English: You're obviously right in what you say in talking about your grandfather in terms of, actually, you know, we commemorate the sacrifice of those lost but also remember the suffering of those who survived as well, which is why it's so important, as a community, as a country and a Welsh Government, that we support those who have served and who continue to serve as well. In terms of the challenges, there is support there. We are proud to support Veterans' NHS Wales - a unique service of its kind in the UK - but, clearly, as our scoping exercise has identified, there are gaps and, unfortunately, some people do, and, as you say, can sometimes fall through those gaps. So, it's a matter now of actually how we close them and work with those partner organisations to ensure that, actually, if the support is there, people know where to go to get the support as well, and it's signposted effectively and in the right places. Like I said, I've heard, very movingly on some occasions, on some of the visits I've been on in this role, particularly to organisations such as Woody's Lodge, from veterans themselves of actually the challenges they faced when they left the services and feeling that they were let down. It really did move me, spur me on to make sure that we do, in the next stage in the work of Welsh Government, make sure that we close those gaps to the best of our ability as well, and, actually, how we best support those charitable organisations that, as you say, do wonderful work. And, actually, it would not be possible to do this work without the partnership and without the people who have that expertise. Because we know, in many cases, actually, a lot of these organisations are peer led as well, which makes a huge difference to a veteran if they know they can go and talk to somebody who has shared those similar experiences as well and will understand where they're coming from. So, whilst I'm not able to go into budget figures, as the Member would expect today, I would like to place on record assurances that this Government is committed to continuing to build on the work of supporting veterans and our armed forces communities in Wales.
Welsh: Mae'n amlwg eich bod chi'n iawn yn yr hyn a ddywedwch wrth sôn am eich tad-cu, wyddoch chi, o ran ein bod ni'n coffáu aberth y rhai a gollwyd ond hefyd yn cofio dioddefaint y rhai a oroesodd, a dyna pam ei bod mor bwysig ein bod ni, fel cymuned, fel gwlad ac fel Llywodraeth yng Nghymru, ein bod ni'n cefnogi'r rhai sydd wedi rhoi gwasanaeth ac sy'n parhau i wneud hynny hefyd. O ran yr heriau, mae'r gefnogaeth yno. Rydym yn falch o gefnogi GIG Cymru i Gyn-filwyr - gwasanaeth unigryw o'i fath yn y DU - ond, yn amlwg, fel y nododd ein hymarfer cwmpasu, mae yna fylchau ac, yn anffodus, mae rhai pobl, weithiau, yn cwympo trwyddynt, fel y dywedwch. Felly, mae'n fater bellach o sut yr ydym ni'n cau'r bylchau ac yn gweithio gyda'r sefydliadau partner hynny i sicrhau, mewn gwirionedd, os yw'r cymorth ar gael, fod pobl yn gwybod ble i fynd i gael y cymorth hwnnw, a bod y mynegbyst yn effeithiol ac yn y mannau cywir. Fel y dywedais, rwyf wedi clywed, ar rai o'r ymweliadau y bum arnynt yn y swydd hon, yn enwedig â sefydliadau fel Woody's Lodge, gan y cyn-filwyr eu hunain, yn deimladwy iawn ar rai achlysuron, am yr heriau a wynebwyd ganddynt mewn gwirionedd ar ôl gadael y lluoedd arfog a theimlo eu bod nhw wedi cael eu siomi. Fe gefais i fy nghyffwrdd gan hyn, a'm sbarduno i sicrhau ein bod ni, yn y cam nesaf yng ngwaith Llywodraeth Cymru, yn gwneud yn siŵr ein bod yn cau'r bylchau hynny hyd eithaf ein gallu, a hefyd yn cefnogi'r sefydliadau elusennol hynny, fel y dywedwch, sy'n gwneud gwaith ardderchog. Ac, mewn gwirionedd, ni fyddai'n bosibl gwneud y gwaith hwn heb bartneriaeth a heb y bobl sydd â'r arbenigedd hwnnw. Oherwydd gwyddom, mewn sawl achos, fod llawer o'r sefydliadau hyn yn cael eu harwain gan gymheiriaid hefyd, sy'n gwneud gwahaniaeth enfawr i gyn-filwyr os ydynt yn gwybod bod modd mynd i siarad â rhywun sydd wedi rhannu'r un profiadau ac yn gallu deall ei gilydd. Felly, er nad wyf i'n gallu ymhelaethu ar ffigurau'r gyllideb, fel y byddai'r Aelod yn ei ddisgwyl heddiw, hoffwn i fynegi'r sicrwydd ar goedd bod y Llywodraeth hon wedi ymrwymo i barhau i adeiladu ar y gwaith o gefnogi cyn-filwyr a chymunedau'r lluoedd arfog yng Nghymru.
