Bydd y cyllid ar gael o fis Ebrill 2023 ymlaen ac fe fydd yn cynyddu nifer y gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd a gweithwyr cymorth yn y gymuned yn y Gwasanaeth Iechyd. Byddan nhw’n cynorthwyo pobl i aros yn annibynnol ac yn iach gartref, gan helpu i atal derbyniadau i’r ysbyty a helpu pobl i gael eu rhyddhau’n gyflym o’r ysbyty drwy sicrhau bod y cymorth a’r trefniadau adsefydlu cywir ar gael i adfer gartref.  

  

Grŵp o 13 o broffesiynau yw gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd, gan gynnwys ffisiotherapyddion, therapyddion lleferydd ac iaith, therapyddion galwedigaethol, deietegwyr a seicolegwyr. Maen nhw’n rhan o dimau iechyd cymunedol lleol ac yn darparu gwasanaethau atal ac ymyrraeth gynnar a threfniadau amgen i dderbyniadau i’r ysbyty. Maen nhw hefyd yn lleihau’r angen am ofal cymdeithasol hirdymor.  

  

Mae cefnogi pobl i adfer gartref drwy adsefydlu neu eu helpu i dreulio llai o amser mewn gwely ysbyty yn gallu bod o fudd mawr i les pobl, gwella canlyniadau iechyd a chyflymu’r broses adfer.  

  

Dyma rai enghreifftiau o sut y gall gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd helpu pobl i gael gofal a chymorth adsefydlu yn y gymuned:


* Creu wardiau rhithwir sy’n galluogi cleifion i gael y driniaeth angenrheidiol gartref yn ddiogel ac yn hwylus, yn hytrach na bod yn yr ysbyty, neu ehangu’r timau adnoddau cymunedol sy’n rhoi dewisiadau amgen i feddygon a pharafeddygon yn lle adrannau achosion brys.
* Trin pobl sydd wedi cwympo gartref, os nad oes angen iddyn nhw fynd i’r ysbyty, a darparu rhaglen ofal a chyngor i leihau’r tebygolrwydd o gwymp arall ac i adfer eu hyder a’u cryfder.
* Darparu ymyriadau effeithiol i helpu pobl sydd newydd gael diagnosis o ddementia i barhau i fyw gartref, cefnogi gofalwyr teuluol ac arafu unrhyw ddirywiad yn eu cyflwr.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol Eluned Morgan:



> Mae iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru yn canolbwyntio ar gryfhau gwasanaethau yn y gymuned. Rydyn ni am i bobl fyw gartref, mor annibynnol â phosib’ ac am gyhyd â phosib’.  
> 
>   
> 
> Rydyn ni’n gwybod bod llawer o bobl hŷn sy’n eiddil neu sydd â llawer o gyflyrau iechyd yn gallu dirywio’n gyflym os byddan nhw’n aros yn llonydd mewn gwely am yn rhy hir. Yn ogystal, os ydyn nhw wedi bod yn yr ysbyty, pan fyddan nhw’n gadael maen nhw’n gallu bod yn llai heini ac annibynnol na phan aethon nhw i’r ysbyty. Bydd y cyllid hwn yn ein helpu ni i helpu pobl i ddychwelyd adref cyn gynted â phosib’, gan roi’r asesiad a’r cymorth adsefydlu cywir iddyn nhw. Bydd hyn yn eu galluogi i aros yn heini am gyhyd â phosib’, gan fyw gyda’u teuluoedd a gwneud y pethau maen nhw’n mwynhau eu gwneud yn eu bywydau pob dydd.

> Ar hyn o bryd, nid oes digon o bobl yn gallu manteisio ar arbenigedd gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd i wella eu hiechyd a’u hadferiad. Dyna pam rwy’n cyhoeddi £5 miliwn i wella mynediad at weithwyr proffesiynol medrus a gwasanaethau i ddarparu dewisiadau amgen i dderbyniadau i’r ysbyty a lleihau dibyniaeth ar ofal cymdeithasol hirdymor. Bydd ehangu’r gwasanaethau iechyd sy’n gallu cael eu darparu yn y gymuned yn ein helpu i fynd i’r afael â pheth o’r pwysau sydd ar ein system iechyd a gofal ar hyn o bryd.


Dywedodd Prif Gynghorydd y Proffesiynau Perthynol i Iechyd, Ruth Crowder:



> Mae’r galw am sgiliau gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd wedi cynyddu ers y pandemig. Mae pobl yn mynd at wasanaethau gydag anghenion mwy cymhleth. Mae gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd yn rhagori mewn darparu triniaethau sy’n arbennig o werthfawr wrth gefnogi anghenion cymhleth, amlweddog pobl sy’n fregus neu’n byw â chyflyrau iechyd hirdymor.  
> 
>   
> 
> Heb wasanaethau proffesiynau perthynol i iechyd mewn cymunedau, mae’n bosib’ y caiff pobl eu derbyn i’r ysbyty pan ellid bod wedi’u trin gartref. Efallai hefyd na fydd modd rhyddhau pobl o’r ysbyty pan fydd eu triniaeth acíwt wedi dod i ben neu fe fyddan nhw’n symud i ofal preswyl neu ofal nyrsio yn gynharach nag y bydden nhw wedi’i wneud fel arall, gan gynyddu’r pwysau ar ein gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol. Bydd gwella mynediad at weithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd yn dod â gweithlu ehangach at ei gilydd mewn system gofal sylfaenol ddiwygiedig.

Available from April 2023, the funding will increase the number of community\-based AHPs and support workers in the NHS. They will help people stay independent and well at home, helping to prevent hospital admissions and they will also help people to be quickly discharged from hospital with the right support and rehabilitation in place to recover at home.  

  

Allied health professions is a group of 13 professions, which include physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, dietitians and psychologists. Based in local community health teams, they provide preventative and early intervention services, alternatives to hospital admission and reduce the need for long\-term social care.  

  

Supporting people to recover at home with rehabilitation or spend less time in a hospital bed can have a considerable benefit on a people’s wellbeing, improve health outcomes and speed up recovery.  

  

Examples of how AHPs can help people receive care and rehabilitation in the community include:


* The creation of virtual wards, which allow patients to receive the treatment they need at home safely and conveniently, rather than being in hospital, or expand the existing community resource teams which give GPs and paramedics alternatives to emergency departments.
* Treat people who have suffered a fall at home, if they do not need to go to hospital, and provide a programme of care and advice to reduce the likelihood of a further fall and rebuild their confidence and strength.
* Provide effective interventions to help people newly diagnosed with dementia to continue to live at home, support family carers and reduce the rate at which they may deteriorate.


Minister for Health and Social Services Eluned Morgan said:



> The focus of health and social care in Wales is on strengthening community\-based services. We want people to live at home, as independently as possible and for as long as possible.  
> 
>   
> 
> We know that many people who are older and living with frailty or many health conditions can quickly deteriorate if they are inactive in bed for too long and, if they have been in hospital, when they leave they may be less mobile and less independent than when they were admitted. This funding will help us to help people return home as quickly as possible, with access to the right community assessment and rehabilitation, so they can remain active for as long as possible, living with their families and doing the things they enjoy most in their daily lives.  
>

> Currently, not enough people can access the expertise of AHPs to maximise their health and improve their recovery. This is why I am announcing £5m to improve access to these skilled professionals and services to provide alternatives to hospital admission and reduce reliance on long\-term social care. By expanding what health services can be provided within the community it will help us to tackle some of the current pressures facing our health and care system.


Chief Allied Health Professions Adviser, Ruth Crowder said:



> Demand for AHPs’ skills has risen since the pandemic, and people are presenting to services with more complex needs. AHPs excel in delivering treatments which are particularly valuable in supporting the complex, multi\-dimensional needs of people who are frail or living with long term health conditions.

> 
> Without community AHP services, people may be admitted to hospital when they could have been treated at home, are unable to be discharged from hospital when their acute treatment is complete or end up moving to residential or nursing care earlier than might otherwise be the case, adding to other pressure on our social care services. Improving access to allied health professionals will bring a wider workforce together in a reformed primary care.
