Dyma newyddion da i fferyllfeydd a chleifion yng Nghymru.Er na allaf gadarnhau, ar hyn o bryd, lefel y cyllid fydd a gael i fferyllfeydd cymunedol ar ôl 2017-18, fy mwriad yw cynyddu lefel y cyllid ar gael i gefnogi comisiynu gwasanaethau cenedlaethol a lleol gwell gan £2m ychwanegol o leiaf yn 2018-19. Bydd yn caniatáu i’r gwasanaethau hyn â gwerth ychwanegol gael eu comisiynu yn fwy cyson. Er mwyn paratoi ar ei gyfer, bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn darparu cyllid yn 2018-19 a 2019-20 i ddarparu’r cymhwysiad TG Dewis Fferyllfa ym mhob fferyllfa yng Nghymru. Bydd cyllid ar gael hefyd oddi mewn yr holl gyllid contract fferylliaeth gymunedol i gefnogi datblygu gweithlu fferylliaeth gymunedol.
This is good news for pharmacies and patients in Wales. Whilst I am not, at this stage, able to confirm the level of funding available to community pharmacies after 2017-18, it is my intention to increase the level of funding available to support national and local enhanced service commissioning by at least a further £2m in 2018-19. This will allow these additional value added services to be commissioned more consistently. In readiness for this, the Welsh Government will provide funding in 2018-19 and 2019-20 to make the Choose Pharmacy IT application available to all pharmacies in Wales. Funding will also be made available from within the total community pharmacy contract funding to support community pharmacy workforce development.
