Diolch, Lywydd. Ers y Cyfarfod Llawn diwethaf, mae dau ychwanegiad wedi'u gwneud i agenda heddiw. Mi fydd y Gweinidog Cabinet dros Iechyd a Gofal a'r Gweinidog Cabinet dros Fenter, Cysylltedd ac Ynni yn gwneud datganiadau llafar ar eu blaenoriaethau portffolio. Mae busnes drafft y tair wythnos nesaf wedi'i nodi yn y datganiad busnes sydd ar gael i'r Aelodau yn electronig.

Thank you, Llywydd. Since the last Plenary meeting, two additions have been made to today's agenda. The Cabinet Minister for Health and Care and the Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy will each make an oral statement on their portfolio priorities. Draft Plenary business for the next three weeks is shown on the business statement that is available to Members electronically.

Diolch am y cwestiwn. Fel rhywun oedd ar yr ynys, fy mam ynys i, fel rhywun o Fôn yn wreiddiol, ar gyfer Eisteddfod yr Urdd, dwi'n meddwl, oedd, mi oedd o'n rhwystredigaeth, ond, yn amlwg, i bobl yr ynys sydd yn byw efo hyn bob dydd, a'r ansicrwydd, mae o'n fater sydd angen cael datrysiad, a dwi'n siŵr bod yr Aelod wedi clywed sylwadau'r Prif Weinidog yn gynharach yn ystod y cwestiynau y prynhawn yma. Mae pobl Ynys Môn a phobl ledled gogledd Cymru, wedi cael eu siomi am lawer rhy hir o ran gwydnwch croesfannau'r Fenai, ac mae heddiw yn profi unwaith yn rhagor pam mae angen canfod datrysiad. Tra bod y Llywodraeth flaenorol wedi methu â gweld y mater yma fel blaenoriaeth, mi fydd y Llywodraeth yma yn gweithredu gyda mwy o frys a ffocws i geisio ymateb i'r sefyllfa. Dwi'n gwybod bod y Dirprwy Weinidog trafnidiaeth yn edrych ar y mater hwn ar fyrder, ac mi fydd o'n falch iawn i ddod â datganiad llafar ymlaen i'r Senedd yr wythnos nesaf.
Official English translation
Thank you for the question. As one who was on the island, and one who is originally from Anglesey, and I was there for the Urdd Eisteddfod, yes, there was frustration, but, clearly, for the people on the island who live with this on a daily basis, and the uncertainty that they face, it is an issue that needs resolution, and I'm sure that the Member will have heard the comments made by the First Minister earlier during First Minister's questions this afternoon. People on Ynys Môn and across north Wales have been disappointed for far too long in terms of the resilience of the Menai crossings, and today proves once again why we need to find a solution. Whilst the previous Government had failed to see this issue as a priority, this Government will take action with more urgency and focus in order to try and respond to the situation. I know that the Deputy Minister for Transport is looking at this issue as a matter of urgency, and he will be pleased to bring an oral statement to the Senedd next week.

The Welsh Government respects the Supreme Court's judgment and is assessing the implication of the judgment and the Equality and Human Rights Commission's code of practice for devolved services and responsibilities in Wales. The judgment sets the current legal position, and work is under way to ensure devolved policy and practice remain compliant. The Welsh Government will continue to discharge its equality duties and expects all individuals to be treated with dignity and respect. We will support duty bearers to implement the law fairly, consistently and lawfully. But let me be absolutely clear from the outset: this Welsh Government remains steadfast in our commitment to inclusion. Trans people remain a valued part of our communities in Wales and continue to be protected in law from discrimination and harassment.

Diolch am y ddau gwestiwn. O ran y pwynt cyntaf, mi fyddwch chi'n ymwybodol, fel y gwnaethoch chi sôn, am yr ymchwiliad gan Archwilio Cymru. Yn sicr, mae swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru yn adolygu'r canfyddiadau a'r argymhellion yn llawn, ac yn diweddaru canllawiau cenedlaethol i gryfhau'r due diligence sydd ei angen a sicrhau bod trefniadau yn parhau i fod yn gadarn, yn gymesur ac yn gyson ledled Cymru. O ran Seren, mi fyddwch chi'n ymwybodol, yn ein cynllun 100 diwrnod cyntaf, y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn archwilio opsiynau ar gyfer diwygio Academi Seren i ganolbwyntio mwy ar fynd i'r afael â'r bwlch cyfranogiad, cefnogi dysgwyr o gymunedau mwyaf difreintiedig Cymru, yn ogystal â galluogi dysgwyr yn well i wneud cais i sefydliadau uwch yng Nghymru. Mae'r Dirprwy Weinidog dros Sgiliau ac Addysg Drydyddol yn bwriadu cyhoeddi datganiad ysgrifenedig ar y mater hwn maes o law.
Official English translation
Thank you for those two questions. On the first point, you will be aware, as you mentioned, of the inquiry by Audit Wales. Certainly, Welsh Government officials are reviewing the findings and recommendations in full, and are updating national guidance to strengthen the required due diligence in order to ensure that arrangements continue to be robust, proportionate and consistent across Wales. In terms of Seren, you will be aware that, in our first 100 days plan, the Welsh Government will look at options to reform the Seren Academy to focus more on tackling the participation gap, to support learners from our most deprived communities in Wales, as well as to better enable learners to make applications to higher education institutions in Wales. The Deputy Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education will make a written statement on this issue in due course.

Diolch yn fawr am y cwestiwn hwnnw. Mi fyddwch chi'n ymwybodol bod y Llywodraeth hon yn cydnabod gwerth y sector twristiaeth i Gymru a'n bod ni wedi ymrwymo i fod yn edrych ar hyn. Mae'r Gweinidog perthnasol yn y Siambr—mi fyddan nhw wedi clywed eich cais chi heddiw.
Official English translation
Thank you very much for that question. You'll be aware that this Government acknowledges the value of the tourism sector to Wales and that we are committed to look at this issue. The relevant Minister is in the Chamber—they will have heard your request today.

Diolch yn fawr iawn am godi mater mor eithriadol o bwysig. Rydych chi'n iawn: mae'r Gweinidogion perthnasol yma ac wedi clywed hynna'n uniongyrchol heddiw. Mi fyddwch chi'n ymwybodol o'r ffaith fod y Prif Weinidog wedi apwyntio Dirprwy Weinidog sydd yn edrych yn benodol ar y meysydd hyn o ymrwymiad y Llywodraeth hon i edrych ar sut rydyn ni'n gallu sicrhau, yn draws-bortffolio, ein bod ni'n gallu cefnogi pobl yn well. Dŷn ni hefyd yn gwerthfawrogi'r pwysau mawr sydd ar y trydydd sector, sydd yn gwneud gwaith gwyrthiol a phwysig, ond hefyd pa mor fregus ydy nifer o'r gwasanaethau hyn. Ac yn sicr, mae'n ffaith ein bod ni wedi clywed hynny'n glir—diolch i chi am ei godi o. Dwi'n siŵr y bydd y Gweinidogion eisiau bod yn ymwneud efo Aelodau sydd o'r farn dŷch chi wedi ei mynegi heddiw.
Official English translation
Thank you very much for raising such an important issue. You are right that the relevant Ministers are all here and have heard that directly today. You will be aware of the fact that the First Minister has appointed a Deputy Minister who looks specifically at these areas of this Government's commitment to look at how we can ensure, across portfolios, that we can support people better. We do appreciate also the huge pressures on the third sector, which does invaluable and important work, but also how vulnerable many of those services are. And certainly, it's a fact that we have heard that clearly—thank you for raising it. I'm sure that the Ministers will want to be working with Members who have the same views that you've expressed today.

Diolch am y cwestiwn ac am fynegi'r pryderon hyn. Mae yna nifer, wrth gwrs, wedi eu hamlygu, a dŷn ni'n deall, yn enwedig mewn ardaloedd gwledig, lle mae seilwaith trafnidiaeth yn anodd, pa mor bryderus ydy hyn. Fel y gwyddoch, mae'r bwrdd iechyd eisoes wedi gwneud y penderfyniad ar lawdriniaeth gyffredinol frys, ond nid ydy'r bwrdd iechyd wedi cyrraedd penderfyniad terfynol ar wasanaethau strôc eto. Felly, fe hoffem ni fel Llywodraeth fod yn atgoffa cleifion, teuluoedd a rhanddeiliaid i gymryd rhan yn yr ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus a fydd yn rhedeg am wyth wythnos. Mi fydd hyn yn rhoi cyfle ychwanegol a phwysig i randdeiliaid adolygu'r cynigion yn fanwl ac i godi unrhyw bryderon neu roi adborth pellach. Mae'n bwysig bod y pryderon ynghylch y cynigion gwreiddiol yn cael eu cydnabod, ac mae angen inni weld gwelliannau mewn gwasanaethau strôc, yn enwedig mewn ardaloedd gwledig. Fel y byddwch chi'n ymwybodol, y bwrdd iechyd sydd yn gyfrifol am gynllunio a darparu gwasanaethau i boblogaeth leol, ond wrth gyflawni'r rôl yma, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn disgwyl i fyrddau iechyd gynnal asesiadau trylwyr ar gyfer unrhyw newidiadau arfaethedig ac ymgysylltu â'u cymunedau yn unol â chanllawiau cenedlaethol. Mae'r Gweinidog Cabinet dros Iechyd a Gofal yn y Siambr—mi fydd o wedi clywed eich cais heddiw, ac mi fydd hefyd yn cyflwyno ei ddatganiad blaenoriaethau yn ddiweddarach heddiw, felly mae yna gyfle i holi ymhellach.
Official English translation
Thank you for the question and for expressing these concerns. There are a number, of course, who have drawn attention to these issues, and we understand, particularly in rural areas, where transport infrastructure is difficult, how concerning all of this can be. As you know, the health board has already made the decision on general urgent surgery, but the health board has not yet reached a final decision on stroke services. So, we would, as a Government, like to remind patients, families and stakeholders to participate in the public consultation that will run for eight weeks. This will provide an additional and important opportunity for stakeholders to review the proposals and to raise any concerns or to give further feedback. It is important that the concerns regarding the original proposals are recognised, and we need to see improvements in stroke services, particularly in rural areas. As you will be aware, it is the health board that is responsible for planning and providing services to the local population, but in delivering this role, the Government expects the health board to hold thorough assessments for any proposed changes and to engage with the communities in accordance with national guidance. The Cabinet Minister for Health and Care is in the Chamber—he will have heard your request today, and he will also be making his statement on priorities later today, so there's an opportunity to question further then.

Diolch am y cwestiwn hwnnw. Dwi'n gobeithio eich bod chi wedi clywed ymateb y Prif Weinidog yn gynharach a'r holl bethau y gwnaeth o ymrwymo iddyn nhw. Yn sicr, mae'r Gweinidog Cabinet perthnasol yma hefyd. Mae hwn yn fater rydyn ni'n ei gymryd o ddifrif. Dwi'n gobeithio eich bod chi wedi clywed hynny'n glir gan y Prif Weinidog. Ym amlwg, mi fydd yna gyfle i chi ymgysylltu'n bellach gyda'r Gweinidog Cabinet perthnasol.
Official English translation
Thank you for that question. I hope that you will have heard the First Minister's response earlier and all of the commitments that he made. Certainly, the relevant Cabinet Minister is here this afternoon. This is an issue that we take seriously. I hope you will have heard that clearly from the First Minister. Clearly, there will be an opportunity for you to engage further with the relevant Cabinet Minister.

Diolch i'r Aelod am y geiriau caredig ar ddechrau'r cwestiwn hwnnw. Yn sicr, mi fyddwch chi wedi clywed ymateb y Prif Weinidog yn gynharach y prynhawn yma ar y pwnc hwn. Mi fyddwch chi'n ymwybodol y bydd yna gyfle i roi cwestiynau i'r Gweinidog Cabinet perthnasol yr wythnos nesaf. Ond, gadewch i ni fod yn berffaith glir, o ran popeth sydd wedi'i ddweud ynghylch y maes hwn, mae hwn ynglŷn â'r amgylchedd, o ran sicrhau ein bod ni'n dilyn y wyddoniaeth. Doedd yna ddim cyhoeddiad na phenderfyniad pendant. Yr ymrwymiad oedd o ran adolygu. Yn sicr, mi fydd y Gweinidog Cabinet yn diweddaru, ac mi fyddwn ni yn derbyn cwestiynau pellach a sylwadau, wrth gwrs, holl Aelodau'r Siambr hon.
Official English translation
Thank you to the Member for those kind words at the beginning of that question. Certainly, you will have heard the response of the First Minister earlier this afternoon on this topic. You'll be aware that there'll be an opportunity to ask questions of the relevant Cabinet Minister next week. But, let's be perfectly clear, in terms of everything that has been said about this area, this relates to the environment, in terms of ensuring that we follow the science. There was no announcement or firm decision made. The commitment made was to review. The Cabinet Minister will be giving an update, and we will be taking further questions and comments, of course, from all Members of this Chamber.

Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae'n ddrwg gen i glywed bod hynny wedi digwydd. Yn sicr, mi fyddwn ni yn codi hynny. Mi ddylai pob Aelod fod yn ymwybodol, a diolch am fy wneud i'n ymwybodol. Doeddwn i ddim yn gwybod hynny, ac mae'n bwysig bod Aelodau yn sôn wrthyf i fel fy mod i'n gallu dod â datrysiad gerbron. Mi ydym ni, wrth gwrs, yn parchu pob Aelod yn y Siambr hon.FootnoteLink O ran y pwynt cyntaf, dwi'n gobeithio eich bod chi wedi gweld y bydd y Gweinidog Cabinet dros Addysg a'r Gymraeg yn dod â datganiad ar flaenoriaethau gerbron yn fuan. Yn amlwg, mae cyllid yn rhan bwysig o hyn. Rydyn ni yn deall y trafferthion y mae nifer o ysgolion wedi eu hwynebu. Mae hynny wedi bod yn wybyddus iawn drwy waith achos a'r holl gyfathrebu sydd wedi bod gan Aelodau i ni fel Llywodraeth a'r Llywodraeth flaenorol. Felly, yn sicr, mi fydd yna gyfle i holi'r Gweinidog Cabinet dros addysg yn fuan iawn ar y mater hwnnw.
Official English translation
Thank you very much. I'm sorry to hear that that happened. Certainly we will raise that. All Members should be aware of such visits, and thank you for making me aware of that. I did not know, and it is important that Members do tell me so that I can find solutions to these problems. We, of course, respect all Members in this Chamber.FootnoteLink In terms of the initial point, I hope that you will have seen that the Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language will bring forward a priorities statement soon. Clearly, funding is an important part of this. We do understand the difficulties faced by a number of schools. That has been well known through casework and all the communications that there have been from Members to this Government and the previous Government. So, certainly, there will be an opportunity to question the Cabinet Minister for education very soon on that issue.

O ran y cwestiwn, yn amlwg, mi fyddwn ni'n parchu'r penderfyniad a wnaed gan y Senedd ddiwethaf. Mae Deddf Gwahardd Rasio Milgwn (Cymru) 2026 yn darparu cyfnod pontio clir o fis Ebrill 2027 i 2030 i gefnogi dirwyn y diwydiant i ben yn drefnus. Mae'r amserlen hon â'r bwriad o alluogi busnesau a chymunedau sydd wedi'u heffeithio arnynt i gael mynediad at gymorth wedi ei dargedu wrth i newidiadau ddod i rym. Trwy'r grŵp gweithredu, mi fyddwn ni fel Llywodraeth yn gweithio'n agos gyda'r diwydiant i reoli effeithiau a darparu canllawiau ymarferol.
Official English translation
In terms of the question, clearly we will respect the decision made by the last Senedd. The Prohibition of Greyhound Racing (Wales) Act 2026 provides a clear transition period from April of 2027 to 2030 to support the winding up of the industry in an orderly manner. This timetable was put in place to enable the businesses and communities affected to access targeted support as the changes come into force. Through the action group, the Government will be working closely with the industry to manage the impacts and to provide practical guidance.

Wel, gaf i ddiolch i'r Aelod am godi mater o bwys mawr? Mae gwirfoddolwyr, wrth gwrs, yn chwarae rôl mor hanfodol ac allweddol, ac mi fyddwch chi wedi clywed nifer ohonon ni sydd rŵan yn y Cabinet pan oeddem ni yn yr wrthblaid yn mynegi pryder ynglŷn â diffyg cefnogaeth i sefydliadau a pha mor fregus oedd nifer o wasanaethau oherwydd yr angen am wirfoddolwyr, ond hefyd pa mor anodd ydy hi i wirfoddolwyr allu parhau yn y rolau hanfodol hyn. Mae'r Gweinidog perthnasol wedi clywed yr alwad yma. Dwi'n gwybod ei bod hi'n awyddus i gael cyfle i wneud datganiad ar hyn, ond, yn sicr, mi fedraf, yn ddiamwys, rhoi'r sicrwydd hwn i bob Aelod yma: ein bod ni'n gwerthfawrogi'r sector hwn yn fawr, ein bod ni'n diolch i bob gwirfoddolwr am y gwaith diflino maen nhw'n ei wneud yn ein cymunedau ni bob dydd, ac, yn sicr, mi welwch chi'r ymrwymiad hwnnw gan y Llywodraeth hon i'w cefnogi nhw.
Official English translation
Well, may I thank the Member for raising an issue of great importance? Volunteers, of course, play such a crucial role and a key role, and you will have heard many of us who are now in the Cabinet when we were opposition Members expressing concerns about the lack of support for these organisations and how vulnerable many services were because of the need for volunteers, but also because of how difficult it is for volunteers to continue in these crucial roles. The relevant Minister will have heard your call. I know that she is eager to have an opportunity to make a statement on this, but, certainly, I can tell you unambiguously, and all Members here, that we do appreciate this sector very much, that we thank every volunteer for the tireless work that they do in our communities every day, and, certainly, you will see that commitment to support them from this Government.
