Fe wnaeth Mike Hedges godi hyn gyda mi wrth graffu ar y pwyllgor yr wythnos diwethaf, pan oeddem yn craffu ar yr ail gyllideb atodol. Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i fynd i ffwrdd a chanfod pa wybodaeth ychwanegol y gallwn ei darparu ar gyfer y rhai sy'n ymwneud â'r hyn…

Er gwaethaf y cyd-destun hwn, rwy'n parhau i fod yn falch bod ein dull yn dal i fod wedi'i seilio ar sicrhau bod pob punt sy'n cael ei buddsoddwyd yn cael yr effaith gadarnhaol fwyaf. Rydym wedi cyflwyno cyllideb sy'n cydnabod yr angen i gydbwyso effeithiau…

Diolch, Llywydd. Rwy'n falch o agor y ddadl ar ein cyllideb derfynol 2023-24. Fel yr amlinellais wrth gyhoeddi ein cyllideb ddrafft, heb os, mae hon yn gyllideb a wnaed mewn cyfnod anodd ar gyfer cyfnod anodd. Mae'n adlewyrchu cyfyngiadau ein setliad cyllido…

Llywydd, diolch i chi am y cyfle i agor y ddadl hon ar y penderfyniad ynglŷn â chyfraddau treth incwm Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24. Cyflwynwyd cyfraddau treth incwm Cymru ym mis Ebrill 2019 ac maen nhw'n berthnasol i incwm nad yw'n incwm o gynilion nac o ddifidend…

Craffu ar Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23
When we set that budget, we had really no concept of what was coming down the line in terms of the war in Ukraine and also the impacts then on energy prices. So, with hindsight, I think that had we known what was coming then we would have been able to factor…

I think that's a really difficult question, given that this year has been so exceptional in the sense that, when we set the draft budget last year—so, I'm assuming we're talking about the current financial year—

So, for the purposes of the supplementary budget, obviously, the only additional funding is in relation to the exceptional energy costs and the COVID-19 measures. I think the enormity of the question that you've just asked—[Laughter.]—warrants a more detailed…

The health Minister will hold funding within her MEG to offset deficits within the NHS organisations. There are no specific allocations to the health and social services MEG to support deficits. This is a management choice that the health Minister will…

I think we do publish an awful lot of data, I'll double-check what gaps there might be in terms of what we've published. I know we've previously agreed to draw more attention to the work of the finance sub-group, for example, and the distribution sub-group in…

I would say that the level of reserves held by local authorities is as a result of a number of things, including the spending choices that those authorities make, and the choices they make around the level of council tax that they apply to their local…

Well, I think, I'd just recognise that local authorities had a very good settlement—exceptionally good—of 9.4 per cent in this financial year. So, I think that they were, at least initially, well placed to meet the challenges. I know that what went from being…

So, the funding that you see in the supplementary budget and that has been provided all through this year, in fact, supports the welcome centres and the other initial accommodation as well as the wraparound services for people to make sure that they're…

I think that funding follows the individual to the authority. My colleague Jane Hutt can provide a more detailed briefing on this. But, I will say we are concerned about the reduction of the tariff funding for new arrivals, from £10,500 a year to £5,900 a…

So, the £74.4 million from the UK Government, that's in the form of integration tariffs, education tariffs and thank-you payments. So, certainly the integration and the education tariffs go directly to local authorities following that individual. So, the…

I think that some local authorities have found it hard, because there have been places where large numbers of people have wanted to settle, and, obviously, the pressures on local housing are already extreme. So, just being able to support people into the kind…

So, we did fund in full the costs of the welcome centres, the initial accommodation and the contact centres, and, in some local authorities, those arrival hubs that I talked about; they weren't in every one. So, we fully funded that, but I just want to…
