English: I very much welcome your statement today, Minister, and the policy and the approach that we have here in Wales, and the increased investment, I think, is going to be very valuable because, as we all know, there are, sadly, far too many people in Wales, as with other parts of the UK, who have these alcohol and illegal-drug problems. And as well as preventing problems for the future, we need to address, as well as we can, those with those habits at the moment. You've touched on some of the tensions, Minister, between Welsh Government policy and Home Office policy, and I've heard from service providers that they do sometimes feel that they have to look both ways, as they describe it, and this does bring difficulties if you're trying to have an approach that is logical and doesn't have inconsistencies within it. I hear what you say about writing to UK Government, Minister - I just wonder whether there's anything else that might be done, in terms of helping service providers overcome those difficulties of trying to face both ways, because it does give rise to unproductive tensions and difficulties. In terms of the funding, Minister, I think some people feel that the money doesn't always filter down to the workforce as much as it might, and this then leads to problems of retention and recruitment, and I wonder if that's something that you recognise and you may take further action on. Just finally, mental health problems often overlap with these substance misuse addictions, and I think it's sometimes difficult to have joint funding in place for service providers to be able to apply for joint funding from the two sectors. I wonder if there's anything more that might be done to address those issues.
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu yn fawr eich datganiad heddiw, Gweinidog, a'r polisi a'r dull gweithredu sydd gennym yma yng Nghymru, a bydd y buddsoddiad cynyddol, rwy'n credu, yn werthfawr iawn oherwydd, fel y gwyddom ni i gyd, mae llawer gormod o bobl yng Nghymru, yn anffodus, fel gyda rhannau eraill o'r DU, sydd â'r problemau alcohol a chyffuriau anghyfreithlon hyn. Ac yn ogystal ag atal problemau ar gyfer y dyfodol, mae angen i ni fynd i'r afael â'r rhai sydd â'r arferion hynny ar hyn o bryd, gymaint ag y gallwn ni. Rydych chi wedi sôn am rai o'r tensiynau, Gweinidog, rhwng polisi Llywodraeth Cymru a pholisi'r Swyddfa Gartref, ac rwyf wedi clywed gan ddarparwyr gwasanaethau eu bod weithiau'n teimlo bod yn rhaid iddynt edrych y ddwy ffordd, fel y maen nhw'n ei ddisgrifio, ac mae hyn yn dod ag anawsterau os ydych chi'n ceisio bod â dull gweithredu rhesymegol ac nad oes anghysondebau ynddo. Rwy'n clywed yr hyn yr ydych chi'n ei ddweud am ysgrifennu at Lywodraeth y DU, Gweinidog - meddwl ydw i tybed a oes unrhyw beth arall y gellid ei wneud, o ran helpu darparwyr gwasanaethau i oresgyn yr anawsterau hynny o geisio wynebu'r ddwy ffordd, oherwydd mae'n arwain at densiynau ac anawsterau anghynhyrchiol. O ran y cyllid, Gweinidog, rwy'n credu bod rhai pobl o'r farn nad yw'r arian bob amser yn hidlo i lawr i'r gweithlu gymaint ag y gallai, ac mae hyn wedyn yn arwain at broblemau cadw a recriwtio, a tybed a yw hynny'n rhywbeth yr ydych chi'n ei gydnabod ac efallai y byddwch yn cymryd camau pellach. Yn olaf, mae problemau iechyd meddwl yn aml yn gorgyffwrdd â'r dibyniaethau hyn ar gamddefnyddio sylweddau, ac rwy'n credu ei bod weithiau'n anodd cael cyllid ar y cyd i ddarparwyr gwasanaethau allu gwneud cais am gyllid ar y cyd gan y ddau sector. Tybed a oes unrhyw beth arall y gellid ei wneud i fynd i'r afael â'r materion hynny.
