Heb gyllid ychwanegol gan Lywodraeth y DU, nid ydym mewn sefyllfa i allu cynnig dyfarniad cyflog uwch ar hyn o bryd. Pan wnaethom osod ein cyllideb ar gyfer 2023-24, gwnaethom ddefnyddio ein holl adnoddau oedd ar gael er mwyn diogelu gwasanaethau rheng flaen, a darparu cymorth costau byw wedi’i dargedu at gefnogi unigolion a’r economi. Er hyd yn oed ar ôl gwneud hynny i gyd, roedd ein sefyllfa ariannol ar ôl Cyllideb y Gwanwyn ar gyfer y DU ym mis Mawrth hyd at £900 miliwn yn is mewn termau real na phan gafodd y gyllideb honno ei gosod gan Lywodraeth y DU ar adeg yr adolygiad o wariant diwethaf yn 2021. Dyma’r sefyllfa ariannol anoddaf rydym wedi’i hwynebu ers datganoli. Er gwaethaf ein hymdrechion gorau, nid ydym ychwaith wedi derbyn unrhyw gyllid canlyniadol nac unrhyw awgrym y bydd cyllid canlyniadol ar gael inni gan Lywodraeth y DU yn sgil y dyfarniadau cyflog y maen nhw wedi’u rhoi i staff y GIG yn Lloegr.
Without additional funding from UK government we are not currently in a position to make a higher offer. When we set our budget for 2023-24, we drew on all our available resources to protect frontline services and provide targeted cost-of-living support to individuals and the economy. But even after doing all that, our financial position after the UK Spring Budget in March, was up to £900 million lower in real terms than when that budget was set by the UK government at the time of the last spending review in 2021. This is the toughest financial situation we have faced since devolution. Despite best efforts we have also not received any consequentials nor had any indication that consequentials will be forthcoming from UK government as a result of the pay awards they have made to NHS staff in England.
