Wrth inni nodi’r Wythnos Gofalwyr, hoffwn dalu teyrnged i ofalwyr di\-dâl ledled Cymru, sy’n gwneud cyfraniad enfawr bob dydd drwy ofalu am anwyliaid, cyfeillion a pherthnasau, yn enwedig yn ystod y pandemig COVID\-19\. Mae’n bwysig bod y cyfraniad hwnnw’n yn cael ei barchu a’i werthfawrogi gan bob un ohonom.


Yn ystod yr wythnos hon, rydym yn dathlu’r miloedd o ofalwyr di\-dâl nad yw eu harwriaeth yn cael y sylw haeddiannol yn aml iawn. Maent yn rhan annatod o system iechyd a gofal Cymru, ac mae angen inni eu cefnogi mewn modd sy’n eu galluogi i ofalu am eu hiechyd a’u llesiant eu hunain.


Mae gofalwyr di\-dâl wedi dweud pa mor anodd yw hi iddynt gael y seibiant amserol a phriodol y mae ei angen i’w helpu i reoli eu hiechyd a’u llesiant eu hunain. Nid yw seibiant bellach yn golygu rhoi cyfle i’r unigolyn sydd ag anghenion gofal aros mewn cartref gofal dros nos, neu fanteisio ar wasanaeth gwarchod dros nos. Gall seibiannau ddigwydd mewn llawer o wahanol ffyrdd \- o gael amser i ymlacio a mwynhau bod gyda theulu a ffrindiau, i gael egwyl yng nghwmni’r unigolyn y maent yn gofalu amdano, neu hebddo.


Er mwyn ymateb i’r angen i gael seibiant, rydym yn darparu £3m yn 2021\-22 i gefnogi gofal seibiant brys a datblygu cronfa ar gyfer galluogi pobl i gael egwyl fer.


Yn y lle cyntaf, rhoddir £1\.75m i awdurdodau lleol Cymru i’w helpu i ddiwallu’r angen mawr am seibiant ymysg gofalwyr, gan gynnwys gofalwyr ifanc, wrth i gyfyngiadau’r coronafeirws gael eu llacio.


Yn ystod yr ail gam, darperir £1\.25m i ddatblygu cronfa ar gyfer galluogi pobl i gael egwyl fer, gan weithio gyda’r sector lletygarwch, i ddarparu amrywiaeth o seibiannau. Yn gynharach eleni, fe wnaethom gomisiynu ymchwil gan Ymddiriedolaeth Gofalwyr Cymru ac academyddion arweiniol o brifysgolion Bangor ac Abertawe, i’n helpu i fodelu’r gronfa newydd.


Mae sicrhau bod pob gofalwr yn weladwy ac yn cael ei werthfawrogi yn hanfodol er mwyn iddo allu manteisio ar ei hawliau o dan Ddeddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014\. Lansiwyd strategaeth newydd ar gyfer gofalwyr di\-dâl ym mis Mawrth, ac rydym am ail\-gadarnhau ein hymrwymiad i weithio gyda rhanddeiliaid ar draws y sectorau, yn ogystal â’r gofalwyr i sicrhau eu bod yn gallu cael yr wybodaeth, y cyngor a’r cymorth priodol.

As we mark Carers’ Week, I want to pay tribute to unpaid carers throughout Wales, whose everyday efforts to look after loved ones, friends and relatives, particularly during this Covid 19 pandemic, should be respected and valued by all of us.


This week we celebrate the many tens of thousands of unpaid carers, who are too often the unsung heroes. They are an integral part of Wales’ health and care system and we need to support help and them to look after their own health and wellbeing.


Unpaid carers have spoken of difficulties accessing timely and appropriate respite and breaks to help them manage their own health and wellbeing. Respite is no longer just an overnight stay in a care home or an overnight sitting service for the person with care needs. It can take many forms – from having time to switch off and enjoy being with family and friends to a short break with or without the person being cared for.


To help address these respite needs, we are providing £3m in 2021\-22 to support emergency respite care and the development of a short breaks fund.


In the first phase, £1\.75m is being provided to Wales’ 22 local authorities to help meet the pressing need for respite among carers, including young carers, as the coronavirus restrictions are relaxed.


In phase two, £1\.25m will develop a short breaks fund, working with the hospitality sector, to provide a range of short breaks. We commissioned research earlier this year from Carers Trust Wales and leading academics from Bangor and Swansea universities, to help us model the new fund.


Ensuring all carers are visible and valued is vital to ensure they are able to access their rights under the Social Services and Well\-being Wales Act 2014\. We launched a new strategy for unpaid carers in March and we are reaffirming our commitment to work with stakeholders across sectors and carers to ensure they have access to the right information, advice and support.
