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.

Y Dirprwy Weinidog Threchu Tlodi (Vaughan Gething): The additional £1 million allocated to the Flying Start capital programme for 2013-14 formed part of the £13 million budget for the year which was used to fund more than 140 capital projects across Wales.

The four year capital expansion programme (2012-16) is ensuring that we have the infrastructure in place to meet our commitment to deliver all four core elements of the Flying Start programme to 36,000 children aged under 4 years and their families by 2016. To date we have committed more than £28 million to 226 projects and these have varied in size and complexity from £27,500 for a project in Holyhead which involved adapting a school classroom to create a new childcare setting; to £537,591 for a new build which has created a complete Flying Start setting in Blackmill, Bridgend which comprises a childcare setting, office accommodation for the multi agency Flying Start team and a venue to run parenting courses as well as early language and play sessions. These projects would not have been able to go ahead if the £13 million budget had not been made available.
