Diolch i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am ei ateb. Nid wyf yn hollol siŵr a ydym wedi bod yn darllen yr un adroddiad, ac yn amlwg, edrychais ar yr adroddiad o safbwynt yr ardal rwy’n ei chynrychioli a Hywel Dda yn benodol, lle y mae’n dweud bod problem go iawn gyda sicrhau mynediad at wasanaethau orthodontig. Cefais gadarnhad yr wythnos hon gan Gymdeithas Ddeintyddol Prydain hefyd fod rhestrau aros yn Hywel Dda ar gyfer plant rhwng naw a 17 oed ar hyn o bryd yn dair blynedd a phedwar mis, a hynny yn erbyn y targed o chwe mis. Felly, rhaid i mi ofyn, o ystyried yr adroddiad, nad yw’n cynnwys unrhyw ganlyniadau a thargedau pendant, beth y mae’r Llywodraeth yn ei wneud i sicrhau bod yr etholwyr rwy’n eu cynrychioli yn ardal bwrdd iechyd Hywel Dda—yn enwedig pobl ifanc yn fy etholaeth—yn gallu cael mynediad at driniaeth orthodontig o fewn cyfnod rhesymol o amser, gan gofio bod hyn yn effeithio ar eu haddysg a’u magwraeth?
The cabinet is the group of twenty or so (and no more than 22) senior government ministers who are responsible for running the departments of state and deciding government policy.
It is chaired by the prime minister.
The cabinet is bound by collective responsibility, which means that all its members must abide by and defend the decisions it takes, despite any private doubts that they might have.
Cabinet ministers are appointed by the prime minister and chosen from MPs or peers of the governing party.
However, during periods of national emergency, or when no single party gains a large enough majority to govern alone, coalition governments have been formed with cabinets containing members from more than one political party.
War cabinets have sometimes been formed with a much smaller membership than the full cabinet.
From time to time the prime minister will reorganise the cabinet in order to bring in new members, or to move existing members around. This reorganisation is known as a cabinet re-shuffle.
The cabinet normally meets once a week in the cabinet room at Downing Street.
