Rwy’n sylweddoli bod gan rai ymgeiswyr anghenion amrywiol a chymhleth, a dyna oedd y rheswm dros sefydlu’r Gwasanaeth Cynghori Annibynnol ym mis Rhagfyr 2014.  Mae’r gwasanaeth hwn yn cynnwys tîm o therapyddion galwedigaethol i helpu Awdurdodau Lleol i asesu achosion anodd.  Testun siom imi oedd gweld bod hanner yr awdurdodau lleol heb fanteisio ar y gwasanaeth proffesiynol hwn.  Mae’n cael ei ariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru i helpu awdurdodau lleol ac i sicrhau parhad i ymgeiswyr.
I appreciate that some applicants have varying and complex needs and that is why I established the Independent Advisory Service in December 2014. This service consists of a team of occupational therapists, and exists to assist local authorities in the assessment of cases which are difficult to determine. I have been disappointed that half of all local authorities have not taken advantage of this professional service, which has been funded by the Welsh Government to assist local authorities in their duties and provide continuity for applicants.
