English: Thank you, Llywydd. I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to have supported this motion and to support the other Members who have spoken so enthusiastically this afternoon on the need to promote physical activity and to ensure that the appropriate infrastructure is in place in terms of active travel, in order to ensure that that can happen within our communities as part of our daily lives. The health of the people of Wales, and the children of Wales in particular, of course, is a cause of concern for each and every one of us here. There are plenty of signs that we are storing up huge health and social problems. The fact that we are spending 10 per cent of the NHS budget on treating diabetes is a stark warning to us. As Assembly Member for Ynys Môn, I wasn't pleased to see Anglesey rising to the top of one table last year, when Public Health Wales announced that Anglesey had the highest percentage of children who were obese or overweight. A third of the children on the isle are either overweight or obese; those figures are, of course, frightening. Of course, a lack of physical activity is at the heart of much of that. As Julie Morgan said earlier, the problem is that the patterns that children adopt early in life are often emulated when those children become adults. Therefore, we must tackle the problem at its root. I do some rugby coaching in Llangefni rugby club. I apologise to the children for the quality of my rugby coaching, but one thing that drives me is this element of promoting physical activity. There are numerous examples across Anglesey of opportunities that are provided for our young people, from rugby to football, to hockey, gymnastics, athletics, sailing - there are too many to list. It's a wonderful thing to be in the Holyhead weightlifting and fitness centre when Holyhead school, which is nearby, closes at the end of the day and the young people flow in because the resources are available for them and there are people to inspire them to look after their own health through physical activity. But, somehow, we must ensure that there is more physical activity happening in our schools. Of course, physical education is timetabled. But, as the motion suggests, only around a third of children in Wales get that hour of daily physical activity that is recommended. Forgive me for not getting too excited that the figure has increased from 35 per cent to 36 per cent. I do think that it's through our schools that we should actually push up that figure for young people. I'm a strong believer, for example, in extending the school day in order to provide time to promote physical activity. We must ensure that the resources are in place in our schools. And, of course, promoting active travel in order to get to school does provide an additional layer of physical activity. I certainly welcome the new work that's been commissioned by the Government, but it is now time, as Nick Ramsay said, for us to see those pledges becoming reality. Let us look at slightly later in life, where physical activity is just as crucial. Age Cymru remind us that ensuring adequate levels of physical activity is crucial to the older population for the sake of their general health, but also for the sake of their independence and their ability to play a full part in society. What is wonderful, of course, is that that physical activity can be a core part of their daily lives because one tool that we have, which is supposed to help in this, is the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013. Unfortunately, the health benefits of active travel aren't appreciated enough. The system to assess the cost-benefits of projects actually leaves health benefits out of the assessment, for example, which means that active travel plans don't necessarily score as highly as they should. Sustrans - we've heard them mentioned a number of times today - are of the view that not all departments of government appreciate the benefits of active travel. Their experience is that, to date, it's only transport departments that have this on their radar. We've heard that referred to already today, but if we are to create a culture of active travel in Wales, then we need a far broader workforce actually making it work and making it happen. That silo mentality has to come to an end. As the motion states, and as the Member for Llanelli stated, we must work effectively and efficiently with communities in order to identify how to make the most of that legislative tool that we have. Let us, therefore, promote active travel with new enthusiasm and energy. It's clear across this Chamber that we share the same ambition. It's clear that we share common views on the direction of travel and, therefore, it's time to achieve the vision that John Griffiths as Minister had, and this Chamber - the Assembly - more generally had, back in 2013 when the Act was passed. So, let's promote active travel, let's promote physical activity throughout our society, and let's make Wales a healthier country. I encourage you to support the motion.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Rwy'n falch iawn fy mod wedi cael y cyfle i gael fy nghysylltu efo'r cynnig yma ac i gefnogi'r Aelodau eraill sydd wedi siarad mor frwd heddiw dros yr angen i hybu gweithgaredd corfforol ac i sicrhau bod yr isadeiledd priodol yn ei le o ran teithio llesol, i allu sicrhau i hynny ddigwydd o fewn ein cymunedau ni fel rhan o fywyd bob dydd. Mae iechyd pobl Cymru, a phlant Cymru yn arbennig, wrth gwrs, yn fater sy'n achos pryder i bob un ohonom ni yma. Mae yna ddigon o arwyddion ein bod ni'n creu problemau iechyd a chymdeithasol enfawr ar gyfer y blynyddoedd i ddod. Mae'r ffaith ein bod ni'n gwario 10 y cant o gyllideb yr NHS ar drin diabetes yn rhybudd digon clir i ni. Fel Aelod Cynulliad Ynys Môn, nid oeddwn yn falch iawn o weld Môn yn codi i frig un tabl y llynedd, pan wnaeth Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru gyhoeddi mai ym Môn bellach oedd y gyfran uchaf o blant sydd dros eu pwysau neu'n ordew. Un rhan o dair o blant yr ynys dros eu pwysau neu'n ordew; mae'r ffigurau yna'n gwbl, gwbl frawychus. Wrth gwrs, mae diffyg gweithgaredd corfforol wrth wraidd llawer o hynny. Y broblem, fel dywedodd Julie Morgan yn gynharach, ydy bod patrymau plant yn gynnar yn eu bywydau'n aml iawn yn cael eu hefelychu pan mae'r plant hynny'n troi'n oedolion. Felly, mae'n rhaid inni fynd i'r afael â'r broblem wrth ei gwraidd. Rwy'n gwneud tipyn o hyfforddi rygbi yng nghlwb rygbi Llangefni. Rwy'n ymddiheuro wrth y plant am safon y rygbi rwy'n ei ddysgu iddyn nhw, ond un peth sy'n fy ngyrru heb os ydy'r elfen o hybu gweithgaredd corfforol. Mae yna enghreifftiau lu ar draws Ynys Môn o gyfleon sy'n cael eu darparu ar gyfer ein pobl ifanc ni, o rygbi i bêl-droed i hoci i gymnasteg i athletau i hwylio - mae yna ormod i'w henwi. Mae'n olygfa wych bod yng nghanolfan codi pwysau a ffitrwydd Caergybi pan fydd ysgol Caergybi sydd gerllaw yn cau ar ddiwedd y dydd a'r bobl ifanc yn llifo i mewn oherwydd bod yna adnoddau yna ar eu cyfer nhw a bod yna bobl yna i'w hysbrydoli nhw i edrych ar ôl eu hiechyd eu hunain drwy ymarfer corff. Ond, rhywsut, mae'n rhaid inni sicrhau bod rhagor o weithgaredd corfforol yn digwydd yn ein hysgolion ni. Wrth gwrs, mae yna addysg gorfforol wedi'i hamserlenni. Ond, fel mae'r cynnig yn ei nodi, dim ond rhyw draean o blant Cymru sy'n cael yr awr ddyddiol o weithgaredd corfforol sy'n cael ei argymell. Maddeuwch i fi am beidio â chyffroi gormod bod y ffigur wedi codi o 35 y cant i 36 y cant. Rwy'n meddwl mai drwy'r ysgol, ar gyfer pobl ifanc, y mae gwthio'r ffigur hwnnw i fyny. Rwy'n gredwr cryf, er enghraifft, mewn ymestyn y dydd yn yr ysgol er mwyn rhoi amser i hybu gweithgarwch. Mae'n rhaid sicrhau bod yr adnoddau yno yn ein hysgolion ni. Ac, wrth gwrs, mae hybu teithio llesol ar gyfer cyrraedd yr ysgol yn cynnig haen ychwanegol o weithgarwch corfforol. Rwy'n sicr yn croesawu'r gwaith newydd sydd wedi cael ei gomisiynu gan y Llywodraeth, ond mae'n amser, fel dywedodd Nick Ramsay, inni weld addewidion yn troi'n realiti. Gadewch inni edrych ar ychydig yn hwyrach mewn bywyd, lle mae gweithgaredd corfforol yr un mor allweddol. Mae Age Cymru yn ein hatgoffa ni bod sicrhau lefelau digonol o ymarfer corff yn hanfodol i'r boblogaeth hŷn er mwyn eu hiechyd yn gyffredinol, ond hefyd er mwyn eu hannibyniaeth nhw a'u gallu nhw i chwarae rhan lawn mewn cymdeithas. A'r hyn sy'n wych, wrth gwrs, ydy bod yr ymarfer corff yna yn gallu bod yn rhan greiddiol o fywyd bob dydd. Un arf sydd gennym ni, sydd i fod i helpu, ydy'r Ddeddf Teithio Llesol (Cymru) 2013. Yn anffodus, nid yw manteision iechyd teithio llesol yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi digon. Mae'r system i werthuso cost a budd prosiectau yn gadael nifer o'r manteision iechyd allan o'u dadansoddiad, er enghraifft, sy'n golygu nad ydy cynlluniau teithio llesol yn sgorio mor uchel ag y dylen nhw. Mae Sustrans - rydym wedi clywed llawer amdanyn nhw heddiw - o'r farn nad ydy pob adran o lywodraeth yn gwerthfawrogi manteision teithio llesol. Eu profiad nhw ydy mai, hyd yma, dim ond yr adrannau trafnidiaeth sydd efo hyn ar eu radar. Rydym wedi clywed hynny'n cael ei ddweud heddiw'n barod. Ond, er mwyn creu diwylliant o deithio llesol yng Nghymru, mae arnom ni angen gweithlu llawer ehangach yn gwneud iddo fo ddigwydd. Mae'n rhaid i'r meddylfryd seilo yna ddod i ben. Fel y mae'r cynnig yn ei ddweud, ac fel y dywedodd yr Aelod dros Lanelli, mae angen gweithio yn effeithlon efo cymunedau i adnabod sut i gael y gorau o'r arf deddfwriaethol yna sydd gennym ni. Gadewch i ni felly hybu teithio llesol efo egni newydd. Mae'n amlwg ar draws y Siambr yma ein bod ni'n rhannu uchelgais. Mae'n amlwg ein bod ni'n rhannu syniad cyffredin ynglŷn ag i le rydym ni eisiau mynd, felly mae'n amser gwireddu'r weledigaeth a oedd gan John Griffiths fel Gweinidog a'r Siambr yma yn gyffredinol - y Cynulliad yn gyffredinol - nôl yn 2013 pan gafodd y Ddeddf ei phasio. Gadewch inni hybu teithio llesol, gadewch inni hybu gweithgarwch corfforol drwy'n cymdeithas ni, a gadewch inni wneud Cymru yn wlad fwy iach. Rwy'n eich annog chi i gefnogi'r cynnig yma heddiw.
