    Ers blynyddoedd, mae ffermwyr wedi bod yn dweud wrthyf i ei bod hi'n mynd yn fwyfwy anodd i wneud bywoliaeth. Dwi'n gobeithio y bydd pethau yn newid, wrth gwrs, rŵan, efo Llywodraeth newydd Plaid Cymru. Un peth yr hoffwn i ei godi o'r pryderon hynny ddaeth i fy sylw i gan berchennog busnes yn fy etholaeth, sydd yn cael ei rhwystro yn ei hymdrechion i arallgyfeirio ar y ffarm, yw bod biwrocratiaeth, yn enwedig o ran cynllunio, wedi achosi oedi ac wedi costio miloedd o bunnoedd iddi. Hoffwn i godi pwynt cyffredinol ynglŷn â chael gwared ar y rhwystrau sy'n atal ffermydd rhag datblygu incwm amgen. Dylai ffermydd gael y cyfle i fod yn gynaliadwy. A ydy hwn yn rhywbeth sydd ar eich radar chi, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ac a fyddwch chi'n gweithio gyda rhanddeiliad i ddatrys rhai o'r problemau hynny?

    For years, farmers have been telling me that it's becoming more and more difficult to make a living. I am hopeful that that will change, of course, with a new Plaid Cymru Government in place. One thing I would like to raise in relation to those concerns expressed by a business owner in my constituency, who is being prevented in her efforts to diversify on the farm, is that bureaucracy has led to delays and has cost her thousands of pounds. So, I'd like to raise a general point on removing the barriers that prevent farmers from developing alternative sources of income. Farms should have an opportunity to be sustainable. Is that something that is on your radar, Cabinet Secretary, and will you be working with stakeholders in order to resolve some of those problems?

    Drefnydd, a gawn ni ddatganiad gan y Llywodraeth ynglŷn ag argyfwng pensiynau Capita a'r effaith mae'n ei chael ar weithwyr a phobl sydd wedi ymddeol yng Nghymru? Dwi'n gwybod bod nifer o bobl wedi cael eu heffeithio ganddo drwy'r oedi cyn derbyn eu taliadau pensiwn. Nid yw hynny'n cynnwys nifer o bobl sydd wedi cael eu hatal rhag ymddeol oherwydd oedi posib, na'r bobl sy'n methu cynllunio'n iawn am nad yw'r datganiadau pensiwn ar gael. Byddai datganiad yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr gan y bobl sydd wedi cael eu heffeithio.

    Trefnydd, can we have a Government statement on the Capita pensions crisis and the impact that it's having on workers and those who have retired in Wales? I know that many people have been impacted by this issue in terms of delays before they get pension payments. That does not include a number of people who've been prevented from retiring because of possible delays or people who can't plan properly because pension statements aren't available. So, a statement would be much appreciated by those affected by this issue.

    I'm grateful for the statement today, especially on the topic of the M4 relief road, which is a major talking point among my constituents. People would appreciate any further clarification that you could give on potential solutions to the bottlenecks that are experienced around the Brynglas tunnels, especially maybe some comments around the Burns stations. I also know that Plaid Cymru's Government agrees with me on the need to protect the Gwent levels. It's truly a unique site of special scientific interest landscape and has been described by some conservationists as the Amazon of Wales due to its rich diversity, so any comments that you could make on that would be very much appreciated. Finally, I'd like to know how you intend to engage with other interested parties, such as the local authorities, to come up with solutions that ensure that traffic flow in and around Newport is eased in the most cost-effective, efficient and sustainable way. Diolch yn fawr.

    Brif Weinidog, dros y chwe mis diwethaf, rydych chi'n gwybod fy mod wedi cael profiad personol iawn o feddyginiaeth frys ar ôl disgyn yng Nghasnewydd a rhwygo tendon yn fy mhen glin. Fe wnes i gael fy ngweld yn y royal Gwent, yn y Grange a wedyn cael llawdriniaeth yn St Woolos. Yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw, gwelais y gorau o fwrdd iechyd Aneurin Bevan, ond hefyd y pwysau aruthrol sydd ar y system. Roedd y staff yn broffesiynol ac yn garedig, ac yn gwneud eu gorau glas o dan amgylchiadau anodd iawn. Gwelais hefyd beth mae pwysau ar y system yn ei olygu i gleifion: arosiadau hir, diffyg capasiti, pwysau ar welyau. I fi, y peth mwyaf anodd i ddelio efo fo oedd yr ansicrwydd yn y cyfathrebu am beth sydd yn mynd i ddigwydd nesaf. Felly, Brif Weinidog, a ydych chi'n cytuno bod gwella gofal brys yng Nghasnewydd Islwyn yn golygu edrych ar daith gyfan y claf, nid jest y targedau, a bod cyfathrebu'n glir yn fewnol rhwng adrannau a gyda chleifion a theuluoedd yn rhan annatod o wneud yn siŵr bod pobl yn cael eu trin gydag urddas o'r dechrau i'r diwedd?

    First Minister, over the past six months, you know that I've had personal experience of emergency treatment after falling in Newport and tearing a tendon in my knee. I was seen at the royal Gwent, and then at the Grange, and then at St Woolos. I saw the best of the Aneurin Bevan health board at that time, but also the huge pressures on the system. The staff were professional and kind, and they did their very best under very difficult circumstances. I also saw what the pressures on the system mean for patients: long waits, lack of capacity, pressure in terms of beds. For me, the hardest thing to deal with was the difficulty in communication in terms of what would happen next. So, First Minister, do you agree that improving emergency care in Casnewydd Islwyn means looking at the entire patient journey, not just the targets, and that clear communication internally between departments and with patients and families is an inextricable part of ensuring that people are treated with dignity from the beginning to the end of their journey?
