English: Yes, I can hear you now - perfect. Okay, thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd, and thank you, Minister, for allowing us the opportunity to address the amendments to the additional learning needs and education tribunal Act, legislation that promises to have a substantial impact on education in Wales. Though initial discussions on this Act predate my election, I understand that, following early consultation on the ALN Act in 2017, it was agreed that supporting pupils with healthcare needs would sit within its framework, but now it seems that this is not the case. Schools in Wales will not be able to seek additional funding through the ALN funding stream, yet will still be expected to support pupils with complex medical needs, such as type 1 diabetes, and this was something that was brought up as well last week in the cross-party group on diabetes. I understand that the ALN Act is designed to remove the barriers that children have with their learning, and having a disability does not necessarily impose a barrier on learning. But the reality is that conditions like type 1 diabetes are extremely complex, and those who suffer from high or low blood sugars, which will almost certainly occur during the day, can experience confusion, loss of concentration and blurred vision. As highlighted earlier in the meeting, children can also suffer psychological problems with the injection of insulin and food restrictions, and this can cause mental health issues in their teenage years and later in life. Schools, as a result of the current ALN, could be forced to make decisions regarding staff resources that may prevent a school from offering educational interventions, such as literacy catch-up sessions, as staff members are instead identified to ensure that the safety needs of those pupils covered by the ALN are monitored and supported. Support for schools to provide the care and provision for additional learning will be crucial to helping provide the best care for disabled children. I'm sure every party will want to see the success of this legislation, however there remains considerable concern from groups, such as Diabetes UK, regarding unintended consequences that the additional learning needs and education tribunal Act could have when the provision for care is removed. In light of these concerns, can the Minister agree to relook at the situation again? Thank you.
Welsh: Gallaf, gallaf eich clywed chi nawr - perffaith. Iawn, diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, a diolch, Gweinidog, am roi cyfle i ni roi sylw i'r gwelliannau i'r Ddeddf anghenion dysgu ychwanegol a'r tribiwnlys addysg, deddfwriaeth sy'n addo cael effaith sylweddol ar addysg yng Nghymru. Er bod trafodaethau cychwynnol ar y Ddeddf hon yn rhagflaenu fy etholiad, rwyf i ar ddeall, yn dilyn ymgynghoriad cynnar ar y Ddeddf ADY yn 2017, y cytunwyd y byddai cefnogi disgyblion ag anghenion gofal iechyd yn rhan o'i fframwaith, ond erbyn hyn mae'n ymddangos nad yw hyn yn wir. Ni fydd ysgolion yng Nghymru yn gallu ceisio cyllid ychwanegol trwy'r ffrwd cyllid ADY, ac eto bydd disgwyl iddyn nhw gefnogi disgyblion ag anghenion meddygol cymhleth, fel diabetes math 1, ac roedd hyn yn rhywbeth a gafodd ei godi hefyd yr wythnos diwethaf yn y grŵp trawsbleidiol ar ddiabetes. Rwy'n deall bod y Ddeddf ADY wedi ei chynllunio i ddileu'r rhwystrau sydd gan blant o ran dysgu, ac nad yw bod ag anabledd o reidrwydd yn peri rhwystr i ddysgu. Ond y realiti yw bod cyflyrau fel diabetes math 1 yn gymhleth dros ben, a gall lefelau uchel neu isel o siwgr yn y gwaed, rhywbeth sydd bron yn sicr o ddigwydd yn ystod y dydd, arwain at ddryswch, diffyg canolbwyntio a golwg aneglur i'r rhai sy'n dioddef. Fel yr amlygwyd yn gynharach yn y cyfarfod, gall plant hefyd ddioddef problemau seicolegol oherwydd chwistrelliadau inswlin a chyfyngiadau ar fwyd, a gall hyn achosi problemau iechyd meddwl yn eu harddegau ac yn ddiweddarach mewn bywyd. Gallai ysgolion, o ganlyniad i'r ADY presennol, gael eu gorfodi i wneud penderfyniadau ynghylch adnoddau staff a allai atal ysgol rhag cynnig ymyriadau addysgol, fel sesiynau dal i fyny o ran llythrennedd, wrth i aelodau'r staff gael eu nodi yn lle hynny i sicrhau bod anghenion diogelwch y disgyblion hynny sy'n dod o dan yr ADY yn cael eu monitro a'u cefnogi. Bydd cymorth i ysgolion ddarparu'r gofal a'r ddarpariaeth ar gyfer dysgu ychwanegol yn hanfodol i helpu i ddarparu'r gofal gorau i blant anabl. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd pob plaid yn dymuno gweld llwyddiant y ddeddfwriaeth hon, ond mae gan grwpiau fel Diabetes UK gryn bryder o hyd ynghylch canlyniadau anfwriadol y gallai'r Ddeddf anghenion dysgu ychwanegol a'r tribiwnlys addysg eu cael pan gaiff y ddarpariaeth ar gyfer gofal ei dileu. Yng ngoleuni'r pryderon hyn, a wnaiff y Gweinidog gytuno i ailedrych ar y sefyllfa eto? Diolch.
