We've got to also remember that this is a framework Bill. It leaves a lot of the further work in the hands of the Government, and the Government can decide, as long as it achieves the expectations of the goal, how it wants to resource areas and how much they…

The team worked really hard in trying to pull the finance together, and the Scottish model was very helpful in putting together those costings. Now, costings, by their very nature, at this stage are always going to be quite extreme and not exact. They're…

It's been really helpful, this whole consultation process, and what we're already learning and hearing from stakeholders. And I've always been clear throughout that, where things absolutely make sense, we'll look to amend things. So, I recognise the pressures…

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 8
I was quite surprised to hear that, because this is so fundamentally important for society, for Wales, for food production, food sustainability, the food system in Wales. To suggest that these things shouldn't go ahead because you might not be able to hold an…

As a past council leader, I would respond in similar ways to many things, when I was approached initially with them, but the costs I've estimated for the Bill were informed by discussions with representatives from Welsh local authorities and health boards…

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 8
Well, no—. Absolutely what we're trying to do here, and what I wanted to do, is to bring some clarity across the whole policy framework here in Wales at the moment, because it's disjointed. Many policy areas don't talk to each other. They're very well meaning…

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 8
No, I've had no further discussions. I'm still hopeful that, through this process, which has been going on a long time, the Minister—and I thank her for her engagement, not only with me to date, but also through the committee structures—. I'm grateful to the…

Well, I would expect a food and drink federation to come with those sorts of views. It has to speak for its members as a union might speak for its members. Any concerns that it might put additional pressure on retailers, or whatever, obviously flows through…

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 8
Well, I totally believe it will make a difference, but I absolutely agree that there are no quick fixes to the issues we set out in the EM. Many of the issues that we are grappling with have evolved over many years, hence the need to have some legislation in…

Bil Bwyd (Cymru): Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 8
Well, we only got to see the letter, where I know that the past Chair had asked the Minister to describe how she believed current policies were aligned to food goals—. I haven't had a real opportunity to study it in great depth, but I think what it…

Gallwn fod wedi gorffen gynnau, Cadeirydd. Felly, gyda'r holl bethau rydw i wedi'u rhannu, mae gennyf ofn na fydd y grŵp hwn yn cefnogi'r gyllideb hon heddiw am yr holl resymau hynny.

Pam mae Llafur a Phlaid wedi hoelio'u sylw'n llwyr ar wastraffu dros £100 miliwn ar fwy o wleidyddion yn y lle hwn, yn hytrach na mynd i'r afael â'r trafferthion go iawn y mae llawer o bobl Cymru yn eu hwynebu? Mae angen i bethau fod yn wahanol. Yn hytrach na…

Rhaid i ni beidio ag anghofio, am bob £1 sy'n cael ei wario ar y gwasanaeth iechyd yn Lloegr, cafodd Llafur £1.20 ar gyfer Gymru. A'r un peth ym maes addysg: £1 yn Lloegr, £1.20 yng Nghymru. Eto i gyd, fe wyddom, yng Nghymru, hyd yn oed cyn y pandemig, mai…

A gaf i ddechrau drwy ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei datganiad eto? Fel arweinydd cyngor yn y gorffennol, gwn na fyddai llawer o'r penderfyniadau sydd wedi eu gwneud gan y Gweinidog wedi bod yn hawdd. Fodd bynnag, mae gormod yn y gyllideb hon yn methu'r targed…

Diolch i chi, Gweinidog, am y datganiad yna. Fel rwy'n siŵr y gwyddoch chi, Gweinidog, gweithwyr Cymru sy'n mynd adref â'r pecynnau cyflog isaf yn y Deyrnas Unedig—swm rhyfeddol o £3,000 yn llai na'r rhai cyffelyb yn yr Alban. Y ffaith seml yw y byddai unrhyw…

It was just recognising the huge pressures we've got in the health service at the moment; we're seeing 75,000 people on those patient pathways. We're not meeting the targets of no-one waiting on a waiting list for a set period. I just wondered what the Welsh…

And I know this committee has made a recommendation before that you look at the amount of reserves and try to understand better why some of those have been held for such long times with no plans to be drawn down.

Craffu ar Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23
No, I won't go on about reserves. I think it's a given that the situation over the last couple of years has allowed many authorities to accumulate significant reserves, and we've had that conversation apart. But I think the underlying concern I have is that…

Okay. I'll move on to my last question. During this committee's scrutiny of the draft budget 2023-24, we heard about the pressures local authorities were under. I just wondered what consideration had been given to providing additional funding in the…
