Mae’r cynllun gwaith hwnnw’n cael ei ddatblygu gennym ni, a chan y comisiynwyr hefyd. Rydym wedi gofyn iddynt ddod i siarad â ni ynglŷn â chynlluniau ar gyfer y dyfodol. Nid yw ond yn iawn ein bod yn gwneud hynny yn fy marn i.
Ni ddylem beidio â chydnabod y bydd hon yn her enfawr i’r sector yn ei gyfanrwydd—gwneud yn siŵr fod gennym y gallu yn y system i ymdopi â’r holl bobl ifanc hyn sy’n dod drwyddi. Rwy’n cytuno—o ran y rhaglen gofal plant gyfan y buom yn ei chyflwyno, y ddau faes sydd wedi bod yn fwyaf amlwg yw ansawdd a hyblygrwydd, ac mae’n eang iawn yn y cyd-destun hwnnw, ond rydym yn gweithio tuag at hynny. Bydd y broses o gyflwyno yn cychwyn ym mis Medi, ond byddaf yn rhoi ateb mwy pendant i’r Aelod pan fydd gennyf ragor o fanylion y gallaf eu rhoi iddo.
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.
