Mae'r Datganiad yn tynnu sylw at yr hawliau sydd eisoes gan bobl hŷn dan y gyfraith fel Deddf Hawliau Dynol 1998 a Deddf Cydraddoldeb 2010. Mae'r Datganiad yn glir iawn ynghylch beth sy'n ddisgwyliedig gan wasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru i sicrhau bod pobl hŷn yn cael y cymorth a'r gwasanaethau sydd eu hangen arnynt, gan amddiffyn eu hurddas a'u hawliau.
This Declaration brings to life the existing rights that older people already have in law such as the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Equality Act 2010. The Declaration is very clear about what is expected of public services in Wales to ensure older people receive the support and services that they need, whilst their dignity and rights are protected.
