Fel y dywedais cyn hyn wrth yr aelodau, er mwyn bwrw ymlaen â’r gwaith hwn penodais grŵp bychan o arbenigwyr allanol ar lefel uchel. Mae’r grŵp hwn wedi gweithio fel cyfaill beirniadol a seinfwrdd wrth i fanylion y model cenedlaethol gael eu datblygu. Ychwanegwyd at waith y grŵp hwn  drwy dynnu ar arbenigedd awdurdodau lleol a’u consortia er mwyn dwyn ynghyd weithgor â chynrychiolaeth ehangach a fu’n gyfrifol am fanylion y gwaith o ddatblygu’r Model Cenedlaethol.
As I previously informed members, in order to progress this work I appointed a small high level group of external experts.  This group has acted as a critical friend and sounding board as the detail of the national model has been developed.  The work of this group was supplemented by drawing on expertise in local authorities and their consortia to pull together a larger representative working group which took forward the detailed work of developing the National Model.
