English: I want to thank my colleagues for tabling this debate this afternoon. Migraine is a curse for those who suffer from it. In adults, it can be debilitating, but for young people, adolescents in particular, it can have a major impact on their schooling, their families and their social lives. Deputy Presiding Officer, I am not entirely sure what the current Welsh Government guidance is for schools on managing migraine. I could not find anything on the Welsh Government website; Public Health Wales is also light on this subject too. There's a brief reference to migraine at work, but nothing I could see on schools and how to respond. My feeling is that the motion is right to call for strengthening of the guidance, and I believe that we should consider how to support schools and their teachers in addressing a range of issues that would positively impact on those who suffer with migraine. In particular, I would like the Minister to consider: what can be advised around the nature of the school environment, especially the lack of ventilation; individual pupils being supported to eat and drink to address the risks associated with a lack of nutrition and dehydration, which could be a cause of migraine; and the development of school policies for those with enduring conditions, such as migraine and how the school can manage this, especially in supporting any treatment that a young person might be on. We should also attempt to learn more about the numbers of young people with migraine - what data do we have, what does it tell us, and what else do we need to know? I'd like to think that some relatively straightforward steps might remind our schools about the challenges that young people with migraine encounter, and support ways in which the risk of a migraine attack could be mitigated. This is an important issue. It is not one that has had much attention, and I am pleased that we are considering this today. Thank you.
Welsh: Rwyf am ddiolch i fy nghyd-Aelodau am gyflwyno'r ddadl hon y prynhawn yma. Mae meigryn yn felltith i'r rhai sy'n dioddef ohono. Mewn oedolion, gall fod yn wanychol, ond i bobl ifanc, i'r glasoed yn arbennig, gall effeithio'n fawr ar eu haddysg, eu teuluoedd a'u bywydau cymdeithasol. Ddirprwy Lywydd, nid wyf yn hollol sicr beth yw canllawiau presennol Llywodraeth Cymru i ysgolion ynglŷn â rheoli meigryn. Ni allwn ddod o hyd i unrhyw beth ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru; mae Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru hefyd yn brin o wybodaeth ar y pwnc. Ceir cyfeiriad byr at feigryn yn y gwaith, ond ni allwn weld unrhyw beth ar ysgolion a sut i ymateb. Fy nheimlad i yw bod y cynnig yn iawn i alw am gryfhau'r canllawiau, ac rwy'n credu y dylem ystyried sut i gynorthwyo ysgolion a'u hathrawon i fynd i'r afael ag ystod o faterion a fyddai'n effeithio'n gadarnhaol ar y rhai sy'n dioddef gyda meigryn. Yn fwyaf arbennig, hoffwn i'r Gweinidog ystyried: beth y gellir ei gynghori ynghylch natur amgylchedd yr ysgol, yn enwedig diffyg awyru digonol; cefnogaeth i ddisgyblion unigol i fwyta ac yfed er mwyn goresgyn y risgiau sy'n gysylltiedig â diffyg maeth a diffyg hylif, a allai fod yn un o achosion meigryn; a datblygu polisïau ysgol i'r rhai sydd â chyflyrau parhaus fel meigryn a sut y gall yr ysgol reoli hyn, yn enwedig cefnogi unrhyw driniaeth y gallai person ifanc fod yn ei dilyn. Dylem hefyd geisio dysgu mwy am niferoedd y bobl ifanc sy'n cael meigryn - pa ddata sydd gennym, beth y mae'n ei ddweud wrthym, a beth arall sydd angen i ni ei wybod? Hoffwn feddwl y gallai rhai camau cymharol syml atgoffa ein hysgolion am yr heriau y mae pobl ifanc sy'n cael meigryn yn eu hwynebu, a chefnogi ffyrdd o leddfu'r risg o bwl o feigryn. Mae hwn yn fater pwysig. Nid yw'n un sydd wedi cael llawer o sylw, ac rwy'n falch ein bod yn ystyried hyn heddiw. Diolch.
