English: I think Bethan raised a key point about autism transition and it's a long-standing problem - something I've had a lot of casework on, but also it's been raised successively with cross-party autism groups over a number of Assemblies. On that theme, I call for a statement on the Welsh Government's refreshed autism spectrum disorder strategic action plan and the proposals for a national autism service for Wales. These were launched on a Friday only a couple of weeks before the last Assembly went into dissolution, and this Assembly hasn't yet had an opportunity to discuss or scrutinise the draft or the consultation that it launched. Whilst integration of health, employment, education and social services is welcome, there remains concern in the autism community that the lack of statutory backing means that it may not ensure the change that we all want to see for children, adults and their families on the autism spectrum; concern over the £6 million over three years - that's £2 million annually; is that new money or is it simply redirected existing money: we don't know; concern that without adequate funding the timing will slip, and it won't deliver, without statutory backing, the promises it makes; and also concern that people, for instance in north Wales, would not be able to benefit from the services it proposes until the end of 2018. It's also noted that the report that the Welsh Local Government Association is taking forward with Public Health Wales on the new national service is full of 'should's rather than 'must's and that this could still be interpreted differently between different health boards and lack of detail on how health boards would work with local authorities. This Assembly does need to have an opportunity to scrutinise and discuss this key proposal. Secondly, and finally, could I call for a statement on British Sign Language? The Minister might be aware that Scotland has brought forward legislation on this and that Northern Ireland is actually looking very closely also at that Scottish legislation. The Welsh Government's own legislation, the well-being of future generations and the social services and well-being Acts will enforce equality in service provision across public services. Therefore, British Sign Language will be in greater demand for providers to correspond and communicate with British Sign Language users across all services: health, education, social services and otherwise, and also for all venues providing those public services to have communication tools suitable for deaf people. So, in that context - in the context of your own Government's legislation and in the context of developments in Scotland and Northern Ireland on the BSL issue - I would call for a statement.
Welsh: Credaf fod Bethan wedi codi pwynt allweddol ynglŷn â phontio i bobl ag awtistiaeth ac mae'n broblem hirsefydlog - rhywbeth yr wyf wedi cael llawer o waith achos yn ei gylch, ond hefyd mae wedi codi dro ar ôl tro gyda grwpiau awtistiaeth trawsbleidiol dros sawl Cynulliad. Ar y thema honno, galwaf am ddatganiad ynglŷn â chynllun gweithredu strategol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer anhwylderau'r sbectrwm awtistiaeth ar ei newydd wedd a'r cynigion ar gyfer gwasanaeth awtistiaeth cenedlaethol i Gymru. Cafodd y rhain eu lansio ar ddydd Gwener ychydig wythnosau cyn diddymu'r Cynulliad diwethaf, ac nid yw'r Cynulliad hwn wedi cael cyfle eto i drafod y drafft na'r ymgynghoriad a lansiwyd yn ei sgil, nac i graffu arnynt. Er bod integreiddio iechyd, cyflogaeth, addysg a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol i'w groesawu, mae pryder o hyd yn y gymuned awtistiaeth fod y diffyg cefnogaeth statudol yn golygu efallai na fydd yn sicrhau'r newid yr ydym i gyd am ei weld ar gyfer plant, oedolion a'u teuluoedd ar y sbectrwm awtistiaeth; pryder ynghylch y £6 miliwn dros dair blynedd - mae hynny'n £2 filiwn bob blwyddyn; ai arian newydd ydyw ynteu arian sy'n bodoli eisoes ac sy'n cael ei ailgyfeirio: nid ydym yn gwybod; pryder y bydd yr amseru'n llithro heb gyllid digonol, ac na fydd yn cyflawni, heb gefnogaeth statudol, yr addewidion y mae'n eu gwneud; a phryder hefyd na fyddai pobl, er enghraifft yn y gogledd, yn gallu elwa ar y gwasanaethau y mae'n eu cynnig tan ddiwedd 2018. Nodir hefyd fod yr adroddiad y mae Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru'n bwrw ymlaen ag ef gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru ynglŷn â'r gwasanaeth cenedlaethol newydd yn llawn 'dylai' yn hytrach na 'rhaid' ac y gallai hyn barhau i gael ei ddehongli'n wahanol rhwng byrddau iechyd gwahanol a diffyg manylion ynglŷn â sut y byddai byrddau iechyd yn gweithio gydag awdurdodau lleol. Mae angen rhoi cyfle i'r Cynulliad graffu ar y cynnig allweddol hwn a'i drafod. Yn ail, ac yn olaf, a gaf i alw am ddatganiad ar Iaith Arwyddion Prydain? Efallai y bydd y Gweinidog yn gwybod bod yr Alban wedi cyflwyno deddfwriaeth ar hyn, a bod Gogledd Iwerddon hefyd yn edrych yn agos iawn ar y ddeddfwriaeth honno yn yr Alban. Bydd deddfwriaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, deddf llesiant cenedlaethau'r dyfodol a'r ddeddf gwasanaethau cymdeithasol a llesiant, yn gorfodi cydraddoldeb o ran darparu gwasanaethau ar draws y gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. Felly, bydd mwy o alw am Iaith Arwyddion Prydain er mwyn i ddarparwyr allu gohebu a chyfathrebu â defnyddwyr Iaith Arwyddion Prydain ar draws pob gwasanaeth: iechyd, addysg, gwasanaethau cymdeithasol ac fel arall, a hefyd sicrhau bod offer cyfathrebu sy'n addas i bobl fyddar ar gael ym mhob lleoliad sy'n darparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. Felly, yn y cyd-destun hwnnw - yng nghyd-destun deddfwriaeth eich Llywodraeth chi eich hun ac yng nghyd-destun y datblygiadau yn yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon o ran Iaith Arwyddion Prydain - galwaf am ddatganiad.
