English: Three years - . Thanks for your statement. Three years ago, in June 2018, the UK Government published its step-by-step guidance on applying to the EU settlement scheme, settled and pre-settled status, for EU, EEA and Swiss citizens and their families to apply to continue living in the UK after the application deadline of 30 June 2021 - by coincidence, my mother's birthday. You referred to the total 87,960 applications made by EU citizens resident in Wales, 58 per cent of which have secured settled status and 40 per cent pre-settled status. Across our UK, latest UK Government statistics show 5,423,300 applications and, of these, 5,118,300 have so far been processed. You referred to concerns, both for applicants who have secured pre-settled status and will still need to apply for settled status when they become eligible and people who have not yet applied to the scheme, and state that you have written to the UK Minister, Kevin Foster MP, calling for the deadline to be extended. However, how has the Welsh Government been working with the UK Government where, for example, Kevin Foster stated only last weekend 'Every day, thousands of people are being granted status under the hugely successful EU Settlement Scheme, and I would urge people who are eligible to apply as soon as possible to secure the status they deserve in UK law'? We've already confirmed that someone who has applied to the scheme by the 30 June deadline but has not had the decision by then will have their rights protected until their application is decided. You referred to Welsh Government support to EU citizens since 2019, which Welsh Conservatives have been pleased to support from the outset. This included the Welsh Government-funded service to assist EU nationals in Wales with registering for the EU settlement scheme, delivered through Flintshire citizens advice, Cardiff and Vale citizens advice and citizens advice Newport. And I was pleased, for example, to host a joint webinar with citizens advice Flintshire last July for EU, EEA or Swiss citizens to find out more about the help available for both the EU settlement scheme and employment and discrimination. The UK Government Minister, Kevin Foster, has said that the UK Government has also given £22 million to 72 organisations to help vulnerable and harder to reach groups to apply, and the Home Office has over 1,500 people working on the scheme. How have you ensured that the schemes supported by the Welsh Government have complemented rather than replicated these UK Government schemes, and what figures can you share or will you be able to share with us evidencing the specific outcomes from Welsh Government support disaggregated from the support schemes funded by the UK Government? Finally, there's particular concern about the number of older people who have not applied for settled status and about parents who seem unaware that they need to ensure that children, and even babies, apply for settled status this month. Listening to one of my favourite radio channels travelling down yesterday, Absolute Classic Rock, I heard UK Government adverts targeted at these specific groups accordingly. So, what specific action is the Welsh Government therefore taking, either with the UK Government or independently, to reach these groups of people?
Welsh: Tair blynedd - . Diolch am eich datganiad chi. Dair blynedd yn ôl, ym mis Mehefin 2018, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU ei chanllawiau cam wrth gam ar wneud cais i gynllun preswylydd sefydlog yr UE, statws preswylydd cyn-sefydlog a sefydlog, i ddinasyddion yr UE, yr AEE a'r Swistir a'u teuluoedd i wneud cais i barhau i fyw yn y DU ar ôl y dyddiad cau ar gyfer gwneud cais, sef 30 Mehefin 2021 - drwy gyd-ddigwyddiad, pen-blwydd fy mam. Gwnaethoch chi gyfeirio at gyfanswm y 87,960 o geisiadau sydd wedi'u gwneud gan ddinasyddion yr UE sy'n byw yng Nghymru, y mae 58 y cant ohonyn nhw wedi sicrhau statws preswylydd sefydlog a 40 y cant wedi sicrhau statws preswylydd cyn-sefydlog. Ledled ein DU, mae ystadegau diweddaraf Llywodraeth y DU yn dangos bod 5,423,300 o geisiadau ac, o'r rhain, bod 5,118,300 wedi'u prosesu hyd yma. Gwnaethoch chi gyfeirio at bryderon, ynghylch ymgeiswyr sydd wedi sicrhau statws preswylydd cyn-sefydlog ac y bydd dal angen iddyn nhw wneud cais ar gyfer statws preswylydd sefydlog pan fyddan nhw'n gymwys a phobl nad ydyn nhw wedi gwneud cais i'r cynllun eto, ac yr ydych chi'n dweud eich bod chi wedi ysgrifennu at Weinidog y DU, Kevin Foster AS, yn galw am ymestyn y dyddiad cau. Fodd bynnag, sut mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn gweithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU, er enghraifft pan ddywedodd Kevin Foster, dim ond y penwythnos diwethaf, 'Bob dydd, mae miloedd o bobl yn cael statws o dan Gynllun Statws Preswylwyr Sefydlog i Ddinasyddion yr UE hynod lwyddiannus, a byddwn i'n annog pobl sy'n gymwys i wneud cais cyn gynted â phosibl i sicrhau'r statws y maen nhw'n ei haeddu o dan gyfraith y DU'? Rydym ni eisoes wedi cadarnhau y bydd hawliau unigolyn sydd wedi gwneud cais i'r cynllun erbyn y dyddiad cau ar 30 Mehefin ond nad yw wedi cael y penderfyniad erbyn hynny yn cael eu diogelu hyd nes y bydd penderfyniad ar ei gais. Gwnaethoch chi gyfeirio at gefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru i ddinasyddion yr UE ers 2019, y mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig wedi bod yn falch o'u cefnogi o'r cychwyn cyntaf. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys y gwasanaeth wedi'i ariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru i gynorthwyo gwladolion yr UE yng Nghymru i gofrestru ar gyfer cynllun statws preswylwyr sefydlog i ddinasyddion yr UE, wedi'i ddarparu drwy gyngor ar bopeth sir y Fflint, Cyngor ar Bopeth Caerdydd a'r Fro a chyngor ar bopeth Casnewydd. Ac roeddwn i'n falch, er enghraifft, o gynnal gweminar ar y cyd â chyngor ar bopeth sir y Fflint fis Gorffennaf diwethaf i ddinasyddion yr UE, yr AEE neu'r Swistir gael gwybod mwy am y cymorth sydd ar gael ar gyfer cynllun statws preswylwyr sefydlog i ddinasyddion yr UE a chyflogaeth a gwahaniaethu. Mae Gweinidog Llywodraeth y DU, Kevin Foster, wedi dweud bod Llywodraeth y DU hefyd wedi rhoi £22 miliwn i 72 o sefydliadau i helpu grwpiau sy'n agored i niwed ac yn anoddach eu cyrraedd i wneud cais, ac mae gan y Swyddfa Gartref dros 1,500 o bobl yn gweithio ar y cynllun. Sut ydych chi wedi sicrhau bod y cynlluniau sydd wedi'u cefnogi gan Lywodraeth Cymru wedi ategu'r cynlluniau hyn gan Lywodraeth y DU yn hytrach na'u hailadrodd, a pha ffigurau y gallwch chi eu rhannu neu a fyddwch chi'n gallu eu rhannu â ni yn dangos tystiolaeth o ganlyniadau penodol cymorth Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'u dadgyfuno o'r cynlluniau cymorth sydd wedi'u hariannu gan Lywodraeth y DU? Yn olaf, mae pryder penodol ynghylch nifer y bobl hŷn nad ydyn nhw wedi gwneud cais am statws preswylydd sefydlog ac am rieni nad ydyn nhw'n ymwybodol bod angen iddyn nhw sicrhau bod plant, a hyd yn oed babanod, yn gwneud cais am statws preswylydd sefydlog y mis hwn. Wrth wrando ar un o fy hoff sianelau radio yn teithio i lawr ddoe, Absolute Classic Rock, clywais i hysbysebion Llywodraeth y DU wedi'u targedu at y grwpiau penodol hyn yn unol â hynny. Felly, pa gamau penodol y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd, naill ai gyda Llywodraeth y DU neu'n annibynnol, i gyrraedd y grwpiau hyn o bobl?
