English: I would like to congratulate Angela for bringing the debate, as someone who has dyslexia. I do find it interesting, sometimes, when you're looking at certain pages, or certain things that you're trying to compute, and then, obviously, express yourself. But maybe some people have cards dished out differently, and obviously my dyslexia was made up by my dashing good looks when they were giving out the cards at the start of life. [Laughter.] I think the substance of Angela's speech really encapsulates that there does need to be more done. Time and time again, we do come here and say, 'More needs to be done on problem A, problem B and problem C', but when you look at the numbers that Angela has identified here - something between 300,000 and 500,000 people, right the way through their lives, have issues with dyslexia on a different and sliding scale - and the help that can be put in place, at the start of the education system, can be put there if the will is there at a local authority level, and, indeed, by direction of Government. I would implore the Government to take a grip of this situation, because, as Angela evidenced in her contribution, there are wide disparities across Wales, and those disparities can only be there because, in certain postcode areas, i.e. local authority areas, that help has been withheld for financial reasons. That isn't good enough in the second decade of the twenty-first century. In my closing comments I would like to put on record my appreciation and a tribute to the coach who took me in hand, a Mr Wilson, who sadly has long departed this world, and gave me confidence and the ability to actually overcome the issues that I had with dyslexia. Today, for want of a better reason, I stand here and debate and discuss. Some people might moan and begrudge that, but I do do that. [Interruption.] It could have been so different. I do also pay tribute to the poor French master and the Latin teacher who tried to teach me Latin and French. Trying to teach a dyslexic Latin and French is not the solution to the problem of dyslexia, I can assure you. But, please, Minister, be positive in your engagement in this debate today. There are solutions there. The solutions just need to be brought forward.
Welsh: Hoffwn longyfarch Angela am gyflwyno'r ddadl, fel rhywun sydd â dyslecsia. Rwy'n ei ystyried yn ddiddorol, weithiau, pan fyddwch yn edrych ar rai tudalennau, neu ar rai pethau rydych yn ceisio gwneud synnwyr ohonynt, ac yna, yn amlwg, mynegi eich hun. Ond efallai fod y cardiau wedi'u delio'n wahanol i rai pobl, ac yn amlwg, gwnaed iawn am fy nyslecsia gan fy wyneb golygus wrth ddelio'r cardiau ar ddechrau bywyd. [Chwerthin.] Rwy'n meddwl bod sylwedd araith Angela yn crisialu'n bendant fod angen gwneud mwy. Dro ar ôl tro, down yma a dweud, 'Mae angen gwneud mwy ynglŷn â phroblem A, problem B a phroblem C', ond pan edrychwch ar y niferoedd y mae Angela wedi nodi yma - rhywle rhwng 300,000 a 500,000 o bobl, ar hyd eu bywydau, yn cael problemau gyda dyslecsia i wahanol raddau - a'r cymorth y gellid ei roi ar waith ar ddechrau'r system addysg, gellir ei roi yno os yw'r ewyllys yno ar lefel awdurdod lleol, ac yn wir, yn ôl cyfarwyddyd y Llywodraeth. Byddwn yn erfyn ar y Llywodraeth i gael rheolaeth ar y sefyllfa hon, oherwydd, fel y dangosodd Angela yn ei chyfraniad, mae yna wahaniaethau mawr ledled Cymru, a'r unig reswm y mae'r gwahaniaethau hynny yno yw oherwydd bod y cymorth wedi'i gadw'n ôl mewn ardaloedd cod post penodol, hynny yw mewn ardaloedd awdurdodau lleol, am resymau ariannol. Nid yw hynny'n ddigon da yn ail ddegawd yr unfed ganrif ar hugain. Yn fy sylwadau i gloi hoffwn gofnodi fy ngwerthfawrogiad a rhoi teyrnged i'r hyfforddwr a fu'n fy nghynorthwyo i, Mr Wilson, sydd, yn anffodus, wedi ymadael â'r fuchedd hon ers tro byd, a rhoddodd hyder a gallu i mi mewn gwirionedd i oresgyn y problemau a oedd gennyf gyda dyslecsia. Heddiw, yn niffyg rheswm gwell, rwy'n sefyll yma ac yn dadlau a thrafod. Efallai y bydd rhai pobl yn cwyno ac yn gwarafun hynny, ond rwy'n gwneud hynny. [Torri ar draws.] Gallai fod wedi bod mor wahanol. Rwyf hefyd yn talu teyrnged i'r athro Ffrangeg druan a'r athro Lladin a geisiodd ddysgu Lladin a Ffrangeg i mi. Nid yw ceisio dysgu Lladin a Ffrangeg i rywun dyslecsig yn ateb i broblem dyslecsia, gallaf eich sicrhau. Ond os gwelwch yn dda, Weinidog, byddwch yn gadarnhaol yn eich cyfraniad i'r ddadl hon heddiw. Mae yna atebion i'w cael, ond mae angen cyflwyno'r atebion hynny.
