Wrth i ganlyniadau’r holl asesiadau annibynnol gael eu cadarnhau, hoffwn atgoffa’r Aelodau y bydd cost yr asesiadau gofal annibynnol, ac unrhyw ofal cymdeithasol y gellid nodi ei fod yn angenrheidiol yn sgil cynnal yr asesiadau hyn, yn cael ei hysgwyddo gan Lywodraeth Cymru. O ganlyniad, ni fydd gofal a chymorth unigolion yn cael eu newid fel mesur i dorri costau. Sicrhau bod y canlyniadau a geir yn deg ac yn gyson ac yn cefnogi’r canlyniadau llesiant y cytunwyd arnynt ar gyfer unigolion yw’r egwyddor sylfaenol i fy null gweithredu.
As the outcomes across the span of independent assessments are confirmed, I would remind Members that the cost of the independent care assessments, and any additional social care that might be identified from them, will be met by the Welsh Government. This is so that there can be no question of changes being made to people’s care and support as a cost cutting measure. The under-pinning principle of my approach is to ensure that outcomes reached are fair and consistent with supporting people’s agreed wellbeing outcomes.
