English: I thank the Minister for his reply, and obviously all of us would want to send our condolences to the foster parents and anyone else affected in this concern. It's clear from reading the child practice review report that the child had actually expressed very strong anxieties and uncertainties about his pathway, and one of the most fundamental and very disturbing things to read in the report is this breakdown in communications between a child, his foster carers and the authorities, who simply weren't listening. If I can ask two questions of the Minister? Earlier this morning, he produced a written statement on children's services in Powys, which talked about carrying on working with the county council. I want to understand whether he has taken this review report into account in issuing that written statement, as many people in Powys feel that this is another sign that things have broken down so fundamentally there that actually there needs to be more direct intervention than the Minister has been prepared to give so far, and I know I've discussed this with him in the past. The second element that I'd like to ask him about is that it becomes clear from reading the report that the national practice guidance that he has as the national Government, 'When I am Ready', which talks very clearly about allowing eligible teenagers to remain in care beyond the age of 18 if they're not ready to leave care, and talks very clearly about putting them at the centre of care plans - that good practice guidance simply wasn't followed in this case; no due care was taken to it. So, what assurances can he give the people in Powys now and the wider community that this guidance, which we trumpeted as being one of the world-beating kind of guidance for children in care, is actually being followed in all parts of Wales, particularly in Powys? How can he give those assurances going forward?
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ateb, ac yn amlwg byddai pob un ohonom eisiau anfon ein cydymdeimlad at y rhieni maeth ac unrhyw un arall a gafodd eu heffeithio gan hyn. Mae'n amlwg o ddarllen adroddiad yr adolygiad ymarfer plant fod y plentyn wedi mynegi pryderon ac ansicrwydd mawr iawn ynglŷn â'i lwybr, ac un o'r pethau mwyaf sylfaenol ac annymunol i'w darllen yn yr adroddiad yw'r methiant i gyfathrebu rhwng plentyn, ei ofalwyr maeth a'r awdurdodau, nad oeddent, yn syml iawn, yn gwrando. Os caf ofyn dau gwestiwn i'r Gweinidog. Yn gynharach y bore yma, cynhyrchodd ddatganiad ysgrifenedig ar wasanaethau plant ym Mhowys, a soniai am barhau i weithio gyda'r cyngor sir. Hoffwn ddeall a yw wedi ystyried adroddiad yr adolygiad wrth gyhoeddi'r datganiad ysgrifenedig hwnnw, gan fod llawer o bobl ym Mhowys yn teimlo bod hwn yn arwydd arall fod pethau wedi dirywio i'r fath raddau yno fel bod angen ymyrraeth fwy uniongyrchol nag y mae'r Gweinidog wedi bod yn barod i'w wneud hyd yn hyn mewn gwirionedd, a gwn fy mod wedi trafod hyn gydag ef yn y gorffennol. Yr ail elfen yr hoffwn ei holi amdani yw'r ffaith ei bod yn amlwg o ddarllen yr adroddiad fod y canllawiau ymarfer cenedlaethol sydd ganddo fel y Llywodraeth genedlaethol, 'Pan Fydda i'n Barod', sy'n sôn yn glir iawn am ganiatáu i rai pobl gymwys yn eu harddegau aros mewn gofal y tu hwnt i 18 oed os nad ydynt yn barod i adael gofal, ac sy'n sôn yn glir am eu rhoi yng nghanol cynlluniau gofal - ni chafodd y canllawiau arfer da eu dilyn yn yr achos hwn; ni roddwyd unrhyw ofal dyledus. Felly, pa sicrwydd y gall ei roi i bobl Powys yn awr ac i'r gymuned ehangach fod y canllawiau hyn, y cyhoeddwyd gennym eu bod ymysg canllawiau gorau'r byd ar gyfer plant mewn gofal, yn cael eu dilyn ym mhob rhan o Gymru mewn gwirionedd, yn enwedig ym Mhowys? Sut y gall roi sicrwydd o'r fath yn y dyfodol?
