Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Rwy'n croesawu bod llawer wedi cael ei wneud yn y gogledd gyda'r cyllid cyfyngedig, o ran ymestyn unedau mân anafiadau yn ein hysbytai cymunedol, canolfan orthopedig newydd sy'n cael ei hadeiladu eleni, ac mae gennym ni'r ysgol feddygol yn y gogledd. Ond…

Can I just—? There's one thing I'd like you to take up with the local government and housing Minister, okay? Some of the sites they rent from councils—the council sites, as well. They're not given the same priority as social housing, so they've reported…

With another committee, we visited some sites, and they're very often on the outskirts, not in communities or where they can have access to community provision. On one site, they just wanted a play area—they asked for a play area and the local authority used…

Are you talking to local authorities to increase the bids?

Craffu cyffredinol ar waith Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Ddiwylliant a Chyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Yes. Could you provide me with an update regarding any bids that have been received and when they will actually be given out to local authorities to provide sites? What are you doing to address the lack of progress with them?

It's just about the Welsh benefits system. The Welsh Government has established a steering group. Do you know when this is expected to be completed, the plan, when it's supposed to be getting into place? And also, the First Minister's leadership manifesto…

Okay. But it's an issue that needs looking at as to how it's tied up.

Poverty issues seem to have grown as people have changed from the old benefits system of tax credits to the universal credit system, and they seem to not be able to have as much in benefits any more. And then, they're not able to access other grants. And…

I think that's what people want to see more of—that benefit coming forward. Regarding ensuring that there's advice, the single advice fund has been really helpful for voluntary councils, but they are struggling, I know, to deal with all the calls that are…

We have huge windfarms off north Wales, don't we, and they have funding. So, it's making sure people can access that funding as well, whether it's through councils or through voluntary organisations and citizens advice bureaux. They could be used, couldn't…

I'm just asking questions about fuel poverty and having warm, energy-efficient homes as well. So, very often, you see adverts popping up on Facebook saying, 'You can apply for this funding and that.' It's complicated as well, isn't it? But heating a home is…

No, I'm not saying that. I'm not. Sorry. I'm not saying that; all I'm saying is: how can we get them out of that poverty? Because, in this document, it says that we need to put more money in people's pockets. I get that. That's going to take a while, but how…

I know I'm going off on a tangent here, I'm sorry, but I was keen to know how it's measured, you see.

Because, earlier, we talked about access to culture, to sport, for disadvantaged communities. When we did that—. I was on the culture committee, and access to sport for a disadvantaged community was access to that play area, and having a leader in that…

Sorry. I'm new to this committee. What is the measure of child poverty? Is it low-income households or is it access to food, to play, to good education, to a warm home? Are they being measured in different ways in Scotland than here, or—?

We did discuss this at committee, and—[Inaudible.]—which is appreciated. But I pointed out that the notices, even with my glasses on, I couldn't read them. They were so small and at the back of the paper, not where people might find them very often. And this…

I'm interested to hear about using pubs for the collecting of DRS, because I know that shops were concerned about space, weren't they? I know that Iceland was concerned, when they were looking at rolling it out in Scotland—having space in their…

Thank you. Regarding the delay of the deposit-return scheme and the extended producer responsibility, has that had an impact on businesses, do you think? What's the feeling there? Do you think that they're concerned about it, or concerned about recycling…

Are many businesses using local authorities? Because they're set up for the municipal waste, aren't they, for household waste collections, and I think they were concerned about adding businesses to rounds and having enough vehicles and enough collectors. Is…

Would it be used just for England to catch up first, where Wales has already invested, so Wales won't see the benefit? That's my concern.
