Dyma ddatganiad ysgrifenedig pellach yn dilyn fy natganiad ysgrifenedig ar 20 Ebrill 2023 a roddodd yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am y cynnig cyflog i staff yr Agenda ar gyfer Newid ar gyfer 2022\-23 a 2023\-24\.


Ddoe, rhoddodd ochr undebau llafur y GIG wybod i Lywodraeth Cymru mai eu penderfyniad cyfunol yw derbyn y cynnig cyflog dwy flynedd a amlinellais yn fy natganiad blaenorol.


Rwy’n falch bod aelodau’r undebau, ar y cyfan, wedi derbyn ein cynnig ac rwy’n ddiolchgar i’n holl undebau am weithio gyda ni mewn partneriaeth gymdeithasol.


Rwyf felly wedi penderfynu gweithredu’r cynnig ar gyfer holl staff yr Agenda ar gyfer Newid yn GIG Cymru. Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd ati ar unwaith i ddechrau’r broses ar gyfer gwneud y dyfarniad cyflog fel y bydd gweithwyr yn cael y taliadau cyn gynted ag y bo’n ymarferol.


Ceir elfennau pwysig nad ydynt yn ymwneud â chyflog yn y cynnig sydd wedi’i dderbyn a byddwn ni’n dechrau trafodaethau mewn partneriaeth gymdeithasol i fynd ati i weithredu’r rhain heb oedi. Byddwn ni’n cwrdd ag undebau’r GIG a’r cyflogwyr mewn pwyllgor partneriaeth arferol heddiw pan fyddwn yn dechrau’r drafodaeth hon.


Daeth y cynnig a wnaethom o ganlyniad i negodiadau a oedd yn heriol i bob ochr. Rydym wedi bod yn dryloyw ynglŷn â’r sefyllfa ariannol anodd sy’n wynebu Llywodraeth Cymru heb gyllid ychwanegol gan San Steffan. Bu’n rhaid gwneud penderfyniadau anodd ar draws holl adrannau Llywodraeth Cymru ac o fewn y gyllideb iechyd a gofal er mwyn llunio’r cynnig a wnaethom. Nid yw’r sefyllfa wedi newid a hyd yma nid oes unrhyw arwydd o gyllid ychwanegol gan drysorlys y DU.


Mae dau undeb yn dal i fod mewn anghydfod ynghylch dyfarniad cyflog 2022\-23 ac rwy’n cydnabod teimladau cryf aelodau pob undeb, ni waeth a wnaethant bleidleisio i dderbyn y cynnig neu ei wrthod. Gan gynnal y cydgytundeb, byddwn ni’n parhau â thrafodaethau pan allwn ni er mwyn rhoi sylw i bryderon penodol dilys ac osgoi unrhyw weithredu diwydiannol pellach.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo o hyd i weithio mewn partneriaeth gymdeithasol deirochrog, drwy Fforwm Partneriaeth Cymru, i sicrhau bywydau gweithio gwell i staff y GIG a gwasanaethau cyhoeddus gwell i’n pobl.

Further to my written statement of 20th April 2023 which provided an update on the pay offer for Agenda for Change staff for 2022\-23 and 2023\-24\.


The NHS trade union side yesterday informed Welsh Government that their collective decision is to accept the two year pay offer which I outlined in my previous statement.


I am pleased that, overall, union members have accepted our offer and am grateful to all our unions for working with us in social partnership.


I have therefore decided to implement the offer for all Welsh NHS Agenda for Change staff and Welsh Government will immediately begin the process for making the pay award so that workers receive the payments as soon as practicable.


There are important non\-pay elements in the accepted offer and we will begin discussions in social partnership to move to implementation without delay.  We will be meeting NHS unions and employers at a regular partnership committee today where we will begin this discussion.


The offer we made came as a result of negotiations which were challenging for all sides. We have been transparent regarding the difficult financial position facing the Welsh Government without additional funding from Westminster.  Hard decisions have had to be taken across all Welsh Government departments and within the health and care budget to reach the position we have.  This position has not changed and to date there has been no indication of additional funding from UK treasury.


Two unions remain in dispute regarding the 2022\-23 pay award and I do recognise the strength of feeling amongst members of all unions whether they voted to accept or to reject. While maintaining the collective agreement, we will continue discussions where we can in order to seek to address legitimate specific concerns and to avoid any further industrial action.


Welsh Government remains fully committed to working in tripartite social partnership, through our Welsh Partnership Forum, to deliver better working lives for NHS staff and better public services for our people.
