Wrth baratoi ar gyfer unrhyw newidiadau yn y dyfodol, gwyddoch ein bod ni eisoes yng Nghymru wedi cyhoeddi Papur Gwyrdd ar dalu am ofal, ac fe wnaethom ni ymgynghori’n eang gydag ystod eang o randdeiliaid ymhob rhan o Gymru i weld pa fath o system a fyddai’n derbyn cefnogaeth eang ymhlith y cyhoedd yma yng Nghymru. Yn fwy diweddar, rwyf wedi ail-sefydlu Grŵp Rhanddeiliaid i Gynghori am Dalu am Ofal, ac wedi gofyn iddo ystyried rhinweddau argymhellion y Comisiwn a pha mor briodol ydynt i Gymru. Mae wrthi’n llunio ei adroddiad ar fy nghyfer, a byddaf yn cyhoeddi hwnnw wedi imi ei dderbyn. Hefyd, yng ngoleuni’r bwriadau y mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi eu datgan ynglŷn â gwneud rhagor o waith ac ymgynghori ar y gwahanol opsiynau sy’n bodoli ar gyfer y math o system ddiwygio y gellid ei chael, byddwn ni hefyd eisiau parhau ac ymestyn y trafod yng Nghymru. O ganlyniad i hynny, buaswn hefyd eisiau sefydlu deialog trawsbleidiol ynglŷn â ffyrdd o ymdrin â’r mater pwysig hwn.
In preparation for any future changes you will know that previously we have issued in Wales a Green Paper on paying for care and undertook extensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders across Wales to find out what kind of system would command broad public support here.  More recently I have re-established the Paying for Care Stakeholder Advisory Group and asked it to consider the merits of the Commission’s recommendations and their appropriateness for Wales. It is currently drafting its report to me and I will publish this once I receive it. Also, in light of the UK Government’s stated intentions to undertake further work and consultation on the various options for the shape a reform system could take, we will also want to continue and extend the engagement in Wales.  As a result I would also want to establish cross party dialogue about how we tackle this important issue.
