English: Can I thank Sam for giving me some time to contribute to this debate, and for tabling it in the first place? I think what speaks in abundance, I think we can all agree, is that Sam Rowlands has a clear passion for north Wales and for the area that he represents. You're a really strong advocate for it, and I really think that came through in your remarks on behalf of the people of Wales's second best region [ Laughter.] But I think the point he was making was true - the rest of Wales outside of Cardiff has so much to offer. But I wanted to use this opportunity to mention the recent report, 'Levelling the playing field', which was released by the committee that I sit on with responsibility for sport. It looked into participation in sport and physical activity in disadvantaged areas. We know that the World Health Organization in 2020 said that, globally, one in four adults did not meet the global recommended levels of physical activity, and, before the pandemic, only 32 per cent of adults participated in sporting activities three times a week, whilst over 40 per cent did none at all. During the inquiry, we heard from a range of stakeholders that there are a number of barriers facing those in disadvantaged areas from participating in sport and in physical activity. They range from the suitability of facilities, a lack of safe spaces for doing exercise, reductions in time allocated for sport, and stereotypes that frankly belong in the past. Therefore, I'm keen to hear from the Deputy Minister in her response how she intends to tackle those barriers across Wales by working with Sport Wales and other stakeholders to ensure that sport is something that's accessible to all, regardless of health, background or where you live.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Sam am roi ychydig o amser i mi gyfrannu at y ddadl hon, ac am ei chyflwyno yn y lle cyntaf? Rwy'n credu y gallwn gytuno ei bod hi'n amlwg iawn fod Sam Rowlands yn teimlo'n angerddol am ogledd Cymru a'r ardal y mae'n ei chynrychioli. Rydych chi'n ei hyrwyddo'n gadarn iawn, ac rwy'n credu'n gryf fod hynny wedi'i gyfleu yn eich sylwadau ar ran ail ranbarth gorau Cymru [ Chwerthin.] Ond rwy'n credu bod y pwynt a wnaeth yn wir - mae gan weddill Cymru y tu allan i Gaerdydd gymaint i'w gynnig. Ond roeddwn am ddefnyddio'r cyfle yma i sôn am yr adroddiad diweddar, 'Sicrhau chwarae teg', a gafodd ei ryddhau gan y pwyllgor rwy'n aelod ohono gyda chyfrifoldeb am chwaraeon. Edrychai ar y nifer sy'n cymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon a gweithgarwch corfforol mewn ardaloedd difreintiedig. Gwyddom fod Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd yn 2020 wedi dweud, yn fyd-eang, nad oedd un o bob pedwar oedolyn yn cyflawni'r lefelau byd-eang a argymhellir o weithgarwch corfforol, a chyn y pandemig, dim ond 32 y cant o oedolion a oedd yn cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau chwaraeon dair gwaith yr wythnos, tra bod dros 40 y cant yn gwneud dim o gwbl. Yn ystod yr ymchwiliad, clywsom gan ystod o randdeiliaid fod nifer o rwystrau'n wynebu'r rheini mewn ardaloedd difreintiedig rhag cymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon ac mewn gweithgarwch corfforol. Maent yn amrywio o addasrwydd cyfleusterau, prinder mannau diogel ar gyfer gwneud ymarfer corff, dyrannu llai o amser ar gyfer chwaraeon, ac ystrydebau sy'n perthyn i'r gorffennol a bod yn onest. Felly, rwy'n awyddus i glywed gan y Dirprwy Weinidog yn ei hymateb sut y mae'n bwriadu mynd i'r afael â'r rhwystrau hynny ledled Cymru drwy weithio gyda Chwaraeon Cymru a rhanddeiliaid eraill i sicrhau bod chwaraeon yn rhywbeth sy'n hygyrch i bawb, ni waeth beth fo'u hiechyd, eu cefndir neu ble rydych chi'n byw.
