Fy ngobaith, pan gafodd y Ddeddf y Cydsyniad Brenhinol ym mis Mehefin 2020, oedd y gellid ei gweithredu o fewn dwy flynedd. Fodd bynnag, mae’r flwyddyn ddiwethaf hon wedi bod yn gyfnod eithriadol o anodd i bob un ohonom – ac i’r rheini sy'n cynllunio ac yn darparu ein gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, yn ogystal â’r rheini sy’n ddibynnol arnynt, yn fwy nag unrhyw un arall o bosibl. Wynebwyd profiadau cwbl ddigyffelyb ac, ar adegau, efallai ei fod wedi teimlo fel petai’r profiadau hynny wedi mynd â’n holl egni.
My hope, when the Act received Royal Assent in June 2020, was that it could be implemented within two years.  However, this last year has been an incredibly difficult time for us all; potentially no more so than for those who plan, deliver and rely on our health and social care services.  What we have experienced has been truly unparalleled and at times, may have felt all-consuming.
