Diolch i’r Aelod am ei gwestiwn. Fe siaradais â’r Gweinidog Gwladol dros Bobl Anabl, ac ysgrifennodd ataf yn dilyn ei chyhoeddiad yn datgan nad oedd hwn yn newid polisi mewn perthynas â thaliadau, ac na fyddai’n golygu bod unrhyw un sy’n hawlio taliad annibyniaeth personol yn cael gostyngiad yn swm y taliadau annibyniaeth personol a ddyfarnwyd iddynt yn flaenorol. Fodd bynnag, mae’n ymddangos bod Llywodraeth y DU yn ceisio gwrthdroi dyfarniad yr uwch dribiwnlys, a fyddai’n cynyddu cymhwysedd ar gyfer y taliad annibyniaeth personol. Rwyf wedi gofyn i fy swyddogion fynd ar drywydd hynny gyda’i hadran, i geisio eglurder ynglŷn â hynny, a’r effeithiau ar gyfer pobl ag anableddau a chyflyrau iechyd yma yng Nghymru.
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.
