English: Well, Llywydd, I thank Helen Mary Jones for that important supplementary question, and I think there is some good news coming for those families who are absolutely understandably concerned. I've seen the advice that the Minister will consider today on this matter in relation to prioritisation of group 6. Helen Mary Jones will know that the broad category of number 6 is underlying health conditions, and within that the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation identifies people with severe and profound learning disabilities. But the advice that I've seen going to the Minister advocates an inclusive approach, where the approach is less on gatekeeping than on ensuring that nobody entitled to vaccination is missed out. So, the proposal is to use GP registers of people with a learning disability as the basis of identifying eligible individuals, and that that should be supplemented by professional judgment and wider local knowledge, held, for example, by third sector organisations or by local authorities. And the advice goes beyond simple identification to creating the right conditions for people with a learning disability to be able to come forward comfortably, to feel at ease in receiving vaccination and thus to maximise take-up. So, the Minister will be considering that advice today, but I hope the Member is reassured that the approach that it takes is not one in which we take 'severe and profound' as a definition designed to minimise the number of people who can come through in that group, but to take a more inclusive approach, making sure that nobody who is entitled misses out. That is the approach we will want to take in Wales. And, Llywydd, maybe I should just say that the fact that we have GP registers of people with a learning disability, of course, is due to a very early decision made in the very first term of devolution, when David Melding brought forward a proposition for an annual health check for people with learning disabilities, supported around the Chamber at the time, and, as a result, we have these registers and are able now to use them, put them to good work, to make sure that people with learning disabilities are able to be vaccinated in line with that group 6 priority.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, diolchaf i Helen Mary Jones am y cwestiwn atodol pwysig yna, ac rwy'n credu bod rhywfaint o newyddion da yn dod i'r teuluoedd hynny sy'n bryderus, a hynny'n gwbl ddealladwy. Rwyf i wedi gweld y cyngor y bydd y Gweinidog yn ei ystyried heddiw ar y mater hwn o ran blaenoriaethu grŵp 6. Bydd Helen Mary Jones yn gwybod mai cyflyrau iechyd sylfaenol yw categori eang rhif 6, ac o fewn hynny mae'r Cyd-bwyllgor ar Imiwneiddio a Brechu yn nodi pobl ag anableddau dysgu difrifol a dwys. Ond mae'r cyngor yr wyf i wedi ei weld yn mynd at y Gweinidog yn argymell dull cynhwysol, lle mae'r dull yn canolbwyntio llai ar borthgadw nag ar sicrhau nad oes neb sydd â hawl i gael brechiad yn cael ei fethu. Felly, y cynnig yw defnyddio cofrestrau meddygon teulu o bobl ag anabledd dysgu fel y sail i nodi unigolion cymwys, ac y dylai hynny gael ei ategu gan farn broffesiynol a gwybodaeth leol ehangach, a ddelir, er enghraifft, gan sefydliadau trydydd sector neu gan awdurdodau lleol. Ac mae'r cyngor yn mynd y tu hwnt i nodi syml i greu'r amodau cywir i bobl ag anabledd dysgu allu dod ymlaen yn gyfforddus, i deimlo'n hapus i dderbyn brechiad ac felly i sicrhau bod cymaint â phosibl yn manteisio arno. Felly, bydd y Gweinidog yn ystyried y cyngor hwnnw heddiw, ond rwy'n gobeithio bod yr Aelod yn fwy tawel ei meddwl nad yw'r dull y mae'n ei fabwysiadu yn un lle'r ydym ni'n cymryd 'difrifol a dwys' fel diffiniad sydd â'r bwriad o sicrhau y gall cyn lleied â phosibl o bobl ddod drwodd yn y grŵp hwnnw, ond i fabwysiadu dull mwy cynhwysol, gan wneud yn siŵr nad oes neb sydd â hawl yn cael eu methu. Dyna'r dull y byddwn ni eisiau ei fabwysiadu yng Nghymru. A, Llywydd, efallai y dylwn i ddweud bod y ffaith bod gennym ni gofrestrau meddygon teulu o bobl ag anabledd dysgu, wrth gwrs, yn ganlyniad i benderfyniad cynnar iawn a wnaed yn nhymor cyntaf un datganoli, pan gyflwynodd David Melding gynnig o archwiliad iechyd blynyddol i bobl ag anableddau dysgu, a gefnogwyd ym mhob rhan o'r Siambr ar y pryd , ac, o ganlyniad, mae gennym ni'r cofrestrau hyn ac rydym ni bellach yn gallu eu defnyddio, gwneud gwaith da gyda nhw, i wneud yn siŵr bod pobl ag anableddau dysgu yn gallu cael eu brechu yn unol â'r flaenoriaeth grŵp 6 honno.
