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.

Weinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Mark Drakeford): One of my officials gave a presentation to Welsh representatives of the British Institute of Embalmers and National Association of Funeral Directors in October 2013. There was a very positive discussion at the meeting about how we may engage with the sector on the new organ donation legislation and this will form part of our engagement strategy over the next two years.

Mark Drakeford: Management information giving the number of operations carried out since January 2012 is shown in the table below.
The data collection changed in April 2013 to report all admitted procedures, and management information giving the total number of procedures carried out since April 2013 is in the table below. As Health Boards were migrating to the new data collection system, no data was available for February and March 2013.
Darren Millar (Gorllewin Clwyd): Fesul Bwrdd Iechyd Lleol, a wnaiff y Gweinidog ddatganiad am nifer y llawdriniaethau a ohiriwyd neu a ganslwyd gan GIG Cymru ym mhob mis ers mis Ionawr 2012? (WAQ66694)

Mark Drakeford: The number of operations postponed since January 2012 is shown in the tables below. This covers all postponements, including patient postponements, which account for approximately 40% of the total, hospital clinical postponements, which account for 30% of the total, and hospital non-clinical postponements, which make up the remaining 30%.
A new data collection was introduced in April 2013 to cover postponed admitted procedures. This new measure better reflects the wide range of treatments patients undergo within the NHS beyond what could be described as an operation, and would account for the rise in the numbers reported. Again, this data covers all postponements, including patient, hospital clinical and hospital non-clinical. No data was available for February and March 2013 as Health Boards were migrating to the new system.

Gofyn i’r Gweinidog Cyfoeth Naturiol a Bwyd
Byron Davies (Gorllewin De Cymru): Pa fesurau sydd ar waith mewn achosion pan fydd ‘gollyngiadau’ o safleoedd carthffosiaeth i bysgodfeydd, a pha dargedau a mesurau cosbi sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru sy’n ymwneud â gollyngiadau? (WAQ66687)
Derbyniwyd ateb ar 16 Ebrill 2014
Weinidog Cyfoeth Naturiol a Bwyd (Alun Davies): When accidental or illegal spillages occur, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) take action to minimise any damage to the environment. They theninvestigate to establish who is responsible and the extent of the damage caused, and determine what further action might be appropriate, including prosecution if required.
NRW permit sites for sewerage discharges (“spillages”), and set targets that have to be complied with. The majority of permitted sites are owned by the public water companies and as part of their Environmental Performance Assessment they agree targets with Ofwat for reducing the number of pollution incidents caused by their assets.
NRW and Ofwat can take enforcement action if these targets are exceeded, which can lead to prosecution and a financial penalty imposed by the courts.

Alun Davies: Detailed matters on cockle gathering within the Burry Inlet, including communication with the gatherers, are primarily a matter for Natural Resources Wales as the grantee of the Burry Inlet Cockle Fishery Order 1965. There are some complex legal issues regarding the draft management plan for the Burry Inlet Cockle Fishery Order which need to be resolved. I expect to do be able to finalise this soon. My officials are in discussion with Natural Resources Wales on matter, and with representatives of the cockle industry on an ongoing basis.
