Show Notes
in conversation with the Auditor General | sgwrs gyda'r Archwilydd Cyffredinol
Mae'r pwysau ar y gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn enfawr: galw cynyddol, cyllidebau wedi'u gor-ymestyn, a chymhlethdod cynyddol. Ym mhennod 2, bydd Adrian yn rhybuddio bod rhai cynghorau "ar y dibyn o ran cynaliadwyedd ariannol" ac yn tynnu sylw at frwydr y GIG i fantoli ei chyllideb hyd yn oed er gwaethaf mwy o fuddsoddiad nag erioed o'r blaen. Mae ymddiriedaeth a hyder yn lleihau, yn rhannol oherwydd tueddiadau byd-eang ond hefyd oherwydd materion yma yng Nghymru - ac mae hynny'n broblem i bawb.

The pressures squeezing public services are immense: rising demand, over-stretched budgets, and growing complexity. In episode two, Adrian warns that some councils are "on the edge of financial sustainability" and highlights the NHS's struggle to break even despite record investment. Trust and confidence are diminishing, partly due to global trends but also to issues here in Wales - and that's a problem for everyone.
