To mark Carers Rights Day, the Minister for Children and Social Care, Huw Irranca\-Davies, has reaffirmed the Welsh Government commitment to carers with £1m to address three new national priorities to further improve the support available to carers by focusing on the issues that matter most to them. 

There are 370,000 carers in Wales \- around 12% of the population. They provide 96% of the care in the communities across Wales and contribute more than £8\.1bn to the Welsh economy every year.

In Wales, under the Social Services and Well\-being (Wales) Act, which came into force in 2016, carers have an equal right to have their needs assessment as those they care for. If carers have eligible needs, the local authority must meet those needs through a carers support plan.

The three national priorities are:

* Supporting life alongside caring \- All carers must have reasonable breaks from their caring role to enable them to maintain their capacity to care, and to have a life beyond caring.
* Identifying and recognising carers \- Carers deserve to be recognised and supported so that they can continue to care. It is vital that carers identify themselves as carers.
* Providing information, advice and assistance \- It is important that carers receive the right information and advice when they need it and in an appropriate format.

Huw Irranca\-Davies said:
> “To mark Carers rights day, I want to say thank you to the thousands of unpaid carers of all ages across Wales for their ongoing dedication, contribution and the invaluable difference they make to those they care for, their families, and the wider community.
> 
> “We know that making the difference sometimes means a carers’ own health and wellbeing can become neglected and we cannot let this happen.
> 
> “The Welsh Government is firmly committed to ensuring the rights of all unpaid carers are enhanced and protected. Our vision for carers in Wales is one where communities foster a carer friendly approach, identifying and supporting carers so that they are not disadvantaged or discriminated as a result of their caring role.
> 
> “For every carer, no matter how many hours of care they provide, caring must be a positive experience where carers feel confident in their caring role and supported to maintain a normal life as possible.”

I nodi Diwrnod Hawliau Gofalwyr, mae'r Gweinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Phlant, Huw Irranca\-Davies, wedi pwysleisio ymrwymiad Llywodraeth Cymru i ofalwyr drwy ddarparu £1m i fynd i'r afael â thair blaenoriaeth genedlaethol newydd i wella'r cymorth sydd ar gael i ofalwyr ymhellach drwy ganolbwyntio ar y materion sydd bwysicaf iddyn nhw.

Mae dros 370,000 o ofalwyr yng Nghymru – tua 12% o'r boblogaeth. Nhw sy'n darparu 96% o'r gofal yn y cymunedau yng Nghymru, ac maen nhw'n cyfrannu dros £8\.1bn i economi Cymru bob blwyddyn.

Yng Nghymru, mae gan ofalwyr yr un hawl i gael asesiad o'u hanghenion â'r rheini maen nhw'n gofalu amdanynt, o dan Ddeddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) a ddaeth i rym yn 2016\. Os oes gan ofalwyr anghenion cymwys, mae'n rhaid i'r awdurdod lleol ateb yr anghenion hynny drwy gynllun cymorth i ofalwyr. 

Y tair blaenoriaeth genedlaethol yw:

* Helpu i fyw yn ogystal â gofalu – Rhaid i bob gofalwr gael seibiannau rhesymol o ofalu er mwyn iddynt allu parhau i wneud hynny, ac i gael bywyd eu hunain y tu hwnt i ofalu.
* Adnabod a chydnabod gofalwyr – Mae gofalwyr yn haeddu cael eu hadnabod a'u cefnogi er mwyn iddynt allu parhau i ofalu. Mae'n hanfodol eu bod yn adnabod eu hunain fel gofalwyr.
* Darparu gwybodaeth, cyngor a chymorth i ofalwyr – Mae'n bwysig bod gofalwyr yn cael yr wybodaeth a'r cyngor cywir yn ôl yr angen ac mewn fformat priodol.

Dywedodd Huw Irranca\-Davies: 
> "I nodi diwrnod hawliau gofalwyr, rwyf am ddiolch i'r miloedd o ofalwyr di\-dâl o bob oed yng Nghymru am eu hymrwymiad a'u cyfraniad parhaus yn ogystal â'r ffordd y maen nhw’n newid bywydau y rheini maen nhw'n gofalu amdanynt, eu teuluoedd a'r gymuned ehangach.


> "Rydyn ni'n gwybod bod modd anghofio am iechyd a lles y gofalwr ei hun wrth iddo fynd ati i ofalu a gwneud gwahaniaeth, ac ni allwn adael i hyn ddigwydd.
> 
> “Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo'n llawn i sicrhau bod hawliau'r holl ofalwyr di\-dâl yn cael eu gwella a'u diogelu. Ein gweledigaeth i ofalwyr Cymru yw iddyn nhw fod yn rhan o gymunedau sy'n ystyriol ohonynt, gan eu hadnabod a’u cefnogi fel nad ydyn nhw dan anfantais nac yn cael eu gwahaniaethu oherwydd eu rôl yn gofalu.
> 
> "Rhaid i ofalu fod yn brofiad cadarnhaol i bob gofalwr ni waeth sawl awr maen nhw'n ei ddarparu. Rhaid iddyn nhw hefyd deimlo'n hyderus a chael y gefnogaeth i fyw bywyd mor normal â phosibl."
