Yr wythnos hon cyhoeddais grynodeb o’r ymatebion i’r ymgynghoriad ar Fil Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Cymru) a gynhaliwyd yn ystod y gwanwyn a dechrau’r haf. Bydd yr Aelodau eisoes yn gwybod, yn sgil fy natganiad ym mis Mehefin, fod dros 500 o bobl wedi cymryd rhan mewn amrywiaeth o ddigwyddiadau cyhoeddus ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys grwpiau agored i niwed fel plant anabl a phlant sy’n derbyn gofal, pobl ifanc sy’n gadael gofal a gofalwyr ifanc. Derbyniwyd rhyw 275 o ymatebion ysgrifenedig i’r ymgynghoriad hefyd, ac mae’r rhain wedi’u dadansoddi. Roedd yr ymateb yn adeiladol dros ben ac roeddwn yn falch o weld fod gwir gefnogaeth i’n cynigion bras i ddiogelu ac amddiffyn. Mae ennyn diddordeb y cyhoedd i’r graddau hyn yn gwbl allweddol i lwyddiant ein cynlluniau.
I have this week published the summary of responses to the consultation on the Social Services (Wales) Bill which took place in the spring and early summer.  Members will already be aware from my statement in June that over 500 people were engaged at a range of public events across Wales, including vulnerable groups such as disabled and looked after children, care leavers and young carers. In addition, some 275 written responses to the consultation were received and have been analysed. The response has been extremely constructive and I have been pleased to find that there is a real consensus for our broad proposals to safeguard and protect. This level of public engagement is absolutely critical to the success of our plans.
