On 21 November 2021, I updated Members about how we would take forward the legislative proposals in the *Rebalancing Care and Support White Paper,* including our Programme for Government commitments to introduce a strategic National Framework for Care and Support and to legislate to strengthen regional partnership arrangements. I also signalled my intention to establish a national office within the Welsh Government to oversee the implementation of the National Framework.


Following this, the Rebalancing Care and Support programme was set up to deliver these commitments and ensure alignment to other government commitments, including the Fair Work Forum, removing profit from the care of looked\-after children, the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill and the UK Government’s Procurement Bill.  


A technical group was established last December to consider and provide recommendations on the content of the National Framework. Members included key partner organisations and stakeholders, including commissioners, planners and providers of care and support services. I have now received the technical group’s report containing 26 recommendations for the proposed content of the National Framework. I want to thank members for their time, commitment, experience and expertise in developing this crucial and complex policy.


The National Framework for Commissioning Care and Support will be set out in a statutory Code of Practice. This will be issued jointly under the Social Services and Well\-being (Wales) Act 2014 and as guidance under the NHS (Wales) Act 2006\. My officials will now begin the iterative process of producing the draft code of practice, which we intend to consult on next year.


We will continue to engage with the sector and citizens as we develop the National Framework. A small group, made up of members of the technical group, will be set up to co\-produce this policy. The technical group may also discuss significant policy developments as this next phase of work progresses.  


The technical group’s work has run in parallel with the work of the expert group, which was set up to explore how we could take forward the Co\-operation Agreement commitment to create a National Care Service. The Plaid Cymru Designated Member Cefin Campbell and I are considering the expert group’s comprehensive report and recommendations.


The extensive work and recommendations undertaken by both groups are based on and borne out of the intrinsic values, principles, and vision of the Social Services and Well\-being (Wales) Act 2014\. There is a direct alignment and synergy across both sets of recommendations, which I believe provides assurance that the development and implementation of the National Framework provides the first significant steps towards the realisation of a National Care and Support Service.


I will be making a further statement in the new year about how we intend to take the expert group’s recommendations forward and the next steps for the Rebalancing Care and Support programme, including more detailed timings for the consultation about the draft code of practice.

Ar 21 Tachwedd 2021, rhoddais ddiweddariad i’r Aelodau ynghylch sut y byddem yn symud ymlaen â’r cynigion deddfwriaethol yn y *Papur Gwyn ar Ailgydbwyso Gofal a Chymorth*, gan gynnwys yr ymrwymiadau yn ein Rhaglen Lywodraethu i gyflwyno Fframwaith Cenedlaethol strategol ar gyfer Gofal a Chymorth ac i ddeddfu i gryfhau trefniadau partneriaethau rhanbarthol. Cyfeiriais hefyd at fy mwriad i sefydlu swyddfa genedlaethol o fewn Llywodraeth Cymru i oruchwylio’r gwaith o weithredu’r Fframwaith hwnnw.


Yn sgil hynny, sefydlwyd y rhaglen Ailgydbwyso Gofal a Chymorth i gyflawni’r ymrwymiadau a sicrhau eu bod yn gydnaws ag ymrwymiadau eraill y Llywodraeth, gan gynnwys y Fforwm Gwaith Teg, newid i fodelau gofal nid\-er\-elw ar gyfer plant sy’n derbyn gofal, y Bil Partneriaeth Gymdeithasol a Chaffael Cyhoeddus (Cymru), a Bil Caffael Llywodraeth y DU.  


Cafodd grŵp technegol ei greu fis Rhagfyr diwethaf i ystyried a darparu argymhellion ar gyfer y Fframwaith Cenedlaethol. Roedd yr aelodau’n cynnwys sefydliadau partner a rhanddeiliaid allweddol, megis comisiynwyr, cynllunwyr, a darparwyr gwasanaethau gofal a chymorth. Bellach rwyf wedi cael adroddiad y grŵp technegol sy’n gwneud 26 o argymhellion ar gyfer cynnwys arfaethedig y Fframwaith. Hoffwn ddiolch i’r aelodau am roi o’u hamser, a hefyd eu hymroddiad, eu profiad a’u harbenigedd, wrth ddatblygu’r polisi hanfodol a chymhleth hwn.


Bydd y Fframwaith Cenedlaethol ar gyfer Comisiynu Gofal a Chymorth yn cael ei osod mewn Cod Ymarfer statudol. Bydd hwn yn cael ei gyd\-gyhoeddi o dan Ddeddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 ac mewn canllawiau o dan Ddeddf GIG (Cymru) 2006\. Bydd fy swyddogion yn dechrau’r broses iteru i gynhyrchu fersiwn ddrafft o’r cod ymarfer, a byddwn yn ymgynghori ar y fersiwn honno y flwyddyn nesaf.


Byddwn yn parhau i ymgysylltu â’r sector a dinasyddion wrth inni ddatblygu’r Fframwaith Cenedlaethol. Bydd grŵp bach, sy’n cynnwys aelodau o’r grŵp technegol, yn cael ei sefydlu i gyd\-gynhyrchu’r polisi hwn. Mae’n bosibl y bydd y grŵp technegol hefyd yn trafod datblygiadau polisi pwysig wrth i’r cam nesaf yn y gwaith fynd rhagddo.


Mae gwaith y grŵp technegol wedi cyd\-redeg â gwaith y grŵp arbenigol, a gafodd ei greu i ymchwilio i sut y gallem symud ymlaen ag ymrwymiad y Cytundeb Cydweithio i greu Gwasanaeth Gofal Cenedlaethol. Mae Aelod Dynodedig Plaid Cymru, Cefin Campbell, a finnau yn ystyried adroddiad cynhwysfawr ac argymhellion y grŵp arbenigol.


Mae’r gwaith helaeth a’r argymhellion a wnaed gan y ddau grŵp yn seiliedig ar weledigaeth, gwerthoedd ac egwyddorion craidd Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014\. Mae’r ddwy set o argymhellion yn cyd\-fynd yn uniongyrchol ac mae synergedd rhyngddynt ar eu traws, ac rwyf o’r farn bod hyn yn darparu sicrwydd bod datblygu a gweithredu’r Fframwaith Cenedlaethol yn creu’r camau pwysig cyntaf tuag at wireddu Gwasanaeth Gofal a Chymorth Cenedlaethol.


Byddaf yn gwneud datganiad pellach yn y flwyddyn newydd ynghylch sut yr ydym yn bwriadu bwrw ymlaen ag argymhellion y grŵp arbenigol, a chamau nesaf y rhaglen Ailgydbwyso Gofal a Chymorth, gan gynnwys amserlen fanylach ar gyfer cynnal ymgynghoriad ar y cod ymarfer drafft.
