Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Y Prif Weinidog
Roeddwn yn falch o beidio â chefnogi'r bleidlais o ddiffyg hyder yn Lee Waters pan oedd yn Ddirprwy Weinidog trafnidiaeth. Roeddwn yn falch o bleidleisio yn erbyn pleidlais o ddiffyg hyder yn ein Gweinidog iechyd, Eluned Morgan, sydd wedi gwneud gwaith…

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol
Diolch. Yn ddiweddar, cyfarfûm â merch i etholwr, ei thad, a fu farw yn aros am ambiwlans yn 2022. Yn dilyn hynny, fe wnaeth y ferch gŵyn i Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru ynghylch y ffordd y cafodd yr alwad ei thrin. Canfu'r ombwdsmon fod yr alwad 999…

Datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg: Ymgynghoriad ar y Flwyddyn Ysgol
Roeddwn i eisiau canolbwyntio ar effeithiau'r hyn y gallai'r newid fod wedi ei olygu. Fe wnes i bostio fideo ar fy nhudalen Facebook yn gofyn i bobl sy'n byw yng Nghaerffili am eu barn, ac roedd yn gymysg iawn, sy'n adlewyrchu'r ymatebion a gawsoch. Un o'r…

Dadl: Adroddiad Ymchwiliad Gwaed Heintiedig
Rwy'n cofio'r diwrnod wyth mlynedd yn ôl, roeddwn i'n eistedd wrth ymyl Julie Morgan yn y Siambr hon, ac ychydig ar ôl amser cinio, fe ddywedodd hi, 'Mae yna grŵp trawsbleidiol yr wyf i'n ei gadeirio, a wnewch chi ddod i gwrdd â rhai o'ch etholwyr chi sydd…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Roeddwn i'n darllen y diwrnod o'r blaen am y gronfa diogelu at y dyfodol y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei chyflwyno. A all ef roi mwy o fanylion i ni am sut y bydd hynny o fudd i fusnesau mewn meysydd fel y sectorau manwerthu a hamdden yng Nghaerffili, Ystrad…

No, we're not worried about the supplementary budget in February. That will be a tidying-up exercise that's more likely to be, actually, returning money than spending it. But you don't want to be in the position where you're returning money either; you want…

Cyllideb Atodol Gyntaf 2024-25: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chomisiwn y Senedd
Yes. But the important thing is that we still adhere to the principles of the Finance Committee. We need to do a piece of work to decide and present and show that there would be a saving from insourcing, and I think that needs to be a discussion we have more…

Cyllideb Atodol Gyntaf 2024-25: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chomisiwn y Senedd
I think the fact that the £315,000 was not required as a supplementary—it was done within the funds, and without recourse to the Welsh consolidated fund—is an example of that. The fact that we're coming to you now with this, additional to the supplementary…

That was done in the way I described earlier, in the £315,000. I was a county councillor for 10 years and I was elected in 2007, when the financial crisis hit, so all I've known is this. You set yourselves those principles from the beginning, don't you? I…

Without this, the next stage of trade union negotiations would be undermined, I think. I don't want to speak for Ed, because he's in the process of negotiating, so I will take the pressure off Ed; he's got a job to do. But as far as I'm concerned, if we don't…

My first answer, having known about this, having studied this area, is it's inevitable that existing staff will then be stretched—it's inevitable that that's the case. But I don't want to speak for the head of paid service, because that is a staff management…

Interestingly, one of the first things I asked when I was elected as a Commissioner was for an organogram, a structure of the organisation. I wanted to understand clearly how this Commission organisation is structured. I think there are 531 staff, and what…

Yes, absolutely. I think the only way you can do that, as you said, is with dialogue. I was telling Manon yesterday I wrote a whole PhD and I visited the library about three times in the time I wrote it. All the resources were electronic and available that…

I think the Senedd Commission staff should be given credit as well, and my predecessor, Ken Skates, and the whole Commission team, actually, for finding that in the budget without recourse to additional requests on the Welsh consolidated fund. I think it's…

The problem with inflation is that it's a movable figure. The Office for National Statistics have made a prediction today. You've got to be able to have flexibility in your budget in order to account for inflationary changes. We had that flexibility in the…

I don't want to anticipate the draft budget, and, as I've said, I've come to this in the last month or so. So, those kinds of discussions, historically, I've not been party to. I'm more than happy to have discussions with Members about what they think should…

So, the ask from the trade unions was to bring this parity together, and, as a Labour Member, and speaking not as a Commissioner, I think that’s absolutely right, the right thing to do. But, as a Commissioner, there was a responsible way of going about that…

Well, you'd have to look at—. For example, security infrastructure would involve the CCTV system, things like that. It needs continual maintenance and renewal, and, if you don't do that, then there's a danger it doesn't work. So, that's one thing. Scrutiny of…

I think that's a fair question. Other public services are under the same level of pressure, but the £315,000 was to address inflation, and it did its job. So, you're not going to be able to use any of that money. That money has been not strictly spent, but it…

No. It's not strictly the delaying of filling vacancies, it's just taking your time to go through the process—so, the external advertising, the appointments and that process was taken to its maximum. So, it wasn't that you weren't filling vacancies, you were…
