English: Llywydd, can I just say to the Member that there is a complexity, isn't there, in the figures in that we want people to come forward, we encourage people not to feel stigma, we encourage people to declare that they need help with a mental health condition, and then the figures sometimes look as though demand has risen and is not being met? But in fact, it is partly a reflection of the success of the campaigns that have been led around this Chamber over many years to try to make sure that people who need help with a mental health condition feel confident about presenting themselves for it. It's partly why in this Assembly, in the third term, the Mental Health (Wales) Measure was put on the statute book with the new primary care mental health service, and I think that has been a tremendous success and a tribute to the work that was done in this Assembly, because that is somewhere where - . We know that older people are more likely than any other part of the population to be in touch with their family doctor, and therefore the primary care mental health service ought to be the way in which older people who are suffering from loneliness, isolation and where that shades into a mental health condition like depression - that is where that is first recognised and a front-line service is able to be provided for them. The number of people getting help from the primary care mental health service has grown every single year and is now at its most successful, and yet, waiting times for that service have been kept down through the extra investment that's been made in mental health. It would be completely wrong for anybody to think of an older person who is depressed, that this is just something that older people have to put up with because it's part of the condition of ageing. Those people need to feel as confident as anybody else that the services that are there are available to them, too.
Welsh: Llywydd, a gaf i ddweud wrth yr Aelod bod cymhlethdod, onid oes, yn y ffigurau o'r safbwynt ein bod ni eisiau i bobl ddod ymlaen, rydym ni'n annog pobl i beidio â theimlo stigma, rydym ni'n annog pobl i ddatgan eu bod nhw angen cymorth gyda chyflwr iechyd meddwl, ac yna mae'r ffigurau weithiau'n ymddangos fel pe byddai'r galw wedi cynyddu ac nad yw'n cael ei fodloni? Ond mewn gwirionedd, mae'n rhannol yn adlewyrchiad o lwyddiant yr ymgyrchoedd sydd wedi eu harwain o amgylch y Siambr hon dros flynyddoedd lawer i geisio gwneud yn siŵr bod pobl sydd angen cymorth gyda chyflwr iechyd meddwl yn teimlo'n ffyddiog am gyflwyno eu hunain ar ei gyfer. Dyna'n rhannol pam, yn y Cynulliad hwn, yn y trydydd tymor, y rhoddwyd y Mesur Iechyd Meddwl (Cymru) ar y llyfr statud gyda'r gwasanaeth iechyd meddwl gofal sylfaenol newydd, ac rwy'n credu bod hwnnw wedi bod yn llwyddiant ysgubol ac yn deyrnged i'r gwaith a wnaed yn y Cynulliad hwn, oherwydd mae hynny'n rhywle lle - . Rydym ni'n gwybod bod pobl hŷn yn fwy tebygol nag unrhyw ran arall o'r boblogaeth o fod mewn cysylltiad â'u meddyg teulu, ac felly'r gwasanaeth iechyd meddwl gofal sylfaenol ddylai fod y ffordd y mae pobl hŷn sy'n dioddef oherwydd unigrwydd, arwahanrwydd a phan fo hynny'n tueddu i droi'n gyflwr iechyd meddwl fel iselder - dyna pryd y caiff hynny ei adnabod gyntaf a dyna pryd y gellir darparu gwasanaeth rheng flaen ar eu cyfer. Mae nifer y bobl sy'n cael cymorth gan y gwasanaeth iechyd meddwl gofal sylfaenol wedi cynyddu bob un blwyddyn ac mae bellach ar ei fwyaf llwyddiannus, ac eto, cadwyd yr amseroedd aros ar gyfer y gwasanaeth hwnnw yn isel drwy'r buddsoddiad ychwanegol a wnaed mewn iechyd meddwl. Byddai'n hollol anghywir i unrhyw un feddwl am berson hŷn sydd ag iselder, bod hynny'n rhywbeth y mae'n rhaid i bobl hŷn ei ddioddef gan ei fod yn rhan o'r cyflwr o heneiddio. Mae angen i'r bobl hynny deimlo mor ffyddiog ag unrhyw un arall bod y gwasanaethau sydd yno ar gael iddynt hwythau hefyd.
