Mae’n rhaid cyflwyno Cwestiynau Ysgrifenedig bum diwrnod gwaith o leiaf cyn y maent i gael eu hateb. Yn ymarferol, mae’r Gweinidogion yn ceisio ateb rhwng saith ac wyth diwrnod, ond nid yw’n orfodol iddynt wneud hynny. Cyhoeddir yr atebion yn yr iaith y’u cyflwynir ynddi, gyda chyfieithiad i’r Saesneg o ymatebion a roddir yn y Gymraeg.

Gofyn i'r Gweinidog Cyllid

Russell George (Sir Drefaldwyn): A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddweud wrthyf pa berthynas sydd rhwng amcanion y Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol ac amcan Consortiwm Prynu Cymru? (WAQ67157)

Russell George (Sir Drefaldwyn): A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddweud wrthyf a oes unrhyw orgyffwrdd uniongyrchol rhwng gwaith y Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol a gwaith Consortiwm Prynu Cymru? (WAQ67158)

Weinidog Cyllid (Jane Hutt): NPS and WPC work on a complimentary and co-operative basis and all WPC contracts within the remit of NPS are in the process of being transferred to NPS. However the respective terms of reference and objectives do differ.

NPS undertakes procurements for ’All-Wales’ contracts and frameworks available to be used by all public sector organisations in Wales. NPS will manage common and repetitive spend of around £1.8 billion out of a total Wales procurement spend of £4.3 billion (based on 2010/11 spend analysis).

WPC membership comprises of 19 local authorities and co-ordinates collaborative procurement delivered through individual lead authorities on behalf of the whole of its membership.

NPS ultimate goal is delivery of at least £25m annual savings once fully operational. NPS’s scope includes 6 Super Categories, with sub-categories under each one. Super Categories are ICT & Telecoms; Construction and Facilities Management; People Services; Fleet; Professional Services, Corporate Services and Utilities. WPC will now move its focus to spend on those categories outside scope of NPS, such as Social Care.

NPS will become self funded, through a levy on spend going through contracts and frameworks, whereas WPC are funded annually through direct contributions by local authority members.

Gofyn i’r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol

Kirsty Williams (Brycheiniog a Sir Faesyfed): A yw’r Llywodraeth wedi cynnal adolygiad o bolisi 'Chwythu’r Chwiban Cymru Gyfan’, ac os felly, pa bryd y dechreuodd yr adolygiad, neu pa bryd y bydd yn dechrau, a pha bryd rydych chi'n disgwyl i'r adolygiad orffen? (WAQ67155)

Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Mark Drakeford): Whistleblowing policy for the NHS in Wales is regularly re-assessed and I can confirm that the latest review started in March. It is being taken forward through the Welsh Partnership Forum to ensure full engagement with NHS Employers, Trade Unions and staff associations. The Forum also provides an appropriate mechanism for securing agreement on the outcomes of the review.

At the same time work is being undertaken by the Older Persons Commissioner in this field. Its outcome will be of particular interest and I am keen to avoid placing an artificial deadline for completion of the latest review of the All Wales policy. I do however expect significant progress to have been made by September and will be happy to provide further information then.

Gofyn i Gomisiwn y Cynulliad

Russell George (Sir Drefaldwyn): A wnaiff y Comisiwn roi dadansoddiad o faint sydd wedi ei wario ar fesurau diogelwch ar ystâd y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol dros y tair blynedd ariannol ddiwethaf? (WAQ67156)
