English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd dros dro. Thank you so much to the committee for their work in producing this report. As the Minister will know, I want to see a children and young people's budget. As chair of the cross-party group on children and families, I was particularly interested to read the views of the Members of the Welsh Youth Parliament. They've highlighted improving mental health services as a key priority of theirs for this term, and again, it was highlighted as a key priority for them when the committee engaged with them. Key stakeholders identified by the committee also called on the Welsh Government to implement a robust mental health plan across Welsh universities, thereby once again looking at the mental health needs of our young people. I would fully endorse this approach, but more needs to be done to help all children and young people with their mental health. In April this year, 59 per cent of young people were waiting over four weeks for a child and adolescent mental health services appointment. Successive Governments, both UK and those devolved, have spoken of the importance of bringing about parity between mental and physical health, and yet, waiting lists remain shockingly high. So, I'd urge the Government, when thinking through their priorities for the next budget, to once and for all grapple with this truly serious issue. As well as young people, I'd like to talk about teeth, once again coming back to dentists. We really have a lack of NHS dentists, not just in my region of Mid and West Wales, but across Wales and across the UK. It's an issue many of us have raised. The lack of dentists, particularly for our children and young people once again means that this is a real health issue going forward, and I'm sure many of us have had this in our inboxes over the last year. I've had constituents contact me from across the region complaining of waiting lists of years, rather than months, in order to be able to be treated by an NHS dentist. One constituent - and this is a little warning alert here - had been driven to fill in their own cavity with a take-home kit because they'd waited so long for an appointment. That is so sad and not acceptable. When I pressed on this issue, the answer just seems to be focused on how we might be able to recruit and retain more dentists, and whilst I do entirely agree, there simply hasn't been a material change for those desperately waiting for treatment. So, I'd like to press the Minister: when considering areas to increase funding in the upcoming budget, a clear commitment to the dental sector here in Wales would have a radical impact on the current waiting lists and on our children and young people's health. Another issue that I think warrants immediate action from the Welsh Government is that of building fire safety. Let's think about what we're talking about here: individuals and families are living in blocks of flats that they know to be unsafe, who are still waiting for remediation works to start. I would urge the Government to put funds to use now in remediation works and in pursuing developers to contribute in fully righting their wrongs. And finally, I do want to echo what my colleague Heledd Fychan talked about here. In January I raised the proposal of free public transport for under-25-year-olds. The Deputy Minister for Climate Change indicated his broad support for such a proposal, and suggested it needed further investigation. Since then, Germany has introduced a €9 monthly pass for unlimited travel on buses, trains, trams and subways. And the Spanish Government only today announced that all short to medium-distance train journeys will be free from September. So, therefore, we can do it here in Wales. Not only would this proposal help us march towards our net-zero proposal, but would also be key to addressing social isolation and exclusion. So, finally, I would like to ask the Minister whether she would be willing to meet with me to look at a children and young people's budget going forward. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd dros dro. Diolch yn fawr iawn i'r pwyllgor am eu gwaith yn llunio'r adroddiad hwn. Fel y gŵyr y Gweinidog, hoffwn weld cyllideb ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc. Fel cadeirydd y grŵp trawsbleidiol ar blant a theuluoedd, roedd gennyf ddiddordeb arbennig mewn darllen barn Aelodau Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru. Maent wedi tynnu sylw at wella gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl fel un o'u blaenoriaethau allweddol ar gyfer y tymor hwn, ac unwaith eto, tynnwyd sylw at hynny fel blaenoriaeth allweddol pan ymgysylltodd y pwyllgor â hwy. Yn ogystal â hyn, galwodd rhanddeiliaid allweddol a nodwyd gan y pwyllgor ar Lywodraeth Cymru i weithredu cynllun iechyd meddwl cadarn ar draws prifysgolion Cymru, gan edrych unwaith eto ar anghenion iechyd meddwl ein pobl ifanc. Hoffwn gymeradwyo'r ymagwedd hon yn llawn, ond mae angen gwneud mwy i helpu pob plentyn a pherson ifanc gyda'u hiechyd meddwl. Ym mis Ebrill eleni, roedd 59 y cant o bobl ifanc yn aros dros bedair wythnos am apwyntiad gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl plant a'r glasoed. Mae Llywodraethau olynol, Llywodraeth y DU a'r llywodraethau datganoledig, wedi sôn am bwysigrwydd sicrhau cydraddoldeb rhwng iechyd meddwl ac iechyd corfforol, ac eto, mae rhestrau aros yn dal i fod yn frawychus o uchel. Felly, hoffwn annog y Llywodraeth, wrth ystyried eu blaenoriaethau ar gyfer y gyllideb nesaf, i fynd i'r afael â'r mater gwirioneddol ddifrifol hwn unwaith ac am byth. Yn ogystal â phobl ifanc, hoffwn siarad am ddannedd, a dychwelyd at ddeintyddion unwaith eto. Mae gennym brinder deintyddion GIG, nid yn unig yn fy rhanbarth i, sef Canolbarth a Gorllewin Cymru, ond ledled Cymru a ledled y DU. Mae'n fater y mae llawer ohonom wedi'i godi. Mae'r diffyg deintyddion, yn enwedig i'n plant a'n pobl ifanc unwaith eto yn golygu bod hon yn broblem iechyd go iawn wrth symud ymlaen, ac rwy'n siŵr bod llawer ohonom wedi cael gohebiaeth ar hyn dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf. Rwyf wedi cael etholwyr yn cysylltu â mi o bob rhan o'r rhanbarth yn cwyno am restrau aros o flynyddoedd, yn hytrach na misoedd, er mwyn gallu cael eu trin gan ddeintydd GIG. Penderfynodd un etholwr - a dyma rybudd bach yma - lenwi twll yn ei ddant ei hun gyda phecyn cartref am eu bod wedi aros cyhyd am apwyntiad. Mae hynny mor drist ac nid yw'n dderbyniol. Pan ofynnais am ymateb ar y mater, mae'n ymddangos bod yr ateb yn canolbwyntio ar sut y gallem recriwtio a chadw mwy o ddeintyddion, ac er fy mod yn cytuno'n llwyr, nid oes newid sylweddol wedi bod i'r rhai sy'n aros yn daer am driniaeth. Felly, hoffwn ofyn i'r Gweinidog: wrth ystyried meysydd ar gyfer cynyddu cyllid yn y gyllideb sydd i ddod, byddai ymrwymiad clir i'r sector deintyddol yma yng Nghymru yn cael effaith radical ar y rhestrau aros presennol ac ar iechyd ein plant a'n pobl ifanc. Mater arall y credaf y dylai Llywodraeth Cymru weithredu yn ei gylch ar unwaith yw diogelwch tân mewn adeiladau. Gadewch inni feddwl am yr hyn y siaradwn amdano yma: mae unigolion a theuluoedd yn byw mewn blociau o fflatiau y gwyddant eu bod yn anniogel, ac maent yn dal i aros i waith adfer ddechrau. Hoffwn annog y Llywodraeth i fuddsoddi arian mewn gwaith adfer yn awr a rhoi pwysau ar ddatblygwyr i gyfrannu at unioni eu camweddau'n llawn. Ac yn olaf, hoffwn adleisio'r hyn y soniodd fy nghyd-Aelod, Heledd Fychan, amdano yma. Ym mis Ionawr cyflwynais y cynnig o drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus am ddim i bobl ifanc dan 25 oed. Nododd y Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd ei gefnogaeth gyffredinol i gynnig o'r fath, ac awgrymodd fod angen ymchwilio ymhellach iddo. Ers hynny, mae'r Almaen wedi cyflwyno tocyn misol o €9 ar gyfer teithio diderfyn ar fysiau, trenau, tramiau a thanlwybrau. A heddiw cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Sbaen y bydd pob taith trên pellter byr a chanolig yn rhad ac am ddim o fis Medi ymlaen. Felly, gallwn ei wneud yma yng Nghymru. Byddai'r cynnig nid yn unig yn ein helpu i orymdeithio tuag at ein cynnig sero net, byddai hefyd yn allweddol i fynd i'r afael ag allgáu ac ynysigrwydd cymdeithasol. Felly, yn olaf, hoffwn ofyn i'r Gweinidog a fyddai'n fodlon cyfarfod â mi i edrych ar gyllideb plant a phobl ifanc wrth symud ymlaen. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
