Rwy’n ddiolchgar am y gwaith y mae ymarferwyr cyffredinol a’u timau wedi’i wneud – ac yn parhau i’w wneud – o ran darparu gwasanaethau hanfodol i bobl Cymru. Oherwydd hynny, a’r pecyn cynhwysfawr ac uchelgeisiol o newidiadau a gytunwyd, mae’r trefniadau cyllid canlynol hefyd wedi’u cytuno:Codiad o 4.5% i elfen tâl ymarferwyr cyffredinol y contract, gan fodloni argymhelliad y Corff Adolygu Meddygon a Deintyddion ar dâl yn llawn.Buddsoddiad ychwanegol o £7.5m i ariannu codiad cymesur o 4.5% i’r holl staff sy’n gweithio mewn practisau cyffredinol. Bydd hwn yn ofyniad contractiol eto eleni ac o ganlyniad bydd holl staff presennol y Gwasanaethau Meddygol Cyffredinol yn cael codiad o 4.5% i’w tâl gros.Dyfarniad pellach o £2.7m i gefnogi practisau gyda’u costau busnes parhaus.
I am grateful for the role GPs and their teams have played – and continue to play – in the delivery of crucial services for people in Wales. Given that, and the comprehensive and ambitious package of agreed changes, the following funding arrangements have also been agreed:An uplift of 4.5% to the GP pay element of the contract, fully meeting the DDRB recommendation on pay.An additional £7.5m investment to fund a commensurate 4.5% pay uplift for all staff working within general practice. This will again be a contractual requirement for this year and will see all existing staff working in GMS receiving a 4.5% uplift to their gross pay.A further £2.7m award to support practices with ongoing business expenses.
