Bydd y cynllun ehangach, sy’n cynnig gostyngiadau parcio i bobl sydd ag anableddau, bellach yn cynnig bathodynnau 12 mis dros dro i’r rhai hynny sy’n gwella o driniaeth neu’n aros am driniaeth ar gyfer salwch neu anaf difrifol.   Gallai’r enghreifftiau o hyn gynnwys:

* Person sydd â salwch difrifol ble y gall y driniaeth eu nychu, er enghraifft triniaeth ar gyfer canser;
* Person sydd â nam difrifol o ran defnyddio eu coesau sy’n aros neu wedi cael triniaeth am gymal newydd (e.e. clun, penglin ac ati)

Meddai Ken Skates: 


> “Mae cynllun y Bathodyn Glas yn helpu i roi mynediad i wasanaethau a chyfleusterau i’r rhai hynny sydd â’r angen mwyaf.  Mae’n chwarae rhan hollbwysig wth wella mynediad i waith a gwasanaethau i bobl sydd ag anableddau ledled Cymru.  
> 
> “Hyd yn hyn, mae wedi’i gyfyngu i bobl sydd â namau parhaol, tra bod nifer o bobl sydd ag anafiadau parhaol, dros\-dro yn cael eu hystyried yn anghymwys.   Mae ehangu pwy sy’n gymwys drwy gyflwyno’r bathodynnau dros\-dro hyn yn sicrhau cysondeb a thegwch yn y ffordd y mae’r cynllun yn cael ei ddarparu ac mae’n golygu bod mwy o’r bobl sydd angen y Bathodyn Glas yn cael hawl i’w ddefnyddio.  Ar yr un pryd, mae cyfyngu ar y meini prawf ar gyfer pobl sydd â nam sydd wedi para am ddeuddeg mis neu fwy, gan sicrhau bod y Bathodyn Glas yn parhau i gael ei gadw ar gyfer y bobl sydd â’r anghenion symudedd mwyaf.

The expanded scheme, which provides parking concessions to people with disabilities, will now offer temporary, 12 month badges for those recovering from or awaiting treatment for serious illnesses or injuries. Examples of this may include:

* A person recovering from complex leg fractures sometimes managed with external fixators for periods of well over a year
* A person recovering from stroke or head injury that has impacted on their mobility
* A person recovering from spinal trauma which impacts their mobility
* A person with a serious illness where the treatment may be debilitating, for example treatment for cancer
* A person with severe functional leg impairments who is awaiting or who has undergone joint replacement (e.g. unilateral or bilateral hip, knee, etc)

Ken Skates said: 


> “The Blue Badge scheme helps provide access to services and facilities for those with the greatest need. It plays a vital role in improving access to employment and services for people with disabilities across Wales. 
> 
> “To date, it has been limited to people with permanent impairments, whilst many with substantial but temporary injuries have been deemed ineligible. Extending eligibility by introducing these temporary badges ensures consistency and fairness in the way it’s delivered and means that more of those who need the Blue Badge have access to it. At the same time, limiting the criteria to people who have an impairment lasting twelve months or more ensures that a Blue Badge continues to be reserved for people with the greatest mobility needs.
