English: Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. We hear today that there's been a 22 per cent increase in the deaths of homeless people. The numbers, of course, relate to Office for National Statistics research across the whole of Wales and England. I'd be grateful if the Welsh Government could make a statement on the situation in Wales, so that we can understand how this increase in drug poisoning, as I understand it, has affected people who are homeless in this country. I would also appreciate a statement from the health Minister - I can see he's in his place at the moment - on how we deal with drugs issues, particularly on the interface between dealing with addiction, with homelessness, and the criminal justice system. I understand that there is a very real difficulty in the policy that we're taking at the moment that means that people who are suffering from addictions are not always receiving the appropriate treatment, and that service providers have significant difficulties in delivering the sort of treatment that many people who are suffering with different addictions actually require. So, I'd be grateful if the Welsh Government could provide us with a statement on those matters. I'd also like to ask for a statement on the matters that have already been addressed in this session by Joyce Watson. I think all of us who saw the research published by the BBC - or broadcast by the BBC - last night were absolutely appalled that that is happening in this country. And, for all of us who have concerns on these issues, I think we all want to see far higher levels of regulation from the Welsh Government. Now, I understand that a voluntary code of conduct is being proposed at the moment on animal sanctuaries by the Welsh Government. I'd like to have a statement from the Welsh Government, and I'd like to understand why that is not a statutory code. I want to understand what the Welsh Government is going to do to ensure that there are far higher levels of regulation, and far higher quality of welfare regulations in place, to ensure that the unscrupulous, cruel and potentially illegal activities that are taking place in this country, on our watch, are addressed and are tackled. The Minister will be aware that, as a former Minister myself, I was aware that some of these issues required legislation. I see no reason now why the Welsh Government cannot move forward and put these matters onto the statute to ensure that we have comprehensive animal welfare legislation in Wales that addresses the issues that have been raised in terms of puppy farms, but also reaches out to ensure that animal sanctuaries are included, and also all those areas and businesses that are breeding animals for profit.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Rydym wedi clywed heddiw y bu cynnydd o 22 y cant yn nifer y bobl ddigartref sy'n marw. Mae'r niferoedd, wrth gwrs, yn ymwneud ag ymchwil y Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol ledled Cymru gyfan a Lloegr. Byddwn i'n ddiolchgar pe gallai Llywodraeth Cymru roi datganiad am y sefyllfa yng Nghymru, er mwyn i ni allu deall sut y mae'r cynnydd hwn mewn achosion o wenwyno gan gyffuriau, yn ôl yr hyn a ddeallaf, wedi effeithio ar bobl sy'n ddigartref yn y wlad hon. Byddwn i hefyd yn gwerthfawrogi datganiad gan y Gweinidog iechyd - gallaf weld ei fod yn ei sedd ar hyn o bryd - ynglŷn â sut yr ydym yn delio â materion cyffuriau, yn enwedig o ran y sefyllfa gyswllt rhwng ymdrin â chaethiwed, â digartrefedd, a'r system cyfiawnder troseddol. Rwy'n deall bod anhawster gwirioneddol iawn yn y polisi yr ydym yn ei ddilyn ar hyn o bryd sy'n golygu nad yw pobl sy'n dioddef o fod yn gaeth i sylweddau bob amser yn derbyn y driniaeth briodol, a bod darparwyr gwasanaethau yn cael anawsterau sylweddol wrth ddarparu'r math o driniaeth sydd ei angen mewn gwirionedd ar lawer o bobl sy'n dioddef o fod yn gaeth i wahanol sylweddau. Felly, byddwn i'n ddiolchgar pe gallai Llywodraeth Cymru roi datganiad i ni am y materion hynny. Hoffwn i hefyd ofyn am ddatganiad ar y materion y mae Joyce Watson eisoes wedi ymdrin â nhw yn ystod y sesiwn hon. Rwy'n credu bod pob un ohonom a welodd yr ymchwil a gyhoeddwyd gan y BBC - neu a ddarlledwyd gan y BBC - neithiwr wedi eu brawychu'n llwyr bod hynny'n digwydd yn y wlad hon. Ac i bob un ohonom sydd â phryderon ynglŷn â'r materion hyn, rwy'n credu yr hoffem ni i gyd weld lefelau rheoleiddio uwch o lawer gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Nawr, rwy'n deall bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynnig cod ymddygiad gwirfoddol ar gyfer gwarchodfeydd anifeiliaid ar hyn o bryd. Hoffwn i gael datganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru, a hoffwn i ddeall pam nad yw hwnnw'n god statudol. Rwy'n dymuno deall beth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru am ei wneud i sicrhau bod lefelau rheoleiddio llawer uwch, a rheoliadau lles o ansawdd llawer uwch ar waith, i sicrhau bod y gweithgareddau diegwyddor, creulon ac o bosibl, anghyfreithlon hyn sy'n digwydd yn y wlad hon, o dan ein goruchwyliaeth ni, yn cael sylw ac y gweithredir arnyn nhw. Bydd y Gweinidog yn ymwybodol fy mod i, fel cyn Weinidog fy hun, yn ymwybodol bod angen deddfu ar rai o'r materion hyn. Nid wyf i'n gweld unrhyw reswm yn awr pam na all Llywodraeth Cymru symud ymlaen a rhoi'r materion hyn ar y statud er mwyn sicrhau bod gennym ddeddfwriaeth lles anifeiliaid gynhwysfawr yng Nghymru sy'n mynd i'r afael â'r materion a godwyd o ran ffermydd cŵn bach, ond sydd hefyd yn ehangu i sicrhau bod gwarchodfeydd anifeiliaid wedi eu cynnwys, a hefyd yr holl feysydd a busnesau sy'n bridio anifeiliaid er elw.
