O ran y cyhoeddiad diweddar ar gydnabyddiaeth ariannol i feddygon a deintyddion, a wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet nodi faint o gyllid sydd wedi'i ddyrannu, yn ogystal ag arian canlyniadol, i gyflawni'r cytundeb cyflog terfynol, ac am faint o flynyddoedd y mae'r arian hwn wedi'i sicrhau?
As confirmed in my Written Statement and Topical Question in Plenary, I can confirm that I have implemented, in full, the recommendations of the 46th Report of the Doctors and Dentists Review Body (DDRB) and backdated the increases to 1 April 2018. This includes
- a 2% base increase for salaried doctors and dentists (this includes doctors in training and consultants), salaried General Medical Practitioners (GMPs) and independent contractor GMPs and General Dental Practitioners (GDPs);
- an additional 2% for independent contractor GMPs, salaried GMPs and to the GMP trainers’ grant and the GMP appraisers’ rate;
- an additional 1.5% for SAS doctors
It does not include pay for Agency and locum staff whose pay is generally negotiated outside the normal contractual arrangements.

The UK Treasury has provided no additional funding to help cover the cost of any recommended uplift above 1% and so I have invested additional funding provided by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance to enable this deal to be implemented without undermining delivery of services. The cost for 2018/19 is £24.04m. The recurrent funding will be met from future health resources.
