Yn dilyn fy Natganiad Llafar ar 15 Medi, hoffwn roi gwybod i Aelodau'r Cynulliad pwy yw Cadeirydd ac Aelodau'r grŵp o arbenigwyr a fydd yn cynghori Llywodraeth Cymru ar ei strategaeth dai ar gyfer poblogaeth sy'n heneiddio

 Yn gynharach eleni, gwnaethom dderbyn adroddiad pwysig oddi wrth un o ffrydiau gwaith Fforwm Cynghori'r Gweinidog ar Heneiddio, ynglŷn â'r problemau tai sy'n wynebu pobl hŷn yng Nghymru. Hefyd, gwelsom gyhoeddi adroddiad gan y Sefydliad Polisi Cyhoeddus i Gymru ar fodloni anghenion poblogaeth sy'n heneiddio yng Nghymru am dai, sy'n gwneud argymhellion ar gyfer camau i'w cymryd gan Lywodraeth Cymru a phartneriaid allweddol.

 Rwy'n hynod falch bod yr Athro Judith Phillips wedi cytuno i gadeirio'r Grŵp. Yr Athro Phillips yw Dirprwy Is\-ganghellor ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe a Chyfarwyddwr Canolfan Heneiddio ac Ymchwil Dementia Cymru. Daw â chyfoeth o wybodaeth a phrofiad perthnasol yn y maes yn ei sgil.

 Dyma aelodau eraill y grŵp:

 * Gary Day, Cyfarwyddwr Tir a Chynllunio McCarthy and Stone Retirement Lifestyles Ltd
* Angela Morriston, Cyfarwyddwr Quattro Design Architects
* Walis George, Prif Weithredwr Grŵp Cynefin
* Robin Tetlow, Cadeirydd Tetlow King Planning Ltd
* Ruth Marks, Prif Weithredwr Cyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru
* Ceri Jackson, Cyfarwyddwr RNIB Cymru a Chadeirydd Cynghrair Henoed Cymru
* Lorraine Morgan, Ymgynghorydd ar Heneiddio. Hyrwyddo’r model cymdeithasol o heneiddio trwy “Iechyd, Gofal Gymdeithasol, Addysg a Thai”
* Alan Hatton Yeo, Prif Swyddog Gweithredol Sefydliad Beth Johnson, wedi ymddeol, ac arweinydd rhaglen Cymru Oed Gyfeillgar, Materion Gwirfoddoli Cymru
* Dr Sarah Hillcoat\-Nallétamby, Darlithydd Cyswllt, Polisi Cyhoeddus a Heneiddio, y Ganolfan Heneiddio Arloesol, Prifysgol Abertawe
* Y Cynghorydd Dyfed Edwards, Arweinydd Cyngor Sir Gwynedd a Llefarydd CLlLC ar Dai
* Parry Davies, Cyfarwyddwr presennol sydd â chyfrifoldeb am Wasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Gwasanaethau Tai yng Nghyngor Sir Ceredigion

* Dr. Chrissie Pickin, Cyfarwyddwr Gweithredol ar Gyfer Iechyd a Lles, Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
* Sarah Rochira Comisiynydd Pobl Hŷn Cymru.

 Prif her y grŵp fydd cynnig cyngor ynglŷn â'r camau ymarferol y gellir eu cymryd i ehangu opsiynau pobl hŷn o ran tai. Bydd yn gallu ystyried yr adroddiadau sydd eisoes wedi'u rhannu gan Grŵp Cynghori'r Gweinidog ar Heneiddio a'r Sefydliad Polisi Cyhoeddus i Gymru a'u hategu. Mae angen i Dai ddod yn elfen amlycach fyth o'n huchelgais i wneud Cymru'n wlad wych i heneiddio ynddi. Dylem fod yn barod i ddysgu sut y gallwn gyflawni hyn oddi wrth arfer da yng Nghymru a thu hwnt.

 Rwy'n falch ein bod wedi llwyddo i gasglu'r fath amrywiaeth o bobl dalentog at ei gilydd i'n helpu ni â'r gorchwyl hwn, o dan arweinyddiaeth Judith Phillips. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd y grŵp eisiau ymgynghori'n helaeth wrth chwilio am atebion ymarferol. Bydd angen i Awdurdodau Lleol, cymdeithasau tai, adeiladwyr tai, sefydliadau o'r trydydd sector a'n partneriaid ni ym meysydd iechyd a'r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol i gyd gymryd rhan. Felly hefyd bobl hŷn eu hunain. Rydw i eisiau ysgogi trafodaeth genedlaethol ynglŷn â gwella opsiynau o ran tai, ac mae angen i bobl hŷn eu hunain fod yn rhan annatod o'r drafodaeth hon.

 Bydd cyfarfod cyntaf y grŵp yn cael ei gynnal ar 17 Rhagfyr 2015\. Byddaf yn rhoi adroddiad i'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol ynglŷn â hynt y gwaith yn y Flwyddyn Newydd.

Further to my Oral Statement on 15 September, I wish to advise Assembly Members of the Chair and Members of the expert group to advise the Welsh Government on its strategy for housing an ageing population.


Earlier this year, we received an important report from one of the work streams of the Ministerial Advisory Forum on Ageing, on the housing issues facing older people in Wales. We also saw the publication of the Public Policy Institute Wales report on “Meeting the Housing Needs of an Ageing Population in Wales” which makes recommendations for action by the Welsh Government and key partners.


I am delighted Professor Judith Phillips has agreed to Chair the group. Professor Phillips is Deputy Pro\-Vice Chancellor at Swansea University and Director of the Centre for Ageing and Dementia Research Wales. She brings a wealth of knowledge and relevant experience in this area.


The other members of the group are:


* Gary Day, Land and Planning Director of McCarthy and Stone Retirement Lifestyles Ltd
* Angela Morrison, Director of Quattro Design Architects
* Walis George, Chief Executive of Grwp Cynefin
* Robin Tetlow, Chairman of Tetlow King Planning Ltd
* Ruth Marks, Chief Executive Wales Council for Voluntary Action
* Ceri Jackson, Director of RNIB Cymru and Chair of Age Alliance Wales
* Lorraine Morgan, Consultant on Ageing. Promoting the social model of ageing in: "Health, Social Care, Education and Housing"
* Alan Hatton Yeo, retired CEO of Beth Johnson Foundation and lead of Age Friendly Wales programme, Volunteering Matters Wales
* Dr Sarah Hillcoat\-Nallétamby, Associate Professor, Social Policy and Ageing, Centre for Innovative Ageing, Swansea University
* Councillor Dyfed Edwards, Leader Gwynedd County Council and WLGA Housing Spokesperson
* Parry Davies, Current Director with responsibility for Social Services and Housing Services in Ceredigion County Council
* Dr Malcom Fisk, Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility, De Montfort University and Senior Research Fellow
* Dr. Chrissie Pickin, Executive Director of Health and Wellbeing, Public Health Wales
* Sarah Rochira Older People’s Commissioner for Wales.


The central challenge for the group will be to advise on the practical steps which can be taken to widen housing options for older people. It will be able to reflect upon and complement the reports already issued by the Ministerial Advisory Group on Ageing and the Public Policy Institute Wales. Housing needs to become an even more prominent element of our ambition to make Wales a great place in which to grow old. We should be prepared to learn from good practice on how this can be achieved both here in Wales and further afield.


I am pleased we have been able to assemble such a range of talents under Judith Phillips’ leadership to assist us with this task. I am sure the group will wish to consult widely as it seeks practical solutions. Local authorities, housing associations, house builders, third sector organisations, and our partners in health and social services will all need to be involved. So will older people themselves. I want to kick off a national debate about improving housing options and older people themselves need to be at the heart of this debate.


The first meeting of the group will take place on 17 December 2015\. I will report to the National Assembly on progress in the New Year.
