English: Can I thank the Minister for his statement: transforming social care in Wales - implementation of the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016, RISC? Can I first of all thank him for being willing to listen and to engage with various issues I've had with the regulatory mechanisms as they have been unfolding, and I'm grateful for his meetings and for his advice? In terms of the statement, obviously, this refers to the implementation of the regulation and inspection of social care, and it focuses a lot on the registration of care support workers and providers. Obviously, registration of care support workers is a very welcome step. Doctors are registered, nurses are registered, and it's only right that care support workers, increasingly involved in the most intimate of personal care, should also be registered. And, obviously, those processes are part of an obvious requirement in improving the outcomes in social care that we all want to see. But obviously the elephant in the room here is that you can't achieve all this whilst care support workers are low paid, still subject to casualisation, occasional zero-hours contracts, and that they don't have proper career paths that would lead to the equality of esteem that health professionals do have. Now, changing this requires significant increases in the wage and training bills at a time when local authorities can ill afford to do so. So, can you tell us, Minister, this afternoon, how the Government is putting its money behind this Act, and will you accept that the implementation of the spirit of the Act requires this injection of significant funding? Transforming social care demands no less.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ddatganiad: trawsnewid gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru - gweithredu Deddf Rheoleiddio ac Arolygu Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru) 2016, RISC? A gaf i'n gyntaf, ddiolch iddo am fod yn barod i wrando a mynd i'r afael â'r gwahanol broblemau rwyf i wedi'u cael gyda mecanweithiau rheoleiddio wrth iddyn nhw ddatblygu, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar am ei gyfarfodydd ac am ei gyngor? O ran y datganiad, yn amlwg, mae hyn yn cyfeirio at weithredu prosesau rheoleiddio ac arolygu gofal cymdeithasol, ac mae'n canolbwyntio'n fawr ar gofrestru gweithwyr cymorth a darparwyr gofal. Yn amlwg, mae cofrestru gweithwyr cymorth gofal yn gam i'w groesawu'n fawr. Mae meddygon wedi'u cofrestru, mae nyrsys wedi'u cofrestru, ac mae'n briodol y dylai gweithwyr cymorth gofal, sy'n ymwneud yn gynyddol ag elfennau mwyaf personol gofal personol, fod wedi'u cofrestru hefyd. Ac, yn amlwg, mae'r prosesau hynny yn rhan o ofyniad amlwg i wella'r canlyniadau ym maes gofal cymdeithasol rydym ni i gyd eisiau eu gweld. Ond yn amlwg, yr hyn nad oes neb yn sôn amdano yma yw nad oes modd cyflawni hyn i gyd pan fo gweithwyr cymorth gofal ar gyflog isel, yn dal i fod yn destun contractau dros dro, contractau dim oriau achlysurol, ac nad oes llwybrau gyrfa priodol a fyddai'n arwain at gydraddoldeb o ran y parch sydd gan weithwyr iechyd proffesiynol. Nawr, mae newid hyn yn gofyn am gynnydd sylweddol yn y cyflog a biliau hyfforddiant ar adeg pan na all awdurdodau lleol fforddio gwneud hynny. Felly, a wnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni, Gweinidog, y prynhawn yma, sut mae'r Llywodraeth yn rhoi ei harian i gefnogi'r Ddeddf hon, ac a wnewch chi dderbyn bod angen cyfraniad sylweddol o arian i weithredu ysbryd y Ddeddf? Ni all trawsnewid gofal cymdeithasol fynnu dim llai.
