Part of 2. 1. Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol – Senedd Cymru am 2:11 pm ar 27 Medi 2017.
Wel, diolch yn fawr i Sian Gwenllian am y cwestiwn yna. Mae hi’n tynnu sylw at y gwaith sy’n mynd ymlaen yn y maes yma.
I’ve been encouraged, Dirprwy Lywydd, myself, by the work the public services boards have done in making their well-being assessments. I’ve had an opportunity to read quite a few of them. I think, if we’re being completely frank, you would say that they’re the hallmark of so much of what we know about the way that things happen in Wales. There are very good examples in some aspects of the plans everywhere—probably not very many that are good right across the whole range of things that they were asked to encompass within that assessment. So, you can go—. I don’t want to start taking examples out of the air, Llywydd, but, if you were to go to Caerphilly’s, for example, it’s a really excellent example of public engagement and a really excellent example of how it’s captured the cultural dimension of well-being, and then it’s not so strong in other aspects, and other local boards have been better in different ways.
So, the really key thing is now to learn from this first round of them, to keep those assessments as documents that are alive, that people refresh them, that they learn from one another, and that they move purposefully on to the next stage, as Sian Gwenllian said, which is to move from the assessment of well-being needs to planning for how those needs are to be met. My aim, working with local authority colleagues, will be to try and make sure that, where the fastest progress has been made, that learning is passed on to others and we get a movement across Wales so that all these plans can be as good as they possibly can be.
