English: In terms of roll-out, how will you ensure that this is better understood by public sector bodies and commissioners? I'll give one example. Last year, I had a haemophiliac constituent, a young man who was offered a job by Flintshire council. The job offer was subsequently withdrawn on the advice of the council's occupational physician, as they termed the person, although the constituent and his family said that that clinician had low or little knowledge of haemophilia, and the constituent and his family had documentation from his own expert clinicians showing he was perfectly able to do the job. However, the council dug in and initially rejected the relevance of the framework for action on independent living in this context, despite my referring to it in correspondence with them. You refer to 75,000 disabled people actively seeking work, and, clearly, I fully acknowledge that. Almost every disabled person I meet, work with or have as a friend, if they're not in work already - and too few, sadly, are - they want to be. They want a job, they want their own front door, they want their independence. In taking this forward and tackling the barriers beyond their control that you referred to, how will you ensure that you don't replicate or duplicate the parallel work that's already going on, for example, with the Department for Work and Pensions community partner teams recruited from people outside government, outside the civil service, who have personal lived experience of disability, but only initially on a 12-month contract. I hope you might consider joining myself and the cross-party autism group, following recent evidence from them, to urge the UK Government to extend that beyond 12 months so that the work coaches and others can have a better understanding of the barriers that disabled people encounter. How will you engage, or are you engaging, with Remploy Wales's work and health programme from the UK Government, which, although it's only compulsory for those unemployed for more than two years, has found that over 80 per cent of the people on the programme are disabled people with long-term health conditions who have voluntarily joined that programme because they wish to access work? Equally, how will you support initiatives such as the Wrexham enterprise hub, who have scheduled an autism future employment event on 25 January next year? I'm sure that you would have an interest in that, and would be grateful if you could confirm how you might wish to engage in working with Hafal, who's also involved, and Glyndwr University. How do you respond to the concern expressed in the Joseph Rowntree Foundation report 'Poverty in Wales 2018' that says, regarding employment, disabled people make up just 5 per cent of the Welsh Government's own workforce, despite comprising 22 per cent of the population, given the wider figures you illustrate, and similarly address the concern they raise that 'In Wales, 39% of disabled people are in poverty compared to 22% of non-disabled people', again, almost always because of those social model barriers that you referred to in your own statement? Will you reconsider the Welsh Government's approach to the scrapping of the Welsh independent living grant? There is still widespread concern amongst recipients or former recipients of that grant that the lack of ring fence, the requirement to agree with local authorities what's good for them, or what their needs might be, is a removal of their independence. Look to what happened in Scotland and Northern Ireland, where the Governments there, politically miles apart from myself, did the right thing and established an independent body run by Disability Wales's equivalent organisation there. Now, I'm not going to name them, because you heard me last week and last month repeatedly quote new third sector schemes that learned that they have lost their funding, or will be losing their funding, when they're delivering independent living, early prevention programmes enabling people to have control of their own lives, taking pressure off statutory services who've lost their funding, because, invariably, statutory commissioners have decided they're not the priority they should be, and therefore because of dumb commissioning, dumb budgeting, they're piling millions of avoidable additional costs onto statutory services. You did, last week, comment or respond regarding that, but I would be grateful if you could just slip in a line, so that those people affected by this can, hopefully, hear some further assurances. Now, it's five and half years -
Welsh: O ran ei gyflwyno, sut fyddwch yn sicrhau y deellir hyn yn well gan gyrff y sector cyhoeddus a'r comisiynwyr? Rwy'n rhoi un enghraifft. Y llynedd, roedd un o'm hetholwyr i, a oedd yn hemoffilig, yn ddyn ifanc a gafodd gynnig swydd gan Gyngor Sir y Fflint. Tynnwyd y cynnig o swydd yn ôl wedyn ar gyngor meddyg galwedigaethol y cyngor, fel yr oedden nhw'n galw'r unigolyn, er bod yr etholwr a'i deulu yn dweud nad oedd gan y clinigwr hwnnw ond ychydig o wybodaeth am hemoffilia, ac roedd gan yr etholwr a'i deulu ddogfennaeth gan ei glinigwyr arbenigol ei hun yn dangos ei fod yn gwbl alluog i wneud y gwaith. Er hynny, ystyfnigodd y cyngor a gwrthod perthnasedd y fframwaith gweithredu ar gyfer byw'n annibynnol yn y cyd-destun hwn, er gwaethaf y ffaith imi gyfeirio at hynny mewn gohebiaeth â nhw. Rydych yn cyfeirio at 75,000 o bobl anabl sydd wrthi'n chwilio am waith, ac, yn amlwg, rwy'n llwyr dderbyn hynny. Mae bron pob unigolyn anabl yr wyf yn ei gyfarfod, neu yn gweithio gydag ef, neu sydd yn gyfaill i mi, os nad ydynt mewn gwaith eisoes - rhy ychydig sydd mewn gwaith, yn anffodus, - maen nhw'n dymuno bod. Mae eisiau swydd arnyn nhw, maen nhw'n awyddus i gael eu drws ffrynt eu hunain, maen nhw'n dyheu am eu hannibyniaeth. Wrth gyflwyno hyn a mynd i'r afael â'r rhwystrau y tu hwnt i'w rheolaeth, yr oeddech chi'n cyfeirio atyn nhw, sut fyddwch yn sicrhau na chaiff y gwaith cyfochrog sy'n digwydd eisoes ei ailadrodd neu ei ddyblygu, er enghraifft, gyda thimau partneriaeth gymunedol yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau a gaiff eu recriwtio o blith pobl y tu allan i'r llywodraeth, y tu allan i'r gwasanaeth sifil, sydd â phrofiad personol o fyw gydag anabledd, ond dim ond ar gontract 12 mis i ddechrau. Rwy'n gobeithio y gallech ystyried ymuno â mi a'r grŵp awtistiaeth trawsbleidiol, yn dilyn tystiolaeth ddiweddar ganddyn nhw, i annog Llywodraeth y DU i ymestyn hynny y tu hwnt i 12 mis fel y gall yr anogwyr gwaith ac eraill gael gwell dealltwriaeth o'r rhwystrau a wynebir gan bobl anabl. Sut fyddwch chi'n ymgysylltu, neu sut rydych chi'n ymgysylltu â Remploy, sy'n cyflawni rhaglen waith ac iechyd Llywodraeth y DU? Er nad yw'n orfodol ond i rai sy'n ddi-waith am fwy na dwy flynedd, canfuwyd bod dros 80 y cant o'r bobl ar y rhaglen yn bobl anabl â chyflyrau iechyd hirdymor sydd wedi ymuno'n wirfoddol â'r rhaglen honno oherwydd eu bod yn dymuno cael gwaith? Yn yr un modd, sut fyddwch yn cefnogi mentrau fel canolfan mentrau Wrecsam, sydd wedi trefnu digwyddiad cyflogaeth awtistiaeth y dyfodol ar 25 Ionawr y flwyddyn nesaf? Rwy'n siŵr y byddai gennych ddiddordeb yn hynny, a byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe gallech gadarnhau sut yr hoffech efallai ymgymryd â gweithio gyda Hafal, sydd â rhan hefyd, a Phrifysgol Glyndŵr. Sut ydych yn ymateb i'r pryder a fynegwyd yn adroddiad Sefydliad Joseph Rowntree 'Tlodi yng Nghymru 2018' sy'n dweud, wrth sôn am gyflogaeth, mai dim ond 5 y cant o weithlu Llywodraeth Cymru ei hun sy'n bobl anabl, er eu bod yn cynnwys 22 y cant o'r boblogaeth? Ac o ystyried y ffigurau ehangach a roddwyd gennych, yn yr un modd sut ydych yn rhoi sylw i'r pryder a godir ganddyn nhw fod 39% o'r bobl anabl yng Nghymru yn byw mewn tlodi, o'i gymharu â 22% o'r bobl nad ydyn nhw'n anabl, unwaith eto, bron bob amser oherwydd y rhwystrau model cymdeithasol hynny yr oeddech chi'n cyfeirio atyn nhw yn eich datganiad? A wnewch chi ailystyried dull Llywodraeth Cymru o gael gwared ar grant byw'n annibynnol Cymru? Ceir pryder eang o hyd ymhlith y rhai sydd yn derbyn neu wedi bod yn derbyn y grant hwnnw y bydd y diffyg clustnodi, y gofyniad i gytuno ag awdurdodau lleol ar yr hyn sy'n llesol ar eu cyfer nhw, neu'r hyn y gallai eu hanghenion fod, yn cael gwared ar eu hannibyniaeth. Edrychwch ar yr hyn a ddigwyddodd yn yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon, lle gwnaeth y Llywodraethau yno, sydd â syniadau gwleidyddol gwahanol iawn i'm rhai i, y peth iawn a sefydlu corff annibynnol yn cael ei redeg gan sefydliad cyfatebol i Anabledd Cymru yno. Nawr, nid wyf am eu henwi nhw, oherwydd fe'm clywsoch yr wythnos diwethaf a'r mis diwethaf dro ar ôl tro yn dweud bod cynlluniau trydydd sector newydd yn canfod eu bod wedi colli eu cyllid, neu y byddan nhw'n colli eu cyllid, pan maen nhw'n darparu bywydau annibynnol, a rhaglenni atal cynnar sy'n galluogi pobl i gael rheolaeth ar eu bywydau eu hunain, gan gymryd y pwysau oddi ar y gwasanaethau statudol sydd wedi colli eu cyllid, oherwydd, yn anochel, mae'r comisiynwyr statudol wedi penderfynu na ddylen nhw fod yn flaenoriaeth. Ac felly, oherwydd comisiynu ffôl, cyllidebu ffôl, maen nhw'n pentyrru miliynau o gostau ychwanegol diangen ar wasanaethau statudol. Fe wnaethoch chi, yr wythnos diwethaf, sylwadau ar hynny neu ymateb i hynny, ond byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe gallech ddweud ychydig o eiriau, fel y gall y bobl hynny yr effeithir arnyn nhw gan hyn glywed rhywfaint, gobeithio, o sicrwydd pellach. Nawr, mae pum mlynedd a hanner -
