English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm very pleased to move the motion today in my name on the order paper. I think that some of the debates that we've had on mental health issues here in the National Assembly have seen the Assembly at its very best, coming together in order to highlight some of the challenges that we face collectively and bringing together people from different political persuasions to try to have and agree a consensus in terms of the approach that we can have on some of these issues. Indeed, there has been a lot of common ground in recent years. We were, of course, very fortunate to have the Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010, which was put forward by my colleague and former Assembly Member Jonathan Morgan some years ago, which was supported by all political parties in the Senedd at that time. And, of course, we've had a number of debates on mental health, including those where we've had Assembly Members talk about some of their own struggles and challenges with mental health problems. And I think they've been some of the most powerful debates, frankly, that I certainly as an Assembly Member have experienced. We've also come together, of course, to try to support the aims and objectives of the Time to Change campaign, to tackle the stigma around mental health. And so it's in that spirit that we bring forward this debate this afternoon, and we're very grateful to acknowledge the support that we've had from Mind Cymru and from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which have indicated to us that they fully support the motion that's before us. Now, we've had debates on many aspects of secondary and primary mental health care, but I don't recall ever having a specific debate focusing on the issue that we want to talk about today, and that is community mental health teams. And I think it's important that we look at this issue, and very timely that we look at this issue, because, of course, we have seen the identification of a number of problems with community mental health teams as a result of the Healthcare Inspectorate Wales and Care Inspectorate Wales joint report, which was published in February. But I just wanted to take the opportunity to remind people what community mental health teams are about. Now, from their name, you might think that they're part of the primary care system, because they're based in the community, but that of course is not the case - they are firmly part of the secondary care approach to mental health. They are multidisciplinary teams that very often involve psychiatric nurses, psychologists, therapists, counsellors, support workers and social workers, who come together in order to support people with quite acute and difficult mental health problems - complex and severe mental health problems.
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Rwy'n falch iawn o wneud y cynnig yn fy enw ar y papur trefn heddiw. Credaf fod rhai o'r dadleuon a gawsom ar faterion iechyd meddwl yma yn y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol wedi gweld y Cynulliad ar ei orau, yn dod ynghyd er mwyn tynnu sylw at rai o'r heriau sy'n ein hwynebu ar y cyd ac yn dwyn pobl at ei gilydd o wahanol dueddiadau gwleidyddol i geisio cytuno ar gonsensws o ran y dull gweithredu y gallwn ei gael ar rai o'r materion hyn. Yn wir, cafwyd llawer o dir cyffredin yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Roeddem yn ffodus iawn, wrth gwrs, o gael Mesur Iechyd Meddwl (Cymru) 2010, a gyflwynwyd gan fy nghyd-Aelod a'r cyn-Aelod Cynulliad Jonathan Morgan rai blynyddoedd yn ôl, ac a gefnogwyd gan yr holl bleidiau gwleidyddol yn y Senedd ar y pryd. Ac wrth gwrs, rydym wedi cael nifer o ddadleuon ar iechyd meddwl, gan gynnwys y rheini lle cawsom Aelodau'r Cynulliad yn siarad am rai o'u heriau a'u brwydrau eu hunain â phroblemau iechyd meddwl. A chredaf eu bod wedi bod ymhlith rhai o'r dadleuon mwyaf grymus, a dweud y gwir, a brofais i, yn sicr, fel Aelod Cynulliad. Rydym wedi dod at ein gilydd hefyd, wrth gwrs, i geisio cefnogi nodau ac amcanion yr ymgyrch Amser i Newid, i fynd i'r afael â'r stigma sydd ynghlwm wrth iechyd meddwl. Ac felly, yn yr ysbryd hwnnw y cyflwynwn y ddadl hon y prynhawn yma, ac rydym yn ddiolchgar iawn i allu cydnabod y cymorth a gawsom gan Mind Cymru a Chymdeithas Cwnsela a Seicotherapi Prydain, sydd wedi dweud wrthym eu bod yn cefnogi'r cynnig sydd ger ein bron yn llwyr. Nawr, rydym wedi cael dadleuon ar sawl agwedd ar ofal iechyd meddwl sylfaenol ac eilaidd, ond nid wyf yn cofio inni gael dadl benodol yn canolbwyntio ar yr hyn yr ydym am sôn amdano heddiw, sef timau iechyd meddwl cymunedol. Ac mae'n bwysig ein bod yn edrych ar y mater hwn, ac yn amserol iawn ein bod edrych ar y mater hwn, oherwydd, wrth gwrs, rydym wedi gweld nifer o broblemau'n codi mewn perthynas â thimau iechyd meddwl cymunedol o ganlyniad i'r cyd-adroddiad gan Arolygiaeth Gofal Iechyd Cymru ac Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru, a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Chwefror. Ond roeddwn am fanteisio ar y cyfle i atgoffa pobl o'r hyn y mae timau iechyd meddwl cymunedol yn ei wneud. Nawr, o'u henw, gallech feddwl eu bod yn rhan o'r system gofal sylfaenol, am eu bod wedi'u lleoli yn y gymuned, ond nid yw hynny'n wir wrth gwrs - maent yn bendant yn rhan o'r dull gofal eilaidd o weithredu gofal iechyd meddwl. Maent yn dimau amlddisgyblaethol sy'n aml iawn yn cynnwys nyrsys seiciatrig, seicolegwyr, therapyddion, cwnselwyr, gweithwyr cymorth a gweithwyr cymdeithasol, ac sy'n dod at ei gilydd er mwyn cefnogi pobl sydd â phroblemau iechyd meddwl acíwt ac anodd iawn - problemau iechyd meddwl cymhleth a difrifol.
