Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy is delighted to celebrate Carere Week here in Wales.

Carers Week is an annual campaign aimed at raising awareness about caring, highlighting the challenges faced by unpaid carers, and acknowledging the invaluable contributions they make to families and communities across the UK. It also encourages individuals who may not recognise themselves as carers to identify as such and access essential support.

The theme for Carers Week 2024 is "Putting Carers on the Map."

Published on the first day of Carers Week 2024, a report found that 62% of current or former unpaid carers felt they had no choice but to take on the role due to a lack of alternative care options. This statistic represents approximately 10 million adults.

Commenting on the news Janet said:

“I am delighted to celebrate all those people who selflessly give themselves for the care of others. All around us are individuals who give up their time, money and future to ensure that others get the help and attention they need to survive.

“It is heartwarming to see that so many people make a conscious effort to do this. Right across Wales right now those who are more vulnerable in society are able to live with added dignity and comfort due to these selfless individuals.

“Indeed, it is a sign of our quacking health service that front line care services  are unable to ensure that people are properly looked after, causing millions of us to revert to being unpaid carers.

“We must do more in Wales to help our front line services get back on their feet to allow our carers some well-deserved respite.”

Mae Janet Finch-Saunders, Aelod o’r Senedd dros Aberconwy, wrth ei bodd yn dathlu Wythnos Gofalwyr yma yng Nghymru.

Mae Wythnos Gofalwyr yn ymgyrch flynyddol sydd â'r nod o godi ymwybyddiaeth am ofalu, tynnu sylw at yr heriau sy'n wynebu gofalwyr di-dâl, a chydnabod y cyfraniadau amhrisiadwy y maen nhw’n eu gwneud i deuluoedd a chymunedau ledled y DU. Mae hefyd yn annog unigolion nad ydyn nhw efallai'n cydnabod eu hunain fel gofalwyr i nodi eu bod yn ofalwyr a chael mynediad at gymorth hanfodol.

Thema Wythnos Gofalwyr 2024 yw "Rhoi Gofalwyr ar y Map."

Cyhoeddwyd adroddiad ar ddiwrnod cyntaf Wythnos Gofalwyr 2024, oedd yn canfod bod 62% o ofalwyr di-dâl presennol neu gyn-ofalwyr di-dâl yn teimlo nad oedd ganddyn nhw ddewis ond ysgwyddo'r rôl oherwydd diffyg dewisiadau gofal amgen. Mae'r ystadegyn hwn yn cynrychioli tua 10 miliwn o oedolion.

Wrth sôn am y newyddion dywedodd Janet:

"Rwy'n falch iawn o ddathlu'r holl bobl hynny sy'n rhoi eraill o flaen eu hunain er mwyn gofalu am eraill. Maen nhw i gyd yn unigolion sy'n rhoi'r gorau i'w hamser, eu harian a'u dyfodol i sicrhau bod eraill yn cael yr help a'r sylw sydd eu hangen arnyn nhw i oroesi.

"Mae'n galonogol gweld bod cymaint o bobl yn gwneud ymdrech ymwybodol i wneud hyn. Ar hyn o bryd mae'r rhai sy'n fwy agored i niwed mewn cymdeithas yn gallu byw gydag urddas a chysur ychwanegol oherwydd yr unigolion anhunanol hyn.

"Yn wir, mae'n arwydd o'r pwysau sydd ar ein gwasanaeth iechyd nad yw gwasanaethau gofal rheng flaen yn gallu sicrhau bod pobl yn derbyn gofal priodol, gan beri i filiynau ohonom ni ddychwelyd i fod yn ofalwyr di-dâl.

"Rhaid i ni wneud mwy yng Nghymru i helpu ein gwasanaethau rheng flaen i ailgodi a rhoi seibiant haeddiannol i'n gofalwyr."
