English: Trefnydd, can I request a statement from the health Minister about the vaccination of adults with learning disabilities in residential settings? I heard what the First Minister said in response to an earlier question about the prioritisation of people with learning disabilities, because people with learning disabilities are more likely to be at serious risk of complications should they catch COVID-19. I've been contacted by a number of organisations in my constituency who are very worried that residents will have to be transported at different times for their individual vaccinations. I appreciate that the health Minister is already looking at the prioritisation issue, which I very much welcome, but given the distress this could cause, I'd be grateful if the Welsh Government could provide some clarity on the administering of vaccines to people with learning disabilities in care settings and outline what steps are being taken to ensure that residents in care facilities are able to receive their vaccines in the comfort of their own setting, rather than each resident having to travel for their vaccine appointment. I appreciate that, in response to Delyth Jewell, you said that there would be an opportunity to ask questions during the next agenda item, but I think a clear statement on this issue from the Government is important and would be very helpful. Secondly, could I also request a statement on support for care homes generally during the pandemic? Care Forum Wales has made it clear that, without vital financial support, some care homes across Wales are at risk of closure. During the pandemic, costs have gone up as care homes have had to increase staffing and implement additional infection control measures, therefore it's vital that the Welsh Government commits to a funding model that provides those settings with stability to protect those residents living in care settings and to protect future provision and ensure that the whole sector is sustainable for the future. Therefore I'd be very grateful if the Welsh Government could make time to provide a statement on its support for the sector and its plans to safeguard care homes in Wales before the end of the Senedd term.
Welsh: Trefnydd, a gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog iechyd am frechu oedolion ag anableddau dysgu mewn lleoliadau preswyl? Clywais i'r hyn a ddywedodd y Prif Weinidog mewn ymateb i gwestiwn cynharach am flaenoriaethu pobl ag anableddau dysgu, oherwydd mae pobl ag anableddau dysgu yn fwy tebygol o fod mewn perygl difrifol o gael cymhlethdodau os ydyn nhw'n dal COVID-19. Mae nifer o sefydliadau yn fy etholaeth i wedi cysylltu â mi sy'n poeni'n fawr y bydd yn rhaid cludo trigolion ar wahanol adegau ar gyfer eu brechiadau unigol. Rwy'n sylweddoli bod y Gweinidog iechyd eisoes yn edrych ar y mater blaenoriaethu, ac rwy'n croesawu hynny'n fawr. Ond o ystyried y trallod y gallai hyn ei achosi, byddwn i'n ddiolchgar pe gallai Llywodraeth Cymru roi rhywfaint o eglurder ynghylch rhoi brechlynnau i bobl ag anableddau dysgu mewn lleoliadau gofal ac amlinellu pa gamau sy'n cael eu cymryd i sicrhau bod preswylwyr mewn cyfleusterau gofal yn gallu cael eu brechlynnau yng nghysur eu lleoliad eu hunain, yn hytrach na bod pob preswylydd yn gorfod teithio ar gyfer ei apwyntiad brechlyn. Rwy'n sylweddoli ichi ddweud, mewn ymateb i Delyth Jewell, y byddai cyfle i ofyn cwestiynau yn ystod yr eitem nesaf ar yr agenda, ond rwy'n credu bod datganiad clir ar y mater hwn gan y Llywodraeth yn bwysig ac y byddai'n ddefnyddiol iawn. Yn ail, a gaf i hefyd ofyn am ddatganiad ar gymorth i gartrefi gofal yn gyffredinol yn ystod y pandemig? Mae Fforwm Gofal Cymru wedi egluro bod rhai cartrefi gofal ledled Cymru mewn perygl o gau heb gymorth ariannol hanfodol. Yn ystod y pandemig, mae costau wedi codi wrth i gartrefi gofal orfod cynyddu nifer eu staff a gweithredu mesurau rheoli heintiau ychwanegol. Felly mae'n hanfodol bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymrwymo i fodel ariannu sy'n rhoi sefydlogrwydd i'r lleoliadau hynny i ddiogelu'r preswylwyr sy'n byw mewn lleoliadau gofal ac i ddiogelu darpariaeth yn y dyfodol a sicrhau bod y sector cyfan yn gynaliadwy ar gyfer y dyfodol. Felly, byddwn i'n ddiolchgar iawn pe gallai Llywodraeth Cymru roi'r amser i ddarparu datganiad ar ei chefnogaeth i'r sector a'i chynlluniau i ddiogelu cartrefi gofal yng Nghymru cyn diwedd tymor y Senedd.
