Around 1\.5 million people have a learning disability in the UK; some have a mild, moderate or severe learning disability which remains throughout their lives. There are approximately 15,000 adults with a learning disability are known to social services in Wales, with potentially at least a further 60,000 people not known to social services.  
  
In 2017, the Welsh Government established the Learning Disability \- Improving Lives Programme to better understand whether people with a learning disability have what they need to lead successful lives. It considered what a person and their families and carers may require across their life course and how these needs are currently being met.  
  
Last week, the Welsh Government published A Healthier Wales, its long term plan for health and social care. This provides a blueprint to build and strengthen services for people with a learning disability and their families and carers, ensuring the seamless delivery of services focused around the needs of the individual and encouraging good practice to be shared consistently across Wales.   
  
The Improving Lives Programme will focus on improving services in five key areas:  


* early Years – reducing adverse childhood experiences and improving the ability of parents with a learning disability to bring up their children
* housing – new models of supported housing will be developed, helping people to live closer to their friends and families
* social care – making sure everyone who needs it has a access to good quality care and support which is focused on their needs
* health – through reasonable adjustments to mainstream services and access to specialist services when needed. To address health inequalities, making sure people with a learning disability receive the annual health checks they are entitled to and health boards ensure they meet the needs of people with a learning disability when in hospital
* education, skills and employment – supporting young people to make the most of their potential, and when they become adults ensuring they have the right support to allow them to live successful lives, through providing targeted careers advice and making sure more people with a learning disability have paid jobs.

Minister for Children, Older People and Social Care, Huw Irranca\-Davies said:  

> “In the Welsh Government’s Strategy, Prosperity for All, we’ve challenged ourselves to look at the services we provide to ensure they support everyone to live a healthy, prosperous and rewarding life.
> 
> “Over the last year, we’ve met more than 2,000 people with learning disabilities, their families and carers to better understand whether they have what they need to lead successful lives. The response from parents and carers shows we have some work to do before we can be that sure all services are person\-centred and flexible enough to meet people’s needs.
> 
> “The Improving Lives Programme I’m announcing today will put people and their families at the centre of our services, and give them a say in the services they receive. We will ensure services are seamless and work together, which will hopefully benefit everyone, whilst ensuring those who need additional support experience a level of equality when accessing services.”

To support the implementation of the programme, the Minister has established a Learning Disability Ministerial Advisory Group, whose membership includes people with a learning disability and families and carers key and key professionals from local authorities, the health sector and charities.   
  
The group will be chaired by Mrs Gwenda Thomas, the former Assembly Member for Neath and Deputy Minister for Social Services in the Welsh Government between 2007 and 2014\. Ms Sophie Hinksman, a representative of All Wales People First will continue in her role as to Co\-Chair.

Mae gan tua 1\.5 miliwn o bobl y DU anabledd dysgu; rhai ohonynt yn anableddau dysgu ysgafn, cymedrol neu ddifrifol sy'n parhau drwy gydol eu bywydau. Mae'r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yng Nghymru yn gwybod am oddeutu 15,000 o oedolion ag anabledd dysgu, ac mae’n bosibl bod o leiaf 60,000 arall nad yw’r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn gwybod amdanynt.    
  
Yn 2017, sefydlodd Llywodraeth Cymru Anabledd Dysgu \- Rhaglen Gwella Bywydau er mwyn deall yn well a yw pobl ag anabledd dysgu yn cael yr hyn sydd ei angen arnynt i fyw eu bywydau'n llwyddiannus. Roedd yn ystyried pa anghenion fyddai gan bobl, eu teuluoedd a'u gofalwyr, ar hyd eu hoes, a sut y mae'r anghenion hynny'n cael eu diwallu ar hyn o bryd.  
  
Yr wythnos ddiwethaf cyhoeddwyd Cymru Iachach, cynllun hirdymor Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. Mae’n cynnig sail ar gyfer datblygu a chryfhau gwasanaethau i bobl ag anabledd dysgu, eu teuluoedd a'u gofalwyr, er mwyn sicrhau bod gwasanaethau'n cael eu darparu mewn modd di\-dor sy'n canolbwyntio ar anghenion yr unigolyn, gan hyrwyddo arferion da ledled Cymru.   
  
Bydd y Rhaglen Gwella Bywydau yn canolbwyntio ar wella gwasanaethau mewn pum maes allweddol:  


* y blynyddoedd cynnar \- lleihau profiadau niweidiol plentyndod a gwella gallu rhieni ag anabledd dysgu i fagu eu plant
* tai \- datblygu modelau newydd o dai â chymorth, gan helpu pobl i fyw yn agosach at eu ffrindiau a'u teuluoedd
* gofal cymdeithasol \- sicrhau bod pawb sydd ei angen â mynediad at ofal a chymorth o ansawdd da sy'n canolbwyntio ar eu hanghenion
* iechyd \- addasiadau rhesymol i wasanaethau prif ffrwd a mynediad at wasanaethau arbenigol pan fo angen. Er mwyn rhoi sylw i anghydraddoldebau iechyd, sicrhau bod pobl ag anableddau dysgu yn derbyn yr archwiliadau iechyd blynyddol y mae ganddynt hawl i'w cael a byrddau iechyd i sicrhau eu bod yn diwallu anghenion pobl ag anableddau dysgu yn yr ysbyty
* addysg, sgiliau a Chyflogaeth \- helpu pobl ifanc i wneud y mwyaf o’u potensial, a phan fyddant yn oedolion, sicrhau eu bod yn cael y cymorth cywir er mwyn caniatáu iddynt fyw bywydau llwyddiannus, drwy ddarparu cyngor ar yrfaoedd wedi ei dargedu a sicrhau bod mwy o bobl ag anableddau dysgu yn cael swyddi cyflogedig.

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Plant, Pobl Hŷn a Gofal Cymdeithasol, Huw Irranca\-Davies:  

> “Yn Strategaeth Llywodraeth Cymru \- Ffyniant i Bawb, rydyn ni wedi herio'n hunain i edrych ar y gwasanaethau rydyn ni'n eu darparu er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn helpu pawb i fyw bywyd iach a ffyniannus sy'n dod â boddhad.
> 
> "Dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, rydyn ni wedi cyfarfod dros 2,000 o bobl ag anableddau dysgu, eu teuluoedd a'u gofalwyr er mwyn dod i ddeall yn well a oes ganddynt yr hyn sydd ei angen i fyw bywydau llwyddiannus. Mae ymateb rhieni a gofalwyr yn dangos bod rhywfaint o waith gennym i'w wneud cyn i ni fedru bod yn siŵr bod yr holl wasanaethau yn canolbwyntio ar y person ac yn ddigon hyblyg i ddiwallu anghenion pobl.
> 
> "Mae'r Rhaglen Gwella Bywydau yr wyf yn ei chyhoeddi heddiw yn mynd i osod pobl a'u teuluoedd wrth galon ein gwasanaethau, a rhoi llais iddyn nhw yn y gwasanaethau maen nhw'n eu derbyn. Byddwn yn sicrhau bod gwasanaethau yn ddi\-dor ac yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd er lles pawb, gan sicrhau bod y rhai sydd angen cymorth ychwanegol yn cael eu trin yn gyfartal wrth ddefnyddio gwasanaethau.”

Er mwyn helpu i roi'r rhaglen ar waith, mae'r Gweinidog wedi sefydlu Grŵp Cynghori'r Gweinidog ar Anableddau Dysgu. Ymysg yr aelodau mae pobl ag anableddau dysgu, teuluoedd a gofalwyr, a gweithwyr proffesiynol o awdurdodau lleol, y sector iechyd ac elusennau.   
  
Cadeirydd y grŵp fydd Mrs Gwenda Thomas, cyn Aelod Cynulliad Castell\-nedd a Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol Llywodraeth Cymru rhwng 2007 a 2014\. Bydd Ms Sophie Hinksman, cynrychiolydd Pobl yn Gyntaf Cymru yn parhau yn ei rôl fel Cyd\-gadeirydd.
