Datganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol: Diweddariad ar COVID-19
Rwy'n croesawu safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru o ran mabwysiadu dull synhwyrol o lacio cyfyngiadau COVID ar sail y dystiolaeth, oherwydd, fel dywedodd y Gweinidog eisoes, nid yw COVID wedi diflannu ac mae hi'n dal i fod yn anodd iawn rhagweld ei gwrs. Rwy'n…

Mae fy etholwr, Evelyn, a'i mam, Jacqui, wedi cysylltu â mi, ar ôl cael sioc a bod yn hynod siomedig o ddarganfod y bydd Undeb Rygbi Cymru, o fis Medi 2022, yn atal merched rhag chwarae rygbi cymysg dan 12 oed a dan 13 oed. Mae Evelyn yn chwaraewr rhagorol…

Cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog
Diolch, Prif Weinidog, ac rwy'n croesawu'r pecyn cymorth y mae mawr ei angen a roddwyd ar waith gan Lywodraeth Lafur Cymru, oherwydd yr wythnos diwethaf ymwelais â Splice Child and Family yn y Pîl, sy'n rhedeg banc babanod, a phantri cymunedol Baobab ym…

Brilliant. Thank you. And also would you—? I know we've touched on it a little bit including the rural, but could you just share any other examples that you've seen, where you think that certain types of homes are not being supported under the current…

Thank you, both. Thank you, Chair. Just to dig in a little bit more about the equality and social justice considerations from your perspective. So, just to kick off, we heard earlier on that some people—. You know, you have these works done, but there's also…

Wonderful, thank you. Matthew, that question as well.

Thank you. And then just to ask you as well about what your view would be on the benefit payments being discounted from the income assessments so that it could be opened out to more people and the threshold could be raised?
14 Chwefror 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Tlodi tanwydd a’r rhaglen Cartrefi Clyd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you. And then, again, what do you think of what the Bevan Foundation has said about stopping the replacement of boilers and fixing the ones that are there, and also, moving past the fabric changes, is there anything else that's been a success?

Tlodi tanwydd a’r rhaglen Cartrefi Clyd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
That's brilliant, thank you so much. Elliw, can I ask you the same in terms of Nest and Arbed not addressing the immediate need and, as I said, other local projects being praised for what they were able to do? Do you think that's a fair assessment?
14 Chwefror 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Tlodi tanwydd a’r rhaglen Cartrefi Clyd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you. And then, just to follow up, really, we also heard the Bevan Foundation call for the environmentally damaging practice of installing new boilers rather than fixing existing ones to be stopped immediately. So, do you agree with that, and then…

Thank you, Chair. I don't mind being called Sarah Merry, that's fine. [Laughter.] I'll come first to you, Matthew, if that's okay, just looking at the support under the current programme. So, I'll ask what I asked in the previous session: Localgiving found…

Tlodi tanwydd a’r rhaglen Cartrefi Clyd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Absolutely, and it kind of very much goes back to what you said at the beginning about the conception of this. Things have got a little bit muddled about what the focus of that was. Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.

Thank you very much. Victoria, was there anything you wanted to add on that? And also just, I suppose, a wider question as well, like how do you think, in the next scheme, the—[Inaudible.]—equality and social justice better?

And also you mentioned earlier on about people having to clear out the rooms and then having to leave them empty for a really long time with these kinds of things. But also, do you think the cost of enabling the works, then, should be factored into the next…

Yes. So, just looking at how a successor scheme could help advance equality and social justice, which you have touched on a lot throughout your answers, but just again to dig down into them a little bit—Jonathan, I just wanted to ask you how to address the…

Also, then, just because I asked Victoria this as well, do you think that benefit payments should be discounted from income assessments?

Thank you. That leads me on nicely, then, to my next question. The Energy Saving Trust is one of those who have said that they don't think that benefit payments should be included and so they should be discounted from income assessments so that more…
