English: I'm sure you will join me in congratulating Professor Maria Hinfelaar on being installed as the vice-chancellor of Wrexham Glyndŵr University last Thursday, and on their achieving above the UK average for full-time first degree leavers achieving graduate-level employment. If call for two statements - first, on educational provision for young adults with autistic spectrum conditions and learning difficulties. I learned at the weekend that colleges making provision for vocational pathways in education for these young students had received a letter from the Welsh Government stating that funding for courses would be reduced from three years to two, unlike the referrals they receive from England, which are still three years, and despite concern among such colleges that this will severely impact on the outcomes for the students concerned. Secondly, and finally, I call for a statement on epilepsy. At lunchtime, I hosted an Epilepsy Aware event, celebrating the fact that the charity has been providing services for families and carers for 30 years. But we heard that, although potentially 70 per cent of people with epilepsy can have their seizures controlled with optimal treatment, advice and support, only 52 per cent currently have such control, with great costs, both human and financial; that over 40 per cent of deaths and 59 per cent of child deaths could be avoided with better management; that there are unequal opportunities in health, education, leisure and employment; that there is inequality of provision across Wales; and that there is a need for a public campaign on what to do if someone has a seizure, educating people on how simple actions can save lives. There is, as I know - or there has been in previous Assemblies - a Welsh Government epilepsy strategy. But these problems have been highlighted in 2016, and this community, I think, deserves a statement from the Welsh Government, accordingly.
Welsh: Rwyf yn siŵr y byddwch yn ymuno â mi i longyfarch yr Athro Maria Hinfelaar ar gael ei phenodi'n is-ganghellor Prifysgol Glyndŵr Wrecsam ddydd Iau diwethaf, a'r ffaith fod nifer y myfyrwyr gradd gyntaf llawn amser yno a lwyddodd i gael gwaith ar lefel graddedigion ar ôl gadael yn uwch na chyfartaledd y DU. Galwaf am ddau ddatganiad - y cyntaf ynglŷn â darpariaeth addysgol ar gyfer oedolion ifanc â chyflyrau ar y sbectrwm awtistig ac anawsterau dysgu. Dysgais dros y penwythnos fod colegau sy'n darparu ar gyfer llwybrau galwedigaethol mewn addysg i'r myfyrwyr ifanc hyn wedi cael llythyr gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn datgan y bydd cyllid ar gyfer cyrsiau yn cael ei leihau o dair blynedd i ddwy flynedd, yn wahanol i'r atgyfeiriadau a gânt o Loegr, sy'n dal i fod yn dair blynedd, ac er gwaethaf pryder ymysg colegau y bydd hyn yn effeithio'n ddifrifol ar ddeilliannau'r myfyrwyr dan sylw. Yn ail, ac yn olaf, galwaf am ddatganiad ynglŷn ag epilepsi. Yn ystod amser cinio, cynhaliais ddigwyddiad Ymwybodol o Epilepsi, yn dathlu'r ffaith fod yr elusen wedi bod yn darparu gwasanaethau i deuluoedd a gofalwyr am 30 o flynyddoedd. Ond clywsom, er y gellid o bosibl reoli trawiadau 70 y cant o bobl ag epilepsi â thriniaeth, cyngor a chefnogaeth dda iawn, dim ond 52 y cant ar hyn o bryd sydd â rheolaeth o'r fath, gyda chostau mawr, yn rhai dynol ac ariannol; y gellid osgoi dros 40 y cant o farwolaethau a 59 y cant o farwolaethau plant gyda rheolaeth well; bod cyfleoedd anghyfartal mewn iechyd, addysg, hamdden a chyflogaeth; bod anghydraddoldeb o ran y ddarpariaeth ledled Cymru; a bod angen ymgyrch gyhoeddus yn egluro beth i'w wneud os bydd rhywun yn cael trawiad epileptig, ac addysgu pobl ynglŷn â sut y gall camau syml arbed bywydau. Gwn fod - neu y bu mewn Cynulliadau blaenorol - strategaeth epilepsi gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Ond mae'r problemau hyn wedi eu hamlygu yn 2016, ac mae'r gymuned hon, yn fy marn i, yn haeddu datganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru, yn unol â hynny.
