English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Thank you, Minister, for your statement. Whilst we welcome this Friday as the International Day of Disabled People, it is important not just to celebrate the contribution of disabled people, but to ask the question: in the past 12 months, since we had the same discussion, what has changed for the better? Can the Minister tell the Senedd how the lives of disabled people have improved and what the next 12 months look like? The legislative basis protecting the rights of disabled people is in the Equality Act 2010. The House of Lords established a specific Select Committee on the Equality Act 2010 and Disability and published a report in March 2016 entitled, 'The Equality Act 2010: the impact on disabled people'. Despite significant political and Government support for the Act, the conclusion of the House of Lords committee was that the Act had several weaknesses that did not afford the protection to disabled people as to those with other protected characteristics. 'Our witnesses, who included wheelchair users, blind and deaf people, and some with learning difficulties, were almost unanimous in believing that it was a mistake to have attempted to deal with discrimination on grounds of disability, sex, race and other protected characteristics in a single Equality Act. Life, they told us, had been easier with a dedicated Disability Discrimination Act and with a single Disability Rights Commission, rather than a Commission covering all inequalities and human rights.' What assessment has the Minister undertaken of the legislative protection offered to disabled people? And if she has not done so, will she commission such a review? The United Nations has set out three events for this year, looking at shaping an inclusive future, reducing inequalities through technology and the leadership of new generations, giving a voice to those children with disabilities. My question to the Minister is: what specific programmes or themes is the Welsh Government taking forward to mirror those established by the United Nations? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Diolch, Gweinidog, am eich datganiad. Er ein bod yn croesawu'r dydd Gwener hwn fel Diwrnod Rhyngwladol Pobl Anabl, mae'n bwysig nid yn unig dathlu cyfraniad pobl anabl, ond i ofyn y cwestiwn: yn ystod y 12 mis diwethaf, ers inni gael yr un drafodaeth, beth sydd wedi newid er gwell? A all y Gweinidog ddweud wrth y Senedd sut mae bywydau pobl anabl wedi gwella a sut bydd y 12 mis nesaf yn edrych? Mae'r sail ddeddfwriaethol sy'n diogelu hawliau pobl anabl yn Neddf Cydraddoldeb 2010. Sefydlodd Tŷ'r Arglwyddi Bwyllgor Dethol penodol ar Ddeddf Cydraddoldeb 2010 ac Anabledd, a chyhoeddodd adroddiad ym mis Mawrth 2016 o'r enw 'Deddf Cydraddoldeb 2010: yr effaith ar bobl anabl'. Er gwaethaf cefnogaeth wleidyddol a chefnogaeth sylweddol gan y Llywodraeth i'r Ddeddf, casgliad pwyllgor Tŷ'r Arglwyddi oedd bod gan y Ddeddf nifer o wendidau nad oedden nhw'n rhoi yr un amddiffyniad i bobl anabl ag i rai â nodweddion gwarchodedig eraill. 'Roedd ein tystion, a oedd yn cynnwys defnyddwyr cadeiriau olwyn, pobl ddall a byddar, a rhai ag anawsterau dysgu, bron yn unfrydol wrth gredu mai camgymeriad oedd ceisio ymdrin â gwahaniaethu ar sail anabledd, rhyw, hil a nodweddion gwarchodedig eraill mewn un Ddeddf Cydraddoldeb. Bu bywyd, medden nhw wrthym ni, yn haws gydag un ddeddf benodol, sef Deddf Gwahaniaethu ar sail Anabledd, a gydag un Comisiwn Hawliau Anabledd, yn hytrach na Chomisiwn sy'n cwmpasu pob anghydraddoldeb a hawliau dynol.' Pa asesiad y mae'r Gweinidog wedi'i wneud o'r amddiffyniad deddfwriaethol a gynigir i bobl anabl? Ac os nad yw hi wedi gwneud hynny, a wnaiff gomisiynu adolygiad o'i fath? Mae'r Cenhedloedd Unedig wedi nodi tri digwyddiad ar gyfer eleni, gan edrych ar lunio dyfodol cynhwysol, lleihau anghydraddoldebau drwy dechnoleg ac arweinyddiaeth cenedlaethau newydd, gan roi llais i'r plant hynny ag anableddau. Fy nghwestiwn i'r Gweinidog yw: pa raglenni neu themâu penodol y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu datblygu i adlewyrchu'r rhai a sefydlwyd gan y Cenhedloedd Unedig? Diolch.
