English: Diolch, Llywydd. I'd like to ask for a statement, please, explaining why some care homes have been deprioritised for vaccines. I've been contacted by a small care home in Caerphilly county borough who are really upset that their residents are no longer due to be vaccinated in the first two priority groups. They were originally told that all care home residents would be vaccinated in the first group, but adults in some residential care settings have now been moved to group six. They assume that this is because they're small. They care for residents with learning disabilities, but the residents of this care home are all over 65. People working there feel that they've been treated unfairly because they're expected to follow the same guidelines and the same rules as every other care home, and there's not been any justification given as yet why their residents have been deprioritised. I know the council have been very helpful, and the home would want me to say that the council has helped them to make sure that all staff have been vaccinated, but they can't do the same for residents because of this change in prioritisation. Trefnydd, very shortly before Plenary today, Members were sent a vaccination update by the health Minister, which talks about older people care homes. I'd like to know if this qualification means that care homes who are defined as caring for residents with learning disabilities are being neglected here, even if the residents are over 65. Has this change in prioritisation been done so that the Welsh Government can claim it has vaccinated all care homes for older people? Because this would clearly not be true. Yesterday, the Welsh Government claimed that all care homes were either being or had been vaccinated, when, in fact, small care homes like this haven't been. So, I would like a justification for what is published, please, so that it can be shown to the care homes. Because if this has been a retrospective change, I really worry that this could be discriminatory, because many of the residents of this home, because of their age, would have qualified for vaccines already if they didn't have the disabilities.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Fe hoffwn i ofyn am ddatganiad, os gwelwch chi'n dda, yn esbonio pam mae rhai cartrefi gofal wedi cael eu dadflaenoriaethu ar gyfer brechlynnau. Mae yna gartref gofal bach ym mwrdeistref sirol Caerffili sydd wedi cysylltu â mi ac sy'n gofidio llawer na chaiff eu preswylwyr nhw eu cynnwys erbyn hyn yn y ddau grŵp blaenoriaeth cyntaf ar gyfer eu brechu. Fe ddywedwyd wrthynt yn wreiddiol y byddai holl breswylwyr cartrefi gofal yn cael eu brechu yn y grŵp cyntaf, ond mae oedolion mewn rhai lleoliadau gofal preswyl wedi cael eu symud i grŵp rhif chwech erbyn hyn. Maen nhw'n tybio mai'r rheswm am hyn yw oherwydd bod y cartref yn un bach o ran maint. Maen nhw'n gofalu am breswylwyr ag anableddau dysgu, ond mae preswylwyr y cartref gofal hwn i gyd dros eu 65 oed. Mae pobl sy'n gweithio yno'n credu eu bod wedi cael eu trin yn annheg oherwydd bod disgwyl iddynt ddilyn yr un canllawiau a'r un rheolau â phob cartref gofal arall, ac ni roddwyd unrhyw gyfiawnhad hyd yn hyn dros y dadflaenoriaethu. Rwy'n gwybod i'r cyngor fod yn barod iawn i helpu, ac fe fyddai'r cartref yn awyddus imi ddweud bod y cyngor wedi helpu i sicrhau bod yr holl staff wedi cael eu brechu, ond ni allant wneud hynny i'r preswylwyr oherwydd y newid hwn o ran blaenoriaethu. Trefnydd, ychydig cyn y Cyfarfod Llawn heddiw, fe anfonodd y Gweinidog Iechyd ddiweddariad at yr Aelodau ynglŷn â brechu, sy'n crybwyll cartrefi gofal i bobl hŷn. Fe hoffwn i wybod a yw'r amod hwn yn golygu bod cartrefi gofal sy'n cael eu diffinio fel rhai sy'n gofalu am breswylwyr ag anableddau dysgu yn cael eu hesgeuluso yn hyn o beth, hyd yn oed os yw'r preswylwyr dros eu 65 oed. A yw'r newid hwn o ran blaenoriaethu wedi digwydd fel y gall Llywodraeth Cymru honni ei bod wedi brechu ym mhob cartref gofal i bobl hŷn? Oherwydd mae'n amlwg na fyddai hynny'n wir. Ddoe, fe honnodd Llywodraeth Cymru fod pob cartref gofal naill ai wrthi'n cael eu brechiadau neu eisoes wedi eu cael nhw ond mewn gwirionedd nid yw hynny wedi digwydd mewn cartrefi gofal bach fel hyn. Felly, fe hoffwn i glywed cyfiawnhad o'r hyn a gyhoeddwyd, os gwelwch chi'n dda, fel y gellir dangos hwnnw i'r cartrefi gofal. Oherwydd os yw hwn wedi bod yn newid ôl-weithredol, rwy'n poeni'n wir y gallai hwnnw fod yn wahaniaethol, oherwydd fe fyddai llawer o breswylwyr y cartref hwn, oherwydd eu hoedran, wedi bod yn gymwys eisoes ar gyfer eu brechu pe na fyddai ganddyn nhw'r anableddau.
