English: Thank you very much for raising that issue. I've been having some discussion with colleagues in terms of the budget for next year, but, within this year, we've already recognised that we have a real need to further invest in children's services and particularly so because we're concerned about the number of children who are being taken into care. So, that's why, on 14 September, I allocated £40 million to aid the implementation of the social care recovery framework, and that will obviously support children's services. But we've also provided £20 million this financial year to manage the demand for placements and to secure better placements for those children and young people who need them, whilst activity is taking place to increase the range of accommodation and in-patient options that will meet the needs of those who have the highest need. We do have a very ambitious programme of reform for the development of children's services. That's in both the short and medium terms in order to help relieve the pressures on children's services by taking action to develop what we started in the previous Senedd term to prevent families from being broken up, to reduce the number of children being taken into care and to provide care for children who are in care much closer to home where appropriate. We've committed to delivering on our priorities for children's services, awarding £3.5 million to regional partnership boards to pump prime the delivery of regional residential accommodation for care-experienced children with complex needs. But, as I say, we're looking forward in terms of additional funding for health and social care and currently having those discussions with colleagues, but I want to provide reassurance that we do recognise the importance of children's social services and also children's mental health as well.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am godi'r mater hwn. Rwyf wedi bod yn trafod y gyllideb ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf gyda fy nghyd-Aelodau, ond eleni, rydym eisoes wedi cydnabod bod gwir angen inni fuddsoddi ymhellach mewn gwasanaethau plant ac yn arbennig felly gan ein bod yn poeni am nifer y plant sy'n derbyn gofal. Felly, dyna pam y dyrannais £40 miliwn ar 14 Medi i gynorthwyo'r gwaith o weithredu'r fframwaith adfer gofal cymdeithasol, a bydd hynny'n amlwg yn cefnogi gwasanaethau plant. Ond rydym hefyd wedi darparu £20 miliwn yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon i reoli'r galw am leoliadau ac i sicrhau gwell lleoliadau i blant a phobl ifanc sydd eu hangen, tra bo gwaith yn mynd rhagddo i gynyddu'r ystod o lety a dewisiadau i gleifion mewnol er mwyn diwallu anghenion y rheini sydd â'r anghenion mwyaf. Mae gennym raglen ddiwygio uchelgeisiol iawn ar gyfer datblygu gwasanaethau plant. Mae hynny ar gyfer y tymor byr a'r tymor canolig er mwyn helpu i leddfu'r pwysau ar wasanaethau plant drwy gymryd camau i ddatblygu'r hyn a ddechreuwyd gennym yn nhymor y Senedd ddiwethaf i atal teuluoedd rhag cael eu gwahanu, lleihau nifer y plant sy'n derbyn gofal a darparu gofal i blant sydd mewn gofal yn llawer agosach at adref lle bo hynny'n briodol. Rydym wedi ymrwymo i gyflawni ein blaenoriaethau ar gyfer gwasanaethau plant, gan ddyfarnu £3.5 miliwn i fyrddau partneriaeth rhanbarthol er mwyn ysgogi darpariaeth llety preswyl rhanbarthol ar gyfer plant â phrofiad o fod mewn gofal sydd ag anghenion cymhleth. Ond fel y dywedaf, rydym yn edrych ymlaen at weld cyllid ychwanegol ar gyfer iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol ac yn cael y trafodaethau hynny gyda chyd-Aelodau ar hyn o bryd, ond hoffwn roi sicrwydd ein bod yn cydnabod pwysigrwydd gwasanaethau cymdeithasol plant, yn ogystal ag iechyd meddwl plant.
