Mae’r Dirprwy Weinidog wedi paratoi datganiad ysgrifenedig ar hynt y gwaith o ddatblygu trefniadau diogelu ac amddiffyn i’w gweithredu drwy’r Bil. Mae’r Bil yn ceisio chwalu rhwystrau artiffisial sy’n seiliedig ar oed, ac yn cyflwyno’r cysyniad ehangach o fodel yn seiliedig ar bobl. Yng nghyd-destun diogelu, bydd hyn i’w weld yn fwyaf amlwg yn sgil sefydlu Bwrdd Diogelu Annibynnol Cenedlaethol ar gyfer plant ac oedolion fel ei gilydd, wedi i’r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol graffu arno a’i gymeradwyo. Rwyf o blaid symud ymlaen fel hyn ac rwy’n bwriadu gweithredu mewn modd tebyg yn fy natganiadau Gweinidogol pellach, a fydd yn mynd i’r afael â chyfrifoldebau diogelu’r GIG ar gyfer plant ac ar gyfer oedolion y bernir eu bod mewn perygl.
The Deputy Minister has made a written statement on the progress in developing safeguarding and protection arrangements for implementation through the Bill. The Bill seeks to break down artificial barriers based on age, and introduces the broader concept of a people model. In a safeguarding context, this will be most obvious to see with the establishment, subject to scrutiny and the approval by the National Assembly of a National Independent Safeguarding Board, covering both adults and children. I support this approach and intend to adopt a similar one in my Ministerial statements which, in future, will address the safeguarding responsibilities of the NHS of not only children, but also adults who are considered to be at risk.
