Mae’n rhaid cyflwyno Cwestiynau Ysgrifenedig bum diwrnod gwaith o leiaf cyn y maent i gael eu hateb. Yn ymarferol, mae’r Gweinidogion yn ceisio ateb rhwng saith ac wyth diwrnod, ond nid yw’n orfodol iddynt wneud hynny. Cyhoeddir yr atebion yn yr iaith y’u cyflwynir ynddi, gyda chyfieithiad i’r Saesneg o ymatebion a roddir yn y Gymraeg.

Weinidog Cymunedau a Threchu Tlodi (Jeff Cuthbert): Further funding of £1million has been made available this year to front line advice services who offer help with welfare benefits, debt and money management, housing and discrimination. Independent and not-for-profit advice providers, many of which have seen their budgets cut, can apply for this grant to help them to continue providing advice services to everyone, including older people in Wales.
This funding is in addition to the £2.2m per annum that is provided for the Citizens Advice delivered ‘Better Advice, Better Lives’ project, which is helping people throughout Wales, including older people, to access benefit entitlements.
We are also supporting the delivery of advice services in Communities First areas. Funding of £2.3 million has been provided until March 2015 to provide outreach debt advice in 36 Communities First Clusters across Wales.
