The Care Bill (the “Bill”) was introduced in the House of Lords on the 9 May 2013\. A number of amendments have been made to the Bill since its introduction.  Certain amendments tabled on October 7, in respect of mental health after care will modify the functions of the Welsh Ministers.


This written statement is laid under Standing Order 30 \- Notification in relation to UK Parliament Bills.  


The UK Government has stated that its policy aims are to improve standards and quality across the care sector and to modernise the law so that it prioritises the well\-being of individuals and enables all those needing health and social care to get good care.


Clause 71(4\) of the Bill makes relevant provision which modifies the functions of Welsh Ministers in relation to mental health after care support for people in Wales.


This provision is part of a suite of measures that will clarify the responsibilities of local authorities to secure the provision of after care services to vulnerable people (children and adults ) when they move or are placed across the borders from Wales to England or vice versa.


Clause 71(4\) of the Bill will insert subsections (4\)(c) and (4A) into section 117 of the 1983 Act which will modify the functions of Welsh Ministers in relation to powers to determine disputes about the ordinary residence status of a person entitled to after\-care under section 117 of the 1983 Act (as amended) where one or more of the parties is a local authority in England and one or more of the parties is a local authority in Wales. It will also place a duty on the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers to make and publish arrangements for determining which of them is to determine such a dispute.


The Welsh Government considers that it is appropriate for the provision made in clause 71(4\) of the Bill to apply in relation to Wales, and for such provision to be included in the Care Bill. The provisions deal with disputes about a person’s ordinary residence status where the parties to the dispute include one or more local authorities in England and one or more local authorities in Wales.


Disputes under section 117(3\) of the 1983 Act are currently determined by the courts. The provision will empower the Welsh Ministers and Secretary of State to determine disputes which involve both English and Welsh local authorities about the ordinary residence status of a person entitled to after care services under section 117 of the 1983 Act in accordance with a protocol which they are required to develop and publish.


It is considered appropriate for these provisions to be made by means of the Care Bill, because the provisions could not be made by an Assembly Act.

Cyflwynwyd y Bil Gofal (y “Bil”) yn Nhŷ’r Arglwyddi ar 9 Mai 2013\. Mae nifer o welliannau wedi cael eu gwneud i’r Bil ers ei gyflwyno.  Bydd gwelliannau penodol a gyflwynwyd ar 7 Hydref mewn perthynas ag ôl\-ofal iechyd meddwl yn addasu swyddogaethau Gweinidogion Cymru.

Gosodir y datganiad ysgrifenedig hwn o dan Reol Sefydlog 30 – Hysbysiad mewn perthynas â Biliau Seneddol y DU.  

Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi datgan mai ei nodau polisi yw gwella safonau ac ansawdd ar draws y sector gofal a moderneiddio’r gyfraith fel bod lles unigolion yn flaenoriaeth, ynghyd â galluogi’r rheini sydd angen gofal iechyd a chymdeithasol i gael gofal da.

Mae cymal 71(4\) o’r Bil yn gwneud darpariaeth berthnasol sy’n addasu swyddogaethau Gweinidogion Cymru o ran cymorth ôl\-ofal iechyd meddwl i bobl Cymru.

Mae’r ddarpariaeth hon yn rhan o gyfres o fesurau a fydd yn gwneud cyfrifoldebau awdurdodau lleol yn gliriach o ran sicrhau bod gwasanaethau ôl\-ofal yn cael eu darparu i bobl sy’n agored i niwed (plant ac oedolion) pan fyddant yn symud neu’n cael eu lleoli ar draws ffiniau o Gymru i Loegr, neu i’r gwrthwyneb.

Bydd cymal 71(4\) o’r Bil yn mewnosod isadrannau (4\)(c) a (4A) i adran  117 o Ddeddf 1983, a fydd yn addasu swyddogaethau Gweinidogion Cymru mewn perthynas â phwerau i bhenderfynu ar anghydfodau ynghylch statws preswyl arferol person sydd â hawl i wasanaeth ôl\-ofal o dan adran 117 o Ddeddf 1983 (fel y’i diwygiwyd) pan fo partïon i’r anghydfod yn cynnwys un awdurdod lleol neu ragor o Loegr ac un awdurdod lleol neu ragor o Gymru. Bydd hefyd yn rhoi dyletswydd ar yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol a Gweinidogion Cymru i wneud trefniadau i bennu pwy fydd yn penderfynu ar anghydfod o’r fath.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystyried ei bod yn briodol i’r ddarpariaeth a wneir yng nghymal 71(4\) o’r Bil fod yn gymwys i Gymru ac y dylai’r ddarpariaeth honno fod yn y Bil Gofal. Mae’r darpariaethau’n ymwneud ag anghydfodau ynglŷn â statws preswyl arferol person pan fo partïon i’r anghydfod yn cynnwys un awdurdod lleol neu ragor o Loegr ac un awdurdod lleol neu ragor o Gymru.

Ar hyn o bryd, y llysoedd sy’n penderfynu ynghylch anghydfodau o dan adran 117(3\) o Ddeddf 1983\. Bydd y ddarpariaeth yn rhoi pŵer i Weinidogion Cymru a’r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol wneud penderfyniad ynghylch anghydfodau sy’n ymwneud ag awdurdodau lleol o Loegr ac o Gymru ynghylch statws preswyl arferol person sydd â hawl i wasanaeth ôl\-ofal o dan adran 117 o Ddeddf 1983 yn weinyddol yn unol â phrotocol y mae gofyn iddynt ei ddatblygu a’i gyhoeddi.

Ystyrir mai priodol fyddai gwneud y darpariaethau hyn drwy gyfrwng y Bil Gofal, oherwydd na ellir gwneud y darpariaethau drwy Ddeddf y Cynulliad.
