English: Last week, a woman who wanted help with her mother's personal independence payment assessment came to see me. The mother, a domestic abuse survivor, suffers from a range of conditions sustained as a result of a violent attack by her partner back in 2009. She's arthritic, she's got a range of skin conditions, internal organ problems, having been viciously attacked by a hammer and a Stanley knife and left for dead. Understandably, she also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Now, she was shouted at by a member of Capita's staff when trying to arrange a home visit for this PIP assessment. Capita has now accepted that a home visit is necessary, but they're unable to provide a suitable time around existing medical appointments, and if this next visit doesn't happen, then the PIP payments, the payments she is expecting, she faces losing. Now, the callous and cruel nature of the benefits system is undeniable, and when you face such harrowing stories in your constituency surgery, you can see the human face of that tragedy first hand. It's not the way for a woman who has been treated in this way to be treated by the state. The devolution of welfare would allow the Welsh Government to mitigate many of the problems associated with this callous system. So, could the leader of the house therefore bring forward a debate or a statement on what can be done by this Government to alleviate the awful pain and suffering brought about by the current welfare system? I have a second issue as well, and that's in relation to the Wales Governance Centre report out today, published with the University of South Wales, on the state of prisons in Wales. It concluded that the safety and state of prisons here is significantly worse than those in England, and, in fact, the number of recorded self-harm incidents and prison assaults in Wales has increased at a higher rate than in prisons in England since 2010, and there were more prison disturbances at HMP Parc in 2016 and 2017 than at any other prison in Wales and England. Thousands of prison officer posts have been cut, they face real-terms reduction in wages, and now staff and offenders are being put in danger as a result. Decisions about the Welsh prison estate should be taken in Wales and this evidence makes that clear. So, will the leader of the house bring forward a debate on the prison estate in Wales and how the Welsh Government can ensure that citizens who work as prison staff, or who are housed as offenders, are able to work or serve their sentences in a safe environment?
Welsh: Yr wythnos diwethaf, daeth menyw a oedd eisiau cymorth ag asesiad taliad annibyniaeth personol ei mam i fy ngweld i. Mae'r fam, sydd wedi goroesi cam-drin domestig, yn dioddef amryw o gyflyrau parhaus o ganlyniad i ymosodiad treisgar gan ei phartner yn ôl yn 2009. Mae arthritis arni, mae ganddi amrywiaeth o gyflyrau croen, problemau â'i horganau mewnol, ar ôl dioddef ymosodiad treisgar â morthwyl a chyllell Stanley a'i gadael i farw. A hawdd yw deall ei bod hi hefyd yn dioddef o anhwylder straen wedi trawma. Nawr, gwnaeth aelod o staff Capita weiddi arni wrth geisio trefnu ymweliad cartref ar gyfer yr asesiad PIP hwn. Mae Capita wedi derbyn bod angen ymweliad cartref erbyn hyn, ond nid ydyn nhw'n gallu rhoi amser addas oherwydd apwyntiadau meddygol sydd ganddi eisoes, ac os na fydd yr ymweliad nesaf hwn yn digwydd, mae'n bosibl y bydd hi'n colli'r taliadau annibyniaeth personol, y taliadau y mae hi'n disgwyl eu cael. Nawr, ni ellir gwadu natur greulon a dideimlad y system fudd-daliadau, a phan fyddwch yn clywed hanesion dirdynnol o'r fath yn eich cymhorthfa yn eich etholaeth chi, gallwch chi weld wyneb dynol y trychineb hwnnw'n drosoch eich hun. Nid hon yw'r ffordd y dylai'r wladwriaeth drin merch sydd wedi ei thrin yn y ffordd hon. Byddai datganoli lles yn galluogi Llywodraeth Cymru i liniaru llawer o'r problemau sy'n gysylltiedig â'r system ddideimlad hon. Felly, a wnaiff arweinydd y tŷ gyflwyno dadl neu ddatganiad ar beth y gall y Llywodraeth hon ei wneud i liniaru'r boen ofnadwy a'r dioddefaint a ddaw yn sgil y system lles bresennol? Mae gen i ail fater hefyd, ac mae hynny'n ymwneud ag adroddiad Canolfan Llywodraethiant Cymru a gyhoeddwyd heddiw, gyda Phrifysgol De Cymru, ar gyflwr carchardai yng Nghymru. Daeth i'r casgliad bod diogelwch a chyflwr carchardai yma yn waeth o lawer na'r rhai yn Lloegr, ac, yn wir, mae nifer yr achosion o hunan-niweidio ac ymosodiadau carchar a gofnodwyd yng Nghymru wedi cynyddu ar gyfradd uwch nag mewn carchardai yn Lloegr ers 2010, ac roedd mwy o helbulon carchar yn HMP Parc yn 2016 a 2017 nag mewn unrhyw garchar arall yng Nghymru a Lloegr. Mae miloedd o swyddi swyddogion carchar wedi'u dileu, maen nhw'n wynebu gostyngiad mewn cyflogau mewn termau real, ac mae staff a throseddwyr yn agored i berygl o ganlyniad i hyn. Dylai penderfyniadau ar gyflwr carchardai yng Nghymru gael eu gwneud yng Nghymru ac mae'r dystiolaeth hon yn gwneud hynny'n glir. Felly, a wnaiff arweinydd y tŷ gyflwyno dadl ar gyflwr carchardai yng Nghymru a sut y gall Llywodraeth Cymru sicrhau bod dinasyddion sy'n gweithio fel staff carchardai, neu'r rhai sydd wedi'u dal yn droseddwyr, yn gallu gweithio neu dreulio'u dedfrydau mewn amgylchedd diogel?
