English: We as the Bevan Foundation have done a great deal of work in this field. Starting with the Welsh Government, we have seen things taking a step forward since the last time the committee looked at this issue. There is a commitment within the Welsh Government to moving towards some kind of integrated system where people can access everything in one place. At the moment, there are a great deal of discussions on things such as the principles that would be related to such a system, rather than the nitty-gritty of how it would work in practical terms. We have seen that specific local authorities have taken steps forward too, because they have been part of those conversations. So, there have been steps taken. I think there have been frustrations, possibly - as always - because things haven't happened at greater pace. We've been working with several other groups, such as Citizens Advice, to commission Policy in Practice to do a piece of work for us, to look at the mechanics of this - what's possible, what's possible when. They're concluding that work now, and we hope that, by the beginning of March, that work will be ready to share. And what we hope that that will show is what steps we should be taking next if we are seriously thinking about making these systems more integrated and making it easier for people to access those systems. What we've been talking to Policy in Practice about is thinking about what steps we can take now, tomorrow, to make sure that the system works better, and what steps we would need to take in two or three years' time - so, what kinds of steps would require legislation in terms of sharing data, what steps would need a change to technical systems. But the work that they've done to date shows that, certainly, it is going to be possible to have a far better system than we currently have. So, we would be eager to see positive, major steps being taken forward when that work comes out, because it will be - . What we're hoping is to focus people's minds on where we should be doing this work. And so, that is something that we would be eager to see great progress on in the near future.
Welsh: Yn amlwg, rŷm ni fel Sefydliad Bevan wedi gwneud lot o waith yn y maes hwn. I ddechrau'n gyntaf, efallai, gyda Llywodraeth Cymru, rŷm ni wedi gweld pethau'n camu ymlaen, dwi'n credu, ers y tro diwethaf i'r pwyllgor yma edrych ar y mater yma. Mae yna ymroddiad bellach o fewn Llywodraeth Cymru i fod yn trio symud at ryw fath o system integredig lle mae pawb yn gallu cael popeth yn un man. Ar y foment, mae lot o'r trafodaethau wedi bod ar bethau fel principles a fyddai ynghlwm â rhywbeth fel yna, yn hytrach na'r nitty-gritty o sut byddai hynny'n gweithio'n weithredol. Rŷm ni wedi gweld bod awdurdodau lleol penodol wedi cymryd camau ymlaen hefyd achos eu bod nhw wedi bod yn rhan o'r sgyrsiau yna. So, mae yna newid wedi bod. Rŷm ni'n credu bod yna rwystredigaeth, o bosib - fel wastad - bod pethau'n methu bod yn gynt. Dŷn ni wedi bod yn gweithio â sawl person arall, Citizens Advice yn un, i gomisiynu cwmni Policy in Practice i wneud darn o waith ymchwil i ni, i edrych ar hwn o ran mecaneg y peth - beth sy'n bosib, beth sy'n bosib pryd. Maen nhw wrthi'n dod â'r gwaith yna i ben ar y foment, a dŷn ni'n gobeithio, erbyn dechrau mis Mawrth, y bydd y gwaith yna'n barod i gael ei rannu. A beth dŷn ni'n ei obeithio y bydd hwnna'n ei ddangos yw pa gamau y dylem ni fod yn eu cymryd nesaf os ydym ni o ddifrif am wneud y systemau yma'n fwy integredig a'i gwneud hi'n haws i bobl gael ateb. Beth dŷn ni wedi bod yn siarad â Policy in Practice amdano yw meddwl am gamau y gallwn ni fod yn eu cymryd nawr, fory, i wneud yn siŵr bod y system yn gweithio'n well, a pha gamau y byddai angen eu cymryd mewn dwy neu dair blynedd - so, pa gamau fyddai angen deddfwriaeth o ran rhannu data, pa gamau fyddai angen newid systemau technegol. Ond mae'r gwaith y maen nhw wedi ei wneud hyd yn hyn yn dangos ei bod hi'n sicr yn mynd i fod yn bosib i gael system lot yn well na'r hyn sydd gyda ni ar hyn o bryd. Felly, fe fyddem ni'n awyddus i weld camau positif, mawr yn cael eu cymryd unwaith bod y gwaith yna mas, achos fe fydd e'n - . Beth rŷn ni'n ei obeithio yw canolbwyntio ffocws pobl ar ble y dylem ni fod yn gwneud y gwaith. Ac felly, mae hwnna'n rhywbeth y byddem ni'n awyddus i weld cynnydd mawr arno yn y dyfodol agos.
