Bydd y Gweinidog yn cydio yn arweinyddiaeth y grŵp rhyngweinidogol ar dalu am ofal cymdeithasol, a sefydlwyd y llynedd i edrych ar yr opsiynau ariannu a’r modelau gofal cymdeithasol sydd ar gael i fodloni’r cynnydd yn y galw.

Bydd y grŵp yn defnyddio adroddiad yr Athro Gerald Holtham ar ardoll gofal cymdeithasol yn sail i’w waith. Comisiynwyd yr adroddiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru a bydd yn destun dadl yn y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol heddiw.

Dywedodd Mr Gething: 


> “Mae’r gost o ofalu am boblogaeth sy’n heneiddio yn fater cymhleth a heriol sy’n wynebu’r rhan fwyaf o’r byd datblygedig.
> 
> “Rydyn ni wedi gwneud cynnydd enfawr o ran gwella gofal iechyd a thaclo salwch ac mae hynny’n ein helpu ni i gyd i fyw’n hirach, heb glefydau. Mae angen i’n model gofal cymdeithasol ddatblygu ar yr un cyflymder hefyd, o ystyried mor bwysig yw hi bod unigolion yn cael cadw’u hannibyniaeth, a’r gydberthynas rhwng gofal cymdeithasol a’r system gofal iechyd ehangach.
> 
> “Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi rhoi blaenoriaeth i ofal cymdeithasol ac rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i ddatblygu modelau ariannu arloesol i helpu â’r costau yn y dyfodol.
> 
> “Un o’r syniadau yw sefydlu ardoll i godi cyllid ychwanegol ar gyfer gofal cymdeithasol. Bydd angen iddo gael ei ystyried yn ofalus ar y cyd â’r holl opsiynau eraill, gan gynnwys modelau yswiriant.”

Roedd syniad yr Athro Holtham am ardoll gofal cymdeithasol yn un o’r pedwar syniad am drethi newydd a gododd o’r drafodaeth genedlaethol am drethi newydd yn ystod haf 2017\. Cyhoeddwyd ei adroddiad a’i ddadansoddiad economaidd ym mis Mehefin 2018\.

Heddiw, bydd Aelodau’r Cynulliad yn trafod yr adroddiad a’r syniad ynghylch codi cyllid ychwanegol ar gyfer gofal cymdeithasol yn y dyfodol.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi rhoi blaenoriaeth i ariannu iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol ar y cyd – mae ffigurau swyddogol y Trysorlys yn dangos bod y gwariant y pen ar y swyddogaethau hyn wedi codi 3\.8% yng Nghymru yn 2017\-18 – y cynnydd mwyaf yn unrhyw un o bedair gwlad y DU.

Mae gwariant y pen ar iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yng Nghymru 11% yn uwch nag yn Lloegr – mae’n gyfystyr â £290 yn ychwanegol i bob person.

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid, Rebecca Evans: 


> “Mae disgwyl i’r cyfran o bobl dros 75 oed yng Nghymru gynyddu fwy na 40% erbyn 2030, a gan fwy na 70% erbyn 2040; ac i nifer y rhai dros 85 oed fwy na dyblu erbyn 2040\.
> 
> “Mae hyn yn newyddion da, ond mae’n golygu hefyd bod angen inni ddod o hyd i ffordd fwy hirdymor o ariannu gofal cymdeithasol er mwyn helpu pobl i fyw’n annibynnol.
> 
> “Y rhagolygon hyn a arweiniodd at gynnig yr Athro Holtham i godi ardoll ar incwm i helpu i dalu am ofal.
> 
> “Cynigiodd y dylai’r arian a fyddai’n cael ei godi drwy’r ardoll gael ei ddefnyddio i helpu i gyllido costau uniongyrchol gofalu am bobl hŷn, ac y dylai’r gweddill gael ei roi mewn cronfa wedi’i chlustnodi a fyddai’n cael ei buddsoddi i helpu i dalu am y cynnydd a ddisgwylir yn y galw am ofal gan genedlaethau’r dyfodol.”

He will take over the work of chairing the inter\-Ministerial group on paying for social care, which was set up last year to investigate the future funding options and social care models to meet rising demand.

The group will use the report by Professor Gerald Holtham about a social care levy as the basis for its work. The report, which was commissioned by the Welsh Government, will be debated by the National Assembly today.

Mr Gething said:


> “How we meet the costs of caring for an ageing population is a complex and challenging question, which faces most of the developed world. 
> 
> “We have made enormous progress in improving healthcare and tackling illness, helping us all to live longer, disease\-free lives and  our model of social care needs to keep pace  given the importance of  people’s individual independence and of its interplay with the wider healthcare system.
> 
> “The Welsh Government has prioritised social care and we are committed to developing innovative funding models to support future costs. 
> 
> “A levy is one of the options for raising additional funding for social care. This requires careful consideration alongside all other options including insurance models.”

Professor Holtham’s idea for a social care levy was one of four new tax ideas to emerge from the national debate about new taxes in the summer of 2017\. His report and economic analysis was published in June 2018\.

Today, Assembly Members will debate the report and ideas for raising additional funding for social care in the future. 

The Welsh Government has prioritised funding for health and social services combined – official Treasury figures show spending per person on these functions increased by 3\.8% in Wales in 2017\-18, the highest increase of any of the four UK countries.   
  
Spending per person on health and social services in Wales is 11% higher than in England – equivalent to an extra £290 per person.

Finance Minister Rebecca Evans said: 


> “The proportion of people over the age of 75 years in Wales is projected to increase by more than 40% by 2030, and by more than 70% by 2040; and the number of people over 85 is projected to more than double by 2040\.
> 
> “All this is good news, but it does mean that we need to find a longer\-term way of funding social care to help people live independently. 
> 
> “It was against these forecasts that Professor Holtham proposed a levy on income to help pay for care. 
> 
> “He proposed the proceeds from the levy helping to fund the immediate costs of care for older people, with the remainder being placed in a ring\-fenced fund and invested to help cover expected increases in the demand for care by future generations.”
