Yn bennaf, mae’r gyllideb hon yn gyfle i roi trefn ar y newidiadau sydd eu hangen o ganlyniad i reolaeth ariannol ganol blwyddyn. Mae’n alinio’r adnoddau sydd ar gael gyda blaenoriaethau’r Llywodraeth, ac mae mwyafrif y newidiadau i gynlluniau yn rhai gweinyddol. Eleni, mae’r ail gyllideb atodol hefyd yn cynnwys nifer o ddyraniadau allweddol o gronfeydd wrth gefn. Mae darparu sefydlogrwydd ar gyfer ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn un o brif flaenoriaethau’r Llywodraeth hon. Felly, mae’r gyllideb hon yn cynnwys gwerth £168.9 miliwn o ddyraniadau refeniw o gronfeydd wrth gefn Llywodraeth Cymru i gefnogi gwasanaethau iechyd gwladol Cymru.

This sum includes the £50 million announced by the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport in November to address winter pressures and to sustain and improve performance during the winter period. In addition, it includes an additional funding package of £102.9 million to support the NHS in Wales. This will help address the forecast deficits in two local health boards and the estimated shortfall of income from the pharmaceutical price regulation scheme.

Llywydd, this supplementary budget also reflects allocations made to pursue early progress against our programme ‘Taking Wales Forward’. In November 2016, additional capital funding of £30 million was announced by the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children in support of our commitment to provide 20,000 affordable new homes across Wales. This will include continued support for construction via schemes such as the social housing grant and Help to Buy. In January of this year, funding of £16 million was announced by the Welsh Government to support the launch of the new treatment fund to give people in Wales fast access to new and innovative treatments. An additional £20 million in revenue funding goes to the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales and is formalised in this budget to respond to current and future financial pressures, including the implementation of the Diamond report recommendations.

This second supplementary budget increases funding to develop the Welsh economy and our transport infrastructure: £47 million in capital has been allocated to support construction and maintenance of the trunk road network in Wales, with a further £8.5 million in revenue funding to establish Transport for Wales in preparation for franchise responsibilities. This supplementary budget also aligns additional investment of £33.4 million in capital grants and loans to deliver economic development priorities, supporting sustainable jobs and growth across the length and breadth of the country.

Llywydd, as supplementary budgets are mainly administrative in nature, this budget details the various other adjustments to be made to our budgets in this financial year, including any changes to the Welsh block arising from the UK Government decisions, revisions to forecasts of annually managed expenditure, and other transfers both between and within ministerial portfolios.

I’d like to thank the Finance Committee once again for the scrutiny of this supplementary budget and I ask Members to support it this afternoon.
