English: It is a pleasure to contribute briefly to this debate and to pay tribute to my fellow committee members, our Chair and the clerking team for their important work on this consultation and over the past few years. It's a great surprise that this was the first time that the Senedd has scrutinised the implementation of the Act, an Act that is so important, so ambitious, but hasn't been given the necessary support since its adoption. I do hope that this can change in the very near future, because the post-COVID recovery does provide us with an opportunity to change so many things. As the report says, it's an opportunity for policy makers to assess how we can redraw public services for the better, and also an opportunity to look at the indicators, the way we analyse success as a result of the Act; it's an opportunity to reframe the whole picture. I understand that bodies such as ColegauCymru made this point in their evidence to us. After all, the context of how public services are provided over the next few years will be very different to what those drafting the legislation would have anticipated. The Government needs to speak to public bodies as they reconsider this, along with communicating with the public too. This piece of legislation, as has already been stated, is one that could be innovative, and we are living in a period where radical changes can happen. The next Senedd will have an opportunity to deliver the potential of this far-reaching legislation, but, without the necessary support or leadership from Government, that opportunity will be wasted. Thanking the clerking team for all of their work once again and everyone who provided evidence to the committee, thank you.
Welsh: Mae'n bleser gen i siarad yn fyr yn y ddadl hon ac i dalu teyrnged i'm cyd-aelodau o'r pwyllgor, ein Cadeirydd a'r tîm clercio am y gwaith pwysig gyda'r ymgynghoriad hwn a thrwy gydol y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Mae'n syndod mawr taw dyma oedd y tro cyntaf i'r Senedd graffu ar weithrediad y Ddeddf, Deddf sydd mor bwysig, mor uchelgeisiol, ond nad yw wedi cael y cymorth angenrheidiol ers iddi gael ei phasio. Gobeithio'n wir y gall hyn newid yn y dyfodol agos iawn, achos mae'r adferiad wedi COVID yn cynnig cyfle i newid cymaint o bethau: fel mae'r adroddiad yn ei ddweud, cyfle i lunwyr polisi asesu sut y gellir ail-greu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus er gwell, a hefyd cyfle i ailedrych ar yr arwyddion, yr indicators, y ffyrdd rŷn ni'n pwyso a mesur llwyddiant yn sgil y Ddeddf - cyfle i ailfframio'r cyfan. Rwy'n ymwybodol bod cyrff megis ColegauCymru wedi gwneud y pwynt hwn yn eu tystiolaeth inni. Wedi'r cyfan, bydd cyd-destun fel mae gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn cael eu darparu dros y blynyddoedd nesaf yn dra gwahanol i'r hyn fuasai'r rhai oedd wedi llunio'r Ddeddf wedi ei ragweld. Mae angen i Llywodraeth siarad â chyrff cyhoeddus wrth iddynt ailystyried hyn, ynghyd ag aelodau'r cyhoedd. Mae'r darn yma o ddeddfwriaeth, fel sydd wedi cael ei ddweud eisoes, yn un gall fod yn arloesol, ac rŷn ni'n byw mewn cyfnod lle mae newidiadau radical yn gallu digwydd. Cyfle fydd gan y Senedd nesaf i wireddu potensial y Ddeddf bellgyrhaeddol hon. Ond heb y cymorth angenrheidiol na'r arweinyddiaeth gan y Llywodraeth, gwastraff fydd y cyfle hwnnw. Gan ddiolch eto i'r tîm clercio am eu holl waith ac i bawb oedd wedi rhoi tystiolaeth i'r pwyllgor, diolch yn fawr.
