English: Well, Deputy Presiding Officer, I think I covered quite a lot of what the Member asked me in answers to previous Assembly Members. I didn't, however, address the issue about veterans, which I think is something that she's right to raise. Under the priority need legislation, the priority need for armed services personnel only applies at the point of discharge from the regular armed forces, and it doesn't apply to reservists, spouses or other members of the extended family. We have, however, within the code of guidance, suggested local authorities, when considering urgent housing need, give additional preference to anyone who has a serious injury, medical condition, or any impairment, which they or a member of their household has sustained as a result of service in the armed forces. And we also have a specific housing pathway for ex-service personnel, which provides information and signposting for services and cross-tenure housing options available for service personnel and their families on transfer back to civilian life. We also developed, published and disseminated advice cards, leaflets and posters to publicise the pathway within the armed forces community and with existing rough-sleepers, including the contact details for the veterans' gateway service, which provides a one-stop shop for veterans and family members to access services and support in one place. So, I would very much like to highlight that Members, if they are encountering somebody from an armed forces personnel background, should be directing them towards the veterans' gateway service, which will help connect them with the right support and right people who will be able to deal with their very specific need.
Welsh: Wel, Dirprwy Lywydd, rwy'n credu i mi grybwyll llawer o'r hyn a ofynnodd yr Aelod i mi mewn atebion blaenorol gan Aelodau Cynulliad. Er hynny, wnes i ddim ymdrin â mater y cyn-filwyr, a chredaf fod hynny'n rhywbeth y mae'n iawn iddi ei godi. O dan y ddeddfwriaeth blaenoriaeth angen, mae'r flaenoriaeth angen ar gyfer personél y lluoedd arfog yn berthnasol wrth iddyn nhw adael y lluoedd arfog rheolaidd, ac nid yw hynny'n berthnasol i filwyr wrth gefn, gwŷr a gwragedd priod neu aelodau eraill o'r teulu estynedig. Rydym ni, er hynny, o fewn y cod canllawiau, wedi awgrymu bod awdurdodau lleol, wrth ystyried yr angen am dai ar fyrder, yn rhoi blaenoriaeth ychwanegol i unrhyw un sydd ag anaf difrifol, neu â chyflwr meddygol, neu unrhyw nam, y maen nhw neu aelod o'u haelwyd wedi ei ddioddef o ganlyniad i wasanaethu yn y lluoedd arfog. Ac mae gennym hefyd lwybr tai penodol i gyn-filwyr, sy'n darparu gwybodaeth ac yn cyfeirio at ddewisiadau llety ar eu cyfer nhw, ac mae croes ddeiliadaeth ar gael i bersonél y lluoedd arfog a'u teuluoedd wrth drosglwyddo yn ôl i fywyd sifil. Hefyd datblygwyd, cyhoeddwyd a dosbarthwyd cardiau cynghori, taflenni a phosteri i roi cyhoeddusrwydd i'r llwybr o fewn cymuned y lluoedd arfog a chyda'r cysgwyr allan presennol, gan gynnwys manylion cyswllt ar gyfer gwasanaeth porth y cyn-filwyr, sy'n darparu un safle holl gynhwysol i gyn-filwyr ac aelodau o'u teuluoedd fel y gallant gael gafael ar wasanaethau a chymorth yn yr un man. Felly, hoffwn i'n fawr iawn dynnu sylw'r Aelodau, os ydyn nhw'n dod ar draws rhywun o gefndir personél y lluoedd arfog, y dylen nhw eu cyfeirio at wasanaeth porth y cyn-filwyr, a fydd yn eu helpu i gysylltu â'r cymorth iawn a'r bobl iawn a fydd yn gallu ymdrin â'u hanghenion penodol nhw.
