English: I thank you very much for those questions and I very much appreciate the fact that you think we can all get behind changes to the system. The principles of the 2014 Act are reiterated in everything that we plan to do, with person-centred social care working to bring social care and health together. What the statement is doing today is as a result of the publication of the consultation that we have just published and to draw the attention of Members to the choices that now lie ahead of us, taking into consideration what's been said in the consultation and in the further proposals that we will be working on, engaging service users and working with different parts of the sector. The 2014 Act was totally committed to working in a co-productive way, to work closely with the different stakeholders, and we plan to do that. I've already talked to the Chamber about the fair work forum that we have created and who we'll be working very closely with in all these developments. So, I want to assure the Member that we will be working with the sector to come up with solutions, and the purpose of the statement today is to highlight the fact that the consultation has finished and we've published the result of that consultation. He referred to the new chief social care officer. This is bringing social care on a parity with the chief medical officer, for example. And it is very important, I think, for highlighting the importance of the profession that we do have a chief social care officer. I note that he believes that any national unit should be independent. That was the view that was reflected by some of the responses to the consultation document, and obviously that is something that we will consider. We work very closely with the independent sector. I meet with the chair of Care Forum Wales on a regular basis and they have worked with us through the whole of the pandemic very closely. So, certainly the independent sector are going to be a key part of how we take things forward, because, of course, in terms of residential care, about 80 per cent of the provision is in the independent sector.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr i chi am y cwestiynau hynny ac rwy'n gwerthfawrogi'n fawr y ffaith eich bod chi'n credu y gallwn ni i gyd gefnogi newidiadau i'r system. Mae egwyddorion Deddf 2014 wedi eu hailadrodd ym mhob dim yr ydym yn bwriadu ei wneud, gyda gofal cymdeithasol sy'n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn yn gweithio i ddod â gofal cymdeithasol ac iechyd at ei gilydd. Mae'r hyn y mae'r datganiad yn ei wneud heddiw o ganlyniad i gyhoeddi'r ymgynghoriad yr ydym ni newydd ei gyhoeddi ac i dynnu sylw'r Aelodau at y dewisiadau sydd o'n blaenau bellach, gan ystyried yr hyn sydd wedi ei ddweud yn yr ymgynghoriad ac yn y cynigion eraill y byddwn yn gweithio arnyn nhw, gan ymgysylltu â defnyddwyr gwasanaethau a gweithio gyda gwahanol rannau o'r sector. Roedd Deddf 2014 wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i weithio mewn ffordd gydgynhyrchiol, i weithio'n agos gyda'r gwahanol randdeiliaid, ac rydym yn bwriadu gwneud hynny. Rwyf i eisoes wedi siarad â'r Siambr ynghylch y fforwm gwaith teg yr ydym ni wedi ei greu a gyda phwy y byddwn yn gweithio'n agos iawn yn ystod yr holl ddatblygiadau hyn. Felly, hoffwn i sicrhau'r Aelod y byddwn ni yn gweithio gyda'r sector i gynnig atebion, a diben y datganiad heddiw yw tynnu sylw at y ffaith bod yr ymgynghoriad wedi dod i ben a'n bod ni wedi cyhoeddi canlyniad yr ymgynghoriad hwnnw. Cyfeiriodd at y prif swyddog gofal cymdeithasol newydd. Mae hyn yn rhoi gofal cymdeithasol ar lefel gydradd â'r prif swyddog meddygol, er enghraifft. Ac mae'n bwysig iawn, yn fy marn i, fod gennym ni brif swyddog gofal cymdeithasol er mwyn tynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd y proffesiwn. Rwy'n sylwi ei fod hefyd o'r farn y dylai unrhyw uned genedlaethol fod yn annibynnol. Dyna'r farn a gafodd ei hadlewyrchu yn rhai o'r ymatebion i'r ddogfen ymgynghori, ac mae'n amlwg bod hynny yn rhywbeth y byddwn ni'n ei ystyried. Rydym ni'n gweithio'n agos iawn gyda'r sector annibynnol. Rwy'n cyfarfod â chadeirydd Fforwm Gofal Cymru yn rheolaidd ac maen nhw wedi gweithio yn agos iawn gyda ni drwy'r pandemig cyfan. Felly, yn sicr bydd y sector annibynnol yn rhan allweddol o'r ffordd yr ydym ni'n bwrw ymlaen â phethau, oherwydd, wrth gwrs, o ran gofal preswyl, mae tua 80 y cant o'r ddarpariaeth yn y sector annibynnol.
