English: You state in your statement that the 'Welsh Government is a staunch advocate of people's right to control their own life, and for many disabled people, receiving direct payments can be crucial to achieving this goal.' Yet, despite the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 supposedly addressing this, and incorporating much of my private Members' Bill, which had been proposed before that on these matters, only some 3 per cent of the eligible population in Wales is currently still in receipt of direct payments. So, how do you respond to the statement by Disability Wales, quote: 'We do not see a clear strategy of direct payments supporting disabled people to take them on or to address any of the concerns or barriers to them raised by disabled people. Some disabled people are still not aware of the existence of direct payments, or how they can access them'? My second point, and final one is, you state in your statement that: 'Promoting and embedding the social model of disability, in both Welsh Government and public bodies across Wales, is a firm priority of this Government.' How do you, therefore, respond to a concern expressed today by Disability Wales - a particular concern that there is no duty on local authorities to ensure that people are aware of the support available; there is a lack of an easily accessible information point to see entitlements; despite prior commitments, we still see that Wales is not meeting up to commitments under the UN convention on the rights of disabled people; and crucially, they do not have clear information on the time frame for incorporation of the convention, and although -
Welsh: Dywedwch yn eich datganiad fod 'Llywodraeth Cymru yn eiriolwr pybyr dros hawl pobl i reoli eu bywyd eu hunain, ac i lawer o bobl anabl, gall cael taliadau uniongyrchol fod yn hanfodol er mwyn cyrraedd y nod yma.' Ond eto, er gwaethaf Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 sy'n rhoi sylw i hyn, ac yn ymgorffori llawer o fy Mil Aelod preifat, a gynigiwyd cyn hynny ar y materion hyn, mae rhyw 3 y cant yn unig o'r boblogaeth gymwys yng Nghymru ar hyn o bryd yn dal i gael taliadau uniongyrchol. Felly sut ydych chi'n ymateb i'r datganiad gan Anabledd Cymru, rwy'n dyfynnu: 'Nid ydym yn gweld strategaeth glir o daliadau uniongyrchol yn cefnogi pobl anabl i fynd â nhw ymlaen nac i fynd i'r afael ag unrhyw un o'r pryderon neu'r rhwystrau sy'n cael eu codi gan bobl anabl. Mae rhai pobl anabl nad ydyn nhw'n ymwybodol o fodolaeth taliadau uniongyrchol, na sut y gallan nhw gael gafael arnyn nhw'? Fy ail bwynt, a'r un olaf yw, rydych yn dweud yn eich datganiad fod: 'Hybu a gwreiddio'r model cymdeithasol o anabledd, yn Llywodraeth Cymru a chyrff cyhoeddus ledled Cymru, yw blaenoriaeth gadarn y Llywodraeth hon.' Sut ydych chi, felly, yn ymateb i bryder a fynegwyd heddiw gan Anabledd Cymru - pryder penodol nad oes dyletswydd ar awdurdodau lleol i sicrhau bod pobl yn ymwybodol o'r cymorth sydd ar gael; mae diffyg pwynt gwybodaeth hawdd ei gyrraedd i weld hawliau; er gwaethaf ymrwymiadau blaenorol, rydym yn dal i weld nad yw Cymru'n cyflawni ymrwymiadau o dan gonfensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar hawliau pobl anabl; ac yn hollbwysig, nid oes ganddyn nhw wybodaeth glir ynghylch y ffrâm amser ar gyfer ymgorffori'r confensiwn, ac er -
