English: I thank Peter Fox very much for that question. I am aware of Scope, and I've had a letter from Scope as well. Welsh Government officials have met with Scope officials already twice this year. I can absolutely assure you of our continuing commitment to provide opportunities for all children and young people to play in safety and to support improved access to play for disabled children. Both the Welsh Government and the play sector in Wales favour inclusive play where able-bodied and disabled children are able to play together, and this is supported by the Children's Play Policy Forum and UK Play Safety Forum, who released a joint position statement this year supporting inclusive play, which, of course, goes beyond accessible playgrounds. Local authorities, as I'm sure the Member will know, are required to ensure that there are sufficient play opportunities for all children in line with the provisions under section 11 of the Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010, and this includes specific provision for the consideration of the needs of disabled children. So, local authorities should be looking at this already. Just to give an indication about how much support is being put in by the Welsh Government, since the play sufficiency duty was introduced in November 2012, we've made £33.330 million revenue funding available to local authorities to enable them to meet the requirements - that's since 2012 - but, for the financial years 2020-21 and 2021-22, we awarded local authorities a total of £8 million COVID recovery capital funding, which gave authorities the flexibility to purchase large items and refurbish playgrounds and access to playgrounds.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i Peter Fox am y cwestiwn hwnnw. Rwy'n ymwybodol o Scope, ac rwyf wedi cael llythyr gan Scope hefyd. Mae swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru eisoes wedi cyfarfod â swyddogion Scope ddwywaith eleni. Gallaf eich sicrhau'n llwyr o'n hymrwymiad parhaus i ddarparu cyfleoedd i bob plentyn a pherson ifanc allu chwarae'n ddiogel ac i gefnogi gwell mynediad at chwarae i blant anabl. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru a'r sector chwarae yng Nghymru yn ffafrio chwarae cynhwysol lle gall plant anabl a phlant nad ydynt yn anabl chwarae gyda'i gilydd, a chefnogir hyn gan y Fforwm Polisi Chwarae Plant a Fforwm Diogelwch Chwarae y DU, a ryddhaodd ddatganiad sefyllfa ar y cyd eleni i gefnogi chwarae cynhwysol, sydd, wrth gwrs, yn mynd y tu hwnt i feysydd chwarae hygyrch. Mae'n ofynnol i awdurdodau lleol, fel y gŵyr yr Aelod, rwy'n siŵr, sicrhau bod digon o gyfleoedd chwarae ar gael i bob plentyn yn unol â'r darpariaethau o dan adran 11 o Fesur Plant a Theuluoedd (Cymru) 2010, ac mae hyn yn cynnwys darpariaeth benodol ar gyfer ystyried anghenion plant anabl. Felly, dylai awdurdodau lleol fod yn edrych ar hyn eisoes. Er mwyn rhoi syniad o faint o gymorth sy'n cael ei roi gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ers cyflwyno'r ddyletswydd digonolrwydd cyfleoedd chwarae ym mis Tachwedd 2012, rydym wedi sicrhau bod £33.330 miliwn o gyllid refeniw ar gael i awdurdodau lleol i'w galluogi i fodloni'r gofynion - mae hynny ers 2012 - ond ar gyfer blynyddoedd ariannol 2020-21 a 2021-22, dyfarnwyd cyfanswm o £8 miliwn o gyllid cyfalaf adferiad COVID i awdurdodau lleol, a oedd yn rhoi hyblygrwydd i awdurdodau brynu eitemau mawr ac adnewyddu meysydd chwarae a mynediad atynt.
