Ar 23 Rhagfyr 2020, cyhoeddais y byddwn yn darparu cyllid ychwanegol o £5\.6m i gontractwyr fferylliaeth gymunedol i dalu’r costau ychwanegol a ysgwyddwyd yn ystod pandemig COVID\-19\.


Llwyddwyd i ddarparu’r cyllid yn uniongyrchol i gontractwyr yn gynnar yn y flwyddyn newydd, ynghyd â hyd at £0\.6m ar gyfer costau gwasanaeth fferyllfeydd o ddarparu’r brechlyn ffliw tymhorol sy’n dod gan y Llywodraeth, ac sy’n cael ei roi mewn fferyllfeydd.


Gwarantais hefyd y byddai ffioedd gwasanaeth fferyllfeydd sy’n rhan o’r Cynllun Imiwneiddio COVID\-19 Gofal Sylfaenol yn cael eu talu o’r cyllid ychwanegol. Rydym wedi gweld cynllun peilot llwyddiannus o roi brechiadau yn y Gogledd, gyda nifer o gontractwyr eraill yn dod yn rhan o’r ymdrech. Rydw i eisiau gweld rhan fferylliaeth gymunedol yn y cynllun brechu yn cynyddu dros yr ychydig wythnosau nesaf. Ar 1 Mawrth, ysgrifennodd Prif Weithredwr y GIG at Brif Weithredwyr y Byrddau Iechyd yn eu cynghori i roi trefniadau ar waith i roi contractau i fferyllfeydd cymunedol yn eu hardaloedd sy’n gallu cynnig o leiaf 100 o apwyntiadau bob wythnos, a caiff hyn ei reoli drwy systemau archebu sefydledig y byrddau iechyd.


Cytunais hefyd i ohirio ad\-daliadau pellach yn erbyn y rhagdaliad o £55m tan flwyddyn ariannol 2021\-22\. Gallaf gadarnhau bod y cam hwn wedi’i gymryd er mwyn helpu sefyllfa ariannol fferyllfeydd cymunedol.


Yn olaf, cadarnheais y byddai trafodaethau pellach gyda Fferylliaeth Gymunedol Cymru yn cael eu cynnal, petai adnoddau yn dod ar gael cyn diwedd y flwyddyn ariannol.


Heddiw, mae’n bleser mawr gen i gadarnhau y bydd £3\.5m yn rhagor yn cael ei ddarparu i gontractwyr fferylliaeth gymunedol, gan fodloni cynnig ffurfiol Fferylliaeth Gymunedol Cymru yn llawn.


Mae hyn yn golygu y bydd cyfanswm o £9\.1m o arian newydd wedi cael ei ddyrannu yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon i gydnabod y rhan hollbwysig y mae fferyllfeydd wedi’i chwarae yn ystod y pandemig, ym mhob un o’n cymunedau ar hyd a lled Cymru.


Edrychaf ymlaen at gael parhau â gwaith Fferylliaeth Gymunedol Cymru a’n contractwyr i adeiladu ar eu llwyddiant, a datblygu eu gwasanaethau ymhellach i gefnogi ein cymunedau wrth i ni godi o’r cyfnod anodd hwn.

On 23 December 2020 I announced I would be providing additional funding of £5\.6m to community pharmacy contractors to meet additional costs incurred during the COVIC\-19 pandemic.


This funding was able to be provided directly to contractors early in the new year, along with up to £0\.6m to pharmacies’ service costs in delivering Government sourced seasonal influenza vaccines administered by pharmacies.


I also gave a guarantee that pharmacies engaged in the Primary Care COVID\-19 Immunisation Scheme, service fees would be paid from additional funding.  We have seen a successful pilot of vaccine delivery in north Wales and a number of other contractors being engaged.  I want to see this involvement of community pharmacy increasing over the next few weeks.  On 1 March the Chief Executive of the NHS wrote to Health Board Chief Executives advising them to put in place arrangements to contract with community pharmacies in their areas which are able to deliver a minimum of 100 appointments each week, managed through the health boards’ established booking systems.


I also agreed to the deferment of further repayments against the £55m advance payment until the 2021\-22 financial year.  I can confirm this has been actioned in order to support the cash flow situation for community pharmacies.


Finally, I confirmed that further discussions with CPW would be held, should resources become available before the end of the financial year.  


I am, today, very pleased to confirm that a further £3\.5m will be provided to community pharmacy contractors, meeting CPW’s formal proposal in full. 


In total, this means new money of £9\.1m will have been allocated this financial year in recognition of the vital role pharmacies played during the height of the pandemic in all our communities, the length and breadth of Wales.


I look forward to continuing to work with CPW and our contractors in building on their success and in developing their services further to support our communities as we emerge from these difficult times.
