Dadl Plaid Cymru: Tlodi Plant
Diolch yn fawr, Lywydd. Rwyf am ddiolch i Blaid Cymru am gyflwyno'r ddadl hon ar y pwnc hynod bwysig hwn, yn enwedig yng nghanol argyfwng costau byw, a fydd, rydym i gyd yn ofni, yn gwthio cyfraddau tlodi plant yma ac ar draws y DU hyd yn oed yn uwch. Lywydd…

Dadl ar Adroddiad y Pwyllgor Cydraddoldeb a Chyfiawnder Cymdeithaso—'Trais ar sail rhywedd: Anghenion menywod mudol'
Ni all Cymru, ac ni fydd, yn cadw'n dawel ynghylch camdriniaeth, a dyna pam fod yr adroddiad a’i argymhellion i'w croesawu i'r fath raddau. Rwy'n falch iawn fod yr adroddiad yn cynnwys y gwaith pwysig ac yn gwneud y cysylltiadau â'n hymrwymiad i Gymru fod yn…

Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Rwy’n ddiolchgar iawn i’r pwyllgor am gynnal yr ymchwiliad hwn ar drais ar sail rhywedd sy’n cael effaith ar fenywod mudol, a diolch i bawb a roddodd dystiolaeth, ond yn enwedig y rheini a rannodd eu profiadau bywyd, a’r gwasanaethau…

Thank you very much, and I also undertake to get to you a summary of the Cordis Bright evaluation, hopefully in time for your concluding work on this inquiry.

Well, that is shocking feedback that you had from that visit, from that evidence you took in Styal. When I heard about it, and it came, obviously, in response to my oral statement, I asked for it to looked at. This should not be happening. It is the…

Diolch yn fawr. I think another work stream of that's going on—. I've mentioned the Llamau and Glyndŵr work is looking at those issues, because it's looking at all of the needs that will come: health needs, including access to substance misuse services…

Well, again, we are funding the Visiting Mum scheme, alongside the UK Government. We need to—. And this is going to be—. There are, again, huge budget pressures and priorities that we face. We want to take responsibility by providing this funding, but we…

Diolch yn fawr, Jane. Well, I think in my written evidence I did give a section on support for women and their children, particularly focusing on the Visiting Mum service, which again the Welsh Government is funding—the Prison Advice and Care Trust Visiting…

Can I just quickly say that I wanted to mention earlier on that I was meeting the prisons Minister tomorrow and that I'll also raise with him the issue about the funding that Sarah raised, about the funding of the women's centre? And I'll raise the issue…

Well, again, I think this shows the difficulties about not being responsible for all the services that affect Welsh women. We would rather they weren't in an English prison and that they were here in Wales and that we were providing for their needs. So, as…

Well, this is something that is very much shared with my colleague Julie Morgan, the Deputy Minister for Social Services. In fact, last year we visited Hillside together. We've visited Hillside on more than one occasion. And I met with the UK Government…

Thank you. I've given you the figures already of the contacts that have been made with sentencers—the 270 contacts and more—and it's a part of the blueprint, it's a work stream of the blueprint that they work with magistrates, and magistrates, of course, are…

Yes. I'm visiting the Eastwood Park women's centre on 19 January with Mick Antoniw, the Counsel General. We're doing a range of joint visits. In fact, he came with me to the women's centre on Thursday, run by Safer Wales, and we're going up to Berwyn and…

It's planned. So, I think the fact that we need to—. This links, to me, very much to the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan', and the fact that justice forms one of the stands of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan', I think, does show that we are, as a Welsh…
