Housing and Regeneration Minister, Rebecca Evans and Minister for Children, Older People and Social Care, Huw Irranca\-Davies made the announcement during a visit to an Extra Care housing and care scheme being built in Maesteg. 

The Integrated Care Fund, set up to support the integration of health, social care and housing , will receive a £75m boost over three years, in a bid to create more large\-scale housing which integrates social care as well as other innovative approaches to the integration of health and social care. This capital funding is in addition to the £50m revenue element of the Fund announced in April this year. 

The fund will support the aims of “A Healthier Wales: our Plan for Health and Social Care” – which recognises the significant role appropriate housing can play in moving health and social services closer to communities.

The fund will help improve long term planning and increase the focus on how homes can make a difference to health. 

Appropriate housing can support people to maintain their independence and can provide the right environment for people leaving hospital \- reducing delays in discharging patients. It can also support older people, people with dementia or learning disabilities, or complex needs, and enable social services to provide them with more effective care. All of this can help the NHS and social services operate more effectively.

Rebecca Evans and Huw Irranca\-Davies visited the site of Maesteg Extra Care Scheme, a development of bungalows, extra care apartments and residential care bedrooms and a range of communal facilities including dining room, lounge, laundry room, salon, activity rooms and communal gardens. The scheme is due to be completed in November this year and will provide housing for older and vulnerable people in the local area. 

Rebecca Evans said:


> “This significant funding boost is aimed at helping those who need it to receive the right support, whether they are older people with complex needs and long term conditions, people with learning disabilities, children with complex health needs, or carers.


> “We recognise how important housing can be to health. Housing can make a real difference in the lives of people \- helping older people stay independent and out of care homes or hospital, for example.


> “A three year programme will allow health boards, councils, housing associations and other bodies to plan carefully and manage larger projects to meet the needs of people locally. I am looking forward to seeing many more projects like this one come to fruition.”

Huw Irranca\-Davies said:


> “This significant increase in funding will help to deliver more projects that help people to live the lives they want to lead, while meeting their healthcare, or social care needs.


> “Crucially, it will also help ensure that people can be discharged to appropriate support when they no longer need a hospital bed, freeing up NHS resources.


> “Not all the funding will be about delivering housing\-based projects, but we will continue to focus on providing seamless services, care closer to home, and helping people to live independent lives.”

Bydd hefyd yn help i adeiladu cartrefi i gynorthwyo pobl i fyw'n annibynnol yn eu cymunedau, yn ôl cyhoeddiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru heddiw.

Gwnaed y cyhoeddiad gan Rebecca Evans y Gweinidog Tai ac Adfywio a Huw Irranca\-Davies, y Gweinidog Plant, Pobl Hŷn a Gofal Cymdeithasol, yn ystod eu hymweliad â datblygiad gan Gynllun Tai a Gofal o dan adain Cynllun Gofal Ychwanegol ym Maesteg.

Bydd y Gronfa Gofal Integredig, a sefydlwyd i gefnogi integreiddio iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol a thai, yn cael hwb ariannol o £75 miliwn dros dair blynedd. Y nod yw adeiladu tai ar raddfa fwy, sy'n integreiddio gofal cymdeithasol ynghyd â dulliau arloesol eraill o integreiddio iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. Mae'r cyllid cyfalaf hwn yn ychwanegol at yr elfen refeniw o'r gronfa a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Ebrill eleni, sydd yn £50 miliwn.

Bydd hyn yn cefnogi nodau “Cymru Iachach: ein Cynllun Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol” \- sy'n cydnabod pa mor bwysig yw cael tai priodol, a'r effaith a gaiff hyn ar allu pobl i symud gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yn nes at gymunedau.

Bydd y gronfa yn help i wella cynllunio hirdymor a chynyddu’r ffocws ar y modd y gall tai wneud gwahaniaeth i iechyd pobl.

Gall tai priodol helpu pobl i gynnal eu hannibyniaeth a darparu'r amgylchedd gywir i bobl sy'n gadael yr ysbyty, gan leihau'r achosion o oedi o ran rhyddhau cleifion. Mae modd iddo hefyd gefnogi pobl hŷn , pobl sydd â dementia, anableddau dysgu neu anghenion cymhleth, a galluogi'r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol i ddarparu gofal mwy effeithiol iddynt. Gall hyn i gyd helpu'r Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol a'r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol i redeg yn fwy effeithiol.

Bu Rebecca Evans a Huw Irranca\-Davies yn ymweld â safle Cynllun Gofal Ychwanegol Maesteg, lle mae datblygiad yn mynd rhagddo sy’n cynnwys byngalos, fflatiau gofal ychwanegol ac ystafelloedd gwely gofal preswyl ac ystod o gyfleusterau cymunol sy'n cynnwys ystafell fwyta, lolfa, ystafell golchi dillad, salon, ystafelloedd gweithgareddau a gerddi cymunol. Mae disgwyl y bydd y datblygiad wedi ei gwblhau ym mis Tachwedd a bydd yn darparu tai i bobl hŷn a phobl sy'n agored i niwed yn yr ardal leol.

Dywedodd Rebecca Evans:


> “Mae'r cynnydd sylweddol hwn o ran cyllid yno i gael y gefnogaeth iawn i’r bobl sydd ei angen, p'un a ydynt yn bobl hŷn ag anghenion cymhleth a chyflyrau hirdymor, pobol sydd ag anableddau dysgu, plant sydd ag anghenion iechyd cymhleth, neu'n ofalwyr.
> 
> “Rydym yn cydnabod pa mor bwysig y gallai tai fod i iechyd pobl. Efallai y gall y math o dai gefnogi pobl hŷn, sy’n ei chael hi’n anodd i wneud popeth drostynt eu hunain bellach.  Mae tai yn gallu gwneud gwahaniaeth go iawn i fywydau pobl \- yn helpu pobl hŷn i aros yn annibynnol, heb orfod mynd i gartref gofal neu i ysbyty er enghraifft.
> 
> “Bydd rhaglen tair blynedd yn caniatáu i fyrddau iechyd, cynghorau, cymdeithasau tai a chyrff eraill wneud gwaith cynllunio gofalus a rheoli prosiectau mwy i ddiwallu anghenion pobl yn lleol. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld llawer mwy o brosiectau fel hyn yn dwyn ffrwyth.”

Dywedodd Huw Irranca\-Davies:


> “Mae'r cynnydd sylweddol hwn yn mynd i helpu i gyflawni mwy o brosiectau sy'n rhoi cymorth i bobl fyw'r bywydau y maent am eu harwain, wrth ddiwallu eu hanghenion gofal iechyd, neu eu hanghenion gofal cymdeithasol.
> 
> “Yn bwysicach na hynny, bydd hefyd yn sicrhau bod modd rhyddhau pobl a rhoi'r gefnogaeth berthnasol iddynt pan nad oes angen gwely mewn ysbyty arnynt mwyach, sy'n rhyddhau adnoddau’r Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol.
> 
> “Nid yw'r holl gyllid yn cael ei roi i gyflenwi prosiectau tai, ond byddwn yn parhau i ganolbwyntio ar ddarparu  gwasanaethau di\-dor, gofal yn nes at y cartref a chynorthwyo pobl i fyw bywydau annibynnol.”
