English: The first thing I want to do is to send my condolences to anyone who has been affected by what is a real tragedy. But the tragedy, it seems to me, in all of this - Neil Hamilton did talk about the chain of events and conversations, and I agree with him, because what it should have been was a circle. We had this extended chain of individuals speaking separately, when they should have been clearly joined up. I don't know about other people, but I do know about myself: I'm absolutely fed up of talking about case reviews where things have gone wrong from a lack of joined-up thinking - these key words that don't ever deliver any change. And yet we will learn from it. Well, will we? That's the question I'm posing here today, because it's really, really upsetting to read about the anguish that this young person went through, who expressed that to certain individuals, but nobody along the line actively intervened in the best interests of this child. I know in the past - and I'm sincerely hoping things have changed - when I've written to Powys council because I was concerned about a family, and asked them to act, they said that I had to write my concerns to the cabinet member. Whoever heard of such a thing? I wrote back in the strongest of terms, saying, 'Just forget that one, and try and take some action.' I still had to write back six months later, asking for a reply. So, whilst we might have lots of faith here, mine has been stretched to the ultimate, and it would have been about this time. I see others nodding their heads saying they've had the same experience. So, my question here is that we really need to go in and make sure that not only do Powys learn these lessons, but that everybody else learns them too, so that we don't have to read about young, vulnerable individuals who are terrified of going into the world on their own, who didn't actually have to go into the world on their own, because there was a system in place that would have supported them, and that was called, 'When I'm Ready'. I really think we ought to do something about this now. I'm really fed up with sitting here listening to the failures, time and time again.
Welsh: Y peth cyntaf rwyf eisiau ei wneud yw cydymdeimlo ag unrhyw un sydd wedi cael ei effeithio gan y trychineb hwn. Ond ymddengys i mi mai'r trychineb yn hyn oll - siaradodd Neil Hamilton am y gadwyn o ddigwyddiadau a sgyrsiau, ac rwy'n cytuno ag ef, oherwydd dylai fod wedi bod yn gylch. Roedd gennym gadwyn estynedig o unigolion yn siarad ar wahân, pan ddylent yn amlwg fod wedi'u cysylltu. Nid wyf yn gwybod am bobl eraill, ond rwy'n gwybod amdanaf fi fy hun: rwyf wedi cael llond bol ar siarad am adolygiadau achos lle mae pethau wedi mynd o chwith o ganlyniad i ddiffyg meddwl cydgysylltiedig - y geiriau allweddol hyn nad ydynt byth yn cyflawni unrhyw newid. Ac eto, fe fyddwn yn dysgu ohono. Wel, a fyddwn ni? Dyna'r cwestiwn rwy'n ei ofyn yma heddiw, oherwydd mae'n hynod boenus i ddarllen am ofid y person ifanc hwn, ac er iddo fynegi'r gofid hwnnw wrth rai unigolion, ni wnaeth neb erioed ymyrryd yn weithredol er lles gorau'r plentyn. Rwy'n gwybod, yn y gorffennol - ac rwy'n llawn obeithio bod pethau wedi newid - pan ysgrifennais at gyngor Powys am fy mod yn poeni am deulu, ac wedi gofyn iddynt weithredu, dywedwyd wrthyf y byddai'n rhaid i mi ysgrifennu at yr aelod cabinet yn nodi fy mhryderon. Pwy yn y byd a glywodd y fath beth? Ysgrifennais yn ôl yn y modd cryfaf, gan ddweud, 'Anghofiwch am hynny, a cheisiwch wneud rhywbeth.' Roedd yn rhaid i mi ysgrifennu'n ôl chwe mis yn ddiweddarach i ofyn am ateb. Felly, er y gall fod gennym lawer o ffydd yma, mae fy ffydd i wedi cael ei ymestyn i'r pen, a byddai wedi bod o gwmpas yr adeg hon. Rwy'n gweld eraill yn nodio i ddweud eu bod wedi cael yr un profiad. Felly, fy nghwestiwn yma yw bod yn rhaid i ni fynd i mewn a sicrhau bod Powys yn dysgu'r gwersi hyn, a bod pawb arall yn eu dysgu hefyd, fel nad oes raid i ni ddarllen am unigolion ifanc, agored i niwed sy'n ofni camu i'r byd mawr ar eu pen eu hunain, nad oedd yn rhaid iddynt gamu i'r byd mawr ar eu pen eu hunain, oherwydd bod yna system ar waith a fyddai wedi eu cefnogi, system o'r enw, 'Pan Fydda i'n Barod'. Rwy'n credu y dylem wneud rhywbeth ynglŷn â hyn yn awr mewn gwirionedd. Rwyf wedi cael llond bol ar eistedd yma'n gwrando ar y methiannau, dro ar ôl tro.
