Hoffwn atgoffa'r Aelodau y bydd costau'r asesiadau gofal annibynnol hyn, ac unrhyw gymorth ychwanegol sy'n codi ohonynt, yn cael eu talu gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Mae hynny er mwyn sicrhau nad oes unrhyw gwestiwn o wneud newidiadau i becyn gofal a chymorth er mwyn torri costau. Egwyddor sylfaenol y trefniant hwn yw sicrhau bod y canlyniadau yn y pen draw yn gyson â’r canlyniadau llesiant a gytunwyd ar gyfer yr unigolion.
I would remind Members that the cost of these independent care assessments, and any additional support for people that might be identified from them, will be met by the Welsh Government. This is so that there can be no question of changes being made to people’s care and support as a cost cutting measure. The under-pinning principle of my approach is to ensure that outcomes reached are consistent with supporting people’s agreed wellbeing outcomes.
