English: In very few words I will also say that I support this proposal. We've already heard about the importance of first aid in emergency situations. We know how important it is that equipment such as defibrillators and first aid kits are available. The recent survey by St John - and we've heard reference to this already - tells a very clear story, in that 69 per cent of schoolchildren say that they wouldn't know how to treat a member of the family or a friend of theirs if they found themselves in a situation where that was necessary; 72 per cent of people say that they would wish to have those skills; and 83 per cent say that they would be far more confident in trying to save a life or in caring for an individual if they had been given that education. If I could just turn to some comments made by the Welsh Government in response to the BBC, saying that pupils do learn about emergency care techniques already as part of personal and social education. Now, those comments suggest to me that there is a deal of difference between what the Government believes is happening and what's really happening in our schools. Research demonstrates that there is dissatisfaction in terms of what is provided at present, and in addition to the fact that the pupils themselves say that they don't have the necessary skills and that they would like to learn the skills, teachers, too, according to research and surveys, say that they lack confidence in terms of the skills that they are expected to pass on to their pupils. But I will conclude with this question, which I would ask of any Minister listening and any official, too: if you were going for a walk one day and suffered cardiac arrest, and the only person nearby is a 15-year-old, let's say, would you prefer for that 15-year-old to have gone through an inadequate system of learning certain skills as part of personal and social education, or would you prefer for that 15-year-old to have gone through an education system that would have taught him or her the correct skills, with that provision based in legislation? I know what my response would be, and that's why I support this legislative proposal.
Welsh: Mewn ychydig iawn o eiriau mi wnaf innau ddweud fy mod i yn cefnogi'r cynnig yma. Rydym ni yn barod wedi clywed am bwysigrwydd cymorth cyntaf mewn sefyllfaoedd brys. Rydym ni'n gwybod pa mor bwysig, wrth gwrs, ydy hi fod offer fel 'defibrillators' a 'kits' cymorth cyntaf a ballu ar gael. Mae'r arolwg diweddar gan Sant Ioan - rydym ni wedi clywed amdanyn nhw yn barod - yn dweud stori glir wrthym ni, sef bod 69 y cant o blant ysgol yn dweud na fydden nhw ddim yn gwybod sut i drin aelod o'r teulu neu gyfaill iddyn nhw pe baen nhw'n ffeindio eu hunain mewn sefyllfa lle byddai angen hynny; mae 72 y cant o ddisgyblion yn dweud y byddent yn dymuno cael y sgiliau hynny; ac 83 y cant yn dweud y bydden nhw yn llawer fwy hyderus yn gweithredu i drio achub bywyd rhywun, neu roi gofal i rhywun, pe baen nhw wedi cael yr addysg. A gaf i roi sylw i sylwadau a wnaed gan Lywodraeth Cymru wrth y BBC, yn dweud bod disgyblion yn cael dysgu am dechnegau gofal brys yn barod fel rhan o addysg bersonol a chymdeithasol. Mae'r sylwadau hynny yn awgrymu i mi, rydw i'n meddwl, fod yna gryn wahaniaeth rhwng yr hyn mae'r Llywodraeth yn meddwl sy'n digwydd a'r hyn sy'n digwydd go iawn yn ein hysgolion ni. Mae ymchwil yn dangos bod yna anfodlonrwydd ynglŷn â'r hyn sy'n cael ei gynnig ar hyn o bryd, ac yn ogystal â bod y plant eu hunain yn cyfaddef ac yn dweud nad oes ganddyn nhw'r sgiliau a'u bod nhw'n dymuno cael y sgiliau, mae athrawon hefyd, yn ôl arolygon ac ymchwil, yn dweud bod ganddyn nhw ddiffyg hyder yn y sgiliau y maen nhw i fod i'w pasio ymlaen i'r plant. Ond, gadwech i mi gloi efo'r cwestiwn yma i'w ofyn i unrhyw Weinidog sydd yn gwrando, ac unrhyw swyddog hefyd: pe baech chi allan yn mynd am dro rhyw ddiwrnod ac yn dioddef 'cardiac arrest' ac mai'r unig berson sydd gerllaw ydy person ifanc 15 oed, a fyddai'n well gennych chi bod y person 15 oed hwnnw wedi mynd drwy system anfoddhaol o ddysgu rhai sgiliau fel rhan o addysg bersonol a chymdeithasol, neu a fyddai'n well gennych chi bod y person 15 oed hwnnw wedi mynd drwy system addysg sydd wedi dysgu'r sgiliau iawn, a hynny wedi ei seilio mewn deddfwriaeth? Rydw i'n gwybod beth ydy'r ateb o fy rhan i, a dyna pam rwy'n cefnogi'r cynnig deddfwriaethol yma.
