English: Thank you, and I have to say that there are several elements of the statement that we've received from you today that are positive in themselves, but I think that what is important to remember is that they do, in many people's view, including mine, fall short of what could be provided through specific legislation. You, through the way that you deal with this issue, talk about diagnosis and talk about specific support services as the important things, but there is much more than that to this, and that's why I think we need legislation. We're talking about the need to overcome barriers the prevent people with autism from playing their full part in society. We need to provide greater safeguards for people with ASD against decisions that are made that don't take into account neurodiversity. It's to do with changing recruitment practices, for example. It means realising that decisions about all kinds of areas of public service can have a very deep impact on people with autism. For example, I heard about the effect that changes to or withdrawal of transport services to schools can have on children with ASD. Those changes can have a major effect on an autistic child. School transport isn't a service for people with autism, but decisions about those things can have that effect. Now, a couple of general questions. You state yourself that the code that you want to develop can have a 'significant influence' on where and how local authorities and health boards prioritise resources and how they provide services, but will you admit that having a significant influence does fall very much short of the guarantees that would be provided through legislation? And you, in rejecting, at present - we hope to change your mind - going along that path of having separate legislation, say that separate legislation would set too stringent requirements that would damage the improvement that we are seeing, in your opinion, at present. But will you not accept that it's because people are failing to see that we are on a path of sufficient improvement that the vast majority of families of people with ASD and autism feel that we do need that specific legislation?
Welsh: Diolch, ac mae'n rhaid dweud bod sawl elfen o'r datganiad rydym ni wedi'i gael gennych chi heddiw yn bositif ynddyn nhw eu hunain, ond rydw i'n meddwl mai yr hyn sy'n bwysig i'w gofio ydy eu bod nhw, yng ngolwg llawer o bobl, yn cynnwys fi, yn syrthio'n fyr o'r hyn a allai gael ei ddarparu drwy ddeddfwriaeth benodol. Rydych chi, drwy'r ffordd rydych chi'n ymwneud â hyn, yn sôn am ddiagnosis a gwasanaethau cefnogi uniongyrchol fel y pethau pwysig. Wrth gwrs, mae yna lawer mwy na hynny iddi hi, a dyna pam rwy'n meddwl bod angen deddfwriaeth. Rydym ni'n sôn am yr angen i gael gwared ar rwystrau i bobl awtistig rhag gallu chwarae rhan lawn mewn cymdeithas. Mae angen rhoi rhagor o amddiffyniad i bobl efo ASD yn erbyn penderfyniadau sy'n cael eu gwneud sydd ddim yn cymryd i ystyriaeth niwroamrywiaeth. Mae o'n ymwneud â, o bosib, newid arferion recriwtio, er enghraifft. Mae o'n golygu sylweddoli bod penderfyniadau ynglŷn â phob mathau o feysydd o wasanaeth cyhoeddus yn gallu cael effaith ddofn iawn ar bobl sydd ag awtistiaeth. Er enghraifft, mi glywais i am yr effaith mae newid neu dynnu gwasanaethau trafnidiaeth i ysgol yn ei gael ar blant efo ASD. Mae'r newidiadau yna yn gallu cael effaith ddofn ar blentyn awtistig. Rŵan, nid yw trafnidiaeth ysgol yn wasanaeth i bobl ag awtistiaeth, ond mae penderfyniadau ynglŷn â hynny yn gallu cael effaith ddofn. Cwpwl o gwestiynau cyffredinol, mewn difrif. Mi rydych chi yn dweud eich hun bod y cod rydych chi eisiau ei ddatblygu yn mynd i allu cael 'dylanwad sylweddol' - dyna eich geiriau chi - ar lle a sut mae awdurdodau lleol a byrddau iechyd yn blaenoriaethu adnodau, a sut maen nhw'n darparu gwasanaethau ac adnoddau. Ond a wnewch chi gyfaddef bod cael dylanwad sylweddol yn syrthio yn fyr iawn o'r gwarantau fyddai'n cael eu cynnig drwy ddeddfwriaeth? Ac mi ydych chi, wrth wrthod, ar hyn o bryd - gobethio y gallwn newid eich meddwl chi - mynd lawr y llwybr o gefnogi'r llwybr o gael deddfwriaeth ar wahân, yn dweud y byddai deddfwriaeth ar wahân yn gosod gofynion rhy llym a fyddai yn gwneud niwed i'r gwelliant rydym yn ei weld, yn eich tyb chi, ar hyn o bryd. Ond a wnewch chi dderbyn mai oherwydd bod pobl yn methu â gweld ein bod ni ar lwybr digonol o welliant y mae pobl - mwyafrif llethol teuluoedd y bobl sydd ag ASD neu bobl awtistig - yn teimlo bod angen deddfwriaeth benodol?
