English: I thank the Member for the series of comments and questions within. I think there are, essentially, three broad themes there. The first is about communication, and I recognise that there is a challenge about effectively not just communicating to but with people that is common to many of our challenges across health and social care - particularly in this area, though. The second broad challenge, I think, is that a number of the points that you make are about the north Wales service within the examples that you gave. And, of course, the roll-out of the integrated autism service only began this summer within north Wales, so I'd not expect to see a significant consistency to have taken place there yet or a significant story of service improvement that is making a real tangible difference that people feel and can experience themselves in north Wales yet. I think it is right that we judge the success of the service once people have actually taken part in it in significant number. But there are lessons to learn as we look to continue and complete the roll-out of the service. And it is important that we understand when things don't go well. That's part of the whole point about service delivery and improvement. On the discrete issue you raise about diagnosis, I obviously can't deal with it; I'm not able to comment on the particular points that you make. But, if you want to write to me with the detail, then I'm happy to make sure that those matters are properly looked at. The third broad point that runs through your own series of comments and questions is to make the case for legislation, and there is an honest disagreement about this. I would honestly say to him and other proponents of legislation that, if you look at what has happened in England, you cannot plot a chart for both service improvement and outcome improvement for people with autism. So, I think there's a challenge about the suggestion that legislation will cure the challenges that we all recognise across this Chamber that affect people with autism and their families. And I think autistic people are looking for an answer that will practically help to improve their current life and their prospects for the future. And I do think that trying to suggest that the autism community have a single view on this is not borne out by the facts. Autistic people have engaged in the consultation and the conversation thus far and it is not true to say that there is a single or overwhelming view. If you look at where the integrated autism service has rolled-out over a period of time, there are a range of testimonials from staff within the service who believe they are doing a better job and have more time to do a better job, as well indeed as autistic people themselves who have engaged and have been listened to to make sure that their individual needs are properly taken account of. Service redesign is never unanimously supported and I think it's important for all of us who want to see services reformed in any area to recognise that. So, there will of course be criticism - people who don't support what's being done, people who recognise their individual experience isn't good enough - and I don't try to avoid that all, but I really don't accept the rather doomsday pronouncements that the Member makes about what is being done and why. I look forward to further evidence on the roll-out of the integrated autism service, I look forward to people engaging openly and honestly with the suggestions that have been made today and, indeed, the consultation that will come out in November this year.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am y gyfres o sylwadau a'r cwestiynau oddi mewn iddynt. Rwy'n credu, yn y bôn, fod tair thema eang wedi eu cynnwys. Mae'r gyntaf yn ymwneud â chyfathrebu, ac rwy'n cydnabod bod her ynghylch cyfathrebu effeithiol nid yn unig wrth ond gyda phobl, ac mae hyn yn gyffredin i lawer o'r heriau sy'n ein hwynebu ym mhob agwedd ar iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol - yn arbennig yn y maes hwn, fodd bynnag. Yr ail her eang, rwy'n credu, yw bod nifer o'r pwyntiau a wnewch yn yr enghreifftiau a roesoch ynglŷn â'r gwasanaeth yn y gogledd. Ac, wrth gwrs, dim ond yr haf hwn y dechreuwyd cyflwyno gwasanaeth awtistiaeth integredig yn y gogledd, felly ni fyddwn yn disgwyl gweld cysondeb sylweddol eto na hanes sylweddol o wella gwasanaethau sy'n gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol y mae pobl yn ei deimlo ac y gallant ei brofi drostynt eu hunain yn y gogledd eto. Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n briodol inni farnu llwyddiant y gwasanaeth unwaith y bydd nifer sylweddol o bobl mewn gwirionedd wedi cymryd rhan ynddo. Ond mae gwersi i'w dysgu wrth inni edrych i barhau a chwblhau'r broses o gyflwyno'r gwasanaeth. Ac mae'n bwysig ein bod yn deall pan nad yw pethau'n mynd yn dda. Mae hynny'n rhan o hanfod darparu a gwella gwasanaethau. Ar y mater ar wahân a godwch am ddiagnosis, yn amlwg ni allaf ymdrin â hynny; nid wyf yn gallu rhoi sylwadau ar y pwyntiau penodol yr ydych yn eu crybwyll. Ond, os hoffech chi ysgrifennu ataf gyda'r manylion, yna rwy'n hapus i wneud yn siŵr bod y materion hynny yn cael sylw priodol. Y trydydd pwynt eang sy'n rhan o'ch cyfres eich hun o sylwadau a chwestiynau yw'r ddadl o blaid deddfwriaeth, ac mae anghytuno gonest ynghylch hyn. Byddwn yn dweud yn onest wrtho ef ac eraill sy'n cefnogi deddfwriaeth, os edrychwch chi ar yr hyn sydd wedi digwydd yn Lloegr, ni allwch chi lunio siart ar gyfer gwella gwasanaethau a gwella canlyniadau ar gyfer pobl ag awtistiaeth ar yr un pryd. Felly, rwy'n credu bod her ynghylch yr awgrym y bydd deddfwriaeth yn cael gwared ar yr heriau hynny yr ydym ni i gyd yn y Siambr hon yn cydnabod sy'n effeithio ar bobl ag awtistiaeth a'u teuluoedd. A chredaf fod pobl awtistig yn chwilio am ateb a fydd o gymorth ymarferol i wella eu bywyd presennol a'u rhagolygon ar gyfer y dyfodol. Ac nid wyf yn credu bod ceisio awgrymu bod gan y gymuned awtistiaeth yr un safbwynt ar hyn yn gyson â'r ffeithiau. Mae pobl awtistig wedi cymryd rhan yn yr ymgynghoriad a'r sgwrs hyd yma ac mae'n wir i ddweud nad oes un farn unigol neu unfrydedd safbwynt. Os edrychwch chi ar ble mae'r gwasanaeth awtistiaeth integredig wedi'i gyflwyno dros gyfnod o amser, mae yna amrywiaeth o dystiolaeth gan staff o fewn y gwasanaeth sy'n credu eu bod yn gweithio'n well a bod ganddyn nhw fwy o amser i weithio'n well, yn ogystal â phobl awtistig eu hunain sydd wedi cymryd rhan ac wedi cael gwrandawiad i wneud yn siŵr bod eu hanghenion unigol yn cael ystyriaeth briodol. Nid oes cefnogaeth unfrydol byth i ailgynllunio gwasanaethau ac mae'n bwysig bob pob un ohonom ni sydd eisiau gweld diwygio gwasanaethau mewn unrhyw faes yn cydnabod hynny. Felly, wrth gwrs y bydd beirniadaeth - pobl sydd ddim yn cefnogi'r hyn sy'n cael ei wneud, pobl sy'n cydnabod nad yw eu profiad eu hunain yn ddigon da - ac nid wyf yn ceisio osgoi hynny o gwbl, ond nid wyf yn derbyn o gwbl y datganiadau dydd y farn y mae'r Aelod yn eu gwneud ynglŷn â beth sy'n cael ei wneud a pham. Edrychaf ymlaen at dystiolaeth bellach o ran cyflwyno'r gwasanaeth awtistiaeth integredig, ac edrychaf ymlaen at weld pobl yn trin a thrafod yn agored ac yn onest yr awgrymiadau a wnaethpwyd heddiw ac, yn wir, yr ymgynghoriad a gyhoeddir ym mis Tachwedd eleni.
