Rydym hefyd wedi cryfhau’r darpariaethau sy’n ymwneud â threfniadau pontio i blentyn a fydd yn dechrau derbyn gofal iechyd parhaus wrth iddo gyrraedd 18 oed. Mae hyn yn gydnaws â’r cynigion yn y fframwaith newydd ar gyfer darparu gofal parhaus i blant a phobl ifanc. Mae hynny’n golygu bod angen darparu pecyn cymorth cyson sydd wedi ei gynllunio a’i gytuno â’r person ifanc a’i ofalwr. Ni ddylid aros nes i’r unigolyn gyrraedd 14 oed, ond dylid dechrau cyn gynted â bod yr angen yn cael ei nodi, neu pan fo problemau’n codi a fydd yn golygu y bydd angen gofal parhaus wedi’r oedran hwnnw.
We have also reinforced provisions around transitional arrangements for a child entering Adult CHC at the age of 18. This aligns with the proposals in the new Children and Young Person’s Continuing Care Framework. This requires a consistent package of support, jointly designed and agreed by the young person and their carer. It should start, not just at 14, but as soon as possible where the need is already identified or if problems emerge that will require ongoing care, after this age.
