Wrth wneud penderfyniadau am lefel y cyllid ar gyfer llywodraeth leol, rwyf wedi ymateb i'r angen i gefnogi gwasanaethau rheng flaen allweddol. Rwyf wedi cynnwys cyllid i alluogi awdurdodau i barhau i dalu'r costau ychwanegol a fydd yn deillio o gyflwyno'r Cyflog Byw Gwirioneddol i weithwyr gofal ac i gefnogi pwysau ym myd yr addysg. Rwyf wedi gwneud y penderfyniad eto i ddarparu'r holl gyllid sydd ar gael ymlaen llaw. Nid wyf wedi dal cyllid yn ôl ar gyfer cydnabyddiaeth yn ystod y flwyddyn o gytundeb cyflog yr athrawon 2023/24 a bydd rhaid i’r awdurdodau felly wneud rhagdybiaethau doeth fel rhan o'u cynllunio cyllideb ar hyn yn ogystal ag ar gyfer eu staff eraill. Mae trafodaethau’n parhau gydag Undebau’r Athrawon ynghylch cytuno ar drafodaethau cyflog blwyddyn academaidd 2022/2023 a byddaf yn parhau i drafod goblygiadau hyn i lywodraeth leol ar gyfer y flwyddyn ariannol 2023-2024 gyda’r CLlLC.
In making decisions about the level of funding for local government I have responded to the need to support key front-line services. I have included funding to enable authorities to continue to meet the additional costs of introducing the Real Living Wage for care workers and to support pressures in education. I have again taken the decision to provide all the available funding up front.  I have not held back funding for in-year recognition of the 2023/24 teachers’ pay deal and authorities must therefore make prudent assumptions as part of their budget planning on this as well as for their other staff. Discussions are continuing with the Teaching Unions over agreement on the 2022/2023 academic year pay negotiations and I will continue to discuss with the WLGA the implications of this for local government for the financial year 2023-24.
