English: I don't wish to repeat other contributions today, but I do wish to echo other sentiments and pay tribute to Rhian and others who have suffered the worst of times but have found the strength to help so many others. We are united today in our support, and rightly so. This is something that we hope we'll never have to experience but unfortunately happens, and whatever we put in place, we cannot end sudden or unexpected death in children and young adults, but we can take steps to reduce. But being able to ensure that the services are there when the worst thing happens is something that is within our control. Looking at the petition, and specifically Rhian's response to the committee, I would urge the Minister - and I'm sure you have done so - to look carefully at Rhian's recommendations, because, obviously, she is coming from a place of experience and representing so many. In her correspondence to the Petitions Committee, Rhian mentioned the survey of bereavement services in Wales in 2020, and, as Sam rightfully mentioned, the lack of consistency. And though we do have a summary of those responses, it isn't clear what those services are, who's delivering them and neither what kind of support is being provided. In the survey, it also states that 42 per cent of services provide immediate support, but that isn't measured either. It isn't clear what that support constitutes. Rhian rightfully says that we need to better understand, even though this survey has taken place, what the current situation is, because my experience already as a new Member is that it is very difficult to find what services are available locally, especially representing an area such as South Wales Central, which, obviously, covers two different health boards and so on. It is very difficult to be able to signpost exactly what the services are. As we've heard during this debate, the fact that it is charities such as 2 Wish that are providing this essential support means that it isn't mandatory at present. I think that's the thing that I would like to see come out of the petition more than anything else: we have warm words of support, we know the value of services provided, we realise the impact of organisations such as 2 Wish - we've also got organisations like Grief Support Cymru within my region - but, at the worst of times, we need to make sure that staff who are faced with grieving parents and relatives and so on know where to signpost immediately, because, unfortunately, as Rhian tragically experienced herself, that impact is devastating on parents and can lead to further loss and grief. I would urge the Government to reflect on Rhian's thoughtful and meaningful reflections and recommendations, so that those are fully considered. I don't like with the petitions that we just note petitions. I know that is the way of the Senedd, and I find it extremely strange, because it's not about noting, is it? It's about wholeheartedly supporting the sentiment and the effort behind here, and it is about just ensuring that simple request of the immediate support being mandatory. If we can achieve that, I think that we will be in a better place to support people at the worst of times.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn dymuno ailadrodd cyfraniadau gan eraill heddiw, ond hoffwn adleisio teimladau eraill a thalu teyrnged i Rhian ac eraill sydd wedi dioddef y profiadau gwaethaf ond sydd wedi dod o hyd i nerth i gynorthwyo cymaint o bobl eraill. Rydym yn unedig heddiw yn ein cefnogaeth, ac yn briodol felly. Mae hyn yn rhywbeth rydym yn gobeithio na fydd yn rhaid inni ei brofi byth, ond yn anffodus, mae'n digwydd, ac ni waeth beth a roddwn ar waith, ni allwn roi diwedd ar farwolaethau sydyn neu annisgwyl plant ac oedolion ifanc, ond gallwn gymryd camau i'w lleihau. Ond mae gallu sicrhau bod y gwasanaethau yno pan fydd y peth gwaethaf yn digwydd yn rhywbeth sydd o fewn ein rheolaeth. Wrth edrych ar y ddeiseb, ac yn enwedig ar ymateb Rhian i'r pwyllgor, hoffwn annog y Gweinidog - ac rwy'n siŵr eich bod wedi gwneud hynny - i edrych yn ofalus ar argymhellion Rhian, oherwydd yn amlwg, mae ganddi brofiad o hyn ac mae'n cynrychioli cymaint o bobl. Yn ei gohebiaeth â'r Pwyllgor Deisebau, soniodd Rhian am yr arolwg o wasanaethau profedigaeth yng Nghymru yn 2020, ac fel y nododd Sam yn gwbl gywir, y diffyg cysondeb. Ac er bod gennym grynodeb o'r ymatebion hynny, nid yw'n glir beth yw'r gwasanaethau hynny, pwy sy'n eu darparu na pha fath o gymorth sy'n cael ei ddarparu. Yn yr arolwg, mae hefyd yn nodi bod 42 y cant o wasanaethau'n darparu cymorth ar unwaith, ond nid yw hynny'n cael ei fesur chwaith. Nid yw'n glir beth y mae'r cymorth hwnnw'n ei gynnwys. Dywed Rhian, yn gwbl gywir, fod angen inni ddeall yn well, er bod yr arolwg hwn wedi'i gwblhau, beth yw'r sefyllfa bresennol, oherwydd fy mhrofiad eisoes fel Aelod newydd yw ei bod yn anodd iawn darganfod pa wasanaethau sydd ar gael yn lleol, yn enwedig i gynrychioli ardal megis Canol De Cymru, sydd, yn amlwg, yn cynnwys dau fwrdd iechyd gwahanol ac yn y blaen. Mae'n anodd iawn dweud wrth bobl beth yn union yw'r gwasanaethau. Fel y clywsom yn y ddadl hon, mae'r ffaith mai elusennau fel 2 Wish sy'n darparu'r cymorth hanfodol hwn yn golygu nad yw'n orfodol ar hyn o bryd. Yn anad dim, credaf mai dyna yr hoffwn ei weld yn deillio o'r ddeiseb hon: cawn eiriau cynnes o gefnogaeth, gwyddom werth y gwasanaethau a ddarperir, rydym yn cydnabod effaith sefydliadau fel 2 Wish - mae gennym hefyd sefydliadau fel Grief Support Cymru yn fy rhanbarth i - ond ar yr adegau gwaethaf, mae angen inni sicrhau bod staff sy'n ymdrin â rhieni a pherthnasau sy'n galaru ac ati yn gwybod ble i'w cyfeirio ar unwaith, oherwydd yn anffodus, fel y gwelodd Rhian mor drychinebus ei hun, mae'r effaith honno'n ddinistriol ar rieni, a gall arwain at golled a galar pellach. Byddwn yn annog y Llywodraeth i ystyried syniadau ac argymhellion meddylgar ac ystyrlon Rhian, fel eu bod yn cael sylw llawn. Gyda'r deisebau, nid wyf yn hoffi ein bod ond yn eu nodi. Gwn mai dyna'r drefn yn y Senedd, ac mae hynny'n rhyfedd iawn yn fy marn i, gan fod hyn yn ymwneud â mwy na nodi, onid yw? Mae'n ymwneud â rhoi cefnogaeth lwyr i'r teimlad a'r ymdrech sy'n sail i hyn, ac mae'n ymwneud â sicrhau'r cais syml fod cymorth ar unwaith yn orfodol. Os gallwn gyflawni hynny, credaf y byddwn mewn lle gwell i gefnogi pobl ar yr adegau gwaethaf.
