One consequence of the coronavirus pandemic has been that many more people have needed or chosen to access public services online, and this has already driven the transformation of some digital services.


An example of this has seen Neath Port Talbot Council working with Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen Councils, and supported by the Centre for Digital Public Services, on a project to improve people’s experience of accessing adult social care services online. First\-hand insights from users and social care staff are being used to develop better digital services including improvements to the referral process.


Meanwhile, Caerphilly County Borough Council’s work to use digital automation to process applications for free school meals has resulted in a much speedier process. Working with the private sector, the local authority can now ensure that eligible school children are accepted on to the free school meals programme on the day of their application.


This development has been invaluable during the pandemic when demand for free school meals has surged and as a result many more children have begun receiving healthy and nutritious meals delivered direct to their doorstep.


Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport, Lee Waters has said he wants this £4\.9 million investment in digital public services to drive more innovative and user friendly approaches across Wales.


The funding will be directed to the Centre for Digital Public Services, which was established last year to transform the design and delivery of digital public services.


The investment will support specialised training programmes and digital squads who will work with public sector organisations and help them to drive up their digital knowledge and improve their online services.


This will help ensure that people accessing public service digitally can have an experience that is as easy and user friendly as when they shop or bank online.


The funding is part of Welsh Government’s Digital Strategy for Wales which is being ‘crowdsourced’ to test ideas and gather new suggestions. The strategy will determine how Welsh Government harnesses digital, data, technology and AI now and in the future to benefit people in Wales.


Deputy Minister for Economy, Lee Waters said:



> “Digital is now a central part of all our lives and that has never been more evident than during the pandemic.
> 
> 
> “It is crucial that our public services evolve to meet the changing expectations of the people who need and use them, and that they are as simple to use and intuitive as many of the services we access when we are online shopping or providing our energy meter readings.
> 
> 
> “We want people to be able to easily access the services they want through a few clicks of the mouse or taps of the screen. This means ensuring that first class digital services become the norm in our public services and this investment in skills, leadership and standards will be key to helping us achieve that goal.


Chief Executive of the Centre for Digital Public Services, Sally Meecham said:



> “The Centre for Digital Public Services will support the Welsh public sector to deliver good digital public services that meet the needs of all users. It’s absolutely brilliant to have received this investment and the commitment to continue our work.
> 
> 
> “This will allow us to work with colleagues across the public sector in Wales and our ever\-growing network of partners, suppliers and stakeholders to deliver inclusive and accessible public services and ensure the people that design and deliver the services have the right skills, capability, ambition and support.

Un canlyniad y pandemig yw bod llawer mwy o bobl wedi gorfod neu ddewis defnyddio gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ar\-lein, ac mae hyn eisoes wedi sbarduno proses o drawsnewid gwasanaethau digidol.


Enghraifft o hyn oedd Cyngor Castell\-nedd Port Talbot yn gweithio gyda Cynghorau Blaenau Gwent a Thorfaen, ac wedi’u cynorthwyo gan y Ganolfan Gwasanaethau Digidol, ar brosiect i wella profiad pobl o ddefnyddio gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol i oedolion ar\-lein. Mae profiadau uniongyrchol defnyddwyr a staff gofal cymdeithasol yn cael eu defnyddio i ddatblygu gwasanaethau digidol gwell gan gynnwys gwella’r broses gyfeirio.


Yn y cyfamser, mae gwaith Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Caerffili i ddefnyddio dulliau digidol awtomatig i brosesu ceisiadau am brydau ysgol am ddim wedi arwain at broses llawer cyflymach. Gan weithio gyda’r sector preifat, gall yr awdurdod lleol nawr sicrhau bod plant ysgol sy’n gymwys yn cael eu derbyn ar y rhaglen prydau ysgol am ddim ar ddiwrnod eu cais.


Mae’r datblygiad hwn wedi bod yn hynod werthfawr yn ystod y pandemig pan welwyd cynnydd mawr yn y galw am brydau ysgol am ddim, ac o ganlyniad mae llawer mwy o blant wedi dechrau derbyn prydau iach a maethlon ar garreg y drws.


Dywedodd Lee Waters, Dirprwy Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth ei fod am i’r buddsoddiad hwn o £4\.9 miliwn mewn gwasanaethau cyhoeddus digidol sbarduno dulliau mwy arloesol a hawdd eu defnyddio ledled Cymru.


Caiff y cyllid ei roi i’r Ganolfan Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Digidol, a sefydlwyd llynedd i drawsnewid y cynlluniau a’r dulliau o gyflenwi gwasanaethau cyhoeddus digidol.


Bydd y buddsoddiad yn cefnogi rhaglenni hyfforddi arbenigol a sgwadiau digidol fydd yn gweithio gyda sefydliadau y sector cyhoeddus ac yn eu helpu i wella eu gwybodaeth ddigidol a gwella eu gwasanaethau ar\-lein.


Bydd hyn yn helpu i sicrhau y gall pobl sy’n defnyddio gwasanaeth cyhoeddus yn ddigidol gael profiad sydd mor hawdd i’w ddefnyddio â siopa neu ddefnyddio banc ar\-lein.


Mae’r cyllid yn rhan o Strategaeth Ddigidol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer Cymru sy’n derbyn ‘cyfraniadau torfol’ i brofi syniadau a chasglu awgrymiadau newydd. Bydd y strategaeth yn penderfynu sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn defnyddio adnoddau digidol, data, technoleg a Deallusrwydd Arfiffisial nawr ac yn y dyfodol er budd pobl Cymru.


Meddai Lee Waters, Dirprwy Weinidog yr Economi:



> “Mae adnoddau digidol bellach yn rhan o fywydau pob un ohonom ac ni fu hynny erioed mor amlwg nag yn ystod y pandemig.
> 
> 
> “Mae’n hanfodol bod ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn datblygu i fodloni disgwyliadau heriol y bobl sydd eu hangen ac sy’n eu defnyddio, a’u bod mor syml i’w defnyddio a’u deall â nifer o’r gwasanaethau rydyn ni’n eu defnyddio wrth inni siopa ar\-lein neu ddarparu ein darlleniadau o fesuryddion.
> 
> 
> “Rydyn ni am i bobl allu defnyddio’r gwasanaethau y maent eu heisiau yn hawdd drwy glicio llygoden neu dapio’r sgrîn. Golyga hyn sicrhau gwasanaethau digidol o safon uchel yn ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, a bydd y buddsoddiad mewn sgiliau, arweinyddiaeth a safonau yn allweddol i helpu inni gyrraedd y nod hwnnw.


Meddai Sally Meecham, Prif Weithredwr y Ganolfan Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Digidol:



> “Bydd y Ganolfan Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Digidol yn helpu y sector cyhoeddus yng Nghymru i ddarparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus digidol da sy’n bodloni anghenion pob defnyddiwr. Mae’n wych derbyn y buddsoddiad hwn a’r ymrwymiad i barhau â’n gwaith.
> 
> 
> “Bydd hyn yn caniatáu inni gydweithio gyda gweithwyr ar draws y sector cyhoeddus yng Nghymru a’n rhwydwaith cynyddol o bartneriaid, cyflenwyr a rhanddeiliaid i ddarparu gwasanaethau cynhwysol a hygyrch i’r cyhoedd a sicrhau bod gan y bobl sy’n cynllunio a darparu’r gwasanaethau y sgiliau, y gallu, yr uchelgais a’r gefnogaeth iawn.
