Mae’r arian hwn ar ben y £40m a ryddhawyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru i awdurdodau lleol ym mis Ebrill i helpu’r sector gofal cymdeithasol i oedolion.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog:



> Mae gofal cymdeithasol yn chwarae rhan flaenllaw i gefnogi rhai o'r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymunedau. Mae wedi bod yn allweddol i'n hymdrech ar draws gwasanaethau cyhoeddus i ymateb i'r heriau a wynebir yn sgil COVID\-19\.
> 
> 
> “Helpodd y taliad cychwynnol o £40m y sector i fodloni’r costau cynyddol a ysgwyddwyd yn ystod y pandemig mewn meysydd fel staffio, mwy o waith rheoli haint, prisiau bwyd uwch a mwy o ddefnydd o TGCh i gadw teuluoedd mewn cysylltiad â'u hanwyliaid pan nad oedd modd iddynt gwrdd â'i gilydd mwyach.
> 
> 
> Bydd y cyllid pellach hwn yn sicrhau y gall darparwyr gofal cymdeithasol i oedolion barhau i gynnig gofal hanfodol o dan amgylchiadau heriol parhaus.


Mae hyn yn arbennig o wir yn achos cartrefi gofal, sydd bellach hefyd yn wynebu heriau ariannol yn sgil colli incwm o ganlyniad i'r ffaith bod mwy o leoedd gwag yn eu cartrefi oherwydd yr angen i gyfyngu ar nifer y preswylwyr newydd a dderbynnir er mwyn atal y feirws rhag lledaenu.


Bydd y cyllid ar gael ar unwaith ac yn parhau i fod ar gael hyd ddiwedd mis Medi, pan fyddwn yn adolygu’r sefyllfa unwaith eto.


Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog:



> Mae’r gweithlu gofal cymdeithasol ar reng flaen yr ymdrech anferth hon i ymateb i bandemig y coronafeirws ac rydym wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi pob unigolyn i wneud ei waith.
> 
> 
> Mae dyled pob un ohonom yng Nghymru yn fawr iddynt. Fe hoffwn i ddiolch yn bersonol i’n gweithlu gofal cymdeithasol am ei ymdrechion gwych i ddiogelu’r cyhoedd.

The money is in addition to the £40m Welsh Government made available to local authorities in April to assist the adult social care sector.


The Minister said:



> Social care plays a vital role in supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our communities and has been on the front line in our effort across public services to meet the challenges posed by COVID\-19\.
> 
> 
> The initial payment of £40m helped the sector meet the rising costs incurred during the pandemic in areas such as staffing, increased infection control, higher food prices and greater use of ICT to keep families in touch with their loved ones where they were no longer able to meet.
> 
> 
> This further funding will ensure adult social care providers can maintain their vital care in what continues to be challenging circumstances.


This is particularly so in the case of care homes, who are now also facing financial challenges through loss of income as a result of increased vacancies in their homes due to the need to restrict new admissions to contain the virus.


The funding will be made available immediately and continue until the end of September after which the situation will be reviewed again.


The Minister added:



> The social care workforce is on the front line of this huge effort to respond to the coronavirus pandemic and we are committed to supporting every single person do their job.
> 
> 
> Every one of us in Wales owes them a debt of gratitude. I want to personally thank our social care workforce for their fantastic efforts in protecting the public.
