English: I am very pleased to welcome this statement. In particular, I would commend the following elements: I think the focus on NEETs is absolutely right, that is a major risk indicator. As the Minister said, this is a complex problem, but it needs an approach that really ensures that young people have as full lives as possible. Therefore, they need to be doing something constructive with their lives as well as having a secure home. So I think the NEETs issue is absolutely right as a key indicator. I'm pleased to hear about the £4.8 million that's going to be invested in an innovation fund, which will support measures like housing first. I have to say I think the housing first model is particularly relevant in terms of youth homelessness and enabling young people to keep tenancies going with that sort of support, and the fact that we don't give up on them. So, if things happen and there are issues to be resolved, we don't evict and they're given a second or third chance, whatever it takes. That housing first model, with the wraparound support from various agencies, is key. So I do welcome that aspect of the announcement particularly. Can I thank the Minister for the reference to care leavers? I also commend the work of Barnardo's in this area. I'm also pleased to see a doubling of the St David's Day fund to help independent living. Carl Sargeant was determined that the St David's Day fund would establish this concept of the bank of mum and dad and apply it in this key area. I also think that, for care leavers, it is usually housing that becomes the most dominant need for them. I think educational attainment is a really important thing for young people in care, but when they leave care - although they may still be in some form of education - housing is then very, very pressing. And there I think corporate parenting really means a sort of housing first approach. I also welcome what you said about the need for all public agencies to be aware of the risks of homelessness that face some young people. And, again, we have that approach for looked-after children, that corporate parenting, that it belongs to everyone, it's not just children's services, but it goes across all public agencies. So I welcome that reference in your statement. However, there are a couple of things that I think I should press for an answer on, just to see what the Welsh Government's thinking may be. There's no target in your statement for the ending of youth homelessness. Now, I know when we make those sorts of announcements, they are declaratory, but I still think they set important objectives. Now, in Scotland, they have halved youth homelessness since 2010. In England, there's a target to halve homelessness by 2022, and to eliminate it by 2027. I think we should set some targets as well. I don't expect you to do that in your reply, but I think you could find there's an all-party approach to this and that we would all sign up to that commitment and to the priorities and the financial costs that would then have to be met. And I think that would set a very clear vision of when we want to end this scourge. But there's much that is useful in this statement, and I'm pleased to commend it.
Welsh: Rwy'n falch iawn o groesawu'r datganiad hwn. Yn benodol, cymeradwyaf yr elfennau canlynol: credaf fod y pwyslais ar bobl ifanc NEET yn hollol briodol, mae hwnnw'n ddangosydd risg mawr. Fel y dywedodd y Gweinidog, mae hon yn broblem gymhleth, ond mae angen dull sydd wirioneddol yn sicrhau bod pobl ifanc yn byw bywydau mor llawn â phosib. Felly, mae angen iddynt fod yn gwneud rhywbeth adeiladol â'u bywydau yn ogystal â chael cartref diogel. Felly, credaf fod y mater NEET yn hollol briodol fel dangosydd allweddol. Rwy'n falch o glywed am y £4.8 miliwn sy'n mynd i gael ei fuddsoddi mewn cronfa arloesedd, a fydd yn cefnogi mesurau fel tai yn gyntaf. Rhaid imi ddweud fy mod i'n credu bod y model tai yn gyntaf yn arbennig o berthnasol o ran digartrefedd ieuenctid a galluogi pobl ifanc i gadw tenantiaethau gyda'r math hwnnw o gefnogaeth, a'r ffaith nad ydym yn troi ein cefnau arnynt. Felly, os bydd pethau'n digwydd a bod problemau i'w datrys, nid ydym yn eu troi allan ac maent yn cael ail neu drydydd cyfle, beth bynnag fydd angen. Mae'r model tai yn gyntaf, gyda chymorth cofleidiol gan asiantaethau amrywiol, yn allweddol. Felly rwy'n croesawu'r agwedd honno ar y cyhoeddiad yn benodol. A gaf i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am y cyfeiriad at y rhai sy'n gadael gofal? Hefyd, cymeradwyaf waith Barnardo's yn y maes hwn. Rwyf hefyd yn falch o weld dyblu'r gronfa Dydd Gŵyl Dewi i helpu byw'n annibynnol. Roedd Carl Sargeant yn benderfynol y byddai'r gronfa Dydd Gŵyl Dewi yn sefydlu'r cysyniad hwn o fanc mam a dad a'i ddefnyddio yn y maes allweddol hwn. Credaf hefyd, i'r rhai sy'n gadael gofal, mai tai fel arfer fydd yr angen mwyaf amlwg ar eu cyfer. Rwy'n credu bod cyrhaeddiad addysgol yn beth gwirioneddol bwysig i bobl ifanc mewn gofal, ond pan fyddant yn gadael gofal - er y gallant fod mewn rhyw fath o addysg o hyd - mae tai wedyn yn fater o angen dybryd iawn, iawn. A chredaf fod rhianta corfforaethol mewn gwirionedd yn golygu rhyw fath o ddull tai yn gyntaf. Rwyf hefyd yn croesawu'r hyn a ddywedasoch am yr angen i bob asiantaeth gyhoeddus fod yn ymwybodol o'r risgiau o ddigartrefedd sy'n wynebu rhai pobl ifanc. Ac, unwaith eto, mae gennym y dull hwnnw ar gyfer plant sy'n derbyn gofal plant, y rhianta corfforaethol hwnnw, mae'n perthyn i bawb, nid gwasanaethau plant yn unig, ond mae'n mynd ar draws yr holl asiantaethau cyhoeddus. Felly, croesawaf y cyfeiriad hwnnw yn eich datganiad. Fodd bynnag, mae un neu ddau o bethau y credaf y dylwn bwyso am ateb arnynt, dim ond i weld beth yw syniadau Llywodraeth Cymru. Nid oes targed yn eich datganiad ar gyfer dileu digartrefedd ymhlith pobl ifanc. Nawr, gwn pan wnawn y mathau hynny o gyhoeddiadau, eu bod yn ddatganiadol, ond credaf o hyd eu bod yn gosod amcanion pwysig. Nawr, yn yr Alban, maent wedi haneru digartrefedd ieuenctid ers 2010. Yn Lloegr, ceir targed i haneru digartrefedd erbyn 2022, a'i ddileu erbyn 2027. Credaf y dylem ni osod rhai targedau hefyd. Nid wyf yn disgwyl ichi wneud hynny yn eich ateb, ond credaf y gallech ganfod bod dull gweithredu trawsbleidiol i hyn ac y byddem oll yn cytuno i'r ymrwymiad hwnnw ac i'r blaenoriaethau a'r costau ariannol y byddai'n rhaid ymrwymo iddynt wedyn. A chredaf y byddai hynny yn gosod gweledigaeth glir iawn ynghylch pa bryd yr ydym am ddileu'r pla hwn. Ond mae llawer sy'n ddefnyddiol yn y datganiad hwn, ac rwy'n n falch o'i gymeradwyo.
