English: Yes, well, the Member is obviously absolutely right about the numbers rising every year and, yes, this is something that is certainly happening in England and Wales. It is an upward trend. And the reasons behind it I think are very complex. I think it does include poverty and deprivation, and the impact of the UK Government's austerity programme - I don't think we can discount that having an effect on our most vulnerable families, but I don't think it's the whole picture. There's no doubt that local authorities are under pressure. The family court system is under considerable pressure and, certainly, some of the practices that have arisen in the family courts have increased the number of children who are staying in care. I did mention earlier in the statement about quite a trend, an upward trend, of giving care orders and placing the children at home. So, the children are under a care order but they're placed at home, and I believe we've got about 1,000 children like that in Wales, who are living with their families but actually are under a care order. But I want to pay tribute to what the local authorities are doing under great pressure, because they're doing a tremendous job and they are safeguarding vulnerable children and they are supporting families. But the reasons are very complex, I think, as Lynne Neagle said. There's a wide range of reasons, and we have got to try to work at them as we can. We certainly do need to give help to foster parents and adoptive parents, because they're absolutely key in this system. I mentioned earlier about this £2.3 million that we have given to the adoption service, and that is in order to help support adoptive parents so that we try to avoid the re-entry into care, because with children who are so damaged and have been through such difficult periods, whatever the adoptive parent does, there is additional help often needed. And so that is there, now, as a matter of right, the post-adoptive service. So I think that's a big step in progress. I don't think that we can say that we're expecting too much of the local authorities, because it's the lives of our children in Wales that are at stake. So, I think we have to aspire and we have to help them aspire. We could say all the time, 'It's austerity, we're all too pressed, we can't do anything, more and more children will come into care.' But you've got to try and do something, and I think it's right we have to try and do something on a governmental level. So, that's what we're trying to do by taking this forward.
Welsh: Ie, wel, mae'r Aelod yn amlwg yn llygad ei lle ynghylch y niferoedd yn cynyddu bob blwyddyn, ac ydy, yn sicr mae hyn yn rhywbeth sy'n digwydd yng Nghymru ac yn Lloegr. Mae'r tueddiad ar i fyny. Ac mae'r rhesymau am hynny'n gymhleth iawn yn fy marn i. Rwy'n credu eu bod yn cynnwys tlodi ac amddifadedd, ac effaith rhaglen gyni Llywodraeth y DU - nid wyf yn credu y gallwn ni ddiystyru bod hynny'n cael effaith ar ein teuluoedd mwyaf bregus, ond nid wyf i'n credu mai hwnnw yw'r darlun cyfan. Nid oes amheuaeth bod awdurdodau lleol dan bwysau. Mae'r system llysoedd teulu dan bwysau sylweddol ac, yn sicr, mae rhai o'r arferion sydd wedi codi yn y llysoedd teulu wedi cynyddu nifer y plant sy'n aros mewn gofal. Roeddwn i'n sôn yn gynharach yn y datganiad am duedd fawr, tuedd gynyddol, i roi gorchmynion gofal a lleoli'r plant yn eu cartrefi. Felly, mae'r plant dan orchymyn gofal ond maen nhw'n cael eu lleoli gartref, ac rwy'n credu bod gennym tua 1,000 o blant fel hyn yng Nghymru, sy'n byw gyda'u teuluoedd ond sydd mewn gwirionedd dan orchymyn gofal. Ond hoffwn roi teyrnged i'r hyn y mae'r awdurdodau lleol yn ei wneud, a hynny dan bwysau mawr, oherwydd maen nhw'n gwneud gwaith aruthrol ac yn diogelu plant sy'n agored i niwed ac yn cefnogi teuluoedd. Ond mae'r rhesymau'n gymhleth iawn, rwy'n credu, fel y dywedodd Lynne Neagle. Ceir amrywiaeth eang o resymau, ac mae'n rhaid inni geisio gweithio arnyn nhw fel y gallwn ni. Yn sicr, mae angen rhoi cymorth i rieni maeth a rhieni sy'n mabwysiadu, oherwydd maen nhw'n gwbl allweddol yn y system hon. Roeddwn i'n sôn yn gynharach am y £2.3 miliwn a roddwyd i'r gwasanaeth mabwysiadu, a hynny i helpu i gefnogi rhieni sy'n mabwysiadu fel ein bod ni'n ceisio osgoi plant yn cael eu haildderbyn i ofal. Oherwydd gyda phlant sydd wedi cael eu niweidio yn y fath fodd ac sydd wedi bod drwy'r fath gyfnodau adfydus, beth bynnag a wna'r rhiant sy'n mabwysiadu, yn aml bydd angen cymorth ychwanegol. Ac felly mae hynny, bellach, yn fater o hawl, sef y gwasanaeth ôl-fabwysiadu. Rwy'n credu bod hwnnw'n gam mawr ymlaen. Nid wyf i'n credu y gallwn ddweud ein bod ni'n disgwyl gormod gan yr awdurdodau lleol, oherwydd bywydau ein plant ni yng Nghymru sydd yn y fantol. Felly mae'n rhaid inni fod yn uchelgeisiol ac mae'n rhaid inni eu helpu nhw i fod yn uchelgeisiol. Digon hawdd yw dweud drwy'r amser, 'Cyni sydd ar fai, mae pawb dan bwysau, ni allwn wneud dim byd, a bydd mwy o blant eto'n dod i dderbyn gofal.' Ond mae'n rhaid i rywun geisio gwneud rhywbeth, ac rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n iawn inni geisio gwneud rhywbeth ar lefel lywodraethol. Felly, dyna'r hyn yr ydym ni'n ceisio ei wneud drwy fwrw ymlaen â hyn.
