Bydd £450 miliwn ychwanegol ar gael i'r GIG a bydd setliad craidd llywodraeth leol yn cynyddu 3\.1%. Ond hyd yn oed gyda'r cyllid ychwanegol, mae byrddau iechyd a chynghorau yn wynebu blwyddyn anodd iawn i ddod.

Wrth iddi gyhoeddi cynlluniau gwario Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024\-2025, dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid fod Gweinidogion Cymru, wrth ddatblygu'r Gyllideb ddrafft, wedi wynebu'r "dewisiadau mwyaf cyfyng a phoenus o ran cyllideb Cymru ers dechrau datganoli".

O ganlyniad i chwyddiant sydd wedi aros yn uchel, mae cyfanswm cyllideb Cymru yn werth £1\.3 biliwn yn llai mewn termau real na phan gafodd ei gosod yn 2021\. Yn ogystal, nid yw'r setliad, sy'n dod yn bennaf gan Lywodraeth y DU ar ffurf grant bloc, yn ddigonol i ymateb i'r pwysau eithriadol ar wasanaethau cyhoeddus, busnesau a phobl.

Dywedodd Rebecca Evans, y Gweinidog Cyllid:


> "Ry'n ni wedi gorfod gwneud penderfyniadau anodd iawn i ailddylunio ein cynlluniau gwario yn sylweddol iawn i dargedu cyllid at y gwasanaethau sydd bwysicaf i bobl Cymru.
> 
> "Ar ôl tair blynedd ar ddeg o gyni, cytundeb Brexit diffygiol a'r argyfwng costau byw presennol, dyma'r sefyllfa ariannol anoddaf i Gymru ei hwynebu ers dechrau datganoli. Dyw ein setliad ariannu, sy'n dod yn bennaf gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig, ddim yn ddigon yn sgil y pwysau eithriadol sy'n wynebu Cymru.
> 
> "Ry'n ni wedi gorfod gwneud y dewisiadau mwyaf cyfyng a phoenus o ran y gyllideb ers dechrau datganoli. Ry'n ni wedi ail\-lunio cynlluniau gwario adrannau fel y gallwn fuddsoddi mwy yn y Gwasanaeth Iechyd a diogelu cyllid craidd llywodraeth leol ar gyfer ysgolion, gofal cymdeithasol a'r gwasanaethau eraill ry'n ni'n dibynnu arnyn nhw bob dydd.
> 
> "Dyw Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig ddim wedi rhoi i Gymru setliad ariannu sy'n cydnabod effaith chwyddiant, ond ry'n ni wedi gwneud newidiadau i'n cynlluniau gwario ac wedi targedu buddsoddiad tuag at y gwasanaethau cyhoeddus sydd bwysicaf inni gyd."

Daw'r cyllid ychwanegol ar gyfer y GIG yn 2024\-2025 ar ben y £425 miliwn ychwanegol a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Hydref ar gyfer gweddill y flwyddyn ariannol hon, ac a gafodd ei wneud yn rhan reolaidd o'r gyllideb ar gyfer y dyfodol. Golyga hyn y bydd maes iechyd yn cael mwy na 4% o gynnydd ar gyfer 2024\-25, o'i gymharu â llai nag 1% yn Lloegr.

Bydd setliad craidd llywodraeth leol, sydd, ynghyd â'r dreth gyngor leol, yn ariannu gwasanaethau fel ysgolion, gwasanaethau cymdeithasol a gofal cymdeithasol, casglu biniau a chyfleusterau hamdden lleol, hefyd yn cael ei ddiogelu, gan gynyddu 3\.1%.

Mae'r Gyllideb ddrafft wedi'i hail\-lunio yn unol ag egwyddorion a gwerthoedd Llywodraeth Cymru, sy'n cynnwys diogelu gwasanaethau rheng flaen craidd, ble bynnag y bo modd; sicrhau'r budd mwyaf i aelwydydd sy'n cael eu taro galetaf; a blaenoriaethu swyddi ble bynnag y bo modd.

Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i ddarparu cymorth i bobl sy'n cael eu taro galetaf gan yr argyfwng costau byw, gan gynnwys drwy'r Cynllun Gostyngiadau'r Dreth Gyngor a phecyn cymorth gwerth £384 miliwn i dalwyr ardrethi annomestig, sy'n cynnwys rhyddhad i fusnesau manwerthu, hamdden a lletygarwch am y bumed flwyddyn yn olynol.

Bydd Cronfa Paratoi at y Dyfodol, sy'n gronfa newydd gwerth £20 miliwn, yn cael ei chyflwyno yn gynnar yn 2024\-2025 i fusnesau.

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid hefyd y bydd y Llywodraeth yn ystyried yn ofalus a oes angen codi taliadau am rai gwasanaethau – fel gofal deintyddol o dan y GIG, ffioedd dysgu prifysgolion a gofal cartref – er mwyn helpu i godi arian ychwanegol ar gyfer gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ac addysg uwch, yn sgil sefyllfa bresennol y gyllideb.

There will be an extra £450 million for the NHS and the core local government settlement will increase by 3\.1%. But even with the additional funding, health boards and councils face a very difficult year ahead.

Speaking as she published the Welsh Government’s spending plans for 2024\-2025, the Finance Minister said that Welsh Ministers had faced the “most stark and painful budget choices for Wales in the devolution era” as they developed the draft Budget.

As a result of persistently high inflation, Wales’ overall budget is worth £1\.3 billion less in real terms than when it was set in 2021; and the settlement, which largely comes from the UK government in the form of a block grant, is not sufficient enough to respond to the extreme pressures that public services, businesses and people are facing.

Finance Minister, Rebecca Evans, said:


> “We have had to take some really difficult decisions to radically redesign our spending plans to focus funding on the services which matter most to the people of Wales.
> 
> “After 13 years of austerity, a botched Brexit deal, and the ongoing cost\-of\-living crisis, this is the toughest financial situation Wales has faced since the start of devolution. Our funding settlement, which comes largely from the UK government, is not enough to reflect the extreme pressures Wales faces.
> 
> “We have been presented with the most stark and painful budget choices in the devolution era. We have reshaped departmental spending plans so that we can invest more in the NHS and protect core local government funding for schools, social care and the other services we rely on every day.
> 
> “While the UK government has not provided Wales with a funding settlement that recognises the impact of inflation, we have made changes to our spending plans and targeted investment towards the public services we all value the most.”

The additional funding for the NHS in 2024\-2025 comes on top of the additional £425 million which was announced in October for the remainder of this financial year, and which was baselined into the budget for the future. This means that Health will receive more than a 4% increase for 2024\-2025, compared to less than 1% in England.

The core local government settlement, which along with local council tax, funds services including schools, social services and social care, bin collections and local leisure facilities, will also be protected, with a 3\.1% increase.

The draft Budget has been reshaped in line with the Welsh Government’s principles and values, which include protecting core frontline services, wherever possible; delivering the greatest benefit to hardest hit households; and prioritising jobs wherever possible.

The Welsh Government will continue to provide support to people hardest hit by the cost\-of\-living crisis, including through the Council Tax Reduction Scheme and a £384 million package of support for non\-domestic ratepayers, which includes a fifth successive year of relief for retail leisure and hospitality businesses.

A new £20 million Future Proofing Fund will be introduced in early 2024\-2025 for businesses.

The Finance Minister also said the government will be carefully examining whether charges for some services – such as NHS dental care, university tuition fees and domiciliary care – need to be raised to help raise extra funding for public services and higher education, in light of the current budget situation.
