English: I absolutely want to see a position, Llywydd, in which young people are not looked after in those very unsatisfactory circumstances. Since last May's elections, I have been meeting, alongside my colleague Julie Morgan, with leaders of the newly constituted authorities. One of my messages to those leaders is that this is an agenda for them and for their chief executives, not simply for cabinet portfolio holders and directors of social services. For us to make the difference we need to make in the lives of those young people - remembering that the local authority is the corporate parent of those young people; every single member of that local authority has a responsibility to every single one of those young people - then that has to be a responsibility owned in the office of the leader and the chief executive. They have to take responsibility across the range of services. I mentioned earlier, Llywydd, the success that Carmarthenshire has had in this area. One of the reasons that the then leader of Carmarthenshire said to me for their success is that they have always run education and social services under the one portfolio for these purposes, so that there is no sense that what happens to a child is that when things start to become difficult, the education department thinks it's the social services department's responsibility, and the social services department thinks it should be dealt with by education. That's why I think it is a clear corporate responsibility that lies in the offices of the leader and the chief executive, because it is only by mobilising the support available across all those responsibilities - and that includes housing, of course, as well - that we will be able to make the difference in the lives of young people that we want to see, and I'm sure Members across the Chamber would want to see.
Welsh: Rwy'n awyddus iawn i weld sefyllfa, Llywydd, pan nad yw pobl ifanc yn derbyn gofal o dan yr amgylchiadau anfoddhaol iawn hynny. Ers etholiadau mis Mai diwethaf, rwyf wedi bod yn cyfarfod, ochr yn ochr â fy nghyd-Aelod Julie Morgan, ag arweinwyr yr awdurdodau sydd newydd eu cyfansoddi. Un o fy negeseuon i'r arweinwyr hynny yw bod hon yn agenda iddyn nhw ac i'w prif weithredwyr, nid yn unig i ddeiliaid portffolio cabinet a chyfarwyddwyr gwasanaethau cymdeithasol. Er mwyn inni wneud y gwahaniaeth y mae angen inni ei wneud ym mywydau'r bobl ifanc hynny - gan gofio mai'r awdurdod lleol yw rhiant corfforaethol y bobl ifanc hynny; mae gan bob un aelod o'r awdurdod lleol hwnnw gyfrifoldeb dros bob un o'r bobl ifanc hynny - yna rhaid i hynny fod yn gyfrifoldeb swyddfa'r arweinydd a'r prif weithredwr. Rhaid iddyn nhw gymryd cyfrifoldeb ar draws yr ystod o wasanaethau. Soniais yn gynharach, Llywydd, am y llwyddiant y mae sir Gaerfyrddin wedi'i gael yn y maes hwn. Un o'r rhesymau y dywedodd arweinydd sir Gaerfyrddin wrthyf ar y pryd, dros eu llwyddiant, yw eu bod bob amser wedi rhedeg addysg a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol o dan yr un portffolio at y dibenion hyn, does dim synnwyr yn yr hyn sy'n digwydd i blentyn pan fo'r adran addysg, pan fydd pethau'n dechrau mynd yn anodd, yn credu mai cyfrifoldeb yr adran gwasanaethau cymdeithasol ydyw, ac mae'r adran gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn credu y dylai addysg ymdrin â'r mater. Dyna pam y credaf ei fod yn gyfrifoldeb corfforaethol clir swyddfeydd yr arweinydd a'r prif weithredwr, oherwydd dim ond drwy ysgogi'r cymorth sydd ar gael ar draws yr holl gyfrifoldebau hynny - ac mae hynny'n cynnwys tai, wrth gwrs, hefyd - y byddwn yn gallu gwneud y gwahaniaeth ym mywydau pobl ifanc yr ydym eisiau ei weld, ac rwy'n siŵr y byddai Aelodau ar draws y Siambr eisiau ei weld.
