Rydym yn ystyried bod y gofynion yng nghyswllt Unigolion Cyfrifol yn bwysig iawn. Rydym am iddynt wybod a chysylltu â’r gwasanaethau y maent yn gyfrifol amdanynt, ond rydym hefyd am sicrhau bod ein gofynion yn gymesur.  Oherwydd hyn, mae’r gofyn sy’n ymwneud ag amlder yr ymweliadau â’r gwasanaeth gan yr Unigolyn Cyfrifol wedi’i newid o bob mis i bob tri mis mewn ymateb i adborth i’r ymgynghoriad.  Cafwyd cwestiynau ynghylch i ba raddau y gallai Unigolion Cyfrifol ddirprwyo’r swyddogaeth hon. Rydym wedi cadw at y farn bod yn rhaid i’r unigolyn cyfrifol ymweld yn bersonol, ond rydym wedi diwygio’r rheoliadau er mwyn i’r geiriau ‘rhoi trefniadau addas yn eu lle’ gael eu defnyddio’n gyson er mwyn bod yn glir ynghylch meysydd lle gall yr unigolyn cyfrifol ddirprwyo rhai tasgau i eraill, ond gan gadw’r cyfrifoldeb a’r atebolrwydd cyffredinol o hyd.
We consider that the requirements in relation to Responsible Individuals are very important. We want them to know and engage with the services for which they are responsible, but we also want to ensure that our requirements are proportionate. For this reason, the requirement relating to the frequency of visits by the Responsible Individual to the service has been adjusted from monthly to 3 monthly in response to the consultation feedback.  There were questions about to what extent Responsible Individuals could delegate this function. We have maintained the view that the visit has to be made by the responsible individual in person but have amended the regulations so that the words ‘put suitable arrangements in place’ have been used consistently to provide clarity on areas where the responsible individual can delegate some tasks to others but still retain overall accountability and responsibility.
