Mae gofal cymdeithasol yn rhoi cymorth gwerthfawr i rai o'r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymunedau, ond y gofal hwn hefyd yw’r sylfaen anweledig sy'n cefnogi ein Gwasanaeth Iechyd a'n cymdeithas yn ehangach. 


Yn ystod pandemig y coronafeirws, mae staff gofal cymdeithasol wedi darparu gofal eithriadol – yng nghartrefi pobl ac mewn cartrefi gofal ledled Cymru. I gydnabod y cyfraniad hwnnw, fe wnaethom gyhoeddi fis diwethaf y byddai pob gweithiwr mewn gofal cartref a phob gweithiwr gofal cymdeithasol yn cael taliad arbennig o £500\.


Yn dilyn y cyhoeddiad, rydym wedi cael trafodaethau helaeth gyda chyflogwyr, awdurdodau lleol ac undebau llafur ynglŷn â'r taliad. Rwy’n falch o gyhoeddi y bydd ar gael i bob aelod o staff ategol sy'n gweithio mewn cartrefi preswyl ac sydd wedi chwarae rhan weithredol o ran cefnogi’r ddarpariaeth gofal.


Mae cartrefi gofal yn gweithredu fel aelwydydd mawr ac mae amrywiaeth eang o staff wedi datblygu perthynas werthfawr gyda phreswylwyr ac wedi cyfrannu at eu gofal a'u lles yn ystod pandemig y coronafeirws. Mae staff ceginau a staff domestig, er enghraifft, wedi helpu yn ystod yr argyfwng gan roi cefnogaeth a chyfeillgarwch hanfodol i breswylwyr pan nad yw eu perthnasau wedi gallu ymweld â nhw. Mae cydlynwyr gweithgareddau wedi parhau i gynnal gweithgareddau difyr ac ystyrlon ar gyfer y preswylwyr. Bydd staff nyrsio a gyflogir gan gartrefi gofal yn cael eu cynnwys hefyd.


Mae cartrefi gofal yn cynnwys y rhai sydd wedi'u cofrestru i ofalu am oedolion hŷn, oedolion iau a phlant. Mae hyn yn cynnwys y gwasanaeth llety diogel i blant a'r ysgolion arbennig preswyl hynny sydd wedi'u cofrestru fel cartrefi gofal gydag Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru.


Mae gweithwyr gofal cartref a chynorthwywyr personol, sy’n darparu gofal i’r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yng Nghymru, wedi’u cynnwys yn y cynllun hefyd.


Taliad untro ar ffurf cyfradd safonol fydd hwn, ar gyfer pobl a gyflogir mewn swyddi cymwys rhwng 15 Mawrth a 31 Mai. Bydd yr un fath i bawb, waeth faint o oriau y mae'r staff wedi eu gweithio.  Nod y taliad hwn yw cydnabod cyfraniad staff gofal cymdeithasol sydd wedi gweithio yn ystod y cyfnod tyngedfennol hwn.


Rydym yn gweithio i gael y taliad hwn i’r gweithlu gofal cymdeithasol cyn gynted a phosibl ac rydym yn parhau i weithio gyda’r awdurdodau lleol, Fforwm Gofal Cymru ac undebau llafur i gwblhau’r manylion terfynol ar gyfer darparu’r arian hwn. Mae natur amrywiol y sector gofal cymdeithasol yn golygu na fydd pawb sy'n gymwys yn cael y taliad yr un diwrnod.  Rydym hefyd yn dal i drafod â Llywodraeth y DU er mwyn cael eglurder ynglŷn â’r goblygiadau o ran treth ac yswiriant gwladol.


Rydym yn parhau’n ymrwymedig i sicrhau cynaliadwyedd y sector gofal cymdeithasol a byddwn yn sefydlu Fforwm Gwaith Teg ar gyfer Gofal Cymdeithasol, mewn cydweithrediad â'n partneriaid cymdeithasol. Bydd y Fforwm yn cael y gorchwyl o ystyried pa gamau pellach y dylid eu cymryd i sicrhau gwaith teg yn y tymor canolig a hir ar draws y sector gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru.

Social care provides invaluable support to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities but it is also the invisible scaffolding, which supports our NHS and our wider society.


During the coronavirus pandemic, social care staff have provided exceptional care – in people’s homes and in care homes throughout Wales. In recognition of that contribution, we announced last month a special, one\-off payment of £500 for all care home and domiciliary care workers.


Following the announcement, we have had extensive discussions with employers, local authorities and trade unions about the payment. I am pleased to announce it will be extended to all ancillary staff working in residential homes that have played an active role in supporting the provision of care. 


Care homes operate as large households and a wide range of staff have developed valued relationships with residents and have contributed to their care and wellbeing during the coronavirus pandemic – kitchen and domestic staff, for example have helped out during this crisis, providing vital support and friendship for residents when relatives have been unable to visit. Activity co\-ordinators have continued to engage and occupy residents in entertaining and meaningful activities. Nursing staff employed by the care home will also be included.


Care homes comprise those registered to care for older adults, younger adults and children. This includes the secure accommodation service for children and those residential special schools registered as care homes with Care Inspectorate Wales.


Domiciliary care workers and personal assistants, who are providing care to the most vulnerable people in Wales, are also included in the scheme.


The payment will be a one\-off flat rate payment for those in eligible jobs between 15 March and 31 May and is the same irrespective of the number of hours they worked.


This payment is designed to acknowledge the contribution of social care staff who have worked during this critical period.


We are working to get this payment to the social care workforce as quickly as possible and are continuing to work with local authorities, Care Forum Wales and trade unions to finalise the details of how this money will be delivered. The diverse nature of the social care sector means those eligible will not all receive the payment on the same day. We are also continuing discussions with the UK Government, to clarify the tax and national insurance implications.  

  

We remain committed to ensuring the sustainability of the social care sector and will establish a Social Care Fair Work Forum in collaboration with our social partners. It will be tasked with considering what further steps should be taken to deliver fair work in the medium and longer term across the social care sector in Wales.
