Pan gyflwynwyd y ddeddfwriaeth ar ddigartrefedd, cawsom ymateb gwych o ran lleihad yn y niferoedd, ac rwy’n talu teyrnged i’r awdurdodau lleol sydd wedi bod yn ymwneud â hynny. Siaradais gyda Shelter Cymru y bore yma, ac roeddent yn hapus iawn ynglŷn â pha mor gyflym y digwyddodd y llwyddiant hwn, ond rwyf hefyd yn cydnabod y ffaith fod ymyriadau eraill wedi digwydd yma sydd wedi creu dynamig gwahanol o ddigartrefedd a phobl sy’n cysgu ar y stryd. Os cerddwch drwy’r dinasoedd yn awr, fe welwch garfan iau o unigolion yno. Bydd gweithredu toriadau i’r budd-dal tai ar gyfer pobl rhwng 18 a 21 oed yr wythnos hon yn cynyddu hynny. Felly, mae rhywfaint o waith i’w wneud, a chyfarfûm â’r Prif Weinidog ddoe hefyd i siarad am ddigartrefedd ymhlith pobl ifanc a’r ffaith fod yn rhaid i ni weithio ar fyrder i edrych ar sut y gallwn sicrhau ymyrraeth uniongyrchol, a allai gynnwys gweithio o’r ffordd anhraddodiadol rydym yn darparu cefnogaeth. Ond rwyf eisoes wedi ymweld â rhai ardaloedd lle y ceir ymyriadau dyfeisgar i gynorthwyo pobl ac atebion tai hefyd, ac mae hynny o ddiddordeb mawr i mi.
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.
