English: Dirprwy Lywydd, can I thank David Rowlands for his comments? I share his view that the demise of Remploy units was extremely disappointing and disadvantaged many, many people indeed. Can I also thank David Rowlands for recognising the good work that is taking place by Business Wales and Careers Wales? The Member rightly identified the need to improve access to employment, and that includes transportation, as a consequence of £800 million of investment in rolling stock. Under the new Wales and borders franchise agreement we will see new trains - half of which will be built in Wales - offering access for all, and I'm also pleased to say that as a consequence of our investment in the south Wales metro, all stations within the metro will be step-free. Almost £200 million is being spent on stations across the Wales and borders route network, and, again, we will see a considerable sum of money invested in ensuring that as many stations as possible are step-free. I think also, in terms of the future of the bus industry - and I'll be introducing legislation in the new year - and alongside the reforms that we wish to make to the way that local bus services are managed and planned, we also have ambitious plans for replacing the fleet of 2,300 buses in Wales with zero-emissions vehicles and vehicles that offer, again, access to all people who until now have often faced disabling barriers. So, in terms of transport, we are most certainly moving in the right direction, and we are doing it at maximum pace. David Rowlands noted what I touched on earlier, which was that there is a huge untapped talent pool that should be embraced by businesses. I've already outlined the research that has been undertaken and which shows that disabled employees are more likely to stay in a job for longer and have less sickness absence, but it's also the case that disabled people have huge, huge opportunities now to start and grow their own business, with the support that is offered by Business Wales. I should highlight to Members, so that they are able to disseminate this information to their constituents, that a participation fund exists within Business Wales's service, and that's available to pay for any additional support disabled people are faced with, to help them overcome the barriers to participating in business start-up activities, and this is in addition to the standard business-planning modules that are available face-to-face or online.
Welsh: Dirprwy Lywydd, a gaf i ddiolch i David Rowlands am ei sylwadau? Rwy'n cytuno â'r farn bod tranc unedau Remploy yn siom fawr ac i hynny roi llawer iawn o bobl yn wir o dan anfantais. A gaf i hefyd ddiolch i David Rowlands am gydnabod y gwaith da sy'n cael ei wneud gan Busnes Cymru a Gyrfa Cymru? Nododd yr Aelod yn gywir yr angen i'w gwneud hi'n haws cael gwaith, ac mae hynny'n cynnwys cludiant, o ganlyniad i fuddsoddiad o £800 miliwn mewn cerbydau. O dan gytundeb masnachfraint newydd Cymru a'r Gororau byddwn yn gweld trenau newydd - y caiff hanner ohonynt eu hadeiladu yng Nghymru - yn cynnig mynediad i bawb, ac rwyf hefyd yn falch o ddweud, o ganlyniad i'n buddsoddiad ym metro de Cymru, y bydd pob gorsaf o fewn y metro yn rai heb risiau. Mae bron i £200 miliwn yn cael ei wario ar orsafoedd ar draws rhwydwaith llwybrau Cymru a'r Gororau, ac, unwaith eto, byddwn yn gweld swm sylweddol o arian yn cael ei fuddsoddi i sicrhau bod cynifer o orsafoedd â phosib yn rhai heb risiau. Rwy'n credu hefyd, o ran dyfodol y diwydiant bysiau - a byddaf yn cyflwyno deddfwriaeth yn y flwyddyn newydd - ynghyd â'r diwygiadau yr ydym ni eisiau eu gwneud i'r ffordd y mae gwasanaethau bysiau lleol yn cael eu rheoli a'u cynllunio, mae gennym ni hefyd gynlluniau uchelgeisiol ar gyfer adnewyddu'r fflyd o 2,300 o fysiau yng Nghymru sydd â cherbydau dim allyriadau a cherbydau sy'n cynnig, unwaith eto, fynediad i bawb sydd hyd yma yn aml wedi wynebu rhwystrau anablu. Felly, o ran trafnidiaeth, rydym ni yn sicr yn symud i'r cyfeiriad cywir, ac rydym ni'n gwneud hynny'n eithaf cyflym. Cyfeiriodd David Rowlands at yr hyn y bu imi sôn amdano'n gynharach, sef bod adnodd anferthol dihysbydd o dalent y dylai busnesau fanteisio arno. Rwyf eisoes wedi amlinellu'r ymchwil a wnaed ac sy'n dangos bod cyflogeion anabl yn fwy tebygol o aros mewn swydd am gyfnod hwy a chael llai o absenoldeb oherwydd salwch, ond mae hefyd yn wir bod gan bobl anabl gyfleoedd enfawr, enfawr nawr i ddechrau a thyfu eu busnes eu hunain, gyda'r cymorth sy'n cael ei gynnig gan Busnes Cymru. Dylwn bwysleisio wrth Aelodau, fel y gallant ledaenu'r wybodaeth hon i'w hetholwyr, bod cronfa gyfranogi yn bodoli yn rhan o wasanaeth Busnes Cymru, ac sydd ar gael i dalu am unrhyw gymorth ychwanegol y mae pobl anabl yn ei wynebu, i'w helpu i oresgyn y rhwystrau sy'n eu hatal rhag cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau dechrau busnes, ac mae hyn yn ychwanegol at y modiwlau cynllunio busnes safonol sydd ar gael wyneb yn wyneb neu ar-lein.
