English: Thank you, Llywydd. Can I thank everybody who has participated in the debate for their contributions? I'll try and respond in the time that I've got available to some of the key points that were made. Can I thank Suzy Davies for her contributions and her very well-made points about looked-after children? In our original inquiry, the evidence that we received on looked-after children from the heads of children's services in Wales was probably one of the most damning evidence sessions I'd ever sat through. It is a cause for concern that we still need to make so much progress in this area, and it is particularly important that we hear from the Minister how that link-up is going to work with the ministerial advisory group, the task and finish group and the Together for Children and Young People programme, particularly because of David leaving the Senedd. Thank you, Suzy, for the points on transition; it's crucially important that we get that right and make urgent progress in this area. The problems that we had with transition are, I think, a symptom of the fact that we are always too ready to fit children into the services, rather than the services around the children and young people, and that needs to change. Can I thank Rhun for his contribution on the missing middle? It's important to recognise that when we talk about the missing middle, they are by far the biggest group of children and young people that we need to reach. I've met with many families over the years, and have met very few where a child has a diagnosed mental illness, but many, many where children and young people are experiencing acute distress. Rhun made some points about Plaid's proposals for one-stop shops. I think where I certainly agree with him is the importance of that 'no wrong door' approach, which is something that the children's commissioner has also been promoting. We're already seeing good practice in places like Gwent, where every referral goes through a panel, and help is found for that young person. There's no question of being told that they don't meet the threshold. Can I thank Dawn for her contribution, also on the missing middle, a vitally important area? But also for highlighting the importance of psychological therapies, which has been a long-standing concern of the committee, not just in this area, actually - we've also raised concerns in relation to perinatal mental health, and I know the health committee has raised this regularly as well. It's good to hear that Matrics Plant is being published soon, and the committee will look forward to hearing the workforce plans that will support that work being taken forward, because it is crucially important. Thank you, Laura, for your kind words, and also for your contribution, and for highlighting the issue of crisis care. Too often, the young people who end up in a crisis situation are actually 'missing middle' young people, who wouldn't have ended up there if they'd had the support earlier on. I'm pleased that the Minister has reiterated her commitment to addressing this issue, and the task and finish group is going to be focusing on that, which is very welcome. What I would say, though, is that it's vital that the solutions that we find are child-centred solutions, and that we don't try and squeeze children and young people into an adult focus of crisis care. Can I thank the Minister for her contribution, and obviously recognise that it's early days? We welcome the fact that there is now a dedicated Minister to drive this work forward. I do look forward to working with you on these issues. They are thorny and complex issues, such as the complex care issues that you touched on in your response, but it is absolutely vital that we address these issues, and we can't simply leave these things to RPBs. There has to be a very clear expectation from Welsh Government that they deliver on this now, as Powys has done. That has to be done consistently across the whole of Wales. The Minister also referred to the progress that's being made in the early help and enhanced support work stream, which is indeed very welcome, being led by the wonderful Dr Liz Gregory from Gwent. We look forward to seeing that rolled out across Wales at the earliest possible opportunity. Can I, just in closing, then, thank everybody who's participated in the debate? Just really to reiterate my commitment and the committee's commitment to continuing to drive change in this area. In the 21 years I've been in the Senedd, we have constantly discussed the shortcomings in this service area, and I am absolutely determined that by the time we get to the end of this Senedd, we will be in a position where things are much better, not just in education, but across the whole system that is so crucial for our children and young people. Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. A gaf fi ddiolch i bawb sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn y ddadl am eu cyfraniadau? Fe geisiaf ymateb yn yr amser sydd gennyf i rai o'r prif bwyntiau a wnaed. A gaf fi ddiolch i Suzy Davies am ei chyfraniadau a'i phwyntiau da iawn am blant sy'n derbyn gofal? Yn ein hymchwiliad gwreiddiol, mae'n debyg mai'r dystiolaeth a gawsom ar blant sy'n derbyn gofal gan benaethiaid gwasanaethau plant yng Nghymru oedd un o'r sesiynau tystiolaeth mwyaf damniol y bu'n rhaid i mi eistedd drwyddynt erioed. Mae'n destun pryder fod angen inni wneud cymaint o gynnydd yn y maes hwn o hyd, ac mae'n arbennig o bwysig ein bod yn clywed gan y Gweinidog sut y bydd y cyswllt hwnnw'n gweithio gyda grŵp cynghori'r Gweinidog, y grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen a'r rhaglen Law yn Llaw at Blant a Phobl Ifanc, yn enwedig gan fod David yn gadael y Senedd. Diolch, Suzy, am y pwyntiau ar bontio; mae'n hanfodol bwysig ein bod yn cael hynny'n iawn ac yn gwneud cynnydd brys yn y maes hwn. Credaf fod y problemau a gawsom gyda phontio yn symptom o'r ffaith ein bod bob amser yn rhy barod i ffitio plant i mewn i wasanaethau, yn hytrach na ffitio gwasanaethau o gwmpas y plant a'r bobl ifanc, ac mae angen i hynny newid. A gaf fi ddiolch i Rhun am ei gyfraniad ar y canol coll? Mae'n bwysig cydnabod, pan soniwn am y canol coll, mai hwy yw'r grŵp mwyaf o bell ffordd o blant a phobl ifanc y mae angen inni eu cyrraedd. Rwyf wedi cyfarfod â llawer o deuluoedd dros y blynyddoedd, ac wedi cyfarfod ag ychydig iawn lle mae gan blentyn salwch meddwl y gwnaed diagnosis ohono, ond llawer iawn lle mae plant a phobl ifanc yn profi trallod difrifol. Gwnaeth Rhun bwyntiau am argymhellion Plaid Cymru ar gyfer siopau un stop. Credaf mai lle rwy'n sicr yn cytuno ag ef yw pwysigrwydd y dull 'dim drws anghywir', sy'n rhywbeth y mae'r comisiynydd plant wedi bod yn ei hyrwyddo hefyd. Rydym eisoes yn gweld ymarfer da mewn lleoedd fel Gwent, lle mae pob atgyfeiriad yn mynd drwy banel, a cheir hyd i gymorth i'r person ifanc. Nid oes cwestiwn o ddweud wrthynt nad ydynt yn cyrraedd y trothwy. A gaf fi ddiolch i Dawn am ei chyfraniad, hefyd ar y canol coll, sy'n faes hollbwysig? Ond hefyd am dynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd therapïau seicolegol, sydd wedi bod yn bryder hirsefydlog i'r pwyllgor, nid yn unig yn y maes hwn, mewn gwirionedd - rydym hefyd wedi mynegi pryderon mewn perthynas ag iechyd meddwl amenedigol, a gwn fod y pwyllgor iechyd wedi codi hyn droeon hefyd. Mae'n dda clywed bod Matrics Plant yn cael ei gyhoeddi'n fuan, a bydd y pwyllgor yn edrych ymlaen at glywed cynlluniau'r gweithlu a fydd yn cefnogi datblygiad y gwaith hwnnw, oherwydd mae'n hollbwysig. Diolch am eich geiriau caredig, Laura, ac am eich cyfraniad, ac am dynnu sylw at ofal mewn argyfwng. Yn rhy aml, mae'r bobl ifanc sy'n mynd i sefyllfa o argyfwng mewn gwirionedd yn bobl ifanc y 'canol coll', na fyddent wedi cyrraedd y sefyllfa honno pe baent wedi cael y gefnogaeth yn gynharach. Rwy'n falch fod y Gweinidog wedi ailadrodd ei hymrwymiad i fynd i'r afael â'r mater hwn, a bydd y grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen yn canolbwyntio ar hynny, ac mae hynny i'w groesawu'n fawr. Yr hyn y byddwn yn ei ddweud, serch hynny, yw ei bod yn hanfodol fod yr atebion a welwn yn atebion sy'n canolbwyntio ar y plentyn, ac nad ydym yn ceisio gwasgu plant a phobl ifanc i ffocws oedolyn ar ofal mewn argyfwng. A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei chyfraniad, a chydnabod yn amlwg ei bod yn ddyddiau cynnar? Croesawn y ffaith bod Gweinidog ymroddedig gennym nawr i yrru'r gwaith hwn yn ei flaen. Edrychaf ymlaen at weithio gyda chi ar y materion hyn. Maent yn faterion dyrys a chymhleth, megis y materion gofal cymhleth y sonioch chi amdanynt yn eich ymateb, ond mae'n gwbl hanfodol ein bod yn mynd i'r afael â'r materion hyn, ac ni allwn eu gadael i'r byrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol. Rhaid cael disgwyliad clir iawn gan Lywodraeth Cymru y byddant yn cyflawni hyn nawr, fel y gwnaeth Powys. Rhaid gwneud hynny'n gyson ledled Cymru gyfan. Cyfeiriodd y Gweinidog hefyd at y cynnydd sy'n cael ei wneud yn y ffrwd waith cymorth cynnar a chymorth estynedig, sy'n sicr i'w groesawu'n fawr, dan arweiniad gwych Dr Liz Gregory o Went. Edrychwn ymlaen at weld hynny'n cael ei gyflwyno ledled Cymru cyn gynted â phosibl. Wrth gloi, a gaf fi ddiolch felly i bawb sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn y ddadl? A dim ond ailadrodd fy ymrwymiad ac ymrwymiad y pwyllgor i barhau i ysgogi newid yn y maes hwn. Yn y 21 mlynedd y bûm yn y Senedd, rydym wedi trafod y diffygion yn y maes gwasanaeth hwn yn gyson, ac rwy'n gwbl benderfynol y byddwn, erbyn inni gyrraedd diwedd y Senedd hon, mewn sefyllfa lle mae pethau'n well o lawer, nid yn unig ym maes addysg, ond ar draws y system gyfan sydd mor hanfodol i'n plant a'n pobl ifanc. Diolch yn fawr.
