Yng Nghynhadledd ADSSC ar 27 Mehefin Cyhoeddais y caiff £1.5m o’r gyllideb Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol Cynaliadwy ei ddosbarthu yn uniongyrchol i’r awdurdodau lleol y flwyddyn ariannol hon.  Caiff yr arian hwn ei neilltuo a’i ddefnyddio i gefnogi meithrin gallu ar lefel leol, ac mae’r awdurdodau lleol a’u  partneriaid wedi’i gwneud yn glir y byddent yn croesawu hyn.  Mae’n ychwanegol at y cyllid a roddwyd eisoes i’r Asiantaeth Gwella Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (SSIA) i ddatblygu gweithredu Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol Cynaliadwy gan lywodraeth leol. Mae trafodaethau pellach â CLlLC ac ADSS Cymru ynghylch ar y mecanweithiau mwyaf priodol ar gyfer dosbarthu’r arian yn digwydd, ond rwyf yn disgwyl i hyn fod ar ffurf cynllun grant wedi’i dargedu gan ddefnyddio ôl troed gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn sylfaen.
I announced at the ADSS Cymru Conference on 27 June that £1.5m from the Sustainable Social Services budget will be distributed directly to local authorities this financial year.  This funding will be ring fenced and used to support capacity building at a local level, something that local authorities and their partners have been clear that they would welcome.  It is in addition to the funding already provided to the Social Services Improvement Agency (SSIA) for the development of local government implementation of Sustainable Social Services.  Further discussion with WLGA and ADSS Cymru on the most appropriate mechanisms for distribution is underway, but I expect this to take the form of a targeted grant scheme using the public services footprint as a basis.
