English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Minister, thank you very much for your statement. I want to mention World Mental Health Day and the significance that that day has to raise the profile of those people who are suffering with their mental health. And I want to put on the record my best wishes to my friend and colleague Andrew R.T. Davies, who I hope makes a speedy recovery, and also to my brave colleague Sam Kurtz, who last week opened up about his own struggles with his mental health during lockdown. I hope that, in raising personal struggles, it will help those people who are suffering in silence to seek the help and support that they need. Minister, the mental health delivery plan has been refreshed, and it's right that the Government focuses on cross-departmental working, which is right to address the mental health problems. It will take all Government departments to step up to the plate to deal with this. You mentioned you've commissioned an evaluation of the 10-year strategy. Can you outline what methodology and scrutiny will be used to ensure that this Senedd can scrutinise that evaluation when it comes forward? You also mentioned that the delivery plan needs to be accelerated, and I totally agree with you on that. We have no time to lose, and the NHS workforce in Wales is a key part of ensuring that that delivery plan is delivered, and delivered at pace. So, Minister, recruitment shortages in the mental health workforce are a challenge. On workforce plans, last week, you said that HEIW was making good progress on longer term workforce plans. So, when do you expect these plans to be published, and, when more staff are recruited, where will you be placing these professionals? You also mentioned the delivery and oversight board, which you chair, and I think this is a step in the right direction to, as you said, ensure that services can change and meet the mental health needs that come forward. One thing that I think was omitted from the statement was a position on child and adolescent mental health services support for young people. As I've raised previously, detentions of young people have gone up by 666 per cent in under-16s being detained since March, and two thirds of those were defined as female. That's a shocking statistic, and I think this should be immediately looked at to try and resolve this problem. In CAMHS, four out of seven people are reporting less than 50 per cent assessed at local primary mental health support service levels within 28 days. So, can you outline what efforts you and the oversight board are making to investigate these figures further and ensure that the young girls who have passed early intervention get that crisis care that they need? With that in mind, 24/7 crisis care centres are vitally important so that people have the care and at the right time, as you said. Crisis care is vital to help save people's lives, and also they reduce the pressure on wider services, and I was wondering what more support can be given to deliver those 24/7 crisis care centres. You mentioned the perinatal mother and baby care unit at Tonna, and I welcome this. However, you have said that there are gaps in north Wales. So, can you just outline what progress you have made to fill the gaps, and not just in north Wales, but across mid and west Wales as well, so we have that provision right across our country? Minister, you also mentioned the work with the UK Government over the need to update the Mental Health Act, and I welcome this cross-governmental work and I think it's very positive. However, do you think that maybe we should look at having an updated Welsh mental health Act here in Wales, made in Wales, decided by Welsh policy makers, to make sure that we have fantastic mental health services here in Wales? You mentioned the liberty safeguard regulations, and I look forward to seeing that detail coming forward and having wider discussions with you about that. And finally, Minister, will you outline your top priorities now for improving mental health services in Wales? I think it would be very useful if I could get to judge or appraise the top five or six measures and what you really want to get on top of in this first term of the Senedd. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Thank you, Minister, for your statement.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Gweinidog, diolch yn fawr am eich datganiad chi. Fe hoffwn i sôn am Ddiwrnod Iechyd Meddwl y Byd a'r arwyddocâd sydd gan y diwrnod hwnnw i godi proffil y bobl hynny sy'n dioddef oherwydd cyflyrau iechyd meddwl. Ac rwyf i am ddymuno'r gorau ar goedd i'm cyfaill a'm cydweithiwr Andrew R.T. Davies, sydd gobeithio, yn brysio i wella, a'm cydweithiwr dewr Sam Kurtz hefyd, a fynegodd yn ddidwyll iawn yr wythnos diwethaf ei anawsterau ei hun gyda'i iechyd meddwl yn ystod y cyfnod clo. Rwy'n gobeithio, wrth godi anawsterau personol, y bydd hyn yn annog y bobl hynny sy'n dioddef yn dawel i geisio'r cymorth a'r gefnogaeth sydd eu hangen arnyn nhw. Gweinidog, fe adnewyddwyd y cynllun cyflawni iechyd meddwl, a pheth da yw i'r Llywodraeth ganolbwyntio ar weithio trawsadrannol, sy'n beth da i fynd i'r afael â phroblemau iechyd meddwl. Fe fydd hi'n rhaid i adrannau'r Llywodraeth i gyd ddod i'r adwy i ymdrin â hyn. Roeddech chi'n sôn eich bod chi wedi comisiynu gwerthusiad o'r strategaeth 10 mlynedd. A wnewch chi amlinellu pa fethodoleg a chraffu a ddefnyddir i sicrhau y gall y Senedd hon graffu ar y gwerthusiad pan gaiff hwnnw ei gyflwyno? Roeddech chi'n sôn hefyd fod angen cyflymu'r cynllun cyflawni, ac rwyf i'n cytuno yn llwyr â chi yn hynny o beth. Nid oes gennym ni amser i'w golli, ac mae gweithlu'r GIG yng Nghymru yn rhan allweddol o'r gwaith o sicrhau bod y cynllun cyflawni hwnnw'n cael ei gyflawni, a'i gyflawni ar garlam. Felly, Gweinidog, mae prinder recriwtio yn y gweithlu iechyd meddwl yn her. O ran cynlluniau'r gweithlu, yr wythnos diwethaf, roeddech chi'n dweud bod AaGIC yn gwneud cynnydd da o ran cynlluniau gweithlu tymor hwy. Felly, pryd ydych chi'n disgwyl i'r cynlluniau hyn gael eu cyhoeddi, a phan gaiff mwy o staff eu recriwtio, ym mha le y byddwch chi'n lleoli'r gweithwyr proffesiynol hyn? Roeddech chi'n sôn hefyd am y bwrdd cyflawni a goruchwylio yr ydych chi'n ei gadeirio ac rwyf i o'r farn fod hwn yn gam i'r cyfeiriad iawn, fel roeddech chi'n dweud, at sicrhau y gall gwasanaethau newid a diwallu'r anghenion o ran iechyd meddwl a ddaw i'r amlwg. Un peth a hepgorodd y datganiad yn fy marn i oedd safbwynt ar gymorth gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl plant a'r glasoed i bobl ifanc. Fel rwyf i wedi dweud o'r blaen, mae nifer y bobl ifanc yn y ddalfa wedi cynyddu 666 y cant mewn pobl dan 16 oed sy'n cael eu dal ers mis Mawrth, ac fe ddiffiniwyd dwy ran o dair o'r rhain yn fenywaidd. Mae hwnnw'n ystadegyn brawychus, ac rwyf i'n credu y dylid ystyried hyn ar unwaith i geisio datrys y broblem hon. Mewn CAMHS, mae pedwar o bob saith o bobl yn adrodd mai llai na 50 y cant sydd wedi eu hasesu ar lefelau gwasanaeth cymorth iechyd meddwl sylfaenol lleol o fewn 28 diwrnod. Felly, a wnewch chi amlinellu pa ymdrechion a wnewch chi a'r bwrdd goruchwylio i ymchwilio ymhellach i'r ffigurau hyn a sicrhau bod y merched ifanc sydd wedi pasio ymyrraeth gynnar yn cael y gofal argyfwng hwnnw sydd ei angen arnyn nhw? Gyda hynny mewn golwg, mae canolfannau gofal argyfwng 24/7 yn hanfodol bwysig i sicrhau bod pobl yn cael y gofal ac yn yr amser priodol, fel roeddech chi'n dweud. Mae gofal brys yn hanfodol i helpu i achub bywydau pobl, a hefyd maen nhw'n lleihau'r pwysau ar wasanaethau ehangach, tybed pa gymorth arall y gellir ei roi i ddarparu'r canolfannau gofal argyfwng 24/7 hynny. Roeddech chi'n sôn am yr uned gofal mamau a babanod amenedigol yn Nhonnau, ac rwy'n croesawu hynny. Eto i gyd, rydych chi wedi dweud fod yna fylchau yn y gogledd. Felly, a wnewch chi amlinellu pa gynnydd a wnaethoch chi o ran llenwi'r bylchau, ac nid yn y gogledd yn unig, ond ar draws y canolbarth a'r gorllewin hefyd, fel bod y ddarpariaeth honno gennym ni ledled Cymru? Gweinidog, roeddech chi'n sôn hefyd am y gwaith gyda Llywodraeth y DU ynghylch yr angen i ddiweddaru'r Ddeddf Iechyd Meddwl, ac rwy'n croesawu'r gwaith traws-lywodraethol hwn ac o'r farn ei fod yn rhywbeth adeiladol iawn. Serch hynny, a ydych chi'n credu efallai y dylem ni ystyried cael Deddf iechyd meddwl wedi'i diweddaru yma yng Nghymru, a luniwyd yng Nghymru, a benderfynwyd gan y rhai sy'n llunio polisi yng Nghymru, i sicrhau bod gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl rhagorol gennym ni yma yng Nghymru? Fe wnaethoch chi grybwyll y rheoliadau diogelu rhyddid, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld y manylion hynny'n cael eu cyflwyno a chael trafodaethau ehangach gyda chi ynglŷn â hynny. Ac yn olaf, Gweinidog, a wnewch chi amlinellu eich prif flaenoriaethau chi nawr i wella gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl yng Nghymru? Rwyf i o'r farn y byddai hi'n ardderchog i mi gael barnu neu arfarnu'r pump neu chwe phrif fesur a'r hyn yr ydych chi'n wir yn dymuno ei gyflawni yn ystod y tymor Seneddol cyntaf hwn. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Diolch, Gweinidog, am eich datganiad.
