Mae’r prosiectau hyn, ynghyd ag eraill, yn cyflawni arloesi oherwydd y £10m a roddwyd i mewn i’r Cronfa Cydweithredu Rhanbarthol i roi hwb i gydweithredu ym maes gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. Mae hyn yn ffordd o fuddsoddi mewn newid sydd â chefnogaeth draws-lywodraethol ac sydd wedi caniatáu i’r awdurdodau lleol gael gafael ar gymorth ariannol yn sail i’w syniadau am newid. Yr her i ni felly yw defnyddio mentrau o’r fath gan gynnwys Buddsoddi i Arbed (sy’n arian ysgogi sy’n sail i arloesi a gweddnewid), fel sbardun i ymchwilio i ddulliau newydd o gyflenwi gwasanaethau.  Gwyddom eisoes er enghraifft fod prosiectau Buddsoddi i Arbed ym maes iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yn elwa ar fuddsoddiad o £13.2 miliwn.
These projects, along with others, are delivering innovation due to the £10m put into the Regional Collaboration Fund to drive public service collaboration. This is a way of investing in change that has cross government support and which has allowed local authorities to access financial support to underpin their ideas for change. Our challenge therefore is to use such initiatives, including Invest to Save (which is pump-priming funding to underpin innovation and transformation), as catalysts to exploring new approaches to service delivery. We know already for example that health and social care joint working Invest to Save projects are benefitting from £13.2m investment.
