Ac eto, ym maes iechyd, rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig cydnabod nad oes gostyngiad yn ein darpariaeth rheng flaen ar gyfer iechyd meddwl. Rydym ni wedi clywed am y ffaith nad ydym ni wedi gallu codi'r gyllideb £15 miliwn fel yr oeddem ni wedi'i fwriadu, ond…

Rydym yn gwneud ein penderfyniadau ein hunain ynghylch cyfraddau treth incwm Cymru a threthi eraill sydd wedi'u datganoli i ni, er enghraifft, ac yna mae'n rhaid i ni gytuno, fel Cabinet, ein dyraniadau prif grŵp gwariant diwygiedig ar gyfer yr holl…

Rydym wedi canolbwyntio cyllid er mwyn buddsoddi mwy yn y GIG ac i ddiogelu'r setliad llywodraeth leol craidd, sydd yn ei dro yn ariannu ysgolion, gwasanaethau cymdeithasol, a'r gwasanaethau beunyddiol hanfodol eraill yr ydym yn dibynnu arnynt. Rydym wedi…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
So, overall, we are experiencing a loss worth around £1.1 billion, but we've also had the issues where the UK Government's approach to those tail receipts for EU funding has had an impact on our budgets as well. I know we've had quite extensive discussions…

Well, we're experiencing a loss in replacement of EU structural and rural funds worth around £1.1 billion. So, there's just no way on earth we can fill that gap in its entirety. We have still tried to maintain our commitment, though, to apprenticeships. So…

So, a few things, just to say, and just to highlight the distributional impact assessment that's been done of the budget as well, which shows that, overall, the budget is a progressive one and that we do provide the greatest share of our resources towards…

So, the housing support grant has been protected at £166.7 million. I appreciate that's less than the sector would wish. They would be very keen to see an increase. But, as I set out at the start, the particular grant did see a significant increase at the…

So, we've been really careful to maintain our allocation of £38.5 million for the discretionary assistance fund. We know that that helps people across Wales who are facing some quite dire circumstances, and it gives them emergency access to financial support…

So, some authorities—. I don't think any authority was that low last year, and the overall uplift last year was 7.9 per cent. So, we were in a much better place. And I think it was 9.3 per cent the year before. So, each year, that's been baselined into the…

So, I wouldn't want this to set a precedent or expectations for the future. I think that the current circumstances are, hopefully, quite unique in terms of the pressures local authorities are facing.

No, it hasn't been top-sliced. We did look at what that would mean for authorities to see, if we were to take it through the revenue support grant and redistribute in that sense, but, when it came to it, I thought, you know, we've made the commitment about…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Yes. So, in keeping the commitment to the 3.1 per cent for local government overall, when we ran the figures to see what that would mean locally through the local government funding formula, there were two authorities that fell below 2 per cent, and I thought…

So, schools funding and social care funding form the two largest parts of the local government budgets, which are set locally in response to those local needs. Those two areas, I think, will continue to be the main areas and I think we need to be realistic…

So, the health Minister will set out the level of detail in the evidence that she provides to the health committee in the Senedd, but I know that, in that, she’d want to highlight the planned care transformation budget to support those local and national…

I don't want to overpromise in terms of what the additional funding will deliver within the NHS, because we know that the NHS is still going to be under significant pressure even with the choices that we've made. But what it does do is give the NHS a fighting…

So, in terms of the real living wage, that would be included in the settlement that’s been provided to local government—this is the real living wage for social care workers, which was one of our commitments. There is no specific funding available to support…
