To expand access to AEDs (Defibrillators) in Public Spaces
AEDs should be readily accessible in every community and public space, as it is life saving equipment that could be needed at a moments notice. Plaid Ifanc calls for AED installation to be mandatory in every community space, including sports facilities, places of worship, shopping centres, industrial estates, social clubs and public transport centres. We call for the Senedd and UK Parliament to adopt the same policy, and to increase education and awareness on the subject, including how to help someone suffering from a cardiac event in a public space.
To increase the remit of the NHS to fully include dental and optometric treatment
Dental and Optometric treatment is currently not a part of the NHS, and as such is a vital, but expensive, medical practice. We believe that these should be included in Plaid Cymru’s Health and Social Care Service, and to push for the Welsh Government to do the same. This coverage should scrap all NHS charges on non-cosmetic treatments including check-ups and preventative treatment, and for a price cap to be included on all treatments not freely available under the NHS.
Sanitary Products
Plaid Ifanc believe that Sanitary Products are a vital item, and as such should be easily accessible to everybody. We call for schools, and public spaces to have a ready supply of these products, as they could be needed at any moment, and are incredibly expensive products.
Decriminalisation of Drugs
Plaid Ifanc believes that drug addiction is a serious issue that should be treated as a health crisis, and not a justice issue. We call for the decriminalisation of drugs, a cleanse of the criminal records of those convicted of drug possession with no aggravating features, and an increase in support for those struggling with addiction.
Young Carers
We in Plaid Ifanc give our support to, and commend, all Young Carers here in Wales, and believe that this should be reflected on by the Welsh Government.
Mental Health
Wales is suffering from a Mental Health Crisis, which is further worsened by the Pandemic. We believe that more support should be given to the NHS mental health services, which are stretched incredibly thin, and that further education and support should be given to the Young People of Wales on the issue.
Ehangu mynediad i AEDs (Diffibrilwyr) mewn Mannau Cyhoeddus
Dylai AEDs fod ar gael yn rhwydd ym mhob cymuned a man cyhoeddus, gan mai offer achub bywyd y gellid ei angen ar rybudd o eiliadau. Mae Plaid Ifanc yn galw am osod AED yn orfodol ym mhob man cymunedol, gan gynnwys cyfleusterau chwaraeon, addoldai, canolfannau siopa, ystadau diwydiannol, clybiau cymdeithasol a chanolfannau trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus. Rydym yn galw ar i'r Senedd a Senedd y DU fabwysiadu'r un polisi, a chynyddu addysg ac ymwybyddiaeth am y pwnc, gan gynnwys sut i helpu rhywun sy'n dioddef o ddigwyddiad cardiaidd mewn man cyhoeddus.
Cynyddu cylch gwaith y GIG i gynnwys triniaeth ddeintyddol ac optometrig yn llawn
Nid yw triniaeth ddeintyddol ac optometrig yn rhan o'r GIG ar hyn o bryd, ac felly mae'n ymarfer meddygol hanfodol, ond drud. Credwn y dylid cynnwys y rhain yng Ngwasanaeth Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol Plaid Cymru, ac i bwyso ar Lywodraeth Cymru i wneud yr un peth. Dylai'r ddarpariaeth hon gael gwared ar holl daliadau'r GIG ar driniaethau nad ydynt yn gosmetig, gan gynnwys archwiliadau a thriniaeth ataliol, ac i derfyn prisiau gael ei gynnwys ar bob triniaeth nad yw ar gael yn rhwydd o dan y GIG.
Cynhyrchion Glanweithdra
Mae Plaid Ifanc yn credu bod Cynnyrch Glanweithiol yn eitem hanfodol, ac felly dylai fod ar gael yn hawdd i bawb. Rydym yn galw ar ysgolion, a mannau cyhoeddus i gael cyflenwad parod o'r cynhyrchion hyn, gan y gallai fod eu hangen ar unrhyw adeg, ac maent yn gynhyrchion hynod o ddrud.
Dad-droseddoli cyffuriau
Mae Plaid Ifanc yn credu bod caethiwed i gyffuriau yn fater difrifol y dylid ei drin fel argyfwng iechyd, ac nid mater cyfiawnder. Rydym yn galw am ddad-droseddoli cyffuriau, glanhau cofnodion troseddol y rhai a gafwyd yn euog o feddu ar gyffuriau heb unrhyw nodweddion gwaethygol, a chynnydd yn y gefnogaeth i'r rhai sy'n cael trafferth gyda dibyniaeth.
Gofalwyr Ifanc
Rydym ni ym Mhlaid Ifanc yn rhoi ein cefnogaeth i, a'n canmol pob Gofalwr Ifanc yma yng Nghymru, ac yn credu y dylai Llywodraeth Cymru adlewyrchu hyn.
Iechyd Meddwl
Mae Cymru yn dioddef o Argyfwng Iechyd Meddwl, sy'n gwaethygu ymhellach gan y Pandemig. Credwn y dylid rhoi mwy o gymorth i wasanaethau iechyd meddwl y GIG, sydd dan bwysau eithriadol o denau, ac y dylid rhoi addysg bellach a chefnogaeth i bobl ifanc Cymru ar y mater.
