Rhaid cyflwyno Cwestiynau Ysgrifenedig o leiaf bum diwrnod gwaith cyn y disgwylir iddynt gael eu hateb. Yn ymarferol, bydd Gweinidogion yn ceisio ateb o fewn saith neu wyth diwrnod ond nid oes rheidrwydd arnynt i wneud hynny. Caiff yr atebion eu cyhoeddi yn yr iaith y maent yn cael eu darparu, gyda chyfieithiad i'r Saesneg o ymatebion a ddarperir yn Gymraeg.

Y Prif Weinidog (Carwyn Jones): Cafodd ymchwiliad ei gynnal gan Gomisiynydd y Gymraeg yn ddiweddar, o dan adran 17 o Ddeddf yr Iaith Gymraeg 1993, ar benodi Comisiynydd Plant Cymru. Rydym yn derbyn yr adroddiad ac argymhellion Comisiynydd y Gymraeg. Mae swyddogion wedi cyfarfod â'r Comisiynydd i drafod sut y byddwn yn gweithredu ei hargymhellion. Ers hynny, rydym wedi diweddaru ein canllawiau ar benodiadau cyhoeddus i sicrhau bod yr angen am sgiliau iaith Gymraeg yn cael ei ystyried ar gychwyn y broses.

Dirprwy Weinidog Ffermio a Bwyd (Rebecca Evans): The LEADER Guidance for Local Action Groups explains that the LEADER will not "provide aid or other assistance that would constitute State aid in respect of a business, enterprise, undertaking or 'economic operator' receiving such support". This is in line with the recommendation of the LEADER Task and Finish Group and as the Groups are not going to run grant schemes there is no requirement for State aid cover to be in place.
It also states that: "The LEADER measure cannot be used to provide capital or revenue grants or other forms of direct or indirect assistance to commercial businesses". Provision to support this type of activity is made elsewhere in the Rural Development Programme for which state aid cover will be secured by Welsh Government and the Groups are able to access that provision.
My officials have offered to discuss any State Aid concerns with the 'One Powys' Local Action Group.

Welsh students studying social work are provided bursaries through the Care Council for Wales. The purpose of the bursary is to provide an incentive to prospective students so future demand for social workers is met in Wales. As such, the bursaries are available to Welsh students studying social work in Wales only.

Answer received on 2 July 2015
Mark Drakeford:
The Welsh Government is working with Public Health Wales to increase uptake of cervical screening in women aged 25 and 64 in Wales.
Uptake of cervical screening in Wales is 78.6% for women aged 25 to 64 (2013-14) – nearly eight out of 10 eligible women have had a smear test (with an adequate result) in the past five years.
Public Health Wales has set up a screening engagement team to raise awareness, promote informed choice and encourage people to make an informed decision about taking part in screening.
Targeted support is provided to primary care practices where coverage does not meet targets. Cervical screening is also promoted as part of the annual Screening for Life campaign and during European Cervical Cancer Prevention week through social media and community events.
Through our Cancer Delivery Plan, the Welsh Government has prioritised early diagnosis of cancer. The cancer implementation group is involved in work which will help to identify patients earlier, including a five-year primary care oncology programme to help GPs and nurses develop expertise in cancer diagnosis and management.

The Shape of Training Wales group was set up as the Wales Greenaway Review Group, following the publication of Professor Sir David Greenaway's report in October 2013. When it first met on July 10, 2014, it was clear the Shape of Training report's recommendations needed further detailed work before the group could carry out any activity.
The UK steering group agreed a series of workshops would be held across the UK to explore how the recommendations could be taken forward. The Wales group decided not to meet again until those workshops had been completed and there was greater clarity about how work would be taken forward.
Agreement has been reached on the next phase of activity at both a UK and Wales level and on this basis the group has been reconvened as the Shape of Training Wales group. It includes representation from the Welsh Government, British Medical Association, General Medical Council, NHS Employers, Wales Deanery, Academy of Medical Royal Colleges Wales, Cardiff University, Swansea University, Public Health Wales, Royal College of General Practitioners and Workforce Education Development Service.
The group met on June 16 and agreed to expand its membership to include a representative for doctors in training and a lay patient representative. The minutes from this meeting – the group's first – have been circulated to members for comment together with draft terms of reference.
The Shape of Training Wales group's agenda will be shared with the NHS workforce review and will help inform the national workforce plan for NHS Wales.

The review will be led by a small panel of experts, academics and other professionals who are familiar with the areas of investigation and are independent of Welsh Government.
The panel's first monthly meeting was held on May 5. It will gather evidence from stakeholders during the summer and autumn and will report in 2016.
A written report will be made to Welsh Minsters, which will then be published.

The remit for the workforce plan is broadly that agreed by the National Assembly on February 11. It will include the actions needed to train and recruit sufficient doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals in both health and social care to ensure future demands on these services can be met. It will also take account the work of the NHS Workforce Review, led by David Jenkins.
This work is being led by Julie Rogers, director of workforce and organisational development. It will require the proactive involvement of employers, senior managers, trade unions, representative and professional bodies and staff from across NHS Wales. It will draw on existing and emerging evidence and independent expertise where appropriate.
My officials will map the stakeholders to be involved and set out a schedule for engagement. Wherever possible, established fora will be used, including the Welsh Partnership Forum and the Workforce Partnership Council.

Mark Drakeford: The current risk of avian influenza in Wales is low. There has been no reported sustained community transmission of avian influenza and its derivatives in the human population anywhere in the world.
High vigilance is maintained for the possibility of cases in both the bird and human population and Wales maintains links to worldwide surveillance systems.
