English: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Dirprwy Llywydd, and thank you to everyone who has taken part in this debate this afternoon, and a very important debate. And a huge thank you especially to my colleague Peter Fox for taking forward the motion we have before us this afternoon. As Peter highlighted, motor neurone disease is a terrible illness, without any cure and a shockingly rapid progression that tragically robs its victims of their life in such a short and painful time. Half of all sufferers lose their battle to this disease within two years of diagnosis. During this short fight, MND robs the brain of the ability to communicate with the body. It can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and even breathe. The last thing MND sufferers need is to have to fight with their local authority for the adaptations needed for them to live safely and with dignity in their own homes. But this is the reality that those living with MND have to face in today's Wales. Despite actions from the Welsh Government, we have a postcode lottery of home adaptations, and if, like me, you want to end that lottery, I urge you to support our motion today. We will be supporting Plaid Cymru's amendment, as we too believe that Wales is being left behind when it comes to medical research, particularly into neurological conditions. As Rhun ap Iorwerth pointed out, housing adaptations for people with MND is poor. Laura Anne Jones expanded on that with the postcode lottery, and the exacerbations that happen as a result of that. Sam Rowlands mentioned a personal story with the late, great Councillor William Knightly from Towyn. I remember him fondly, as many probably from north Wales on our benches will do, too. Minister, it was promising to hear the Welsh Government's work on clinical trials for treatment, and recognising the need for clinical trials, because I think if we're going to take this forward and really look towards treatments on this, we need to be leading on trying to develop some research on this so that we're heading in the right direction. It was sad to hear about your uncle Robert and his personal struggle with the disease. I'd just like to tie up today's debate by urging Members to support our motion this afternoon. Thank you very much.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Ddirprwy Lywydd, a diolch i bawb sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn y ddadl hon y prynhawn yma, sy'n ddadl bwysig iawn. A diolch enfawr yn arbennig i fy nghyd-Aelod, Peter Fox, am gyflwyno'r cynnig sydd ger ein bron y prynhawn yma. Fel y nododd Peter, mae clefyd niwronau motor yn salwch ofnadwy, heb wellhad, ac mae'n datblygu'n syfrdanol o gyflym gan amddifadu dioddefwyr o'u bywydau'n drasig mewn cyfnod mor fyr a phoenus. Mae hanner yr holl ddioddefwyr yn colli eu brwydr i'r clefyd hwn o fewn dwy flynedd i gael diagnosis. Yn ystod y frwydr fer hon, mae clefyd niwronau motor yn niweidio gallu'r ymennydd i gyfathrebu â'r corff. Gall effeithio ar sut rydych yn cerdded, siarad, bwyta, yfed a hyd yn oed anadlu. Y peth olaf sydd ei angen ar ddioddefwyr clefyd niwronau motor yw gorfod brwydro gyda'u hawdurdod lleol am yr addasiadau sydd eu hangen arnynt i fyw'n ddiogel a chydag urddas yn eu cartrefi eu hunain. Ond dyma'r realiti y mae'n rhaid i'r rhai sy'n byw gyda chlefyd niwronau motor ei wynebu yng Nghymru heddiw. Er gwaethaf camau gweithredu gan Lywodraeth Cymru, mae gennym loteri cod post mewn perthynas ag addasiadau i'r cartref, ac os ydych chi, fel finnau, eisiau dod â'r loteri honno i ben, fe'ch anogaf i gefnogi ein cynnig heddiw. Byddwn yn cefnogi gwelliant Plaid Cymru, gan ein bod ninnau hefyd yn credu bod Cymru ar ei hôl hi mewn perthynas ag ymchwil feddygol, yn enwedig i gyflyrau niwrolegol. Fel y nododd Rhun ap Iorwerth, mae addasiadau tai i bobl â chlefyd niwronau motor yn wael. Ymhelaethodd Laura Anne Jones ar hynny gyda'r loteri cod post, a'r gwaethygu sy'n digwydd o ganlyniad i hynny. Soniodd Sam Rowlands am stori bersonol gyda'r diweddar Gynghorydd William Knightly o Dowyn. Mae gennyf atgofion hoffus amdano, fel y bydd gan lawer o'r Aelodau o ogledd Cymru ar ein meinciau, mae'n siŵr. Weinidog, roedd yn addawol clywed am waith Llywodraeth Cymru ar dreialon clinigol ar gyfer triniaeth, a chydnabod yr angen am dreialon clinigol, oherwydd os ydym am fwrw ymlaen â hyn ac edrych o ddifrif ar driniaethau fel hyn, credaf fod angen inni arwain ar geisio datblygu ymchwil ar hyn fel ein bod yn mynd i'r cyfeiriad cywir. Trist oedd clywed am eich ewythr Robert a'i frwydr bersonol gyda'r clefyd. Hoffwn gloi'r ddadl heddiw drwy annog yr Aelodau i gefnogi ein cynnig y prynhawn yma. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
