Ni fydd y cyhoeddiad diweddaraf hwn yn cael unrhyw effaith ar unwaith ar y ddarpariaeth ofal nac ar weithrediad cartrefi gofal. Mae Southern Cross yn parhau mewn busnes a bydd yn parhau i redeg pob un o’i gartrefi gofal hyd nes y bydd trosglwyddiadau i weithredwyr newydd wedi digwydd. Deallwn y disgwylir i’r broses hon fod wedi’i chwblhau erbyn diwedd mis Hydref.  Mewn trafodaethau â’r cwmni, pwysleisiwyd y dylai pob un o’r partïon amlinellu eu cynlluniau mor gyflym â phosibl, er mwyn rhoi sicrwydd i breswylwyr a’u teuluoedd. Bydd y cwmni’n rhyddhau adroddiadau cynnydd wrth i’r trefniadau hyn gael eu cwblhau. Hysbyswyd ni y bydd trosglwyddo cartrefi gofal Southern Cross i ddwylo gweithredwyr gofal eraill yn broses a fydd yn cael ei rheoli, gan sicrhau dilyniant mewn gofal i breswylwyr. Mae Southern Cross wedi tynnu ei rybudd diswyddo statudol yn ôl, gan wneud ymrwymiad i staff cartrefi gofal y byddant yn trosglwyddo i ddwylo gweithredwyr newydd ar eu telerau presennol.
This latest announcement made has no immediate effect on the provision of care or the operation of care homes. Southern Cross remains in business and will continue to operate all its care homes until transfers to new operators have taken place. We understand that this process is expected to be completed by the end of October. Discussions with the company have emphasised that all parties should set out their plans as swiftly as possible, so as to offer reassurance to residents and families. As these arrangements are finalised progress reports will be issued by the company. We are informed that the transfer of Southern Cross care homes to alternative care operators will be a managed process that ensures continuity of care for residents. Southern Cross has withdrawn its statutory redundancy notice and given an undertaking to care home staff that they will transfer to new operators on their current terms.
