Derbyniwyd ateb ar 15 Mehefin 2017
Gweinidog Iechyd y Cyhoedd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Rebecca Evans): The Welsh Government published the new Autistic Spectrum Disorder Strategic Action Plan in November 2016, along with a Delivery Plan for 2016-2020. This sets out the commitments we are making to improve the lives of people with autism and their parents and carers and the outcomes we want to achieve. We will provide an annual report on the progress we are making, to be published by March 2018.
We are working with our partners to deliver these ambitious actions. I have recently announced a further £7 million to deliver the National Integrated Autism Service across Wales by 2018, a year earlier than planned. We are already making good progress in achieving the outcomes we all want to see. For example, the Autistic Spectrum Disorder Implementation Advisory Group met for the first time in March, we have established neurodevelopmental assessment waiting time targets for children and young people and continue to roll out our Learning with Autism programme. We are developing new resources for professionals and for people with autism and their parents and carers, which are freely available on the ASDinfowales website.
The New Integrated Autism Service is now available in Powys and will open in Cardiff and Vale, Cwm Taf and Gwent in the coming months. Our additional investment brings a total of £13 million of funding for the service up to 2021. The new service will be rolled out to all regions in Wales by 2018. We have commissioned an independent evaluation of the implementation of the service.
At the planned plenary debate on autism on 14th June I will make a statement regarding the Welsh Government's position on the autism legislation in Wales.
Gofyn i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig
Darren Millar (Gorllewin Clwyd): Pa asesiad y mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi'i wneud o effaith cyfyngu ar ddefnyddio neonics ar bwysau cnydau o ran ffermwyr tir âr yng Nghymru? (WAQ73638)
Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig (Lesley Griffiths): The overall impact relating to the withdrawal of three neonicotinoid products is deemed to be low for arable crops and their yields in Wales. Oil seed rape (OSR) is the crop most likely to be affected by the restrictions. OSR accounts for approximately 2% of the total Welsh cropped area. Some concerns remain about the control of Turnip Yellow Virus damage in OSR as the industry is reliant on a limited range of products and modes of action for treatment of this pathogen. Low impact is also expected on pest control in linseed, spring cereals, pulses, soft fruit and top fruit as use of imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam neonicotinoids was very low in Wales prior to withdrawal and alternatives for control are available.
Darren Millar (Gorllewin Clwyd): Pa ystyriaeth y mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi'i roi i godi'r cyfyngiadau ar ddefnyddio neonics fel plaladdwyr, gan gynnwys ar ôl gadael yr UE? (WAQ73639)
Derbyniwyd ateb ar 15 Mehefin 2017
Lesley Griffiths: I support the European Commission decision taken in 2013 to impose restrictions on neonicotinoids. As a result, three neonicotinoids (clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam) are not permitted for use on a wide range of crops "attractive to bees", including oil seed rape, maize and spring cereals.
The European Food Safety Authority is reviewing the effects on bees from seed treatment and granule uses of the restricted neonicotinoids on any crop. This review will take into account any new data from studies, research and monitoring which has been published since the ban was introduced in 2013 and is expected to be completed by the autumn of 2017. No consideration will be given to the lifting of any restrictions prior to the publication of this review.
