English: First Minister, as we've heard, the criminal justice system in England and Wales is in need of much improvement. There's a body of evidence that establishes that, and I think this authoritative report significantly adds to it. We know that far too many people are sent to prison, as you mentioned in your opening statement, compared to our our western European neighbours, for example, and that creates overcrowding, which makes rehabilitation very, very difficult indeed. We know that many of the people there have mental health issues, alcohol and drug issues, which are not properly or adequately addressed. And we know that there's much overlap between the services that Welsh Government is responsible for in terms of those problems and the non-devolved criminal justice aspects. We know that it all needs to be joined up much more effectively, and devolution would make that joining up so much easier. It would also enable, of course, joined-up scrutiny from the Assembly and outside bodies. So, I just think that what we have at the moment is failing morally and failing very much in practical terms. What we have as a consequence is more victims of crime in Wales, in our communities, so our communities in general suffer from a higher level of crime than would otherwise be the case. And, of course, the families of offenders suffer, as well as the offenders themselves. It's a very bleak and, I must say, depressing picture that has persisted for far too long. So, I really do believe that this report now, this authoritative report, is an opportunity to make progress on these matters with medium and longer term devolution, but also with the shorter term steps that are pointed to. And I hope very much, First Minister, that, in due course, Welsh Government will be able to set out its response in those terms - the short-term measures that can be taken as well as the medium and longer term improvements in terms of devolution. And I would hope, and I know many here today would hope, that Welsh Government will be able to set that out as quickly as possible in the most practical terms.
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, fel yr ydym ni wedi clywed, mae angen gwella'r system cyfiawnder troseddol yng Nghymru a Lloegr yn fawr. Mae yna gorff o dystiolaeth sy'n sefydlu hynny, ac rwy'n credu bod yr adroddiad awdurdodol hwn yn ychwanegu'n sylweddol ato. Gwyddom y caiff llawer gormod o bobl eu hanfon i'r carchar, fel y gwnaethoch chi grybwyll yn eich datganiad agoriadol, o'u cymharu â'n cymdogion yng ngorllewin Ewrop, er enghraifft, ac mae hynny'n creu gorlenwi, sy'n gwneud adsefydlu'n anodd iawn, yn wir. Gwyddom fod gan lawer o'r bobl yno broblemau iechyd meddwl, problemau alcohol a chyffuriau, na chânt sylw priodol neu ddigonol. Ac rydym yn gwybod bod llawer o orgyffwrdd rhwng y gwasanaethau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gyfrifol amdanyn nhw o ran y problemau hynny a'r agweddau ar gyfiawnder troseddol nad ydynt wedi'u datganoli. Rydym yn gwybod bod angen i'r cyfan fod yn gydgysylltiedig yn llawer mwy effeithiol, a byddai datganoli yn gwneud y cydgysylltu hwnnw gymaint yn haws. Byddai hefyd yn galluogi, wrth gwrs, gwaith craffu cydgysylltiedig gan y Cynulliad a chyrff allanol. Felly, credaf fod yr hyn sydd gennym ni ar hyn o bryd yn methu'n foesol ac yn methu'n fawr iawn mewn termau ymarferol. Yr hyn sydd gennym ni o ganlyniad yw mwy o ddioddefwyr troseddau yng Nghymru, yn ein cymunedau, felly mae ein cymunedau yn gyffredinol yn dioddef o fwy o droseddu nag a fyddai'n digwydd fel arall. Ac, wrth gwrs, mae teuluoedd troseddwyr yn dioddef, yn ogystal â'r troseddwyr eu hunain. Mae'n ddarlun llwm iawn, ac mae'n rhaid imi ddweud, digalon, sydd wedi parhau'n rhy hir o lawer. Felly, rwy'n credu mewn difrif calon fod yr adroddiad hwn bellach, yr adroddiad awdurdodol hwn, yn gyfle i wneud cynnydd ar y materion hyn gyda datganoli tymor canolig a thymor hwy, ond hefyd gyda'r camau tymor byrrach y tynnwyd sylw atynt. Ac rwy'n gobeithio'n fawr iawn, Prif Weinidog, y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru, maes o law, yn gallu amlinellu ei hymateb yn y termau hynny - y mesurau tymor byr y gellir eu cymryd yn ogystal â'r gwelliannau tymor canolig a thymor hwy o ran datganoli. A byddwn yn gobeithio, ac rwy'n gwybod y byddai llawer yma heddiw yn gobeithio, y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn gallu amlinellu hynny cyn gynted â phosib yn y modd mwyaf ymarferol.
