Mae’r aelodau’n ymwybodol fy mod o’r farn y gall y canolbwynt ar fodloni targedau ariannol blynyddol amharu ar ddatblygu a gweithredu cynlluniau tymor canol ar gyfer cynnal a gwella gwasanaethau diogel o safon. Cyhoeddais yn ddiweddar y byddaf yn cyflwyno deddfwriaeth i gynnig mwy o hyblygrwydd i gyrff i reoli eu cyllid dros fwy nag un flwyddyn ariannol. Mae’r ddeddfwriaeth yn cael ei llunio ac ar yr amod y caiff ei chymeradwyo rwyf yn gobeithio rhoi’r newidiadau hyn ar waith ar ddechrau’r flwyddyn ariannol newydd sef Ebrill 2014.
Members are aware that I consider the focus on meeting annual financial targets can be detrimental to the development and implementation of medium term plans for sustaining and enhancing safe and quality services. I announced recently that I will be introducing legislation to provide more flexibility to organisations to manage their finances over more than one financial year. The legislation is being drawn up and subject to its approval I hope to implement these changes at the start of the new financial year i.e. April 2014.
