Yn ogystal â chanran uwch o gyflyrau iechyd sy’n bodoli eisoes, rydyn ni’n gwybod bod pobl sy’n ddigartref yn llai tebygol o fod wedi’u cofrestru â gwasanaethau iechyd ac y gallen nhw felly fod wedi methu’r cyfle i gael eu brechu. Mae’r dull gweithredu cynhwysol sy’n cael ei gyhoeddi heddiw yn golygu y bydd gwasanaethau cyhoeddus a darparwyr cymorth yn cael eu grymuso i sicrhau na fydd pobl sy’n cysgu allan na phobl mewn llety argyfwng neu lety â chymorth yn cael eu gadael ar ôl ac y byddan nhw’n cael eu diogelu rhag COVID-19.
As well as the higher prevalence of underlying health conditions, we know that people experiencing homelessness are less likely to be registered with health services and could have missed out on the vaccine. The inclusive approach set out today means that public services and support providers are empowered to ensure that people sleeping rough and in emergency or supported accommodation are not forgotten and get the protection they need from COVID-19.
