Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg am eu hadroddiad a gymeradwyodd Simon yn dilyn ei wrandawiad cyn penodi ar 25 Mai 2023 ac, er y fy mod yn anghytuno’n barchus â chasgliad y Pwyllgor ar y broses recriwtio a arweiniodd at y penodiad, nodaf nad yw hyn yn adlewyrchu ar ymgeisyddiaeth Simon ar gyfer y rôl.
I am grateful to the Children, Young People and Education Committee for their report which endorsed Simon following his pre-appointment hearing on 25 May 2023 and, whilst I would respectfully disagree with the Committee’s conclusion on the recruitment process which led to the appointment, I note this in no way reflects on Simon’s candidacy for the role.
