English: Thank you very much to you all - those of you who spoke on this issue. Thank you to Laura Anne, to Gareth and to Siân as well. I'm very grateful to you. And I'd also like to thank those organisations that I spoke to who contributed towards my thinking here. Thank you also to the Deputy Minister as well for your response. I think I just really need to make this one thing clear - two things, really, actually; I'm cheating here. The first is: this is not me saying this. This is children and young people who are asking for this. The second is that I think there may be some confusion, and maybe it's the way we've presented this. This is not about removing the private organisations. This is about saying that the profit that they make needs to go back into caring for the children and young people who I believe they passionately do care for. We don't want that money to go to shareholders. It's very simple. You do not make a profit from vulnerable children. I've had a career in child protection - 27 years of it - and I do recognise the breadth and complexity of the matter that we've discussed here this afternoon. This is a complex issue and time is of the essence, because these are the lives of children and young people. The Children's Commissioner for Wales has been calling for this since 2017, and in her 2020 annual report, stated to date that no significant leadership had been shown by the Welsh Government on this matter. But I'm pleased to hear that it's now being taken forward. Now is the time to take action quickly. The independent care review - back to Scotland - was clear that children should not have to wait until the end of a traditional government review for change. And I would strongly encourage the Government to adopt that principle. I note that work will be ongoing throughout the summer and autumn, but we must see some short-term action and changes right now, whether that's commissioning, funding or support for local authorities to begin the process of increasing public and third sector provision until a point at which legislation could be brought forward that directs profits into care and not into the pockets of shareholders. I also recognise concerns from Members about the current provision in the private sector, and the concerns about any substantial change. I wholeheartedly agree that we cannot just tear out that provision. It must be done carefully and sensitively as we move towards a system that puts every penny towards the care and needs of children and young people. I finish with just this: many young people live in complex situations and have complex histories. And I just want to finish with the words of 13-year-old Phoebe, 'I want to stay until hopefully the sun comes out and gives me a nice life.' Thank you. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi i gyd - y rhai ohonoch a siaradodd am y mater hwn. Diolch i Laura Anne, i Gareth ac i Siân hefyd. Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn i chi. A hoffwn ddiolch hefyd i'r sefydliadau y siaradais â hwy ac a gyfrannodd tuag at fy ystyriaethau yma. Diolch hefyd i'r Dirprwy Weinidog am eich ymateb. Credaf fod gwir angen imi wneud un peth yn glir - dau beth, mewn gwirionedd; rwy'n deud celwydd. Y cyntaf yw: nid fi sy'n dweud hyn. Plant a phobl ifanc sy'n gofyn am hyn. Yr ail yw fy mod yn credu y gall fod rhywfaint o ddryswch, ac efallai fod hynny'n ymwneud â'r ffordd rydym wedi cyflwyno hyn. Nid yw hyn yn ymwneud â chael gwared ar y sefydliadau preifat. Mae hyn yn ymwneud â dweud bod angen i'r elw a wnânt fynd yn ôl i ofalu am y plant a'r bobl ifanc y credaf eu bod yn malio'n angerddol amdanynt. Nid ydym eisiau i'r arian hwnnw fynd i gyfranddalwyr. Mae'n syml iawn. Nid ydych yn gwneud elw o blant sy'n agored i niwed. Rwyf wedi cael gyrfa ym maes amddiffyn plant - dros 27 mlynedd - ac rwy'n cydnabod ehangder a chymhlethdod y mater rydym wedi'i drafod yma y prynhawn yma. Mae'n fater cymhleth ac mae amser yn hanfodol, am mai bywydau plant a phobl ifanc yw'r rhain. Mae Comisiynydd Plant Cymru wedi bod yn galw am hyn ers 2017, ac yn ei hadroddiad blynyddol yn 2020, dywedodd nad oedd Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dangos unrhyw arweiniad arwyddocaol ar y mater hyd yma. Ond rwy'n falch o glywed ei fod bellach yn cael sylw. Dyma'r amser i weithredu'n gyflym. Roedd yr adolygiad annibynnol o ofal - yn ôl i'r Alban - yn glir na ddylai plant orfod aros tan ddiwedd adolygiad llywodraeth traddodiadol cyn gweld newid. A byddwn yn annog y Llywodraeth yn gryf i fabwysiadu'r egwyddor honno. Sylwaf y bydd gwaith yn mynd rhagddo drwy gydol yr haf a'r hydref, ond mae'n rhaid inni weld gweithredu a newidiadau tymor byr yn awr, boed yn gomisiynu, ariannu neu gefnogi awdurdodau lleol i ddechrau'r broses o gynyddu darpariaeth sector cyhoeddus a'r trydydd sector hyd at bwynt lle gellid cyflwyno deddfwriaeth sy'n cyfeirio elw tuag at ofal ac nid i bocedi cyfranddalwyr. Rwyf hefyd yn cydnabod pryderon gan Aelodau am y ddarpariaeth bresennol yn y sector preifat, a'r pryderon ynglŷn ag unrhyw newid sylweddol. Cytunaf yn llwyr nad yw'n fater syml o ddileu'r ddarpariaeth honno. Mae'n rhaid ei wneud yn ofalus ac yn sensitif wrth inni symud tuag at system sy'n rhoi pob ceiniog tuag at ofal ac anghenion plant a phobl ifanc. Hoffwn gloi gyda hyn: mae llawer o bobl ifanc yn byw mewn sefyllfaoedd cymhleth ac mae ganddynt hanesion cymhleth. A hoffwn orffen gyda geiriau Phoebe sy'n 13 oed, 'Rwyf am aros nes daw'r haul allan, gobeithio, a rhoi bywyd braf i mi.' Diolch yn fawr iawn.
