EXPLANATORY NOTE

(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau)


Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Rheoliadau'r Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol (Ffioedd Ymwelwyr Tramor) 1989 sy'n darparu ar gyfer codi ac adennill ffioedd mewn perthynas â gwasanaethau penodol o dan Ddeddf y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol 1977 i bobl benodol nad ydynt fel arfer yn preswylio yn y Deyrnas Unedig ("ymwelwyr tramor").

Mae rheoliadau 3 a 5 yn newid manylion yr hawl ar gyfer nifer o'r categorïau presennol o ymwelwyr tramor sy'n esempt rhag ffioedd am wasanaethau.

Mae rheoliad 4 yn esemptio pensiynwyr ymddeoledig penodol y Deyrnas Unedig sy'n byw am o leiaf chwe mis yn y Deyrnas Unedig ac mewn Aelod-wladwriaeth arall am lai na chwe mis rhag ffioedd tra byddant yn y Deyrnas Unedig.

Mae rheoliad 6 yn galluogi Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru i wneud penderfyniad mewn amgylchiadau penodol i esemptio ymwelwyr tramor penodedig rhag ffioedd am wasanaethau penodol am resymau dyngarol eithriadol ac mae rheoliad 5 yn esemptio pobl benodedig rhag ffioedd ar gyfer triniaeth, y cododd yr angen amdani yn ystod ymweliad, i bobl benodedig sy'n cyd-deithio â pherson y mae esemptiad am resymau dyngarol eithriadol yn gymwys iddo.

Mae rheoliad 7 yn cynnwys Syndrom Anadlu Acíwt Difrifol (SARS) yn y rhestr yn Atodlen 1 o driniaethau sy'n esempt rhag ffioedd.

Mae rheoliad 8 yn tynnu Hong Kong o Atodlen 2 i Reoliadau 1989 (gwledydd neu diriogaethau yr ymrwymodd y Deyrnas Unedig mewn cytundeb cilyddol â hwy).
