Rwy’n croesawu’n arbennig yr enghreifftiau cadarnhaol a geir yn yr adroddiadau o brofiadau pobl o’r broses o roi’r ddeddfwriaeth ar waith.  Fodd bynnag, roedd gweithredu’r Ddeddf yn nodi dechrau cyfnod o newid ledled y sector gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru ac mae’n rhaid cynnal a pharhau â'r gwaith hwn.  Mae hyn o’r pwys mwyaf oherwydd yr effaith sylweddol y mae Covid 19 wedi’i chael, ac yn parhau i’w chael, ar ein darpariaeth gofal cymdeithasol ar draws Cymru.  Mae deall yr effaith hon yn hanfodol.  I gyflawni hyn, rwyf wedi gofyn am ymestyn y prosiect gwerthuso am 12 mis er mwyn i ni allu archwilio’r effaith y mae hyn wedi ei chael ar weithredu’r Ddeddf a’r effaith y mae wedi ei chael ar bobl sydd angen gofal a chymorth a gofalwyr di-dâl sydd angen cefnogaeth.
I particularly welcome the positive examples of people’s experiences of the implementation of the legislation which are included within the reports; however, the implementation of the Act marked the start of a journey of change across the whole of the social care sector in Wales, and this work must be maintained and continue.   This is critical due to the significant impact that Covid 19 has had and continues to have on our social care provision across Wales.  Understanding this impact is vital.  In order to achieve this, I have asked that the evaluation project is extended by 12 months so that we explore the impact this has had on the implementation of the Act and the impact that it has had on people who need care and support and unpaid carers who need support.
