English: Thank you for your statement, Deputy Minister. I wholeheartedly welcome this plan, setting out a range of steps that we are taking here in Wales to ensure that every child has the best start in life, now and in future. But there are four elements of the plan I wanted to just touch base on, and I would appreciate a response on those four areas in brief from you. First, I welcome the fact that advocacy for children and young people in care, or involved with care services, is included. The 2019 Tros Gynnal Plant research highlighted significant concerns with the provision of independent residential visiting advocacy services by private providers. Could I ask you, therefore, first, what steps will be taken to ensure that every child in care, no matter the provider, has access to independent advocacy? Secondly, following on from what Heledd said, I very much welcome the focus given to mental health and well-being in this plan. But, as we've heard, with 78 per cent of patients referred to CAMHS services, we do need to improve. I do accept what you said: that we need to ensure that children don't reach CAMHS services. But for those who do, they need a faster response. Therefore, I would like to hear specifically what targets the Welsh Government have in reducing the CAMHS waiting lists. Thirdly, there is an absence of any commitment with regard to the role that for-profit providers play in residential care for children and young people - a key issue repeatedly raised, as you and I have talked about, by care-experienced young people, and one that I know plays a significant role in financing children's services. Could I just seek your reassurance that this proposal remains a priority for the Government? And finally -
Welsh: Diolch i chi am eich datganiad, Dirprwy Weinidog. Rwy'n croesawu'r cynllun hwn yn llwyr, gan nodi amrywiaeth o gamau yr ydym ni'n eu cymryd yma yng Nghymru i sicrhau bod pob plentyn yn profi'r dechrau gorau yn ei fywyd, nawr ac yn y dyfodol. Ond mae yna bedair elfen o'r cynllun yr hoffwn i gyffwrdd â nhw, ac fe fyddwn i'n gwerthfawrogi ymateb cryno gennych chi ynglŷn â'r pedwar maes. Yn gyntaf, rwy'n croesawu'r ffaith bod eiriolaeth i blant a phobl ifanc mewn gofal, neu sy'n ymwneud â gwasanaethau gofal, yn cael ei gynnwys. Amlygodd ymchwil Tros Gynnal Plant 2019 bryderon sylweddol ynghylch darparu gwasanaethau ymweliadol eiriolaeth preswyl annibynnol gan ddarparwyr preifat. A gaf i ofyn i chi, felly, yn gyntaf, pa gamau a gymerir i sicrhau bod pob plentyn mewn gofal, does dim ots pwy yw'r darparwr, yn gallu cael gafael ar eiriolaeth annibynnol? Yn ail, yn dilyn ymlaen o'r hyn a ddywedodd Heledd, rwy'n croesawu'n fawr iawn y pwyslais a roddir ar iechyd meddwl a lles yn y cynllun hwn. Ond, fel y clywsom ni, gyda 78 y cant o gleifion yn cael eu cyfeirio at wasanaethau CAMHS, mae angen i ni wella'r sefyllfa. Rwy'n derbyn yr hyn y gwnaethoch chi ei ddweud: bod angen i ni sicrhau nad yw plant yn cyrraedd gwasanaethau CAMHS. Ond i'r rhai hynny sydd eu hangen, mae angen ymateb cynt arnyn nhw. Felly, fe hoffwn i glywed pa nodau penodol sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru o ran lleihau rhestrau aros CAMHS. Yn drydydd, nid oes unrhyw ymrwymiad o ran swyddogaeth darparwyr er elw mewn gofal preswyl i blant a phobl ifanc - mater allweddol a godwyd dro ar ôl tro, fel yr ydych chi a minnau wedi siarad amdano, gan bobl ifanc â phrofiad o ofal, ac yn un y gwn sydd â rhan bwysig wrth ariannu gwasanaethau plant. A gaf i ofyn am sicrwydd gennych chi bod y cynnig hwn yn parhau i fod yn flaenoriaeth i'r Llywodraeth? Ac yn olaf -
