English: It is a problem all over Wales and far beyond Wales, and there's a lively debate going on in Newport, and I'm sure in other parts of Wales, as to what the best approach is. I'm engaging in that debate at the moment. One positive aspect of it, I think, is Newport Now BID, which is an organisation involving lots of the city-centre traders, taking forward a proposal for diverted giving, which I think is very positive in many ways and does involve different agencies. So, that would encourage people to give money to shops taking part in the scheme. They would have posters identifying their participation and that money then would go to agencies who would provide greater support and assistance for those in Newport who are sleeping rough. That is an alternative, then, to giving money directly to the people on the streets, which might actually continue their problems of substance misuse, for example. So, there are imaginative ideas around in Newport, and, as I say, a lively debate going on at the moment. Dirprwy Lywydd, one other matter I'd like to refer to before my allocated time expires in the Chamber is prison leavers. I know, again, there is a lively debate around this. Changes have taken place in terms of the housing Act that removed automatic priority for prison leavers, and I know that many of the organisations in the sector are very concerned about this. I too am concerned about it because the statistics seem to be showing an increase in rough-sleeping and homelessness for prison leavers. I think we could all easily understand the consequences of that in terms of more crime, more victims of crime, problems for those prison leavers and society in general, and indeed additional costs to the public purse. So, if that is the case, if Welsh Government does agree that there has been or there is that trend, then I would hope very much and expect that Welsh Government will look at that problem and perhaps review what has been done and see how we can address those problems as we go forward, because I think that is a major concern for those organisations, and it certainly is for me also.
Welsh: Mae'n broblem ledled Cymru ac ymhell y tu hwnt i Gymru, ac mae dadl fywiog yn digwydd yng Nghasnewydd, ac mewn rhannau eraill o Gymru rwy'n siŵr, ynglŷn â beth yw'r dull gorau. Rwy'n cymryd rhan yn y ddadl honno ar hyn o bryd. Un agwedd gadarnhaol ar y mater, rwy'n meddwl, yw ardal gwella busnes Newport Now, sefydliad sy'n cynnwys llawer o fasnachwyr canol y ddinas, ac sy'n datblygu cynnig ar gyfer dargyfeirio rhodd, cynnig y credaf ei fod yn gadarnhaol iawn mewn llawer o ffyrdd ac mae'n cynnwys asiantaethau gwahanol. Felly, byddai hynny'n annog pobl i roi arian i siopau sy'n rhan o'r cynllun. Byddai ganddynt bosteri'n dangos eu bod yn rhan ohono ac yna byddai'r arian hwnnw'n mynd i asiantaethau a fyddai'n darparu mwy o gefnogaeth a chymorth i'r rhai yng Nghasnewydd sy'n cysgu ar y stryd. Dyna ddewis arall, felly, yn lle rhoi arian yn uniongyrchol i bobl ar y stryd, a allai barhau eu problemau gyda chamddefnyddio sylweddau, er enghraifft. Felly, mae yna syniadau llawn dychymyg o amgylch Casnewydd, ac fel rwy'n dweud, mae dadl fywiog yn mynd rhagddi ar hyn o bryd. Ddirprwy Lywydd, un mater arall yr hoffwn gyfeirio ato cyn i'r amser a neilltuwyd ar fy nghyfer ddod i ben yn y Siambr yw pobl sy'n cael eu rhyddhau o'r carchar. Unwaith eto, rwy'n gwybod bod trafodaeth fywiog yn mynd rhagddi ar hyn. Mae newidiadau wedi digwydd mewn perthynas â'r Ddeddf tai a gafodd wared ar flaenoriaethu awtomatig ar gyfer pobl sy'n gadael carchar, a gwn fod llawer o'r sefydliadau yn y sector yn bryderus iawn am hyn. Rwyf innau hefyd yn bryderus ynglŷn â hyn oherwydd mae'n ymddangos bod yr ystadegau'n dangos cynnydd mewn digartrefedd a chysgu ar y stryd ymhlith pobl sy'n cael eu rhyddhau o'r carchar. Credaf y gallai pawb ohonom yn hawdd ddeall canlyniadau hynny o ran mwy o droseddu, mwy o ddioddefwyr troseddau, problemau i'r bobl sy'n gadael carchar a'r gymdeithas yn gyffredinol, a chostau ychwanegol yn wir i'r pwrs cyhoeddus. Felly, os yw hynny'n wir, os yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn cytuno bod y tueddiad hwnnw wedi digwydd neu yn digwydd, yna buaswn yn gobeithio'n fawr iawn ac yn disgwyl i Lywodraeth Cymru edrych ar y broblem honno ac adolygu yr hyn a wnaed efallai, a gweld sut y gallwn ymdrin â'r problemau hynny wrth inni symud ymlaen, oherwydd credaf fod hynny'n peri pryder mawr i'r sefydliadau hynny, ac i minnau hefyd yn sicr.
