Bydd Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru), sydd wedi’i osod gerbron y Senedd heddiw, hefyd yn rhoi mwy o lais a rheolaeth i bobl dros eu gofal iechyd drwy sicrhau bod taliadau uniongyrchol ar gael ar gyfer gofal iechyd parhaus.

Mae rhaglen lywodraethu Llywodraeth Cymru yn nodi ymrwymiadau i ddileu elw preifat o ofal plant sy'n derbyn gofal.

Mewn digwyddiad a gynhaliwyd gan yr elusen Voices from Care Cymru, clywodd y Gweinidog Gofal Cymdeithasol, Dawn Bowden gan bobl ifanc â phrofiad o fod mewn gofal pam eu bod wedi bod yn ymgyrchu dros roi diwedd ar leoliadau gofal i blant er elw yng Nghymru.

Dywedodd:


> Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i drawsnewid gwasanaethau gofal plant mewn modd uchelgeisiol fel eu bod yn gweithredu'n well er budd plant a'u teuluoedd.
> 
> Dydyn ni ddim yn credu ei bod yn iawn gwneud elw o ofalu am blant a phobl ifanc pan fo'u hamgylchiadau yn golygu bod rhaid iddyn nhw fod yng ngofal awdurdodau lleol.
> 
> Bydd y bil hwn yn dileu elw preifat o ofal plant sy'n derbyn gofal ac yn sicrhau bod arian cyhoeddus yn cael ei ddefnyddio i ddarparu gwasanaethau gwell sy'n diwallu anghenion plant ac yn sicrhau profiadau a chanlyniadau gwell.
> 
> Bydd hefyd yn sicrhau bod taliadau uniongyrchol ar gael ar gyfer gofal iechyd parhaus fel bod pobl yn gallu penderfynu drostynt eu hunain pwy sy'n rhoi'r gofal sydd ei angen arnyn nhw.

Bydd taliadau uniongyrchol ar gyfer gofal iechyd parhaus yn caniatáu i bobl anabl a'r rhai sydd ag anghenion iechyd hirdymor gael mwy o reolaeth a mwy o lais ynghylch sut y mae eu gofal yn cael ei ddarparu.

Ar hyn o bryd, nid oes gan bobl sy'n cael gofal iechyd parhaus yng Nghymru unrhyw lais ynglŷn â hyn. Y Gwasanaeth Iechyd sy'n gwneud trefniadau ynghylch eu hanghenion gofal. Bydd eu galluogi i gael taliadau uniongyrchol yn caniatáu iddynt ddewis sut y mae eu hanghenion gofal yn cael eu diwallu. Mae hyn eisoes yn opsiwn i'r rhai sy'n cael gofal cymdeithasol.

Dywedodd Brendan Roberts, person ifanc sydd â phrofiad o fod mewn gofal ac aelod o fwrdd ymddiriedolwyr Voices from Care Cymru:


> Bob tro rydyn ni wedi siarad â phlant a phobl ifanc sydd â phrofiad o fod mewn gofal am hyn, maen nhw bob amser yn dweud yn glir nad yw'n iawn bod cwmnïau yn gwneud elw o ganlyniad i'n hangen ni am ofal a chymorth.
> 
> Rydyn ni'n credu y dylai'r cyfan o'r arian cyhoeddus sy'n cael ei wario gan ein rhieni corfforaethol i ddarparu ein gofal ni gael ei wario ar hynny. Ym mis Rhagfyr 2022, gwnaeth gweinidogion Cymru addewid i ddileu elw o ofal mewn datganiad ar y cyd rhyngddyn nhw a llysgenhadon ifanc â phrofiad o fod mewn gofal. Rydyn ni'n falch o weld heddiw eu bod yn cadw at eu haddewid.

Dywedodd Rhian Davies, prif weithredwr Anabledd Cymru:


> Mae llais, dewis a rheolaeth yn hanfodol i sicrhau hawliau pobl anabl, gan gynnwys pobl â chyflyrau iechyd hirdymor. Mae'r newidiadau angenrheidiol i ofal iechyd parhaus sy'n adlewyrchu'r rhain i'w croesawu'n fawr.
> 
> Am gyfnod rhy hir, nid yw'r rhai sy'n cael gofal iechyd parhaus wedi gallu penderfynu sut y mae eu gofal yn cael ei ddarparu, a gan bwy. Bydd y newid hwn yn caniatáu i bobl anabl gael, a mwynhau, yr un hawliau â'r rhai sy'n cael taliadau uniongyrchol gofal cymdeithasol.

The Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill, which has been laid in the Senedd today, will also give people more say and control over their healthcare by enabling direct payments for continuing healthcare.

The Welsh Government’s programme for government sets out commitments to remove private profit from the care of looked\-after children.

Minister for Social Care Dawn Bowden heard from care\-experienced young people about why they have been campaigning for an end to for\-profit children’s care placements in Wales, at an event hosted by the charity Voices from Care Cymru.

She said:


> The Welsh Government is committed to an ambitious reform of children’s care services so they work better for children and their families.
> 
> We do not believe that private profit should be made from caring for children and young people whose circumstances require them to be in the care of a local authority.
> 
> This bill will eliminate private profit from the care of looked\-after children and ensure public money is used to deliver improved services which meet children’s needs and deliver better experiences and outcomes.
> 
> It will also enable direct payments for continuing healthcare so people can decide for themselves who provides the care they need.

Direct payments for continuing healthcare (CHC) will allow disabled people and those with long\-term health needs to have more control and say about how their care is provided.

Currently, people in receipt of continuing healthcare in Wales have no say over this. Their care needs are arranged by the NHS. Enabling them to receive direct payments will allow them to choose the way their care needs are met. This is already an option for those in receipt of social care.

Brendan Roberts, a care\-experienced young person and a member of the Voices from Care Cymru board of trustees, said:


> Whenever we have consulted care experienced children and young people about this, they are always clear that they think it is wrong for companies to make profit out of our need for care and support.
> 
> We think that public money that is being spent by our corporate parents to provide for our care should all be spent on that. In a declaration agreed between Welsh ministers and care experienced young ambassadors in December 2022, ministers promised to remove profit from care. We are pleased to see them keep their promise today.

Rhian Davies, chief executive of Disability Wales said:


> Voice, choice, and control are vital to ensuring the rights of disabled people including people with long term health conditions. The necessary changes to continuing healthcare reflecting these are very welcome.
> 
> For too long, those on continuing healthcare have not been able to decide how and by whom their care is delivered. This change will allow disabled people to have and enjoy the same rights as those on social care direct payments.
