English: A very important debate, and I thank Vikki as well for all her time and hard work in this policy area since she's arrived here, and her passion for championing inclusive play, both here and also in her own constituency, and others as well, as Jane has just reminded us. Thank you as well to Bethan and to Michelle for their contributions to this debate. It is a very welcome opportunity to raise the profile of the play agenda and the importance of inclusive and accessible play opportunities to meet the needs of all children. As Vikki and Jane in particular mentioned, we can be rightly proud of the fact that Wales has absolutely led the way on this: the first country in the world to legislate for play. Wales is acknowledged as a world leader in promoting recognition of the importance of play and embedding this in our legislation. And together with our partners, we've done much, as we've just heard, to work towards creating a play-friendly country. I agree with Vikki that there is more that can be done to improve inclusive and accessible play opportunities, and I'll turn to some of the suggestions shortly. However, I would suggest that introducing further legislation is not necessary, or the best way forward, for a number of reasons. First amongst those is that the current legislative framework - as has been mentioned in this debate already - is widely regarded as sound and fit for purpose. So, alongside requirements under the Equality Act 2010, our Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010 places a duty on local authorities to conduct play sufficiency assessments and to secure sufficient play opportunities.
Welsh: Dadl bwysig iawn, a diolch i Vikki hefyd am ei holl amser a gwaith caled yn y maes polisi hwn ers iddi gyrraedd yma, a'i brwdfrydedd dros hyrwyddo chwarae cynhwysol, yma ac yn ei hetholaeth ei hun, ac eraill yn ogystal, fel y mae Jane newydd ein hatgoffa. Diolch hefyd i Bethan a Michelle am eu cyfraniadau i'r ddadl. Mae'n gyfle sydd i'w groesawu'n fawr i godi proffil yr agenda chwarae a phwysigrwydd cyfleoedd chwarae cynhwysol a hygyrch er mwyn diwallu anghenion pob plentyn. Fel y soniodd Vikki a Jane yn arbennig, gallwn fod yn falch iawn o'r ffaith fod Cymru wedi arwain ar hyn: y wlad gyntaf yn y byd i ddeddfu ar gyfer chwarae. Cydnabyddir bod Cymru yn arweinydd byd yn hyrwyddo cydnabyddiaeth o bwysigrwydd chwarae a gwreiddio hyn yn ein deddfwriaeth. A chyda'n partneriaid, rydym wedi gwneud llawer, fel rydym newydd glywed, i weithio tuag at greu gwlad sy'n gweld gwerth chwarae. Cytunaf â Vikki fod mwy y gellir ei wneud i wella cyfleoedd chwarae cynhwysol a hygyrch, ac fe drof at rai o'r awgrymiadau cyn bo hir. Fodd bynnag, buaswn yn awgrymu nad oes angen cyflwyno deddfwriaeth bellach, neu nad dyna'r ffordd orau ymlaen, a hynny am nifer o resymau. Y cyntaf o'r rhain yw'r gydnabyddiaeth eang fod y fframwaith deddfwriaethol presennol - fel y crybwyllwyd yn y ddadl hon eisoes - yn gadarn ac yn addas at y diben. Felly, ochr yn ochr â gofynion o dan Ddeddf Cydraddoldeb 2010, mae ein Mesur Plant a Theuluoedd (Cymru) 2010 yn gosod dyletswydd ar awdurdodau lleol i gynnal asesiadau o ddigonolrwydd cyfleoedd chwarae a sicrhau cyfleoedd chwarae digonol.
