English: I thank David Melding for those comments. Today, we're very much launching the new guidance, which is around how the system works; it's not really about the funding amount. There's no doubt that, were there more money, I would like to be able to put it into this area, but I'm also very much aware that we have the homelessness action group, chaired by Jon Sparkes, working. Members will be aware that we implemented all of the recommendations of the action group on rough sleeping just before Christmas. Actually, just two days after the rough-sleeping count, so not sufficient to change that, although the rough-sleeping count, as David Melding has acknowledged, is a pretty rough-and-ready way of working out who is sleeping on the streets. I'm very much looking forward to receiving their next report in the next half term. Hopefully, slightly before that, but I know they're working as fast as possible. I can't emphasise enough that that includes stakeholders from across the sector working together to see what the most effective way of tackling homelessness is. I agree on the housing first approach. We will be transitioning, through this advice and others, to a rapid re-housing situation, but it doesn't work for everybody, so making sure that the system works for as many people as humanly possible, and taking that person-centred, trauma-related approach, really matters. So, what we're trying to do here is shift the culture inside the local authorities and the way that they commission these services. First of all, to make sure that they get the best staff on the ground, which is a really big issue, and that we aren't ourselves driving insecure employment and relationship breakdown by driving insecure conditions of employment into the very sector that assists people. Secondly, that the local authority is best placed to know what services it has at the moment and doesn't need to bolster, and what services it needs to put in place pretty rapidly to make sure that we can shift. So, what we want is a set of guidance that gets people to work regionally and collaboratively and co-productively, whilst knowing what they themselves have in their area on the ground, without us trying to put a one-size-fits-all across Wales, which we know will not work. So, I accept the reservations that you set out. Obviously, we're transitioning to this system, but I too will be looking with great interest to see how that works, and I look forward to receiving the housing action group's report on the next stages as well, so that we can mesh the two things together.
Welsh: Diolch i David Melding am y sylwadau yna. Heddiw, rydym ni'n lansio'r canllawiau newydd o ddifrif, sy'n ymwneud â sut y mae'r system yn gweithio; nid yw'n ymwneud â swm y cyllid mewn gwirionedd. Nid oes amheuaeth, petai mwy o arian ar gael, yr hoffwn i allu ei roi yn y maes hwn, ond rwyf hefyd yn ymwybodol iawn bod y grŵp gweithredu ar ddigartrefedd, o dan gadeiryddiaeth Jon Sparkes, yn gweithredu. Bydd yr Aelodau'n ymwybodol ein bod wedi gweithredu holl argymhellion y grŵp gweithredu ar gysgu allan ychydig cyn y Nadolig. Mewn gwirionedd, dim ond deuddydd ar ôl y cyfrif cysgu allan, felly dim digon i newid hynny, er bod y cyfrif cysgu allan, fel y mae David Melding wedi cydnabod, yn ffordd eithaf amrwd o ganfod pwy sy'n cysgu ar y strydoedd. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen yn fawr at gael eu hadroddiad nesaf yn ystod yr hanner tymor nesaf. Gobeithio, ychydig cyn hynny, ond rwy'n gwybod eu bod yn gweithio mor gyflym â phosib. Ni allaf bwysleisio digon bod hynny'n cynnwys rhanddeiliaid o bob rhan o'r sector yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd i weld beth yw'r ffordd fwyaf effeithiol o fynd i'r afael â digartrefedd. Rwy'n cytuno ar y dull tai yn gyntaf. Byddwn yn trawsnewid, drwy'r cyngor hwn ac eraill, i sefyllfa o ailgartrefu'n gyflym, ond nid yw'n gweithio i bawb, felly mae hi' n wirioneddol bwysig sicrhau bod y system yn gweithio i gynifer o bobl ag y bo modd, ac i fynd ati yn y modd hwnnw sy'n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn, ac sy'n gysylltiedig â thrawma. Felly, yr hyn yr ydym ni'n ceisio ei wneud gyda hyn yw newid y diwylliant oddi mewn i'r awdurdodau lleol a'r ffordd y maen nhw'n comisiynu'r gwasanaethau hyn. Yn gyntaf oll, sicrhau bod ganddyn nhw'r staff gorau ar lawr gwlad, sy'n fater sylweddol iawn, ac nad ydym ni ein hunain yn gyfrifol am gyflogaeth ansicr a chwalu perthynas drwy wthio amodau gwaith ansicr i'r union sector sy'n cynorthwyo pobl. Yn ail, sicrhau mai'r awdurdod lleol sydd yn y sefyllfa orau i wybod pa wasanaethau sydd ganddo ar hyn o bryd ac nad oes angen eu hatgyfnerthu, a pha wasanaethau y mae angen iddo eu rhoi ar waith yn eithaf cyflym i sicrhau y gallwn ni newid pethau. Felly, yr hyn sydd ei angen arnom ni yw cyfres o ganllawiau sy'n cael pobl i weithio'n rhanbarthol ac yn gydweithredol ac yn gydgynhyrchiol, gan wybod beth sydd ganddyn nhw eu hunain yn eu hardal ar lawr gwlad, heb inni geisio rhoi un ateb sy'n addas i bawb ledled Cymru, y gwyddom na fydd yn llwyddo. Felly, rwy'n derbyn yr amheuon yr ydych chi wedi eu crybwyll. Yn amlwg, rydym yn trosglwyddo i'r system hon, ond byddaf innau hefyd yn edrych gyda chryn ddiddordeb i weld sut mae hynny'n gweithio, ac edrychaf ymlaen at gael adroddiad y grŵp gweithredu ar dai ar y camau nesaf hefyd, er mwyn inni allu cyplysu'r ddau beth gyda'i gilydd.
