Cwestiynau i’r Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
Weinidog, fel y gwyddoch, rwyf wedi siarad â chi am hyn ymhell cyn i mi ddod yma, ynglŷn â pha mor ddinistriol yw'r clafr i'n ffermwyr ledled Cymru. Rydym wedi clywed gennych heddiw pa mor dynn yw cyllidebau Llywodraeth Cymru, ond gwn eich bod yn ymwybodol…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Aeth datganiad hydref y DU gryn ffordd i helpu pobl â phwysau costau byw: toriad i yswiriant gwladol, un o'r toriadau treth mwyaf mewn cenhedlaeth; y cynnydd i'r isafswm cyflog; a hefyd, budd-daliadau cynyddol yn unol â chwyddiant, sy'n rhywbeth yr ydym ni…

Dadl Fer: Pwysigrwydd rygbi llawr gwlad mewn cymunedau
Y clybiau hyn—. Gallwn enwi un neu ddau ohonynt oherwydd fy mod i wedi chwarae yn y rhan fwyaf o lefydd, Jack. [Chwerthin.] Mae'r clybiau hyn yn bair i ddoniau ifanc, lle mae ethos gwaith caled, disgyblaeth a chyfeillgarwch yn cael ei annog. Y lefel llawr…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Busnesau bach
Busnesau bach sy'n diffinio tirwedd economaidd a diwylliannol fy etholaeth i sef Brycheiniog a Sir Faesyfed. Wrth inni deithio drwy strydoedd hardd a bryniau tonnog fy etholaeth, daw'n amlwg fod y busnesau hyn yn gwneud mwy na chyfrannu at ein heconomi leol…

Okay. A final question, Cadeirydd, if that's okay, and it's on free school meals. It's something that you've advocated for in the past, and also the role that a free school meal perhaps for secondary-age children—. I just wonder, have you made any progress on…

Do you think the new curriculum could help in this? Do you think schools are making full use of the new curriculum to actually find new ways of engaging learners, and actually having a curriculum that is enjoyable for pupils as well, and fits the demographic…

Getting children back into the classroom, it is an urgent issue, but making sure that when they're actually in the classroom they're getting a top-class education is as well, isn't it? So, what recommendations have you put to Government around how we can…

Okay. I want to move on to the Programme for International Student Assessment results, if that's okay. They're due to be announced now on 5 December. It's probably looking like Wales is going to be the lowest of the UK league tables, again. Is this something…

So, do you think that mental health, ALN and poverty are the main causes, or do you think there are any other causes for absenteeism in our schools?

Craffu ar Adroddiad Blynyddol Comisiynydd Plant Cymru 2022-23
Okay. Thank you. Moving on to another area now, which is pupil absence, pupil absence has been stable for the last five years—about 94 per cent-ish. It's gone down now, to 88 per cent. The Welsh Government announced measures to try and address absenteeism in…

Yes. On your casework, we're getting evidence from families who say they need to have assessments—I mentioned it to the education Minister—so they can actually can get any support put in place at all from the school. Is that something you're seeing coming…

One of the questions I do have—and you mentioned it earlier—is about additional learning needs. One of your aims for the office and priorities was about the effectiveness and the consistency of the application of the new ALN reforms. So, I'm just interested…

I have a really quick question. How seriously do you think the Welsh Government take the role of the Children's Commissioner for Wales? Because I get frustrated at every one of these sessions we have, I'll be honest. You've made recommendations on policy…

In terms of casework, that you actually don't have enough influence and power, really, to make a difference. I know it sounds a bit of a put-down, in a way, but I'm trying to be honest. I know somebody who came to me who had looked at you as a children's…

In terms of the number of people who access your office, do you think it could be fewer numbers accessing your office because they don't think your office has enough teeth to actually make a difference to the problems that they have?

A yw plant a phobl ifanc anabl yn cael mynediad cyfartal at addysg a gofal plant? - sesiwn dystiolaeth 13
There are other questions from the online advisory group, but I think the Ministers have answered those in response to other questions. Diolch, Gadeirydd.

And a question that came from the advisory group again was about the length of time people have got to wait on waiting lists for a neurodiverse sort of diagnosis. So, I'd just be interested to go a bit further on that—what are the Government doing and what…
