Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Lywodraeth Leol a Thai
Diolch. Mae hynny i'w groesawu. A phe gallech ysgrifennu atom ar unwaith pan fyddwch yn gwybod hynny, byddai hynny'n wych er mwyn cael gwybod beth yn union yw'r sefyllfa. Fe wnaethoch chi ddisgrifio'r gyllideb hon fel cyllideb dda yn gynharach; mae’r Prif…

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Lywodraeth Leol a Thai
Ar y cwestiwn hwnnw—gofynnodd Jane Dodds yn gynharach a fyddai’n well gennych weld y cynnydd yswiriant gwladol yn cael ei ddileu. Ni chlywais ateb 'ie' neu 'na', ond efallai yr hoffech sôn am hynny hefyd. Er fy mod yn siŵr eich bod yn gobeithio y bydd holl…

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Lywodraeth Leol a Thai
Diolch, Lywydd. Hoffwn ddechrau drwy ddiolch i holl staff awdurdodau lleol Cymru—ein gofalwyr, ein criwiau atgyweirio ffyrdd, ein casglwyr biniau, staff swyddfa gefn a llawer iawn o bobl eraill. Mae'r gweithwyr hyn o dan bwysau cynyddol, yn darparu…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Yn gynharach y mis hwn, cyhoeddodd Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan ddigwyddiad critigol oherwydd pwysau parhaus. Nid oedd y cyhoeddiad hwn yn syndod i unrhyw un a oedd wedi bod yn dilyn y newyddion o'r ysbyty ers iddo agor ei ddrysau ddim ond ychydig…

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol
Buaswn yn mynd ymhellach nag Alun Davies, buaswn i'n dweud bod hyn yn sgandal, yr hyn sy'n digwydd gyda eHarleyStreet ym Mlaenau Gwent ac ar draws bwrdd iechyd Aneurin Bevan. Wrth gynrychioli'r ardal, bûm mewn cysylltiad â rhai o'r meddygon teulu—y 40 a mwy o…

Thank you so much for your time. As with all our witnesses this morning, we've run over time, but it's always because there's so much to say. We're very grateful to you for making the time. Obviously, as I mentioned earlier, there will be a transcript…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
Okay, thank you very much, and, finally, something that we should have talked about in a previous question, really. It's around the child poverty strategy that was published in 2024. Does this budget go far enough to support that strategy?
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
Okay, thank you. Just looking at something that's close to the heart of this committee, tax and stuff that we look at—and we take a keen interest in tax policy—are there any Welsh taxes that you think need a greater focus on? You had a conversation with Sam…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
Thank you for that. I know it's not necessarily your area of expertise on that aspect, but I appreciate your thoughts on that. A couple of questions to finish off, more around the budget improvement impact advisory group and how that engages with Welsh…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
Of course, yes. But from a broader point around gender budgeting and some of the things that Mike was talking about, transport in particular—. Generalising an awful lot, but women and older people, or women in particular, use more buses than trains, so maybe…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
Thanks, Sam. I've got a few questions just to finish off, and part of the question that I've got we've covered already, because I wanted to have a look at what the draft budget says around gender equality and childcare. Now, we've talked about Flying Start…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
Great. You were talking about demographics, and Mike was talking there about the distribution, and you talked a bit about older people, and we've talked about Flying Start, with younger people, and one of the things that the UK Government have done is the…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
I suppose bringing everybody around the table was the big benefit, to be able to thrash out some of this across organisations and experts.
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
Of course, yes.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
So, it was asking for a lot of money, and then the money being cut, I suppose. Or was it asking for changes in where money was being spent?
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
Right. Thanks for that. So, was it useful when it was running?
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 7
Thank you very much for that. Has the Wales expert group on the cost-of-living crisis had any engagement with the Welsh Government on the development of the draft budget, to be able to put some of these points to it, and are there any plans for the expert…

One of the things that we discussed yesterday, actually, in a statement by the Cabinet Secretary was the Welsh benefits charter. I don't know if you caught that discussion in Plenary yesterday, but there were lots of comments made. What are your views on that…
