English: Leader of the house, can we have a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for health, please, on paediatric rheumatology services in Wales? Sadly, in Wales, we do not have any paediatric rheumatology services - dedicated services - and in particular we do not have any teams to help young people who are diagnosed with arthritis at very young ages, very often at school age, and this causes a huge amount of problems, not only just from the pain side of managing the pain of arthritis, but also the ability to engage fully in the education system and be able to support children going through the education system so that they can reach their full potential. I'm led to believe, through a meeting that I had yesterday, that many people are diverted into the centres that are located in England, of which there are 12. In Scotland, there are two, and, in Northern Ireland, with a much smaller population than Wales, there is one dedicated centre, whereas at the moment there is just merely a consultant service here in south Wales, which doesn't provide the full service that a team approach would develop, where - . If you look at the standards that should be in place, there should be a consultant, there should be two nurse specialists, one physiotherapist, and an occupational therapist, to help develop the services here in Wales. I'd be grateful if we could have a statement so we can see whether the Government has any intention to bring forward what I would say is this missing link in the provision of healthcare for young people who suffer the pain - the chronic pain - of arthritis and the help that they must require.
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, a gawn ni ddatganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros iechyd, os gwelwch yn dda, ar wasanaethau rhewmatoleg bediatrig yng Nghymru? Yn anffodus, yng Nghymru, nid oes gennym unrhyw wasanaethau rhewmatoleg bediatrig - gwasanaethau penodedig - ac yn benodol nid oes gennym unrhyw dimau i helpu pobl ifanc sy'n canfod bod ganddynt arthritis yn ifanc iawn, yn aml iawn plant o oedran ysgol. Mae hyn yn achosi llawer iawn o broblemau, nid yn unig o ran yr ochr boen o reoli poen arthritis, ond hefyd y gallu i gymryd rhan lawn yn y system addysg a gallu cefnogi plant sy'n mynd drwy'r system addysg fel y gallant gyrraedd eu llawn botensial. Rydw i'n deall, yn dilyn cyfarfod a gefais ddoe, fod llawer o bobl yn cael eu hailgyfeirio i'r canolfannau yn Lloegr, lle ceir 12 ohonynt. Yn yr Alban, mae dwy ganolfan, ac yng Ngogledd Iwerddon, sydd â phoblogaeth lai o lawer na Chymru, ceir un ganolfan bwrpasol. Dim ond un gwasanaeth ymgynghorol sydd yma yn ne Cymru ar hyn o bryd, ac nid yw hwnnw'n darparu'r gwasanaeth llawn y byddai gweithio mewn tîm yn ei ddatblygu, lle - . Pe baech yn edrych ar y safonau a ddylai fod ar waith, fe ddylai fod meddyg ymgynghorol, fe ddylai fod dwy nyrs arbenigol, un ffisiotherapydd, ac un therapydd galwedigaethol, i helpu i ddatblygu'r gwasanaethau yma yng Nghymru. Byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe bai modd i ni gael datganiad fel y gallwn weld a oes gan y Llywodraeth unrhyw fwriad o gyflwyno'r hyn y byddwn i'n ei alw'n ddolen goll yn y ddarpariaeth o ofal iechyd i bobl ifanc sy'n dioddef poen - poen cronig - arthritis a'r cymorth y mae'n rhaid bod ei angen arnynt.
