Wrth siarad ar fideo a ryddhawyd heddiw ar ei sianel Twitter, cadarnhaodd y Gweinidog y byddai o leiaf £420,000 ar gael ar unwaith i gefnogi awdurdodau lleol i ddarparu’r ‘gwasanaeth hollbwysig’ hwn.


Mae cynnal y ddarpariaeth prydau ysgol am ddim wedi bod yn un o brif flaenoriaethau Llywodraeth Cymru wrth ymateb i bandemig y coronafeirws.


Pan gyhoeddodd y Gweinidog ei bod am gau ysgolion ddydd Mercher, Mawrth 18, rhoddodd sicrwydd yn fuan y byddai £7 miliwn ar gael i awdurdodau lleol i sefydlu mesurau i ofalu bod plant sy’n gymwys am brydau ysgol am ddim yn parhau i gael manteisio ar y cynllun hwn.


Yna, ar Ebrill 22, Cymru oedd y wlad gyntaf yn y DU i warantu cyllid i blant er mwyn iddynt barhau i gael prydau ysgol am ddim hyd at a chan gynnwys diwedd gwyliau’r haf.  

  

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Addysg:



> Mae’n hollbwysig bod plant sy’n cael prydau ysgol am ddim yn gallu parhau i gael y cymorth hwn, p’un a ydyn nhw yn yr ysgol neu gartref am eu bod yn hunanwarchod neu’n hunanynysu.
> 
> 
> Rydyn ni wedi gweithio’n ddiflino eleni i ymateb i bandemig y coronafeirws a’r heriau di\-ri sydd wedi dod yn ei sgil, ond dydyn ni ddim wedi, a wnawn ni ddim anghofio’r rheini y mae’r ysgol yn gymaint mwy iddyn nhw na lleoliad addysg yn unig.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, Julie James:



> Mae sicrhau bod plant yn dal i allu cael prydau ysgol am ddim, p’un a ydyn nhw yn adeilad yr ysgol ai peidio, wedi bod yn flaenoriaeth i Lywodraeth Cymru, ac mae’r cyhoeddiad hwn yn ailgadarnhau’r ymrwymiad.
> 
> 
> Bydd y cyllid hwn yn caniatáu i awdurdodau lleol ofalu nad yw un plentyn yn colli’r gwasanaeth hollbwysig yma, a byddaf yn parhau i weithio gydag awdurdodau lleol i sicrhau eu bod yn gallu cyflawni’r gwasanaeth allweddol hwn ac ymateb i’r pandemig.

Speaking on a video released today on her Twitter channel, the Minister confirmed at least £420,000 would be made available immediately to support local authorities deliver this ‘vital service’.


Ensuring the continuation of free school meal provision has been a key priority for the Welsh Government as it has responded to the coronavirus pandemic.


When the Minister announced she would close schools on Wednesday, March 18 she quickly confirmed that £7 million would be made available to local authorities to put in place measures to ensure that children eligible for free school meals would continue to benefit from this scheme.


Then on April 22 Wales became the first country in the UK to guarantee ongoing funding for children to continue to benefit from free school meal provision up to and including the end of the summer holidays  

  

Education Minister Kirsty Williams said:



> It is vital that children who receive free school meals are able to continue to benefit from this support whether they are in school or at home because they are shielding or self\-isolating.
> 
> 
> We have worked tirelessly this year to respond to the coronavirus pandemic and the countless challenges it is has presented but we have not, and will not, forget those for who school is about far more than education.


The Minister for Housing and Local Government, Julie James said:



> Ensuring children can continue to receive free school meals whether they are physically in a school building or not has been a priority for the Welsh Government and this announcement reconfirms this commitment.
> 
> 
> This funding will allow local authorities to ensure no child misses out on this vital service and I will continue to work with Local Authorities to ensure they can are able to deliver key services and respond to the pandemic.
