English: Jenny Rathbone mentioned the need for more research - in this case, into air pollution and junk food. I can only give anecdotal evidence here, but out of three siblings, my father and his sister who lived throughout their lives in Cardiff had dementia, and their elder sister who is nearing 90 now and lived most of her life in a rural location did not. I think there's something in it, Jenny, in the link with air pollution, and it's something that needs to be looked into. Again, respite should not be dependent on the kindness of individuals or the work of some organisations; we need a national approach. Peredur said that the situation will only be getting worse. It's true. We need to do things right now. Adam Price, who also comes to this from a personal perspective, put a free national social care system at the heart of the Plaid Cymru manifesto. I hope other parties will do the same. That is what we need. Altaf Hussain again mentioned the need for research, and the need for quality of life. Dementia should not signal the end of a good-quality life. People can still have a good life with dementia. Jane Dodds paid tribute to the carers who assisted her parents. I can also attest to that, Jane. The work that they've done, especially during this pandemic, has been absolutely incredible, and they need to be valued so much more. You mentioned loneliness, and that is so true of the sufferer and also the unpaid carer - the wife, or the husband, or the child. They often feel lonely, they often feel, as Sioned mentioned, vulnerable without any support. Mark Isherwood, in his helpful intervention, again mentioned good practice in other locations, but that's not good enough, is it? It's not good enough. Delyth mentioned the frustration and the loneliness, about not being able to do what they used to do. Yes, I saw that frustration, I experienced that frustration. She mentioned her mother singing; I can well remember my grandmother singing Welsh hymns well into the advancement of her dementia, and reciting like the old lady in Wythnos yng Nghymru Fydd psalm 23,
Welsh: Soniodd Jenny Rathbone am yr angen am fwy o ymchwil - yn yr achos hwn, i lygredd aer a bwyd sothach. Ni allaf ond rhoi tystiolaeth anecdotaidd yma, ond ag yntau yn un o dri, fe gafodd fy nhad a'i chwaer ddementia, a hwythau wedi byw ar hyd eu hoes yng Nghaerdydd, ond ni ddigwyddodd i'w chwaer hŷn sy'n agosáu at 90 yn awr ac sydd wedi byw y rhan fwyaf o'i hoes mewn lleoliad gwledig. Credaf fod rhywbeth yn hynny, Jenny, yn y cyswllt â llygredd aer, ac mae'n rhywbeth y mae angen ymchwilio iddo. Unwaith eto, ni ddylai seibiant fod yn ddibynnol ar garedigrwydd unigolion na gwaith rhai sefydliadau; mae arnom angen dull gweithredu cenedlaethol. Dywedodd Peredur mai gwaethygu a wnaiff y sefyllfa. Mae'n wir. Mae angen inni wneud pethau yn awr. Fe wnaeth Adam Price, sydd hefyd yn dod at hyn o safbwynt personol, osod system gofal cymdeithasol genedlaethol am ddim wrth wraidd maniffesto Plaid Cymru. Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd pleidiau eraill yn gwneud yr un peth. Dyna sydd ei angen arnom. Soniodd Altaf Hussain unwaith eto am yr angen am ymchwil, a'r angen i sicrhau ansawdd bywyd. Ni ddylai dementia ddynodi diwedd bywyd o ansawdd. Gall pobl ddal i gael bywyd da gyda dementia. Talodd Jane Dodds deyrnged i'r gofalwyr a gynorthwyodd ei rhieni. Gallaf innau hefyd dystio i hynny, Jane. Mae'r gwaith y maent wedi'i wneud, yn enwedig yn ystod y pandemig hwn, wedi bod yn gwbl anhygoel, ac mae angen eu gwerthfawrogi cymaint mwy. Fe sonioch chi am unigrwydd, ac mae hynny mor wir am y dioddefwr a hefyd y gofalwr di-dâl - y wraig, neu'r gŵr, neu'r plentyn. Maent yn aml yn teimlo'n unig, maent yn aml yn teimlo'n fregus heb unrhyw gymorth, fel y nododd Sioned. Soniodd Mark Isherwood unwaith eto, yn ei ymyriad defnyddiol, am arfer da mewn mannau eraill, ond nid yw hynny'n ddigon da. Nid yw'n ddigon da. Soniodd Delyth am y rhwystredigaeth a'r unigrwydd, am fethu gwneud yr hyn yr arferent ei wneud. Do, gwelais y rhwystredigaeth honno, profais y rhwystredigaeth honno. Soniodd am ei mam yn canu; gallaf gofio'n dda am fy mam-gu'n canu emynau Cymraeg ymhell wedi i'w dementia ddatblygu, ac yn adrodd Salm 23 fel yr hen wraig yn Wythnos yng Nghymru Fydd,
