The Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill has today been laid before the Senedd.

We have committed to eliminate profit from the care of looked after children. This Bill will ensure that in the future only not\-for\-profit entities or local authorities can provide certain types of children’s social care. We also intend to give people who are receiving continuing NHS healthcare the ability to request direct payments, and the Bill will enable this. 

The restrictions on profit give effect to our long\-held belief there should not be a market for care for children, and that profits should not be made from caring for children facing particular challenges in their lives. The market is not functioning effectively and is not meeting the needs of many children. Under our proposals, the future residential, secure accommodation and foster care of looked after children in Wales will be provided by the public sector, or by charitable or not\-for\-profit organisations. 

The provisions in the Bill in relation to healthcare amend the NHS (Wales) Act 2006 to allow the Welsh Ministers to make direct payments to individuals to meet their assessed needs, or to direct health boards to exercise these functions. This will enable direct payments to become an option for individuals who have been assessed as having a primary health need and who are entitled to receive continuing NHS healthcare. Direct payments will enable these individuals to choose how to secure services that meet their needs. 

The Bill will also make some other amendments to the Social Services and Well\-being (Wales) Act 2014 and the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016, to ensure that these Acts operate fully and effectively.

I am very grateful for all the work my immediate predecessor Julie Morgan, the former Deputy Minister for Social Services, has done on this Bill. 

I will be making a legislative statement in Plenary tomorrow, which will provide greater detail about the Bill. 

I look forward to working with Members as the Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill is scrutinised by the Senedd.

Heddiw, gosodwyd Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru) gerbron y Senedd.

Rydym wedi ymrwymo i ddileu elw o ofal plant sy'n derbyn gofal. Bydd y Bil hwn yn sicrhau mai dim ond endidau nid\-er\-elw neu awdurdodau lleol fydd yn gallu darparu mathau penodol o ofal cymdeithasol i blant yn y dyfodol. Rydym hefyd, drwy'r Bil hwn, yn bwriadu galluogi pobl sy'n cael gofal iechyd parhaus y Gwasanaeth Iechyd i ofyn am daliadau uniongyrchol. 

Bydd y cyfyngiadau ar elw yn gwireddu'r hyn yr ydym wedi'i gredu ers tro, sef na ddylai yna fod marchnad ar gyfer gofal i blant ac na ddylid gwneud elw o ofalu am blant sy’n wynebu heriau penodol yn eu bywydau. Nid yw'r farchnad yn gweithio'n effeithiol nac yn diwallu anghenion llawer o blant. O dan ein cynigion, bydd gofal preswyl, llety diogel a gofal maeth i blant sy’n derbyn gofal yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol yn cael eu darparu gan y sector cyhoeddus, neu gan sefydliadau elusennol neu nid\-er\-elw. 

Mae darpariaethau'r Bil sy'n ymwneud â gofal iechyd yn diwygio Deddf y GIG (Cymru) 2006 i ganiatáu i Weinidogion Cymru wneud taliadau uniongyrchol i unigolion i ddiwallu eu hanghenion a aseswyd, neu i gyfarwyddo byrddau iechyd i arfer y swyddogaethau hyn. O ganlyniad, bydd taliadau uniongyrchol yn opsiwn i unigolion sydd wedi cael eu hasesu fel rhai y mae ganddynt angen iechyd sylfaenol ac sydd â hawl i gael gofal iechyd parhaus y GIG. Bydd taliadau uniongyrchol yn galluogi'r unigolion hyn i ddewis sut i sicrhau gwasanaethau sy'n diwallu eu hanghenion. 

Bydd y Bil hefyd yn gwneud rhai diwygiadau eraill i Ddeddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 a Deddf Rheoleiddio ac Arolygu Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru) 2016, i sicrhau bod y Deddfau hyn yn gweithredu'n llawn ac yn effeithiol.

Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn am yr holl waith y mae fy rhagflaenydd uniongyrchol Julie Morgan, y cyn Ddirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, wedi'i wneud ar y Bil hwn. 

Byddaf yn gwneud datganiad deddfwriaethol yn y Cyfarfod Llawn yfory, gan roi mwy o fanylion am y Bil. 

Edrychaf ymlaen at weithio gydag Aelodau wrth i'r Senedd graffu ar Fil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru).
