Yn achos y nifer bach o addasiadau mawr a wneir bob blwyddyn, hoffwn dynnu sylw at y canllawiau diwygiedig ar gyfer rhaglen gyfalaf y Gronfa Gofal Integredig (GGI) ar gyfer 2021/22 a gyhoeddais ym mis Ionawr. Fel arfer, dim ond yn yr achosion mwyaf cymhleth y mae gofyn am addasiadau mawr, megis teuluoedd â phlant anabl ac oedolion â chlefyd sy’n cwtogi bywyd. Mae datrys y materion ariannol yn gallu cymryd llawer o amser, gan arwain at drallod sylweddol a pharhaus. O dan ganllawiau diwygiedig y GGI, mae Byrddau Partneriaeth Rhanbarthol yn cael defnyddio eu disgresiwn i gwrdd â chostau ychwanegol addasiadau sy’n costio mwy na £36,000. Byddaf yn monitro’r defnydd a wneir o’r hyblygrwydd hwn dros y flwyddyn nesaf.
In relation to the small number of large adaptations carried out each year, I wish to highlight the amended the guidance for the Integrated Care Fund (ICF) capital programme for 2021/22 which I issued in January. Large adaptations are usually only required in complex cases, such as families with disabled children and adults with life-limiting diseases. Resolving the financial issues can be very time consuming, leading to significant and unnecessary continuing distress. Under the amended ICF guidance, Regional Partnership Boards are now able to use their discretion to meet the additional costs of adaptations which cost more than £36,000. I will be monitoring how much use is made of this flexibility over the coming year.
