English: I very much welcome the progress that's been made, but it's not underpinned by legislation, which is the point of the Bill that I'm proposing, and we have an opportunity to further that cause - the cause that, I think, we all share in terms of wanting to promote older people's rights - by supporting this Bill today. And, of course, that's why the older people's commissioner - the current older people's commissioner - and the Equalities and Human Rights Commission are both backing my proposals for a Bill. I know a whole host of other organisations and stakeholders are backing this Bill, including Action on Elder Abuse Cymru, Age Alliance Wales, Age Connects Wales, Age Cymru, the Alzheimer's Society Cymru, Care and Repair Cymru, the Carers Trust Wales, Carers Wales, Cymru Older People's Alliance, Prime Cymru, the British Geriatric Society, the Centre for Ageing and Dementia Research - I could go on and on and on with more and more people on that list, but I think it shows the huge support that there is out there for a Bill of this kind. Just a very brief word on the potential financial implications of the Bill: the closest comparator in terms of legislation and associated costings is, of course, the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure 2011. Now, the regulatory impact assessment for that Measure suggested that the costs over a three-year period of implementation were around £1.5 million. If we increase those by inflation, then it suggests that the costs for this sort of Bill might be around £1.75 million. However, the reality is that some of those costs are already being borne by Government because of the duties that are already contained, as I mentioned before, in the social services and well-being Act. So, it's likely to be much less than that. So, these costs, of course, will need further clarification in the future and more detailed consideration, but it suggests to me that this is an extremely affordable thing for us to be able to do. In closing, then, Llywydd, I just want to remind people that we have a historic opportunity today. We embarked upon this journey a number of years ago and we can deliver and pioneer a new rights-based approach for older people's rights here in Wales. We've got an opportunity to develop legislation that will result in practical improvements in the decision making and delivery of public services, that will raise awareness of older people's rights and give them recognition and status, and that will empower those hundreds of thousands of older people across Wales to access those rights, and I urge Members to support the motion.
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'n fawr y cynnydd a wnaed, ond nid yw'n seiliedig ar ddeddfwriaeth, sef pwynt y Bil rwy'n ei gynnig, ac mae gennym gyfle i hyrwyddo'r achos hwnnw - achos y mae pawb ohonom yn ei rannu, rwy'n credu, o ran yr awydd i hyrwyddo hawliau pobl hŷn - drwy gefnogi'r Bil hwn heddiw. Ac wrth gwrs, dyna pam y mae'r comisiynydd pobl hŷn - y comisiynydd pobl hŷn presennol - a'r Comisiwn Cydraddoldeb a Hawliau Dynol yn cefnogi fy nghynigion ar gyfer Bil. Gwn fod llu o sefydliadau a rhanddeiliaid eraill yn cefnogi'r Bil, gan gynnwys Action on Elder Abuse Cymru, Cynghrair Henoed Cymru, Age Connects Cymru, Age Cymru, Cymdeithas Alzheimer's Cymru, Gofal a Thrwsio Cymru, Ymddiriedolaeth Gofalwyr Cymru, Gofalwyr Cymru, Cynghrair Pobl Hŷn Cymru, Prime Cymru, Cymdeithas Henoed Prydain, y Ganolfan Ymchwil Heneiddio a Dementia - gallwn fynd ymlaen ac ymlaen ac ymlaen gyda mwy a mwy o bobl ar y rhestr honno, ond credaf ei bod yn dangos y gefnogaeth aruthrol a geir i Fil o'r math hwn. Gair sydyn am oblygiadau ariannol y Bil; y cymharydd agosaf o ran deddfwriaeth a chostau cysylltiedig yw Mesur Hawliau Plant a Phobl Ifanc (Cymru) 2011 wrth gwrs. Nawr, awgrymodd yr asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol ar y Mesur hwnnw fod y costau dros gyfnod o dair blynedd o weithredu oddeutu £1.5 miliwn. Byddai cynyddu'r rhain drwy ychwanegu chwyddiant yn awgrymu y byddai costau Bil o'r math hwn oddeutu £1.75 miliwn. Fodd bynnag, y realiti yw bod rhai o'r costau hynny eisoes yn cael eu talu gan y Llywodraeth oherwydd y dyletswyddau sydd eisoes wedi'u cynnwys, fel y soniais, yn y Ddeddf gwasanaethau cymdeithasol a llesiant. Felly, mae'n debygol o fod yn llawer llai na hynny. Felly, bydd angen egluro mwy ar y costau hyn, wrth gwrs, a'u hystyried yn fwy manwl, ond mae'n awgrymu i mi fod hyn yn rhywbeth hynod fforddiadwy i ni allu ei wneud. I gloi felly, Lywydd, hoffwn atgoffa pobl fod gennym gyfle hanesyddol heddiw. Cychwynasom ar y daith hon nifer o flynyddoedd yn ôl, a gallwn ddarparu ac arloesi dull newydd sy'n seiliedig ar hawliau mewn perthynas â hawliau pobl hŷn yma yng Nghymru. Mae gennym gyfle i ddatblygu deddfwriaeth a fydd yn arwain at welliannau ymarferol wrth wneud penderfyniadau a darparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, a fydd codi ymwybyddiaeth o hawliau pobl hŷn ac yn rhoi cydnabyddiaeth a statws iddynt, ac a fydd yn grymuso'r cannoedd o filoedd o bobl hŷn ledled Cymru i fynnu'r hawliau hynny, ac rwy'n annog yr Aelodau i gefnogi'r cynnig.
