English: Thank you, Minister, for your statement. You'll know of my long-standing interest in the armed forces, and I've been very pleased to see the Welsh Government pick up on many of the issues that I've raised in the past, and in particular the ongoing support for the Veterans' NHS Wales service. You will know, though, that there is inconsistency, as has already been alluded to, in terms of waiting times for access to that service and the service itself via the lead clinician, Dr Neil Kitchiner, has suggested that it needs an annual support package of in excess of £700,000. I wonder, Minister, whether you will be able to review, along with your colleague the Cabinet Secretary for health, the investment that's going into that service and to keep an eye on the capacity of the service to make sure that it works. Like Mark Isherwood, I want to sing the praises also of the Change Step programme across Wales. It's something that I think is unique across the United Kingdom. The peer-to-peer support that is provided to veterans and their families through Change Step really has transformed lives, and I've met many individuals who have turned their situations around as a result of the support that has been made available. But there is a precarious future for that service beyond the next 12 months. While they've secured funding for the current financial year through to March, there is still some uncertainty going forward. I wonder, Minister, whether you can tell us whether you would consider whether funding that service in the future would be something that the Welsh Government can do. You made reference to the men's sheds network. There is actually a veterans' shed, which has been established in my constituency in Llanddulas. Do you see veterans' sheds as being something that you could support the expansion of in the future? Finally, one thing that you didn't mention in your statement was the role that the uniformed cadet forces play across Wales in providing youth engagement opportunities and also in supporting many of our schools where young people would otherwise be not in education, employment or training - NEETs, completely outside the education system. You'll be aware that there's been a cadet expansion programme, which has been funded by the Ministry of Defence in England. I wonder, Minister, whether you would confirm the Welsh Government's support for the expansion of the cadet programme in Welsh schools should there be applications from Welsh schools. There are opportunities for people, of course, to obtain qualifications that they wouldn't have otherwise obtained in public service and through the cadet vocational qualification scheme, should they participate in the cadet forces. I wonder, Minister, whether you'd be able to tell us whether your Government supports that.
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Weinidog, am eich datganiad. Byddwch yn gwybod am fy niddordeb hir yn y lluoedd arfog, ac rwyf wedi bod yn falch iawn o weld Llywodraeth Cymru'n codi llawer o'r materion yr wyf wedi eu nodi yn y gorffennol, ac yn arbennig y cymorth parhaus i wasanaeth GIG Cymru i Gyn-filwyr. Byddwch yn gwybod, fodd bynnag, fod anghysondeb, fel y soniwyd eisoes, o ran amseroedd aros i gael y gwasanaeth hwnnw a'r gwasanaeth ei hun drwy'r clinigydd arweiniol, Dr Neil Kitchiner, sydd wedi awgrymu bod angen pecyn cymorth blynyddol o fwy na £700,000. Tybed, Weinidog, a fyddwch yn gallu adolygu, ynghyd â'ch cydweithiwr, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros iechyd, y buddsoddiad sy'n digwydd yn y gwasanaeth hwnnw a chadw llygad ar gapasiti'r gwasanaeth i wneud yn siŵr ei fod yn gweithio. Fel Mark Isherwood, rwyf innau am ganu clodydd y rhaglen Change Step ledled Cymru hefyd. Mae'n rhywbeth yr wyf yn credu sy'n unigryw yn y Deyrnas Unedig. Mae'r cymorth gan gymheiriaid a ddarperir i gyn-filwyr a'u teuluoedd drwy Change Step wedi gweddnewid bywydau yn wirioneddol, ac rwyf wedi cwrdd â llawer o unigolion sydd wedi newid eu sefyllfa'n llwyr o ganlyniad i'r cymorth sydd ar gael. Ond mae dyfodol ansicr i'r gwasanaeth hwnnw ar ôl y 12 mis nesaf. Er ei fod wedi sicrhau cyllid ar gyfer y flwyddyn ariannol gyfredol hyd at fis Mawrth, mae rhywfaint o ansicrwydd ynglŷn â'r dyfodol. Tybed, Weinidog, a allwch ddweud wrthym a fyddech yn ystyried a fyddai ariannu'r gwasanaeth hwnnw yn y dyfodol yn rhywbeth y gallai Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud? Soniasoch am y rhwydwaith o siediau i ddynion. Mae sièd cyn-filwyr, yn wir, wedi'i sefydlu yn fy etholaeth i yn Llanddulas. A ydych yn meddwl y gallech gefnogi ehangu siediau cyn-filwyr yn y dyfodol? Yn olaf, un peth na soniasoch amdano yn eich datganiad oedd rôl lluoedd y cadetiaid mewn lifrai ledled Cymru o ran darparu cyfleoedd i ymgysylltu â phobl ifanc a hefyd o ran cefnogi llawer o'n hysgolion lle na fyddai pobl ifanc fel arall mewn addysg, cyflogaeth na hyfforddiant - NEETs, yn gyfan gwbl y tu allan i'r system addysg. Byddwch yn gwybod bod rhaglen ehangu cadetiaid wedi bod, wedi ei ariannu gan y Weinyddiaeth Amddiffyn yn Lloegr. Tybed, Weinidog, a wnewch chi gadarnhau cefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru i ehangu'r rhaglen cadetiaid mewn ysgolion yng Nghymru pe byddai ceisiadau gan ysgolion yng Nghymru? Mae cyfleoedd i bobl, wrth gwrs, i ennill cymwysterau na fyddent wedi eu cael fel arall mewn gwasanaeth cyhoeddus a thrwy'r cynllun cymhwyster galwedigaethol i gadetiaid, pe byddent yn cymryd rhan yn lluoedd y cadetiaid. Tybed, Weinidog, a allwch chi ddweud wrthym a yw eich Llywodraeth yn cefnogi hynny?
