Mae penderfyniadau gwariant anodd yn wynebu Llywodraeth Cymru unwaith eto.  Mae gennym flaenoriaethau sy’n cystadlu â’i gilydd a dewisiadau anodd i’w gwneud.  Mae’r gyllideb sydd ar gael ar gyfer y Gronfa wedi cwympo at bwynt lle nad yw bellach yn cael fawr o effaith.  Gwaetha’r modd felly, rwyf wedi penderfynu y bydd y Gronfa’n cau ar 31 Mawrth 2017.
This year the Welsh Government is once again faced with difficult spending decisions against a background of competing strategic priorities, and hard choices have had to be made.  The budget available to the Fund has now dropped to the point where its impact has become limited.  Regrettably, therefore, I have made the decision to close the Fund with effect from 31 March 2017.
