Dangosodd canfyddiadau ymchwil a'r ymatebion i'n hymgynghoriadau blaenorol gysylltiad rhwng amlder contractau dim oriau a gostyngiad yn lefel y gofal, a hynny oherwydd materion ynghylch dilyniant o ran gofal a chymorth, a chyfathrebu rhwng gweithwyr gofal cartref a'r rhai y maent yn eu cefnogi. Fel Llywodraeth Cymru rydym o'r farn bod ansawdd gofal a chymorth yn hollbwysig. Rwyf, felly, wedi achub y cyfle hwn i gyflwyno rheoliad drafft sy'n ceisio dylanwadu ar y defnydd o gontractau dim oriau o fewn gwasanaethau cymorth cartref, er mwyn diogelu ansawdd y gofal a ddarperir.
Research findings and our previous consultation responses also evidenced a link between the prevalence of zero hours contracts and a reduced quality of care, due to issues with continuity of care and support, and with communication between domiciliary care workers and those they support. As a Welsh Government we consider that the quality of care and support is paramount. I have therefore also taken this opportunity to put forward a draft regulation that seeks to influence the use of zero hours contracts within domiciliary support services, so as to safeguard the quality of care provided.
