Er mwyn llywio penderfyniad heddiw am y trefniadau cymorth, ysgrifennais at bob un o fuddiolwyr y cynllun a gefnogir gan Lywodraeth Cymru ym mis Hydref 2016, i'w gwahodd i gwblhau arolwg a/neu i fynychu gweithdai a gynhaliwyd yn y Gogledd a’r De.  Daeth y broses gydgynhyrchiol hon i ben ar 20 Ionawr ac fe fu’n amhrisiadwy wrth fy helpu i ennill gwell dealltwriaeth o effaith y drasiedi ar fywydau pobl a’r teuluoedd mewn llawer o achosion.  Ochr yn ochr â’r datganiad ysgrifenedig hwn, rwyf yn cyhoeddi crynodeb manwl o'r hyn a glywsom yn ystod yr ymarfer ymgysylltu hwn.  Byddaf hefyd yn ysgrifennu yn bersonol at y buddiolwyr am y trefniadau newydd sy’n cael eu rhoi ar waith i'w cefnogi yn y dyfodol.
To inform today’s decision about the support arrangements, I wrote to all scheme beneficiaries supported by Welsh Government in October 2016, to invite them to complete a survey and/or to attend workshops held in North and South Wales.  This co-productive process finished on 20 January and proved invaluable in helping me gain a deeper understanding of the impact of the tragedy on people’s lives and those of their families in many cases.  Alongside this written statement I am publishing a detailed summary of what we heard during this engagement exercise.  I will also be writing personally to beneficiaries about the new arrangements being put in place to support them in the future.
