English: Leader of the house, I'd like to ask for two statements if, possible. The first relates to the announcement today by the Welsh Local Government Association, who claim that children's services in Wales are nearly 'at crisis point' - and I quote. Now, clearly, increasing demand and reducing budgets is a recipe for disaster, as we all know. We have seen recently the difficulties in Powys, and it's clear that other councils in Wales are feeling the pressure in terms of the demands on their services and their ability to respond. So, with that backdrop, can I ask if the Minister for Children and Social Care therefore would be prepared to bring forward an oral statement at the earliest opportunity on the pressures facing children's services, and what the Welsh Government is planning to do to address them? That's the first one. The second request relates to plans to develop a metro system for Swansea bay and the western Valleys. As I've mentioned previously in this Chamber, the development of a metro system that, in principle, looks to improve travel times for people in south-west Wales is to be welcomed, naturally, but you'll be aware of concerns within Neath with regard to the need to protect the status of Neath railway station as part of any metro proposal. Feelings are running high in Neath at the moment. So, given that work has started in terms of the development of the strategic outline business case for the metro, would the Cabinet Secretary for transport be prepared to bring forward an oral statement outlining the work currently being undertaken and how he sees the project developing? Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, hoffwn i ofyn am ddau ddatganiad, os yw hynny'n bosibl. Mae'r cyntaf yn ymwneud â'r cyhoeddiad heddiw gan Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru, sy'n honni bod gwasanaethau plant yng Nghymru bron mewn argyfwng - . Nawr, yn amlwg, mae galw cynyddol a lleihau cyllidebau yn arwain at drychineb, fel y gwyddom ni i gyd. Rydym ni wedi gweld yr anawsterau ym Mhowys yn ddiweddar, ac mae'n amlwg bod cynghorau eraill yng Nghymru yn teimlo pwysau o ran y galwadau ar eu gwasanaethau a'u gallu i ymateb. Felly, gyda'r cefndir hwnnw, a gaf i ofyn a fyddai'r Gweinidog dros Blant a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, felly, yn fodlon cyflwyno datganiad llafar ar y cyfle cyntaf ar y pwysau sy'n wynebu gwasanaethau plant, a'r hyn y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu ei wneud i fynd i'r afael â nhw? Dyna'r cyntaf. Mae'r ail gais yn ymwneud â chynlluniau i ddatblygu system fetro ar gyfer Bae Abertawe a'r Cymoedd gorllewinol. Fel yr wyf wedi sôn o'r blaen yn y Siambr hon, mae datblygu system metro sydd, mewn egwyddor, yn ceisio gwella amseroedd teithio i bobl y de-orllewin i'w groesawu, yn naturiol, ond byddwch chi'n ymwybodol o'r pryderon yng Nghastell-nedd o ran yr angen i amddiffyn statws gorsaf drenau Castell-nedd yn rhan o unrhyw gynnig metro. Mae teimladau cryf yng Nghastell-nedd ar hyn o bryd. Felly, o gofio bod gwaith wedi dechrau ar ddatblygu'r achos busnes amlinellol strategol ar gyfer y metro, a fyddai Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros drafnidiaeth yn fodlon cyflwyno datganiad llafar sy'n amlinellu'r gwaith sy'n mynd rhagddo ar hyn o bryd a sut y mae'n disgwyl i'r prosiect ddatblygu? Diolch yn fawr.
