Oeddech chi'n gwybod nad yw pobl ag anabledd dysgu yn byw cyhyd ag y dylent? Yng Nghymru mae'r rhan fwyaf o bobl ag anabledd dysgu yn marw tua 67 oed. Mae hyn oherwydd eu bod yn cael gofal iechyd gwaeth na phobl eraill. Stori lawn @bbcwales.bsky.social yma: www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/ert...

Did you know people with a learning disability don't live as long as they should? In Wales most people with a learning disability die around age 67. This is because they get worse healthcare than other people. Easy English @bbcwales.bsky.social available: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
