English: I don't think peer mentorship programmes are new; I think there are examples of that going on, in various different guises, in lots of different sectors. I'm very much of the view that this is something where people can support each other and that experience can be transformational - just knowing you're not alone when you're in a dark place is in itself something that is very helpful. I think the mentoring support that is there for parents as well as young people, for parents to understand what their children are going through, is also something that I think we can and do encourage. And there are examples, as you say, of best practice that we can pick up, and certainly the iceberg model that we've seen in Gwent, being led to a large extent by Liz Gregory, is something that we do hope that we can roll out to other parts of Wales.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn credu bod rhaglenni mentora cymheiriaid yn newydd; credaf fod enghreifftiau o hynny'n digwydd, mewn gwahanol ffyrdd, mewn llawer o wahanol sectorau. Rwy'n credu'n gryf fod hyn yn rhywbeth lle gall pobl gefnogi ei gilydd ac y gall y profiad hwnnw fod yn drawsnewidiol - mae gwybod nad ydych ar eich pen eich hun pan fyddwch mewn lle tywyll yn rhywbeth defnyddiol iawn ynddo'i hun. Credaf fod y cymorth mentora sydd ar gael i rieni yn ogystal â phobl ifanc, fel bod rhieni'n deall yr hyn y mae eu plant yn mynd drwyddo, hefyd yn rhywbeth y credaf y gallwn ei annog, ac yn rhywbeth rydym eisoes yn ei annog. A cheir enghreifftiau, fel y dywedwch, o arferion gorau y gallwn eu dysgu, ac yn sicr mae'r model mynydd iâ a welsom yng Ngwent, sy'n cael ei arwain i raddau helaeth gan Liz Gregory, yn rhywbeth rydym yn gobeithio y gallwn ei gyflwyno i rannau eraill o Gymru.
English: COVID-19 has been a really difficult time for autistic people in Wales, and we're working with partners, including the National Autistic Society, to support autistic people throughout this pandemic. We'll continue this joint work to minimise the longer term impact of the virus on autistic people's lives.
Welsh: Mae COVID-19 wedi bod yn amser anodd iawn i bobl awtistig yng Nghymru, ac rydym yn gweithio gyda phartneriaid, gan gynnwys y Gymdeithas Awtistiaeth Genedlaethol, i gefnogi pobl awtistig drwy gydol y pandemig hwn. Byddwn yn parhau â'r gwaith ar y cyd i leihau effaith mwy hirdymor y feirws ar fywydau pobl awtistig.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister. I've been listening to the voices of some of my constituents, who are concerned about the profile of people living with autism and other learning disabilities throughout this pandemic. In our Senedd debates, we're familiar with questions about vulnerable groups and, as often seen in the media, the attention most immediately turns to our older citizens and to care homes. But there are other groups who also need our attention, not least those living in both residential and supported accommodation. Their families need to both hear and then see that their needs are being recognised as a priority as the Welsh Government makes plans to deliver a vaccination programme. I hear about people in care settings who've been withdrawing from contact with families, as they don't fully understand the relevance or the benefit of technologies like Zoom. So, can you assure me, Minister, that people living with autism, and other learning disabilities, and their families, are receiving the rightful consideration in your plans?
Welsh: Diolch i chi am yr ateb hwnnw, Weinidog. Rwyf wedi bod yn gwrando ar leisiau rhai o fy etholwyr, sy'n pryderu am broffil pobl sy'n byw gydag awtistiaeth ac anableddau dysgu eraill drwy gydol y pandemig hwn. Yn ein dadleuon yn y Senedd, rydym yn gyfarwydd â chwestiynau am grwpiau sy'n agored i niwed ac fel y gwelir yn aml yn y cyfryngau, mae'r sylw'n troi'n syth at ein dinasyddion hŷn ac at gartrefi gofal. Ond mae grwpiau eraill angen ein sylw hefyd, yn enwedig y rhai sy'n byw mewn llety preswyl a llety â chymorth. Mae angen i'w teuluoedd glywed ac yna gweld bod eu hanghenion yn cael eu cydnabod fel blaenoriaeth wrth i Lywodraeth Cymru wneud cynlluniau i ddarparu rhaglen frechu. Rwy'n clywed am bobl mewn lleoliadau gofal sydd wedi bod yn colli cysylltiad â theuluoedd, gan nad ydynt yn deall perthnasedd na budd technolegau fel Zoom yn llawn. Felly, a allwch chi fy sicrhau, Weinidog, fod pobl sy'n byw gydag awtistiaeth, ac anableddau dysgu eraill, a'u teuluoedd, yn cael ystyriaeth briodol yn eich cynlluniau?
English: Well, I can give you that assurance, Dawn. Just to make it clear, right from the beginning of the pandemic, when we were requesting people not to leave their homes, we did, right at the beginning, give exemptions to those people with autism because we understood that they needed to follow certain patterns, that they needed to get out on a regular basis. So, right from the beginning, we have been sensitive to those needs and, of course, as we now look forward to the vaccination roll-out, that's an example of where we need to just be aware that there's an area there that we need to think about, as to how people with autism are likely to respond. Guidance is being developed in preparation for the roll-out of that vaccine, and that information will be available on Autism Wales's website. The other thing to be clear about on this is that we are very keen to make sure that people living with autism do receive that support, not just when it comes to vaccine roll-out, but also when it comes to more general interaction with the NHS.
Welsh: Wel, gallaf roi'r sicrwydd hwnnw i chi, Dawn. Hoffwn ei gwneud yn glir, o ddechrau'r pandemig, pan oeddem yn gofyn i bobl beidio â gadael eu cartrefi, fe wnaethom, ar y dechrau un, roi eithriadau i bobl ag awtistiaeth oherwydd ein bod yn deall bod angen iddynt ddilyn patrymau penodol a bod angen iddynt fynd allan yn rheolaidd. Felly, o'r dechrau un, rydym wedi bod yn sensitif i'r anghenion hynny ac wrth gwrs, wrth i ni edrych ymlaen yn awr at gyflwyno'r brechlyn, mae honno'n enghraifft o faes y mae angen i ni feddwl amdano, o ran sut y mae pobl ag awtistiaeth yn debygol o ymateb. Mae canllawiau'n cael eu datblygu i baratoi ar gyfer cyflwyno'r brechlyn hwnnw, a bydd y wybodaeth honno ar gael ar wefan Awtistiaeth Cymru. Y peth arall i fod yn glir yn ei gylch ar hyn yw ein bod yn awyddus iawn i sicrhau bod pobl sy'n byw gydag awtistiaeth yn cael y cymorth hwnnw, nid yn unig wrth gyflwyno'r brechlyn, ond hefyd o ran rhyngweithio mwy cyffredinol â'r GIG.
English: The 'Left stranded' report, published by the National Autistic Society and partners, shows that as well as significantly exacerbating the long-established challenges that autistic people face, the coronavirus pandemic has had a severely detrimental impact on the mental health of autistic people and their families. The already long waits for assessment and diagnosis services have been exacerbated even further, with only one in four children and young people in north Wales receiving an autism assessment from local neurodevelopmental teams within six months of referral, with many waiting much longer. The pandemic has also laid bare the lack of understanding of autism within our education system, also severely impacting the mental health of autistic pupils. What additional help can the Welsh Government therefore give these services now to bring down these long waits, to provide people with the support they need as quickly as possible? And, given the Welsh Government's previous commitment to ensuring that all teachers receive mandatory training in autism as part of their initial teacher training, which is needed now more than ever, can the Minister provide an update on plans to deliver this?
Welsh: Mae'r adroddiad 'Left Stranded', a gyhoeddwyd gan y Gymdeithas Awtistiaeth Genedlaethol a phartneriaid, yn dangos bod pandemig y coronafeirws, yn ogystal â gwaethygu'r heriau hirsefydlog y mae pobl awtistig yn eu hwynebu yn sylweddol, wedi cael effaith andwyol iawn ar iechyd meddwl pobl awtistig a'u teuluoedd. Mae'r amseroedd aros am wasanaethau asesu a diagnosis a oedd eisoes yn hir yn waeth byth gyda dim ond un o bob pedwar plentyn a pherson ifanc yng ngogledd Cymru'n cael asesiad awtistiaeth gan dimau niwroddatblygiadol lleol o fewn chwe mis i gael eu hatgyfeirio, a nifer yn aros yn hwy o lawer. Mae'r pandemig hefyd wedi amlygu'r diffyg dealltwriaeth o awtistiaeth yn ein system addysg, sydd hefyd yn effeithio'n ddifrifol ar iechyd meddwl disgyblion awtistig. Pa gymorth ychwanegol y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei roi felly i'r gwasanaethau hyn nawr i leihau'r amseroedd aros hir hyn, er mwyn rhoi'r cymorth y mae pobl ei angen cyn gynted â phosibl? Ac o ystyried ymrwymiad blaenorol Llywodraeth Cymru i sicrhau bod pob athro'n cael hyfforddiant gorfodol mewn awtistiaeth fel rhan o hyfforddiant cychwynnol i athrawon, rhywbeth sydd ei angen nawr yn fwy nag erioed, a all y Gweinidog roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am gynlluniau i gyflawni hyn?
English: Thank you very much, Mark. I have read the 'Left stranded' report, and I think it does make some very interesting reading, and I'll be looking forward to discussing that with the chief executive of the National Autistic Society when I meet her next week. Just in terms of access to services during COVID-19, services are coming together to exchange good practice and support is being offered virtually, of course, whenever that is possible. The other thing that we're doing is making sure that an online assessment tool is being developed, which will meet the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence compliance guidelines. You'll be aware that the public consultation on the code of practice is currently happening - it's ongoing right now - and we're expecting that to be closed on 14 December. You talk also about the training needed in relation to additional learning needs, and you'll be aware that the new training programme will include an effort to make sure that there is an understanding of the additional learning needs system. That is going to have a complete overhaul, as you're aware, and the hope is that the code and the regulations in relation to additional learning needs will be laid before the Senedd in February.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Mark. Rwyf wedi darllen yr adroddiad 'Left Stranded', ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn ddiddorol iawn, a byddaf yn edrych ymlaen at drafod hwnnw gyda phrif weithredwr y Gymdeithas Awtistiaeth Genedlaethol pan fyddaf yn cyfarfod â hi yr wythnos nesaf. O ran mynediad at wasanaethau yn ystod COVID-19, mae gwasanaethau'n dod at ei gilydd i gyfnewid arferion da ac mae cymorth yn cael ei gynnig yn rhithwir, wrth gwrs, lle bynnag y bo modd. Y peth arall rydym yn ei wneud yw sicrhau bod offeryn asesu ar-lein yn cael ei ddatblygu, a fydd yn bodloni canllawiau cydymffurfio'r Sefydliad Cenedlaethol dros Ragoriaeth mewn Iechyd a Gofal. Fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol fod yr ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus ar y cod ymarfer yn digwydd ar hyn o bryd - mae'n mynd rhagddo yn awr - ac rydym yn disgwyl i hwnnw ddod i ben ar 14 Rhagfyr. Rydych hefyd yn siarad am yr hyfforddiant sydd ei angen mewn perthynas ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol, ac fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol y bydd y rhaglen hyfforddi newydd yn cynnwys ymdrech i sicrhau bod yna ddealltwriaeth o'r system anghenion dysgu ychwanegol. Bydd hwnnw'n cael ei ailwampio'n llwyr, fel y gwyddoch, a'r gobaith yw y bydd y cod a'r rheoliadau mewn perthynas ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yn cael eu gosod gerbron y Senedd ym mis Chwefror.
English: Thank you, Adam. I established an economy and Welsh language round-table last year, and I've ensured that we do discuss there the challenges facing Welsh-speaking and rural communities. One of the themes that we're looking at there is the outward migration of young people, and the Arfor programme has also piloted projects targeted specifically in supporting young people to remain in their communities.
Welsh: Diolch, Adam. Dwi wedi sefydlu bwrdd crwn ar yr economi a'r iaith y llynedd a dwi wedi sicrhau ein bod ni'n trafod fanna yr heriau sy'n wynebu cymunedau Cymraeg a gwledig. Un o'r themâu ŷn ni'n edrych arnynt fanna yw allfudo pobl ifanc, ac mae rhaglen Arfor hefyd wedi peilota prosiectau sydd wedi'u targedu ar gyfer cefnogi pobl ifanc i aros yn eu cymunedau nhw.
English: Jeremy Miles told a Senedd committee that the Government had carried out an analysis of the dual effect of COVID and Brexit on the Welsh language and rural communities, and that you, as the Government, on the basis of that assessment, have accepted that there was room for concern, particularly because of the housing crisis and the increase in the number of people from outside the areas who are buying homes. Will you publish that assessment? Can you provide a timetable for the next steps on the work done by Simon Brooks on second homes? As the housing crisis is happening now, and Carmarthenshire council, for example, has outlined some steps that could be taken immediately, can you tell us what the Government is going to do in terms of an urgent plan this side of the election?
Welsh: Dywedodd Jeremy Miles wrth un o bwyllgorau'r Senedd fod y Llywodraeth wedi gwneud dadansoddiad o effaith deuol COVID a Brexit ar y Gymraeg a chymunedau gwledig, a'ch bod chithau fel Llywodraeth ar sail yr asesiad hwnnw yn derbyn bod yna le i bryderu, yn arbennig oherwydd yr argyfwng tai a'r cynnydd mewn niferoedd o bobl sy'n prynu tai o'r tu allan i'r ardal. A wnewch chi gyhoeddi'r asesiad yna? Ydych chi'n gallu rhoi yr amserlen ar gyfer camau nesaf gwaith Simon Brooks ar ail gartrefi? Gan fod yr argyfwng tai yn digwydd nawr a bod Cyngor Sir Gâr, er enghraifft, wedi amlinellu mesurau y gellir eu cymryd nawr, allwch chi ddweud beth mae'r Llywodraeth yn mynd i wneud o ran cynllun brys yr ochr yma i'r etholiad?
English: Thank you. Of course, we, as a department, have ensured that we have undertaken a review of the impact of COVID on the Welsh language in our communities, and that will be published in the next fortnight. On top of that, Simon Brooks will be publishing his paper on second homes in the next fortnight. So, the data is there and it's coming together and it will help us to analyse where we need to target that work. In terms of what we're trying to do in practice, one of the things that we've been discussing, in particular in working with local government in the round-table last week, is that we're looking at, for example, procurement processes and how we can do more to use procurement in the public sector to ensure that we do increase the use of that in our communities. We want to mainstream the Welsh language and rural affairs into Welsh Government programmes, so I've brought in officials who have responsibility for the economy to ensure that they understand where their responsibilities are in this area. We're also looking and we're hoping to follow this ethos of Llwybro and focusing on the themes or specific sectors. I think that another thing that we need to emphasise is the fact that more people are now working from home, and there may be an opportunity there to try and attract more people to live in their home rural communities.
Welsh: Wrth gwrs, rŷn ni hefyd fel adran wedi sicrhau ein bod ni wedi cario mas arolwg ar effaith COVID ar y Gymraeg yn ein cymunedau, a bydd hwnna yn cael ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y pythefnos nesaf. Ar ben hynny, bydd Simon Brooks yn cyhoeddi ei bapur e ar ail gartrefi yn ystod y pythefnos nesaf. Felly, mae'r data yna yn dod at ei gilydd, a bydd hwnna'n help inni ddadansoddi ble mae angen inni dargedu'r gwaith hwnnw. O ran beth ŷn ni yn ceisio ei wneud yn ymarferol, un o'r pethau ŷn ni wedi bod yn eu trafod yn arbennig wrth weithio gyda llywodraeth leol yn y bwrdd crwn yr wythnos diwethaf oedd ein bod ni'n edrych ar, er enghraifft, brosesau caffael, sut allwn ni wneud mwy i ddefnyddio caffael yn yr adran gyhoeddus i sicrhau ein bod ni'n cynyddu y defnydd yn ein cymunedau ni. Rŷn ni eisiau prif-ffrydio'r Gymraeg a materion cefn gwlad i raglenni Llywodraeth Cymru, felly rwyf fi wedi dod â'r swyddogion sydd â'r cyfrifoldeb dros yr economi i sicrhau eu bod nhw'n deall ble mae eu cyfrifoldeb nhw yn y maes yma hefyd. Ac rŷn ni hefyd yn edrych ac yn gobeithio dilyn ethos Llwybro a chanolbwyntio ar y themâu neu'r sectorau penodol. Peth arall sydd werth inni danlinellu yw'r ffaith bod mwy o bobl nawr yn gweithio o gartref, ac efallai bod yna gyfle yn fanna i drio denu mwy o bobl i fyw gartref yn ein cymunedau cefn gwlad ni.
English: I'm pleased to hear about the round-table meetings. The crucial question is why hasn't the Welsh Government's economic policy led to better jobs and better paid employment in rural areas to help to keep those young people in their localities and to ensure that they can afford to purchase homes. But in order to maintain the growth of the Welsh language in the community, what assessment have you made of the use of the due regard principle on planning authorities to consider the impact of their decisions on the language? How often is that used to support growth, not only to safeguard the current foundations? For example, how many authorities have used defined local tenure conditions, which used to go alongside affordable housing targets, or sometimes were linked to them? And, also, there is this concept of Help to Buy being used for vacant properties rather than new properties.
Welsh: Rwy'n falch i glywed am y ford gron. Y cwestiwn hanfodol yw pam nad yw polisi economaidd Llywodraeth Cymru wedi arwain at swyddi â chyflog gwell mewn ardaloedd gwledig i helpu cadw pobl ifanc ac i'w helpu i fforddio tai. Ond o ran cadw twf y Gymraeg yn y gymuned, pa asesiad ydych chi wedi ei wneud o ddefnyddio'r gofyniad sylw dyledus ar awdurdodau cynllunio i ystyried effaith eu penderfyniadau ar yr iaith? Pa mor aml y defnyddir hynny i gefnogi twf, nid yn unig amddiffyn y sylfaen gyfredol? Er enghraifft, faint o awdurdodau sydd wedi defnyddio amodau deiliadaeth leol diffiniedig a arferai redeg ochr yn ochr â thargedau tai fforddiadwy neu weithiau a oedd yn gydgysylltiedig â nhw? A hefyd, wrth gwrs, mae yna syniad o Help to Buy ar gyfer tai gwag yn lle tai newydd.
English: Thank you. I think there are many things we need to consider here when it comes to housing and keeping people in our communities. It is a serious problem and it's complex. We're looking at every situation and we're hoping to see what more we can do, because we have done more here in Wales than in any other area of the UK. One of the things that we've done is to ensure that we have built 20,000 homes during this period - affordable homes that will help to keep people in their communities. And when it comes to planning, people do need to consider the impact on the Welsh language. One of the problems that there has been is that the tool to do that, to measure that, hasn't been adequate, and that's why my department has ensured that they have done a lot of work to improve that tool to ensure that we can measure that impact better.
Welsh: Diolch. Dwi'n meddwl bod yna lot o bethau mae'n rhaid inni eu hystyried fan hyn, pan mae'n dod at dai a chadw pobl yn ein cymunedau ni. Mae'n broblem ddyrys ac mae'n gymhleth. Rydyn ni'n edrych ar bob sefyllfa ac rydyn ni'n gobeithio gweld beth mwy y gallwn ni ei wneud, achos rydyn ni wedi gwneud mwy yma yng Nghymru nag yn unrhyw ardal arall yn y Deyrnas Unedig. Un o'r pethau rydyn ni wedi ei wneud, wrth gwrs, yw sicrhau ein bod ni wedi adeiladu 20,000 o dai yn ystod y cyfnod yma - tai fforddiadwy, fydd yn helpu cadw pobl yn eu cymunedau nhw. A phan mae'n dod i gynllunio, mae angen i bobl ystyried yr effaith ar y Gymraeg. Un o'r problemau sydd wedi bod oedd bod y tŵl i wneud hynny, i fesur hynny, ddim yn ddigonol, a dyna pam mae fy adran i wedi sicrhau eu bod nhw wedi gwneud lot fwy i wella'r tŵl yna i sicrhau ein bod ni'n gallu mesur yr effaith yn well.
English: We have invested almost £10 million of additional funding this year to support mental health, and this includes investment in tier 0 support to help reduce the need to access NHS services. We are also taking a cross-Government and multi-agency approach to reduce the wider impact of the pandemic on mental health.
Welsh: Rydym wedi buddsoddi bron i £10 miliwn o gyllid ychwanegol eleni i gefnogi iechyd meddwl, ac mae hyn yn cynnwys buddsoddiad mewn cymorth haen 0 i helpu i leihau'r angen i gael mynediad at wasanaethau'r GIG. Rydym hefyd yn mabwysiadu dull trawslywodraethol ac amlasiantaethol o leihau effaith ehangach y pandemig ar iechyd meddwl.
English: I thank the Minister for that answer. Will she join me in commending the research carried out between Cardiff and Swansea universities, published last month in the much-respected journal Frontiers in Psychiatry? It's a single-nation study, reflecting on an earlier survey conducted in 2018-19, then comparing how people were feeling during the pandemic. It showed a three or fourfold increase in the prevalence of mental distress, with 50 per cent of the population reporting clinically significant levels of distress and around 20 per cent showing severe effects. The impact was particularly apparent in younger people, and we were talking earlier about the plight of younger people and their psychological distress. Quite clearly, there is huge pressure on mental health services now, and there will be one heck of a hangover, and we really must ensure that the appropriate level of resources and time here in terms of policy development is spent so that we have the best possible mental health services, both in the community and, unfortunately, those that are needed in the acute sector also.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog am yr ateb hwnnw. A wnaiff hi ategu fy nghanmoliaeth i'r ymchwil a wnaed gan brifysgolion Caerdydd ac Abertawe, ac a gyhoeddwyd fis diwethaf yn y cyfnodolyn uchel ei barch Frontiers in Psychiatry? Mae'n astudiaeth un wlad, sy'n myfyrio ar arolwg cynharach a gynhaliwyd yn 2018-19, ac yna'n cymharu sut roedd pobl yn teimlo yn ystod y pandemig. Dangosodd gynnydd o deirgwaith neu bedair gwaith y nifer o achosion o drallod meddyliol, gyda 50 y cant o'r boblogaeth yn adrodd lefelau trallod clinigol arwyddocaol a thua 20 y cant yn dangos effeithiau difrifol. Roedd yr effaith yn arbennig o amlwg mewn pobl iau, ac roeddem yn sôn yn gynharach am drafferthion pobl iau a'u trallod seicolegol. Yn gwbl amlwg, mae pwysau enfawr ar wasanaethau iechyd meddwl nawr, a byddwn yn sicr yn dioddef ar ôl y cyfnod hwn, ac mae'n rhaid inni sicrhau bod y lefel briodol o adnoddau yn cael eu defnyddio a'r amser priodol yn cael ei dreulio yn datblygu polisi fel bod gennym y gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl gorau posibl, yn y gymuned, ac yn y sector acíwt hefyd, yn anffodus.
English: Minister, you will know I've recently written to you asking about the mental health impact assessments that have surely been carried out in advance of such momentous and long-term decisions to remove our civil liberties. I have long been of the opinion that the impact on our collective mental health will be huge. I'm particularly concerned about our young people, so what discussions are you actually having with the education sector about prevention of mental health issues in our schools? Thank you.
Welsh: Weinidog, fe fyddwch yn gwybod fy mod wedi ysgrifennu atoch yn ddiweddar i ofyn am yr asesiadau effaith ar iechyd meddwl a gynhaliwyd, does bosibl, cyn gwneud penderfyniadau mor aruthrol a hirdymor i ddileu ein hawliau sifil. Rwyf wedi bod o'r farn ers tro y bydd yr effaith ar ein hiechyd meddwl cyfunol yn enfawr. Rwy'n pryderu'n benodol am ein pobl ifanc, felly pa drafodaethau rydych yn eu cael mewn gwirionedd gyda'r sector addysg ynglŷn ag atal problemau iechyd meddwl yn ein hysgolion? Diolch.
