English: Thank you for your statement, Minister. This legislation, of course, was supported by us and we want to see it succeed. I was pleased to hear the good news on adoption as well, because that was actually a model with which we were pretty sceptical, if I'm honest, so I'm pleased to say that we may have been persuaded otherwise on that now that we have the evidence. I think we do agree that an ageing population increases likely demand on social services and so we look forward to an indication of the milestones thta the parliamentary review on health and social care integration may have reached. I'm wondering if perhaps you can exercise some influence there about when we might hear about some of those milestones. You claim in the statement that you've given today that the implementation of the Act is strengthening integration further. Now, bearing in mind the points that have already been made on data capture, can you at least give us a flavour of the type of evidence you've already had to support the expectation that the seven regional partnership board assessments have begun to improve prevention, rehabilitation and care in their regions, and the evidence that the citizen is in fact leading the way, contributing to the design of their care? I suppose, in short, what I'm asking is: what do you think co-production currently looks like, and what can you do to reassure me, if you like, that the duty to promote social enterprises and co-ops, and the duty to promote the involvement of the person for care or preventative services, are to be provided, which was imposed on local authorities by the Act? Those two duties - are they actually being observed? We support your investment in the intermediate care fund - that £60 million and now the additional £15 million. However, I am a bit surprised, especially as you've indicated that you hope to develop those services further, from your statement, that you're not really willing to publish the new independent report you commissioned on how to identify good practice and effective use of funding. Now, that's not just useful for the regional partnerships. That's actually useful for us as an Assembly to scrutinise and, of course, support you in making good decisions. But I think it's also useful for those social workers who, at a conference in Swansea last month, were concerned that they were missing clear indicators of what practice actually looks like. So, if you would be prepared to consider releasing that report, I think I'd be very grateful, because I don't really see why I should wait three years for a full report on what the intermediate care fund is looking like. I'm happy to acknowledge the potential of the multifaceted care centre and share your interest in Trem-y-môr. I'm not sure why its success would lead to Bridgend council cutting the social care budget by £2.2 million as a result, but I am keen on hearing more about other successful, locally relevant models. I appreciate this is additional work, but if you are prepared to perhaps produce another written statement with some good examples, I think that might help those of us who are trying to scrutinise you. Carers - I don't need to repeat what Rhun ap Iorwerth said - but that refreshed strategy is now overdue, I would say. Again, accepting this issue of data capture, can you give us an indication now about how many carers have been told they are eligible for assessment? I'm quite astonished that some might have been assessed without their knowledge. I really wonder how that was allowed to happen. But then on the back of that, do you have any idea of the proportion of those who've been told that they could be assessed who have actually exercised that right; the approximate proportion of those who are still waiting to exercise that right; and again, roughly the proportion of carers who have exercised that right and been assessed and had a statement of their needs who have actually had those needs met? For this to work, it's got to be more than about smiley faces and frowny faces. There's got to be some realistic and firm measure of whether those needs have been met. And then finally, even though I could ask you loads more, I'm afraid, the Act introduced an obligation on local authorities to have due regard to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN principles for older people. Now, my party believes that all local authority activity should pay due regard to those, but this is a start. So, how are you monitoring the observance of the due regard obligation, and how do you intend to monitor compliance with various codes being issued under the Act, not least that they're in compliance with those due regard obligations? Thank you very much.
Welsh: Diolch am eich datganiad, Gweinidog. Cefnogwyd y ddeddfwriaeth hon gennym ni, wrth gwrs, ac rydym ni eisiau ei gweld yn llwyddo. Roeddwn i'n falch o glywed y newyddion da am fabwysiadu hefyd, oherwydd roeddem hwnnw fodel yr oeddem yn eithaf amheus yn ei gylch, a dweud y gwir, felly rwy'n falch o ddweud efallai ein bod ni wedi cael ein darbwyllo fel arall ynghylch hynny o weld y dystiolaeth. Rwy'n credu ein bod ni'n cytuno bod poblogaeth sy'n heneiddio yn cynyddu'r galw tebygol am wasanaethau cymdeithasol ac felly edrychwn ymlaen at arwydd o'r cerrig milltir y gallai'r adolygiad seneddol ar integreiddio iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol fod wedi eu cyrraedd. Tybed a allech chi arfer rhywfaint o ddylanwad yno o ran pryd y gallem ni glywed am rai o'r cerrig milltir hynny. Rydych chi'n honni yn y datganiad yr ydych chi wedi ei roi heddiw bod gweithrediad y Ddeddf yn cryfhau integreiddio ymhellach. Nawr, o gofio'r pwyntiau a wnaed eisoes ynghylch casglu data, a wnewch chi roi blas o leiaf o'r math o dystiolaeth yr ydych chi wedi ei chael eisoes i gefnogi'r disgwyliad bod asesiadau'r saith bwrdd partneriaeth rhanbarthol wedi dechrau gwella gwaith atal, adsefydlu a gofal yn eu rhanbarthau, a'r dystiolaeth bod y dinesydd yn arwain y ffordd mewn gwirionedd, gan gyfrannu at gynllunio ei ofal? Mae'n debyg, yn gryno, mai'r hyn rwy'n ei ofyn yw: sut mae cydgynhyrchu yn edrych ar hyn o bryd yn eich barn chi, a beth allwch chi ei wneud i roi sicrwydd i mi, os mynnwch, bod y ddyletswydd i hyrwyddo mentrau cymdeithasol a chydweithredol, a'r ddyletswydd i hyrwyddo cyfranogiad yr unigolyn ar gyfer gwasanaethau gofal neu ataliol, a orfodwyd ar awdurdodau lleol gan y Ddeddf, yn cael eu darparu? Y ddwy ddyletswydd hynny - a ydyn nhw'n cael eu cyflawni mewn gwirionedd? Rydym ni'n cefnogi eich buddsoddiad yn y gronfa gofal canolraddol - y £60 miliwn hynny, a'r £15 miliwn ychwanegol nawr. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n synnu braidd, yn enwedig gan eich bod wedi nodi eich bod yn gobeithio datblygu'r gwasanaethau hynny ymhellach, o'ch datganiad, nad ydych chi wir yn fodlon cyhoeddi'r adroddiad annibynnol newydd a gomisiynwyd gennych ar sut i nodi arfer da a defnydd effeithiol o gyllid. Nawr, nid yw hynny'n ddefnyddiol ar gyfer y partneriaethau rhanbarthol yn unig. Mae hynny'n ddefnyddiol i ni fel Cynulliad i graffu ac, wrth gwrs, eich cynorthwyo chi i wneud penderfyniadau da. Ond rwy'n credu ei fod yn ddefnyddiol hefyd i'r gweithwyr cymdeithasol hynny a oedd, mewn cynhadledd yn Abertawe fis diwethaf, yn pryderu eu bod yn methu dangosyddion eglur o sut y mae arfer yn edrych mewn gwirionedd. Felly, pe baech yn fodlon ystyried cyhoeddi'r adroddiad hwnnw, rwy'n credu y byddwn i'n ddiolchgar iawn, oherwydd nid wyf wir yn gweld pam y dylwn i aros tair blynedd am adroddiad llawn ar sut y mae'r gronfa gofal canolraddol yn edrych. Rwy'n hapus i gydnabod potensial y ganolfan ofal amlweddog ac yn rhannu eich diddordeb yn Nhrem-y-môr. Nid wyf yn siŵr pam y byddai ei lwyddiant yn arwain at gyngor Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr yn torri'r gyllideb gofal cymdeithasol £2.2 miliwn o ganlyniad i hynny, ond rwy'n awyddus i glywed mwy am fodelau lleol llwyddiannus, perthnasol eraill. Rwy'n sylweddoli bod hwn yn waith ychwanegol, ond os ydych chi'n fodlon rhoi datganiad ysgrifenedig arall efallai, gydag enghreifftiau da, rwy'n credu y gallai hynny helpu'r rheini ohonom sy'n ceisio craffu arnoch chi. Gofalwyr - nid oes angen i mi ailadrodd yr hyn a ddywedodd Rhun ap Iorwerth - ond mae'r strategaeth ddiwygiedig honno yn hwyr erbyn hyn, byddwn i'n dweud. Unwaith eto, gan dderbyn y mater hwn o gasglu data, a allwch chi roi syniad i ni nawr am faint o ofalwyr a hysbyswyd eu bod yn gymwys i gael asesiad? Rwyf wedi syfrdanu y gallai rhai fod wedi cael eu hasesu heb yn wybod iddynt. Rwyf i wir yn rhyfeddu sut y caniatawyd i hynny ddigwydd. Ond wedyn yn ogystal â hynny, a oes gennych chi unrhyw syniad o gyfran y rheini sydd wedi cael eu hysbysu y gallent gael eu hasesu sydd wedi arfer yr hawl honno mewn gwirionedd; cyfran fras y rheini sy'n dal i aros i arfer yr hawl honno; ac unwaith eto, cyfran fras y gofalwyr sydd wedi arfer yr hawl honno ac wedi cael eu hasesu a chael datganiad o'u hanghenion a'r anghenion hynny wedi eu diwallu? Er mwyn i hyn weithio, mae'n rhaid iddo ymwneud â mwy na wynebau hapus a wynebau trist. Mae'n rhaid cael rhyw fesur realistig a chadarn o ba un a yw'r anghenion hynny wedi cael eu diwallu. Ac yna yn olaf, er y gallwn ofyn llawer iawn mwy i chi, yn anffodus, cyflwynodd y Ddeddf rwymedigaeth ar awdurdodau lleol i roi sylw dyledus i Gonfensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Hawliau'r Plentyn ac egwyddorion y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar gyfer pobl hŷn. Nawr, mae fy mhlaid i'n credu y dylai pob gweithgaredd awdurdod lleol roi ystyriaeth briodol i'r rheini, ond dyma ddechrau. Felly, sut ydych chi'n monitro cyflawniad y rhwymedigaeth sylw dyledus, a sut ydych chi'n bwriadu monitro cydymffurfiaeth â gwahanol godau sy'n cael eu cyhoeddi o dan y Ddeddf, a'u bod yn cydymffurfio â'r rhwymedigaethau sylw dyledus hynny yn arbennig? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
