English: Dirprwy Lywydd, I think this Government has a creditable record of working with Members in other parties where there are proposals that we are able to support. Indeed, I was responsible for responding to the safe nurse staffing Bill in the last Assembly, a backbench Bill with widespread support across the Assembly, where a great deal of work went on between the Government and Members in different parties here to get that piece of legislation safely onto the statute book. The position last week was different. The Government's position was clear. There are a series of actions that we are taking that we believe will have a far more significant impact on improving services for people with autism and their families than would have been secured had that Bill moved forward. The Minister outlined those carefully during that debate - the fact that we are to have a statutory code of practice, that the integrated autism service will be available in all parts of Wales, that we have to allow the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 passed by this Assembly to have its impact. The Minister made a series of undertakings to continue to report to committee and on the floor of the Assembly in the progress of that legislation, and he said - I heard him say on this floor during that debate - that, when those aspects have had a chance to be bedded in, to mature, if at the end of that there are things that can be done through legislation, our minds are not closed to that. If we do that in the way that the Member first mentioned in his initial question, I think there is a better chance that families across Wales will get the sort of service they want, and we will be better off if we continue to try to work on that shared agenda, rather than using this forum as a way simply to try to allocate blame.
Welsh: Dirprwy Lywydd, rwy'n credu bod gan y Llywodraeth hon hanes canmoladwy o weithio gydag Aelodau mewn pleidiau eraill pan geir cynigion y gallwn ni eu cefnogi. Yn wir, roeddwn i'n gyfrifol am ymateb i'r Bil lefelau diogel staff nyrsio yn y Cynulliad diwethaf, Bil meinciau cefn â chefnogaeth eang ar draws y Cynulliad, pryd y gwnaed llawer iawn o waith rhwng y Llywodraeth ac Aelodau mewn gwahanol bleidiau yn y fan yma i gael y darn hwnnw o ddeddfwriaeth ar y llyfr statud yn ddiogel. Roedd y sefyllfa yr wythnos diwethaf yn wahanol. Roedd safbwynt y Llywodraeth yn eglur. Mae cyfres o gamau yr ydym ni'n eu cymryd yr ydym ni'n credu y byddant yn cael effaith lawer mwy sylweddol ar wella gwasanaethau i bobl ag awtistiaeth a'u teuluoedd nag y byddai wedi cael ei sicrhau pe byddai'r Bil wedi symud yn ei flaen. Amlinellodd y Gweinidog y rheini'n ofalus yn ystod y ddadl honno - y ffaith ein bod ni'n mynd i gael cod ymarfer statudol, y bydd y gwasanaeth awtistiaeth integredig ar gael ym mhob rhan o Gymru, bod yn rhaid i ni ganiatáu i Ddeddf Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol a'r Tribiwnlys Addysg (Cymru) 2018 a basiwyd gan y Cynulliad hwn gael ei heffaith. Gwnaeth y Gweinidog gyfres o ymrwymiadau i barhau i adrodd i'r pwyllgor ac ar lawr y Cynulliad o ran hynt y ddeddfwriaeth honno, a dywedodd - fe'i clywais yn dweud ar y llawr hwn yn ystod y ddadl honno - pan fydd yr agweddau hynny wedi cael cyfle i ymsefydlu, i aeddfedu, os ar ddiwedd hynny bod pethau y gellir eu gwneud drwy ddeddfwriaeth, nid yw ein meddyliau wedi eu cau i hynny. Os byddwn yn gwneud hynny yn y modd y soniodd yr Aelod amdano gyntaf yn ei gwestiwn cychwynnol, credaf fod gwell siawns y bydd teuluoedd ledled Cymru yn cael y math o wasanaeth y maen nhw ei eisiau, a byddwn yn well ein byd os byddwn yn parhau i geisio gweithio ar yr agenda gyffredin honno, yn hytrach na defnyddio'r fforwm hwn fel ffordd o daflu bai.
