English: Llywydd, I thank Lynne Neagle for those important points, which she raises very regularly on the floor of the Senedd to make sure that none of us forget about that very important dimension. She will know that we are already taking measures. Our decision not to restrict people's ability to meet in the outdoors is part of our determination to continue to use the weeks that are left to us when it is possible to do so in our climate so that people are able to get the mental health benefits of doing so. I was very glad indeed last week, given the fantastic weather we had, that Welsh people were not in the position that people are across our border, where there are significant restrictions on the ability of people to take advantage of the outdoors. She will know as well that our rule of six continues, outside the local lockdown areas, to allow six people from our extended household to meet together. Again, it's a powerful motivation in coming to that decision not to restrict those households further for the mental health and well-being needs of that extended household. Despite the real anxieties that we have, I hope we will be able to sustain that position for longer here in Wales. The impact of coronavirus on the mental health of young people has been particularly in our thoughts as universities resume here in Wales, as Andrew R.T. Davies said in his opening question. We have worked very hard with the higher education sector here in Wales and with the National Union of Students, who I must say I think have been fantastically constructive contributors to making sure that the welfare and well-being of students who are coming back to Wales or coming to Wales to study is properly safeguarded, to make sure that those services are in place to the maximum extent that we can make them. When I visited a school here in Cardiff last week it was heartening to hear from staff and students of the way that the extra investment in counselling services in our schools is making that more available to students in our schools this term than at any earlier point in the history of our school counselling service. Finally, to turn to Lynne Neagle's issue of dementia - an enormously challenging issue - I'm afraid there really are no straightforward or simple answers that are available to us. We struggle all the time with the issue of visits to care homes, knowing how important they are to people with dementia particularly, but knowing how vulnerable those people are to the virus being brought into an environment that in other ways has been so very carefully guarded to protect people's physical health. So, what we are doing is working closely with the third sector, with our partners in local authorities, and those who represent the views of families and people who have dementia, to put in the best balance we can manage between protecting those people's physical health and diluting the impact of the necessary restrictions on the mental health and well-being of that population. I wish there was a straightforward answer to it, but I know there's not. It's a matter of constant dialogue and trying to come to the best possible accommodations we can between some powerfully conflicting obligations that we have to that population.
Welsh: Lywydd, diolch i Lynne Neagle am y pwyntiau pwysig hynny, pwyntiau y mae'n eu codi'n rheolaidd iawn ar lawr y Senedd i sicrhau nad oes yr un ohonom yn anghofio am y dimensiwn pwysig hwnnw. Fe fydd yn gwybod ein bod eisoes yn cymryd camau. Mae ein penderfyniad i beidio â chyfyngu ar allu pobl i gyfarfod yn yr awyr agored yn rhan o'n penderfyniad i barhau i ddefnyddio'r wythnosau sydd ar ôl gennym, pan fo'n bosibl gwneud hynny yn ein hinsawdd ni, er mwyn i bobl allu elwa ar y manteision iechyd meddwl a ddaw o wneud hynny. Roeddwn yn falch tu hwnt yr wythnos diwethaf, o ystyried y tywydd gwych a gawsom, nad oedd pobl Cymru yn yr un sefyllfa â phobl dros y ffin, lle ceir cyfyngiadau sylweddol ar allu pobl i fanteisio ar yr awyr agored. Fe fydd yn gwybod hefyd fod ein rheol chwech yn parhau, y tu allan i'r ardaloedd lle ceir cyfyngiadau symud lleol, i ganiatáu i chwech o bobl o'n haelwyd estynedig gyfarfod â'i gilydd. Unwaith eto, mae anghenion iechyd meddwl a lles yr aelwyd estynedig yn gymhelliant pwerus wrth ddod i'r penderfyniad i beidio â chyfyngu'r aelwydydd hynny ymhellach. Er gwaethaf y pryderon gwirioneddol sydd gennym, rwy'n gobeithio y byddwn yn gallu cynnal y sefyllfa honno'n hirach yma yng Nghymru. Mae effaith coronafeirws ar iechyd meddwl pobl ifanc wedi bod yn arbennig o bwysig wrth i'r prifysgolion ailddechrau yma yng Nghymru, fel y dywedodd Andrew R.T. Davies yn ei gwestiwn agoriadol. Rydym wedi gweithio'n galed iawn gyda'r sector addysg uwch yma yng Nghymru a chydag Undeb Cenedlaethol y Myfyrwyr, sydd, mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud, wedi cyfrannu'n adeiladol tu hwnt i'r gwaith o sicrhau bod lles a llesiant myfyrwyr sy'n dod yn ôl i Gymru neu sy'n dod i Gymru i astudio yn cael eu diogelu'n briodol, er mwyn sicrhau bod y gwasanaethau ar waith i'r graddau mwyaf sy'n bosibl. Pan ymwelais ag ysgol yma yng Nghaerdydd yr wythnos diwethaf roedd yn galonogol clywed gan staff a myfyrwyr am y ffordd y mae'r buddsoddiad ychwanegol mewn gwasanaethau cwnsela yn ein hysgolion yn sicrhau bod mwy o hynny ar gael i fyfyrwyr yn ein hysgolion y tymor hwn nag ar unrhyw adeg arall yn hanes ein gwasanaeth cwnsela mewn ysgolion. Yn olaf, i droi at gwestiwn Lynne Neagle ynglŷn â dementia - mater heriol dros ben - mae arnaf ofn nad oes atebion syml ar gael i ni. Rydym yn ei chael hi'n anodd drwy'r amser gyda mater ymweliadau â chartrefi gofal, gan wybod pa mor bwysig ydynt i bobl â dementia yn enwedig, ond gan wybod pa mor agored i niwed yw'r bobl hynny i feirws yn cael ei gludo i amgylchedd sydd wedi'i warchod mor ofalus mewn ffyrdd eraill i ddiogelu iechyd corfforol pobl. Felly, yr hyn rydym yn ei wneud yw gweithio'n agos gyda'r trydydd sector, gyda'n partneriaid yn yr awdurdodau lleol, a'r rheini sy'n cynrychioli barn teuluoedd a phobl sydd â dementia, i sicrhau'r cydbwysedd gorau posibl rhwng diogelu iechyd corfforol y bobl hynny a gwanhau effaith y cyfyngiadau angenrheidiol ar iechyd meddwl a llesiant y boblogaeth honno. Byddai'n dda gennyf pe bai ateb syml i'r broblem, ond gwn nad oes. Mae'n fater o ddeialog gyson a cheisio dod i'r cyfaddawd gorau sy'n bosibl rhwng ein rhwymedigaethau i'r boblogaeth honno, rhwymedigaethau sy'n gwrthdaro'n enbyd.
