English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer and former Chair of the Children, Young People and Education Committee. [Laughter.] And what a fine job she did of it, as well. Thank you for your statement, Minister. I was so pleased to see this Bill introduced yesterday, and I think the exchanges here today demonstrate the almost unprecedented level, really, of cross-party support that there is for getting a piece of legislation that really works for children and young people in Wales, mindful of the difficulties that you've highlighted with parents often finding themselves in the middle of a prolonged battleground to get the services that they need. I also personally want to welcome the collaborative approach you've shown towards me as Chair of the committee and the assurances you've given the Chamber about continuing in that vein today. Many of the points that I would have wanted to make have been covered, and I'm looking forward to the detailed scrutiny in the committee. I did just want to pick up on two particular points, both related to health. The first was: in your answer to Darren Millar, you said that you don't see the Bill as being a vehicle to hold the health service to account, which I fully recognise. But can I ask you whether you also recognise that, in a lot of cases where parents are fighting to get services, it is the lack of access to a health service that actually puts the barrier to their getting the educational support that they need? It is absolutely critical that we address that through this legislation. The other point was also on the medical needs issue. As you know, I've been working with Diabetes UK and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health to try and see if we can get that included in this legislation. I hear what you're saying - that it's not in there at the moment - but also your assurances that you're open to listening to views on that. Can I just ask whether you recognise that, although new guidance is being developed, there is a very strong feeling there that, without the inclusion on the face of the Bill of a statutory duty to meet medical needs, too often that guidance is implemented in a patchy way, and sometimes ignored? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd a chyn Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg. [Chwerthin.] Ac am waith da a wnaeth hi yno, hefyd. Diolch am eich datganiad, Weinidog. Roeddwn i mor falch o weld y Bil hwn yn cael ei gyflwyno ddoe, ac rwy'n meddwl bod y sgyrsiau yma heddiw'n dangos lefel bron yn ddigynsail, a dweud y gwir, o gefnogaeth drawsbleidiol i greu darn o ddeddfwriaeth sydd wir yn gweithio ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc yng Nghymru, gan ystyried yr anawsterau yr ydych wedi tynnu sylw atynt lle mae rhieni yn aml yn eu cael eu hunain yng nghanol brwydr hirfaith i gael y gwasanaethau sydd eu hangen arnynt. Hefyd, hoffwn groesawu yn bersonol yr ymagwedd gydweithredol yr ydych wedi ei dangos tuag ataf fel Cadeirydd y pwyllgor a'r sicrwydd yr ydych wedi ei roi i'r Siambr am barhau yn y modd hwnnw heddiw. Mae llawer o'r pwyntiau yr oeddwn am eu gwneud wedi cael sylw, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at y craffu manwl yn y pwyllgor. Roeddwn am sôn am ddau bwynt penodol, ac mae'r ddau'n ymwneud ag iechyd. Y cyntaf oedd: yn eich ateb i Darren Millar, dywedasoch nad ydych yn gweld y Bil fel cyfrwng i ddal y gwasanaeth iechyd i gyfrif, ac rwy'n cydnabod hynny'n llawn. Ond a gaf i ofyn ichi a ydych chi hefyd yn cydnabod, mewn llawer o achosion lle mae rhieni'n ymladd i gael gwasanaethau, mai'r diffyg mynediad at wasanaeth iechyd sydd mewn gwirionedd yn creu'r rhwystr rhag iddynt gael y cymorth addysgol sydd ei angen arnynt? Mae'n gwbl hanfodol ein bod yn ymdrin â hynny drwy'r ddeddfwriaeth hon. Roedd y pwynt arall hefyd yn ymwneud ag anghenion meddygol. Fel y gwyddoch, rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio gyda Diabetes UK a'r Coleg Brenhinol Pediatreg ac Iechyd Plant i geisio gweld a allwn gael hynny wedi'i gynnwys yn y ddeddfwriaeth hon. Rwy'n clywed yr hyn yr ydych yn ei ddweud - nad yw i mewn yno ar hyn o bryd - ond hefyd eich sicrwydd eich bod yn agored i wrando ar safbwyntiau ar hynny. A gaf i ofyn a ydych yn cydnabod, er bod canllawiau newydd yn cael eu datblygu, bod teimlad cryf iawn, heb gynnwys dyletswydd statudol i ddiwallu anghenion meddygol ar wyneb y Bil, bod y canllawiau yn rhy aml yn cael eu gweithredu mewn ffordd anghyson, ac weithiau'n cael eu hanwybyddu? Diolch.
