Oni bai bod tri Aelod yn dymuno i’r gloch gael ei chanu, symudaf ymlaen yn awr i gynnal y bleidlais. Na. Iawn, o’r gorau. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Galwaf am bleidlais, felly, ar y cynnig a gyflwynwyd yn enw Rhun ap Iorwerth. Os gwrthodir y cynnig hwn, byddwn yn pleidleisio ar y gwelliannau a gyflwynwyd i’r cynnig. Agorwch y bleidlais. Caewch y bleidlais. O blaid y cynnig 19, neb yn ymatal, 32 yn erbyn, felly gwrthodwyd y cynnig.

I now call for a vote on the motion as amended.
Motion NDM6223 as amended:
To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Believes that good social care services play an essential role in keeping the NHS sustainable and recognises the role of allied healthcare professionals in reducing avoidable demand for social care.
2. Recognises and appreciates the contribution unpaid carers make to the health and social care system.
3. Believes respite care should be flexible and can take place in a wide variety of settings, including at home and in the wider community.
4. Notes that community hospitals are one of several settings which can play a role in providing both respite care and step up/step down care.
5. Welcomes:
a) the Welsh Government’s commitment to develop a national approach to respite to ensure that respite is responsive to individuals’ needs in a consistent manner across Wales;
b) the investment in extra care services made possible through the £60m Intermediate Care Fund in 2017-18; and
c) the new £40m fund announced in the 2017-18 Budget to develop new integrated health and social care centres across Wales.
5. Calls on the Welsh Government to update the Assembly on the operation of S35 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, with regard to meeting carers’ respite needs.

NDM6223 - Plaid Cymru debate on the motion as amended
The House of Commons votes by dividing. Those voting Aye (yes) to any proposition walk through the division lobby to the right of the Speaker and those voting no through the lobby to the left. In each of the lobbies there are desks occupied by Clerks who tick Members' names off division lists as they pass through. Then at the exit doors the Members are counted by two Members acting as tellers. The Speaker calls for a vote by announcing "Clear the Lobbies". In the House of Lords "Clear the Bar" is called. Division Bells ring throughout the building and the police direct all Strangers to leave the vicinity of the Members’ Lobby. They also walk through the public rooms of the House shouting "division". MPs have eight minutes to get to the Division Lobby before the doors are closed. Members make their way to the Chamber, where Whips are on hand to remind the uncertain which way, if any, their party is voting. Meanwhile the Clerks who will take the names of those voting have taken their place at the high tables with the alphabetical lists of MPs' names on which ticks are made to record the vote. When the tellers are ready the counting process begins - the recording of names by the Clerk and the counting of heads by the tellers. When both lobbies have been counted and the figures entered on a card this is given to the Speaker who reads the figures and announces "So the Ayes [or Noes] have it". In the House of Lords the process is the same except that the Lobbies are called the Contents Lobby and the Not Contents Lobby. Unlike many other legislatures, the House of Commons and the House of Lords have not adopted a mechanical or electronic means of voting. This was considered in 1998 but rejected. Divisions rarely take less than ten minutes and those where most Members are voting usually take about fifteen. Further information can be obtained from factsheet P9 at the UK Parliament site.
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
