Mae hosbisau'n ganolog i'r dull gweithredu hwn ac rydym yn cydnabod eu cyfraniad enfawr at ofal diwedd oes a'r cymorth y maent yn ei ddarparu i gleifion, teuluoedd a gofalwyr. Gwyddom fod y pandemig wedi eu bwrw'n arbennig o galed gan fod eu gallu i godi arian wedi gostwng yn sylweddol oherwydd  gyfyngiadau Covid-19 megis y gwaharddiad ar gynulliadau torfol a chau siopau manwerthu. Dyna pam yr ydym wedi dyrannu £9.3m o gyllid brys i hosbisau dros y 12 mis diwethaf i ddiogelu eu gwasanaethau clinigol craidd ac i gryfhau cymorth profedigaeth.
Hospices are central to this approach and we recognise the enormous contribution that they make to end of life care and the support they provide to patients, families and carers. We know that the pandemic has hit them particularly hard as their ability to fund raise has been significantly reduced through Covid-19 restrictions such as the ban on mass gatherings and the closure of retail outlets. This is why we have allocated £9.3m of emergency funding to hospices over the last 12 months to protect their core clinical services and to strengthen bereavement support.
