English: In relation to commissioning, our social services and well-being Act 2014 places a duty on local authorities to source and make placements for looked-after children. To this end, all of our local authorities are members of the Children's Commissioning Consortium Cymru, known as the 4Cs. This centralised function, developed by local authorities, simplifies and streamlines the commissioning process within the context of quality and improving outcomes for children, and is much valued by the commissioners and providers that use it. To further strengthen these arrangements, I'm pleased to say we have published our code of practice about market stability reports. This is a new duty on local authorities and health boards within a regional partnership board area to produce sufficiency assessments related to care and support. These reports are designed to promote stable and resilient services for children and adult social care across each region of Wales, particularly with respect to regulated services such as care home accommodation. The reports will also address issues such as trends in supply and demand, sustainability, commissioning practices, and enable better informed decision making about services. To support individuals with learning disabilities, this month, we are publishing a statutory code of practice on the delivery of autism services to be implemented from September this year. The code is accompanied by guidance to provide clarity on service provision for autistic people and their parents and carers. Important duties are placed on local authorities and health boards in four key areas: assessment and diagnosis, health and social care services, awareness training, and planning, monitoring and stakeholder involvement. But let me assure you that although we already have much legislation in place, in taking forward our Government commitments this term, we'll be exploring all the legislative options available to us. We will strengthen existing legislation where needed, such as our work to enhance corporate parenting responsibilities across the public sector. Now, on Jane Dodds's final point in the motion, and the focus of her speech and much of the focus of the debate here today, I'm sure Members will be aware of the Government's manifesto and of its programme for government where it commits very clearly to eliminating private profit from the care of looked-after children during this Senedd term. Eliminating profit making from the care of looked-after children is a high priority for this Government. We believe that public care should mean that children are cared for by local authorities or other not-for-profit providers, where social values and the best interest of and outcomes for children are the overriding motives. We know from children and young people themselves that they feel exploited by large private organisations that are able to make a profit from their lived experience of being in care, and I'm not criticising those organisations, I've just listened to children - listened to children and listened to what they say. I think it would be useful if Members in the Chamber also listen to what they say, because they make a very powerful case for their feelings about this matter. The children's commissioner and Voices from Care have also campaigned on the issue, and they and the children they represent can be pleased that we are taking action. And I note what Laura said: that we would do this carefully, we would do it over the lifetime of a parliament, which is five years, we would do it in partnership with the voluntary sector, with the not-for-profit sector, we would draw the private sector in to discuss what our plans were. So, it is certainly something that we would undertake very carefully. The social services and well-being Act contains provisions that are designed to promote the use of social enterprises, co-operatives and user-led services, and we want to see more of this type of provision for looked-after children in Wales. That's one of the reasons why we consulted on our 'Rebalancing care and support' White Paper. Members will recall I provided an overview of the responses to this consultation last week. We are committed to improving the commissioning of care by developing a national framework focused on outcomes and social value. We know we have significant work to do with a wide range of stakeholders and other interests, and we look forward to working with those who want to help us deliver our radical and ambitious plans for social care in Wales. I am determined that we achieve our ambition to remove profit from care, because it is the right thing to do. And I just want to close with a few words about this Government's approach to children and young people in Wales. I want to assure the Chamber that this Government is working for them. We are clear in our recognition of children and young people as citizens and right holders. We want to improve the experience of childhood and young adult life here and to enable them to live the kinds of lives they want and are capable of. So, thank you, Jane, for bringing this before the Senedd. Diolch.
Welsh: O ran comisiynu, mae ein Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant 2014 yn gosod dyletswydd ar awdurdodau lleol i ganfod a darparu lleoliadau ar gyfer plant sy'n derbyn gofal. I'r perwyl hwn, mae pob un o'n hawdurdodau lleol yn aelodau o Gonsortiwm Comisiynu Plant Cymru. Mae'r swyddogaeth ganolog hon, a ddatblygwyd gan awdurdodau lleol, yn symleiddio'r broses gomisiynu yng nghyd-destun ansawdd a gwella canlyniadau i blant, ac mae'n cael ei gwerthfawrogi'n fawr gan y comisiynwyr a'r darparwyr sy'n ei defnyddio. Er mwyn cryfhau'r trefniadau hyn ymhellach, rwy'n falch o ddweud ein bod wedi cyhoeddi ein cod ymarfer ar gyfer adroddiadau sefydlogrwydd y farchnad. Mae hon yn ddyletswydd newydd ar awdurdodau lleol a byrddau iechyd o fewn ardal bwrdd partneriaeth rhanbarthol i gynhyrchu asesiadau digonolrwydd mewn perthynas â gofal a chymorth. Mae'r adroddiadau hyn wedi'u cynllunio i hyrwyddo gwasanaethau sefydlog a chadarn ar gyfer gofal cymdeithasol i blant ac oedolion ar draws pob rhanbarth yng Nghymru, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â gwasanaethau a reoleiddir megis darpariaeth cartrefi gofal. Bydd yr adroddiadau hefyd yn mynd i'r afael â materion fel tueddiadau cyflenwad a galw, cynaliadwyedd, arferion comisiynu, ac yn galluogi pobl i wneud penderfyniadau mwy gwybodus am wasanaethau. Er mwyn cefnogi unigolion ag anableddau dysgu, y mis hwn, rydym yn cyhoeddi cod ymarfer statudol ar ddarparu gwasanaethau awtistiaeth i'w weithredu o fis Medi eleni ymlaen. Ategir y cod gan ganllawiau i egluro'r gwasanaethau a ddarperir i bobl awtistig a'u rhieni a'u gofalwyr. Rhoddir dyletswyddau pwysig i awdurdodau lleol a byrddau iechyd mewn pedwar maes allweddol: asesu a diagnosis, gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, hyfforddiant ymwybyddiaeth, a chynllunio, monitro a chynnwys rhanddeiliaid. Ond gadewch i mi eich sicrhau, er bod gennym lawer o ddeddfwriaeth eisoes ar waith, wrth fwrw ymlaen ag ymrwymiadau ein Llywodraeth y tymor hwn, byddwn yn archwilio'r holl opsiynau deddfwriaethol sydd ar gael i ni. Byddwn yn cryfhau'r ddeddfwriaeth bresennol lle bo angen, megis ein gwaith i wella cyfrifoldebau rhianta corfforaethol ar draws y sector cyhoeddus. Nawr, ar bwynt olaf Jane Dodds yn y cynnig, a ffocws ei haraith a llawer o ffocws y ddadl yma heddiw, rwy'n siŵr y bydd yr Aelodau'n ymwybodol o faniffesto'r Llywodraeth a'i rhaglen lywodraethu lle mae'n ymrwymo'n glir iawn i ddileu elw preifat o ofal plant sy'n derbyn gofal yn ystod y tymor hwn. Mae dileu gwneud elw o ofal plant sy'n derbyn gofal yn flaenoriaeth uchel i'r Llywodraeth hon. Credwn y dylai gofal cyhoeddus olygu bod plant yn derbyn gofal gan awdurdodau lleol neu ddarparwyr nid-er-elw eraill, lle mae gwerthoedd cymdeithasol a lles gorau plant a chanlyniadau i blant yn brif gymhellion. Gwyddom gan blant a phobl ifanc eu hunain eu bod yn teimlo eu bod yn cael eu hecsbloetio gan sefydliadau preifat mawr sy'n gallu gwneud elw o'u profiad bywyd o fod mewn gofal, ac nid wyf yn beirniadu'r sefydliadau hynny, nid wyf ond wedi gwrando ar blant - wedi gwrando ar blant ac wedi gwrando ar yr hyn a ddywedant. Credaf y byddai'n ddefnyddiol pe bai Aelodau yn y Siambr hefyd yn gwrando ar yr hyn a ddywedant, oherwydd maent yn gwneud achos pwerus iawn dros eu teimladau am y mater hwn. Mae'r comisiynydd plant a Voices from Care hefyd wedi ymgyrchu ar y mater, a gallant hwy a'r plant y maent yn eu cynrychioli fod yn falch ein bod yn gweithredu. A nodaf yr hyn a ddywedodd Laura: y byddem yn gwneud hyn yn ofalus, byddem yn ei wneud dros oes senedd, sef pum mlynedd, byddem yn ei wneud mewn partneriaeth â'r sector gwirfoddol, gyda'r sector nid-er-elw, byddem yn tynnu'r sector preifat i mewn i drafod ein cynlluniau. Felly, mae'n sicr yn rhywbeth y byddem yn ei wneud yn ofalus iawn. Mae'r Ddeddf gwasanaethau cymdeithasol a llesiant yn cynnwys darpariaethau sydd wedi'u cynllunio i hyrwyddo'r defnydd o fentrau cymdeithasol, cwmnïau cydweithredol a gwasanaethau a arweinir gan ddefnyddwyr, ac rydym eisiau gweld mwy o'r math hwn o ddarpariaeth ar gyfer plant sy'n derbyn gofal yng Nghymru. Dyna un o'r rhesymau pam y gwnaethom ymgynghori ar ein Papur Gwyn 'Ailgydbwyso gofal a chymorth'. Bydd yr Aelodau'n cofio fy mod wedi darparu trosolwg o'r ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad hwn yr wythnos diwethaf. Rydym wedi ymrwymo i wella'r broses o gomisiynu gofal drwy ddatblygu fframwaith cenedlaethol sy'n canolbwyntio ar ganlyniadau a gwerth cymdeithasol. Gwyddom fod gennym waith sylweddol i'w wneud gydag ystod eang o randdeiliaid a buddiannau eraill, ac edrychwn ymlaen at weithio gyda'r rhai sydd eisiau ein helpu i gyflawni ein cynlluniau radical ac uchelgeisiol ar gyfer gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru. Rwy'n benderfynol o gyflawni ein huchelgais i gael gwared ar elw o'r sector gofal, gan mai dyna'r peth iawn i'w wneud. Hoffwn gloi gydag ychydig eiriau am agwedd y Llywodraeth hon at blant a phobl ifanc yng Nghymru. Rwyf eisiau sicrhau'r Siambr fod y Llywodraeth hon yn gweithio ar eu rhan. Rydym yn glir yn ein cydnabyddiaeth o blant a phobl ifanc fel dinasyddion a deiliaid hawliau. Rydym eisiau gwella profiad plentyndod a bywyd fel oedolion ifanc yma a'u galluogi i fyw'r mathau o fywydau y maent eisiau eu byw ac y gallant eu byw. Felly, diolch, Jane, am ddod â hyn gerbron y Senedd. Diolch.
