewch y bleidlais. O blaid y cynnig 41, neb wedi ymatal, 11 yn erbyn. Felly, mae'r cynnig wedi ei dderbyn.
English: We'll now move to vote on the motion to approve the financial resolution in respect of the Childcare Funding (Wales) Bill. And, again, I call for a vote on the motion, tabled in the name of Julie James. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the motion 41, eight abstentions, three against. Therefore, the motion is carried.
Welsh: Symudwn nawr at bleidleisio ar y cynnig i gymeradwyo'r penderfyniad ariannol ynghylch Bil Cyllido Gofal Plant (Cymru). Ac, unwaith eto, galwaf am bleidlais ar y cynnig, a gyflwynwyd yn enw Julie James. Agorwch y bleidlais. Caewch y bleidlais. O blaid y cynnig 41, wyth wedi ymatal, tri yn erbyn. Felly, mae'r cynnig wedi ei dderbyn.
English: That brings today's proceedings to a close. Thank you.
Welsh: Daw hynny â thrafodion heddiw i ben. Diolch yn fawr.
English: Good morning. I want to ask a questions about holding deposits, first of all, perhaps, to Jim. How widespread is the practice of asking for holding deposits by now? The Welsh Government have told the committee that they don't believe that local authorities really encounter demands for holding deposits when placing people in supported accommodation or in the private sector. Is that the picture that you have across the sector in Wales?
Welsh: Bore da. Rydw i eisiau gofyn cwestiynau ynglŷn â blaendaliadau cadw, yn gyntaf, efallai, i Jim. Pa mor eang ydy'r arfer o ofyn am flaendaliadau cadw erbyn hyn? Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dweud wrth y pwyllgor nad ydyn nhw'n meddwl bod awdurdodau lleol yn wynebu galwadau am flaendaliadau cadw yn aml wrth roi pobl mewn llety â chymorth neu yn y sector preifat. Ai dyna'r darlun erbyn hyn ar draws Cymru?
English: From the point of view of local authorities, I don't have any evidence that shows that deposits are being required for projects within the authority. It wouldn't be affordable and there'd be no way for us to manage that in the future.
Welsh: O safbwynt cynghorau lleol, nid oes tystiolaeth gyda fi i brofi bod unrhyw flaendaliadau yn cael eu codi ar brosiectau y tu mewn i'r awdurdod. Fyddai e ddim yn fforddiadwy a fyddai dim ffordd gyda ni o reoli hynny yn y dyfodol.
English: So, if that practice isn't common, except for, perhaps, a few examples in the sector when you're placing people in the private sector, this section - Schedule 2 - isn't really relevant for the local government sector.
Welsh: Felly, os nad ydy'r arfer yn gyffredin, heblaw, efallai, am ambell enghraifft yn y sector pan fyddwch chi'n gosod pobl yn y sector preifat, nid yw'r adran yma - Atodlen 2 - ddim rili'n berthnasol i sector llywodraeth leol.
English: I don't think it is relevant, no. On the other hand, we do welcome the fact that there is a cap on deposits in general and the fact that the tenants would then have the ability to have those deposits back if they continue with their tenancy.
Welsh: Nid wyf i'n credu ei fod e'n berthnasol. Ar y llaw arall, rydym ni'n croesawu bod yna gap yn cael ei ddodi ar flaendaliadau yn gyffredinol a'r ffaith bod y gallu gyda'r tenantiaid wedyn i gael y blaendaliadau hynny'n ôl os ydynt nhw'n parhau gyda'r denantiaeth.
English: Okay. In your experience, therefore, would banning holding deposits completely not change the situation much?
Welsh: Iawn. Yn eich profiad chi, felly, a fyddai gwahardd blaendaliadau cadw yn llwyr ddim yn newid y sefyllfa ryw lawer?
English: For me, we do need to have a balance between ensuring that the agents are safeguarded, that they do not lose out. This goes some way towards preventing that from happening, where many tenants would, perhaps, waste the time of agents and agencies. So, this makes them realise that, if they are serious about renting a house or a home, they have to be in a situation then where they can get that deposit together, that they can manage their tenancy and that they can ensure that they will to continue to pay the rent. So, in one way, it does ensure that agents can claw back some of that funding that would be a loss to them at the beginning of the process, but it also makes tenants consider whether they're serious about continuing with that process as well. It also gives local authorities time, if they do need support, perhaps with payments or with rent in advance, or any other kind of support, it does give the local authorities time to put those services in place.
Welsh: I fi, mae'n rhaid cael cydbwysedd i wneud yn siŵr bod yr asiantau yn cael eu hamddiffyn, nad ydyn nhw ar eu colled. Mae hyn yn mynd bach o'r ffordd i atal hynny, lle byddai llawer o denantiaid, efallai, yn gwastraffu amser asiantau ac asiantaethau. Felly, mae hyn yn gwneud iddyn nhw ystyried, os ydyn nhw o ddifrif am rentu tŷ, fod yn rhaid iddyn nhw fod mewn sefyllfa lle maen nhw'n gallu cael y blaendaliadau, lle maen nhw'n gallu rheoli eu tenantiaeth a lle maen nhw'n gallu sicrhau eu bod nhw'n mynd i barhau gyda'r rhent. So, mewn un ffordd, mae'n sicrhau bod asiantau yn gallu tynnu nôl bach o'r arian yna a fyddai yn golled iddyn nhw ar gychwyn unrhyw broses, ond eto i gyd mae'n gwneud i denantiaid ystyried a ydyn nhw o ddifrif o ran parhau gyda'r broses. Hefyd, mae'n rhoi amser i awdurdodau lleol, os bydd angen cymorth arnynt hwy, efallai gyda thaliadau neu rent o flaen llaw, neu unrhyw gymorth arall, mae'n rhoi amser wedyn i'r awdurdodau ddodi'r gwasanaethau yna yn eu lle.
English: So, you're quite content with what's in Schedule 2.
Welsh: Felly, rydych chi'n eithaf hapus efo beth sydd yn Atodlen 2.
English: You are. Jim, is that common? Gareth has been speaking on behalf of Carmarthenshire. Is that the opinion of the WLGA - that Schedule 2 needs to be kept, that we need to keep some kind of control and to keep some rules around these holding deposits? Some witnesses have told us that it would be possible to get rid of them completely, but what's your opinion?
Welsh: Ydych. Jim, a ydy hynny'n gyffredin? Mae Gareth wedi siarad ar ran Caerfyrddin. Ai dyna farn y WLGA - mewn ffordd, o ran Atodlen 2, fod angen cadw rhywfaint o reolaeth a chadw rhywfaint o reolau o gwmpas y blaendaliadau cadw yma? Mae yna rai tystion wedi dweud wrthym ni y byddai modd cael gwared arnyn nhw'n llwyr, ond beth ydy'ch barn chi?
English: Do you have an opinion about keeping holding deposits if tenants don't pass checks for right to rent? Those checks haven't come into force yet in Wales, but what's your opinion about that provision?
Welsh: A oes gennych chi farn ynglŷn â chadw'r blaendal cadw os nad yw tenantiaid yn pasio profion gwirio hawl i rentu? Er nad yw'r rheini wedi dod i rym eto yng Nghymru, beth yw'ch barn chi am y ddarpariaeth honno?
English: Good morning. I'd like to discuss holding deposits. Have you considered at all prohibiting holding deposits entirely?
Welsh: Bore da. Hoffwn i drafod blaendaliadau cadw. A ydych chi wedi ystyried o gwbl gwahardd blaendaliadau cadw yn gyfan gwbl?
English: I'm discussing holding deposits, and I asked if you'd given any consideration to prohibiting holding deposits entirely.
Welsh: Rwy'n trafod blaendaliadau cadw, ac a ydych chi wedi ystyried o gwbl gwahardd blaendaliadau cadw yn gyfan gwbl.
English: The evidence that we've received is that there isn't much use made of holding deposits by now anyway, so would it not simplify the entire process and make access easier, in a way, if holding deposits didn't have to be paid? Shelter Cymru have said that their experience in Scotland was that tenancies could happen sooner because the tenants themselves were responsible for credit checks. And if the entire point of the legislation is to make it easier and to facilitate it for tenants to get tenancies, then this would be one way of helping that situation. But you don't agree with that.
Welsh: Y dystiolaeth rydym ni wedi'i chael yw nad oes llawer o ddefnydd o flaendaliadau cadw erbyn hyn beth bynnag, felly oni fyddai'n symleiddio yr holl broses a gwneud mynediad yn haws, mewn ffordd, pe na bai'r blaendal cadw yma yn gorfod cael ei dalu? Mae Shelter Cymru wedi dweud bod y profiad yn yr Alban yn dangos bod y tenantiaethau yn gallu digwydd yn gynt oherwydd bod y tenantiaid eu hunain yn gyfrifol am wneud y gwiriadau credyd eu hunain. Ac os mai holl bwrpas y ddeddfwriaeth ydy ei gwneud hi'n gyflymach ac yn haws i denantiaid gael gafael ar denantiaethau, mi fyddai hon yn un ffordd o helpu'r sefyllfa yna. Ond nid ydych chi ddim yn cytuno â hynny.
English: Okay. Taking, then, that the holding deposits will stay, a number of witnesses have suggested that the deposit should be subject to a short cooling-off period, where the holding deposit would have to be returned, and Shelter Cymru have suggested a period of 48 hours. Would the Welsh Government support that?
Welsh: Ocê. O gymryd, felly, bod y blaendal cadw yn mynd i aros, mae yna nifer o dystion wedi awgrymu y dylai'r blaendal fod yn amodol ar gyfnod ailystyried byr, lle byddai'n rhaid dychwelyd y blaendal cadw, ac mae Shelter Cymru wedi awgrymu cyfnod o 48 awr. A fyddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn cefnogi hynny?
English: Finally, the right to rent checks. Although they haven't been introduced in Wales, the Bill would allow holding deposits to be retained where a prospective contract holder fails a right to rent check. There's some concern about this. Why do you need to include this provision in the Bill at all?
Welsh: Yn olaf, y profion gwirio hawl i rentu. Er nad ydynt wedi cael eu cyflwyno yng Nghymru rŵan, mi fyddai'r Bil yn caniatáu i flaendal cadw gael ei gadw mewn achos lle mae darpar ddeiliad y contract yn methu prawf gwirio hawl i rentu. Mae yna dipyn o bryder ynghylch hyn. Pam fod angen i chi gynnwys y ddarpariaeth yma yn y Bil o gwbl?
English: There is just one more question about the use of the word 'reasonably' in Schedule 2 as we are talking about the holding deposits. 'Reasonably' can be subjective and can be interpreted differently by different people. Is there a need to be more detailed and to explain in Schedule 2 what exactly that means?
Welsh: Mae jest un cwestiwn arall ynglŷn â'r defnydd o'r gair 'rhesymol' yn Atodlen 2 pan fyddwn ni'n sôn am y blaendaliadau cadw. Mae 'rhesymol' yn gallu cael ei ddehongli mewn gwahanol ffyrdd gan wahanol bobl. A oes angen bod yn fwy manwl ac egluro yn Atodlen 2 beth yn union mae hwn yn ei olygu?
English: Is there room for the residential property tribunal or a body other than the courts to play a role in resolving any dispute?
Welsh: A oes yna le i'r tribiwnlys eiddo preswyl neu gorff arall heblaw'r llysoedd i chwarae rôl wrth ddatrys unrhyw anghydfod?
English: Thank you very much for the opportunity to chair. We have several items on the agenda this morning, but I'll start by just welcoming you formally, and also any members of the public who are tuning in to listen to us, to this morning's meeting. Could I note also that the headsets are available, and that the translation is on channel 1 and the amplification is on channel 0? Could I also ask you to ensure that any electronic devices are on silent, and ask whether Members have any apologies? I know that we've had an apology from Steffan Lewis, and I can see that everyone else is present.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi am y cyfle i gadeirio. Mae yna nifer o eitemau gennym ni ar yr agenda bore yma, ond mi gychwynnaf i jest drwy eich croesawu chi'n ffurfiol, a hefyd unrhyw aelodau o'r cyhoedd sydd yn tiwnio i mewn i wrando arnom ni, i'n cyfarfod y bore yma. A gaf i nodi hefyd fod y clustffonau ar gael, wrth gwrs, ar eich cyfer chi, a bod y cyfieithu ar sianel 1 a'r sain ar sianel 0? A gaf i hefyd ofyn ichi sicrhau bod unrhyw ddyfeisiadau electronig wedi'u distewi, a hefyd ofyn a oes yna unrhyw ymddiheuriadau? Rydw i'n gwybod bod yna ymddiheuriad wedi dod gan Steffan Lewis, ac rydw i'n gweld bod pawb arall yn bresennol.
English: So, we'll turn to the second item.
Welsh: Felly, mi drown ni at yr ail eitem.
English: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to this first meeting of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee this term in the National Assembly for Wales. Again, good morning to you all. Under item 1, can I extend a welcome to my fellow members of this committee, and further explain that this meeting is naturally bilingual? You can use the headsets to hear interpretation from Welsh to English on channel 1 or for amplification on channel 2. You should follow the instructions of the ushers should the fire alarm sound. Does anyone wish to make a declaration of interest? As usual, no. We've received a message that Dawn Bowden will be running late this morning, but we do expect her to arrive later.
Welsh: Bore da i chi gyd, a chroeso i gyfarfod cyntaf y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon y tymor yma yng Nghynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru. Bore da i chi gyd. O dan eitem 1, a allaf estyn croeso i fy nghyd-aelodau o'r pwyllgor yma, ac ymhellach egluro bod y cyfarfod yma yn naturiol ddwyieithog? Gellir defnyddio'r clustffonau i glywed cyfieithu ar y pryd o'r Gymraeg i'r Saesneg ar sianel 1 neu i glywed cyfraniadau yn yr iaith wreiddiol yn well ar sianel 2. Dylid dilyn cyfarwyddiadau'r tywyswyr os bydd y larwm tân yn canu. A oes unrhyw un sydd eisiau datgan buddiannau? Dim, fel sy'n arferol. Rydym wedi cael neges y bydd Dawn Bowden yn cyrraedd yn hwyr y bore yma, ond rydym ni'n ei disgwyl hi.
