English: Thank you. Now, you don't need me to tell you that, across north Wales, we have a severe shortage of housing accommodation. During 2021-22, 1,126 people contacted Gwynedd Council because they were homeless - 50 per cent more than in 2018-19. Around 2,000 are on the list for social housing in Conwy County Borough Council, and in Wrexham, the number of individuals classed as homeless has more than doubled to 2,238, from 2019-20 to 2021-22. Now, despite people being so desperate for housing units, it is a fact that Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has as many as 750 units of accommodation across north Wales that are not in use. I have raised it with the Minister for health; I have raised it also with the Minister for Climate Change. The Minister for Health and Social Services informed me again last week that the health board is now in the process of looking at procurement options to work with a partner for its residences. Now, I know from liaising with registered social landlords that these units could be made into viable housing stock, either for those in the medical sector, or, indeed, those who simply want a home. So, Minister, do you agree with me, given that I have raised these concerns now for - oh, I started raising them last year, when I found out that we had all this empty housing stock. Do you not think that it's unacceptable that there isn't some kind of partnership working now between the Minister for Climate Change, who is responsible for housing; the Minister for health; and whoever it takes, to get this empty stock back in as livable, warm, safe homes for all those many, many hundreds of people who just lie lingering on a housing waiting list? Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch. Nawr, nid oes angen imi ddweud wrthych fod gennym brinder difrifol o ddarpariaeth dai ar draws gogledd Cymru. Yn ystod 2021-22, cysylltodd 1,126 o bobl â Chyngor Gwynedd oherwydd eu bod yn ddigartref - 50 y cant yn fwy nag yn 2018-19. Mae tua 2,000 ar y rhestr ar gyfer tai cymdeithasol yng Nghyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy, ac yn Wrecsam, mae nifer yr unigolion sy'n cael eu hystyried yn ddigartref wedi mwy na dyblu i 2,238, rhwng 2019-20 a 2021-22. Nawr, er bod pobl yn ysu am unedau tai, mae'n ffaith bod gan Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr gymaint â 750 o unedau llety ar draws gogledd Cymru nad ydynt yn cael eu defnyddio. Rwyf wedi ei godi gyda'r Gweinidog iechyd; rwyf wedi ei godi hefyd gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd. Fe wnaeth y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol roi gwybod imi eto yr wythnos diwethaf fod y bwrdd iechyd bellach yn y broses o edrych ar opsiynau caffael i weithio gyda phartner ar gyfer ei breswylfeydd. Nawr, rwy'n gwybod o gysylltu â landlordiaid cymdeithasol cofrestredig y gellid gwneud yr unedau hyn yn stoc dai hyfyw, naill ai i'r rhai yn y sector meddygol, neu'n wir, i rai sydd ond eisiau cartref. Felly, Weinidog, a ydych chi'n cytuno, o ystyried fy mod wedi codi'r pryderon hyn nawr ers - o, dechreuais eu codi y llynedd, pan ddarganfûm fod gennym yr holl stoc tai gwag hyn. Onid ydych chi'n credu ei bod hi'n annerbyniol nad oes rhyw fath o weithio mewn partneriaeth bellach rhwng y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd, sy'n gyfrifol am dai; y Gweinidog iechyd; a phwy bynnag y mae'n ei gymryd i wneud y stoc wag hon yn gartrefi cynnes, diogel i'r cannoedd lawer o bobl sy'n oedi ar restr aros am dai allu byw ynddynt? Diolch.
