Dywedodd llefarydd o Lywodraeth Cymru:



> Mae cynnydd yn parhau i gael ei wneud i leihau’r amseroedd aros hiraf gyda nifer y llwybrau sy’n aros am fwy na dwy flynedd wedi gostwng 4\.4% \- yr ail ostyngiad misol yn olynol ar ôl dwy flynedd o gynnydd cyson ers i’r pandemig ddechrau. 
> 
> 
> Er gwaethaf y cynnydd hwn mewn galw, ym mis Mai cafodd niferoedd enfawr o gleifion eu gweld gyda’r nifer uchaf o driniaethau cleifion mewnol ac allanol yn cael eu cynnal (24,167\) ers dechrau’r pandemig. Mae’r ffigur hwn yn rhan o gyfanswm o bron i 365,000 o ymgyngoriadau cleifion (ddim yn cynnwys apwyntiadau GP neu therapïau) a gynhaliwyd gan y GIG yng Nghymru, y pedwerydd uchaf ers dechrau’r pandemig yn ôl ym mis Mawrth 2020\.
> 
> 
> Ym mis Mai, dechreuodd 1,646 pobol driniaeth canser, 15% mwy nag ym mis Ebrill 2022\. Ar ben hyn caewyd 11,883 o lwybrau ar ôl i’r claf gael gwybod nad oedd ganddo ganser, cynnydd o 13% o’i gymharu â mis Ebrill 2022\.
> 
> 
> Mae galw eithriadol o uchel o hyd ar wasanaethau’r GIG ledled Cymru gydag atgyfeiriadau’n cynyddu 16\.7% ym mis Mai 2022 wrth i fwy o bobl geisio cymorth ar gyfer eu cyflyrau yn dilyn y pandemig.
> 
> 
> Mae galw cynyddol o hyd am ofal mewn argyfwng ac mae pwysau’n cael eu dwysáu oherwydd heriau gyda llif cleifion drwy’r system ysbytai, yn ogystal â chyfyngiadau staffio gan gynnwys cynnydd mewn salwch COVID\-19\. Ym mis Mehefin, cyfran yr holl alwadau a oedd yn bygwth bywyd ar unwaith oedd 10%, sef yr eildro yn unig ers newid y categori dros dair blynedd yn ôl.
> 
> 
> Mae 263 o glinigwyr ambiwlans ychwanegol wedi eu recriwtio dros y ddwy flynedd diwethaf a heddiw rydym wedi cyhoeddi £3 miliwn ychwanegol i recriwtio tua 100 o staff rheng flaen ychwanegol i helpu i wella amseroedd ymateb ar gyfer y rhai sydd wedi’u hanafu fwyaf difrifol a’r rhai mwyaf sâl dros gyfnod y gaeaf. Cytunwyd hefyd ar gynllun gwella newydd ar gyfer ambiwlansys gan brif weithredwyr Byrddau Iechyd yr wythnos diwethaf ac rydym yn disgwyl gweld gwelliant ym mherfformiad trosglwyddo cleifion ambiwlans o ganlyniad.

A Welsh Government spokesperson said:



> Progress continues to be made to reduce the longest waits with the number of pathways waiting for more than two years reduced by 4\.4% – the second consecutive monthly fall after two years of consistent increases since the pandemic began.
> 
> 
> Despite the increase in demand, huge numbers of patients were seen in May with the highest number of inpatient and day case treatments carried out (24,167\) since the start of the pandemic. This figure forms part of a total of almost 365,000 patient consultations (not including GP appointments or therapies) undertaken by the NHS in Wales, the fourth highest since the start of the pandemic back in March 2020\.
> 
> 
> In May, 1,646 people started cancer treatment, 15% more than in April 2022\. In addition 11,883 pathways were closed following the patient being informed they did not have cancer, an increase of 13% compared to April 2022\. 
> 
> 
> The expected increase in demand saw referrals rising by 16\.7 per cent in May 2022, compared to April, as more people seek help for their conditions following the pandemic.
> 
> 
> There continues to be increased demand for emergency care and pressures are being intensified due to challenges with patient flow through the hospital system, as well as staffing constraints including a rise in COVID\-sickness. In June, the proportion of all calls that were immediately life\-threatening was 10%, which is only the second time since a change to categorisation over three years ago.
> 
> 
> An additional 263 ambulance clinicians have been recruited over the last two years and today we have announced a further £3m to recruit around 100 additional frontline staff to support improved response times for the most critically injured and seriously ill for the winter period. A new ambulance improvement plan was also agreed by Health Board chief executives last week and we expect to see improvement in ambulance patient handover performance as a result.
