Mae’r Groes, nad yw’n cael ei rhoi i sefydliadau’n aml, yn cydnabod gweithredoedd o ddewrder eithriadol wrth geisio achub bywydau pobl eraill.


Daw’r dyfarniad ar y diwrnod (5 Gorffennaf) pan fo’r GIG yn nodi 73 o flynyddoedd ers ei sefydlu. Mae’n cydnabod gwaith y GIG nid yn unig dros y misoedd anodd diwethaf, ond hefyd bob dydd ers ei greu ym 1948\.


Yn ddiweddar, gwnaeth Pwyllgor Croes y Brenin Siôr gynghori Prif Weinidog y DU y dylid cydnabod y GIG yn y ffordd hon. Ar ôl trafodaethau â’r Prif Weinidogion eraill, penderfynwyd y dylid dyfarnu Croes y Brenin Siôr ar wahân i bob un o’r pedair gwlad.


Mae Croes y Brenin Siôr fel arfer yn cael ei chyflwyno gan aelod blaenllaw o’r Teulu Brenhinol mewn seremoni, a bydd y Palas yn gwneud y trefniadau ar gyfer hyn maes o law.  

Un dyfyniad a briodolir i Aneurin Bevan, AS Glyn Ebwy a sefydlodd y GIG, yw: ‘Bydd y Gwasanaeth Iechyd yn para cyhyd â bod pobl yn barod i frwydro drosto’. Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd presennol, Eluned Morgan, y byddai ef wedi bod yn falch o weld sut mae’r Gwasanaeth wedi perfformio dros y 18 mis diwethaf – ddegawdau ar ôl iddo roi ei freuddwyd ar waith:



> “Mae’r wobr hon nid yn unig yn cydnabod y rhai sy’n gweithio yn y Gwasanaeth heddiw, ond hefyd bawb sydd wedi gweithio yn y sefydliad amhrisiadwy hwn dros yr holl flynyddoedd ers ei greu.
> 
> 
> “Mae’n anodd mynegi pa mor ddiolchgar ydyn ni i’r Gwasanaeth Iechyd yng Nghymru am bopeth y mae wedi’i wneud drwy gydol y pandemig, gan fynd yr ail filltir i’n trin, gofalu amdanom a’n cefnogi.
> 
> 
> “Arwydd bach yw’r wobr hon o’n gwerthfawrogiad am eu gwasanaeth arwrol a pha mor ddyledus ydyn ni iddyn nhw am eu gwaith.
> 
> 
> “Rydyn ni’n gwybod nad yw’r pandemig drosodd eto ac mae llawer o heriau o’n blaenau o hyd, ond os ydyn ni wedi dysgu unrhyw beth dros y 18 mis diwethaf, y peth hwnnw yw bod nerth cymeriad, calon a dygnwch y Gwasanaeth Iechyd yn ddiamheuol. Rydyn ni’n eithriadol o ffodus bod gennym wasanaeth o’r fath.”


Gan atseinio clod y Gweinidog, dywedodd Andrew Goodall, Prif Weithredwr GIG Cymru, fod pawb sydd wedi ymdrechu mor galed yn ystod y pandemig yn haeddu canmoliaeth:



> “Mae gweithwyr y Gwasanaeth Iechyd ledled Cymru wedi dangos gwydnwch, angerdd, proffesiynoldeb ac ymroddiad drwy gydol un o heriau mwyaf ein hoes.
> 
> 
> “Maen nhw wedi bod yno i ni a’n hanwyliaid pan nad oedd modd i neb arall fod yno, gan ysgwyddo beichiau corfforol ac emosiynol enfawr.
> 
> 
> “Drwy gydol y cyfnod anodd diweddar, rydyn ni wedi dangos ein gwerthfawrogiad am eu gwaith drwy guro ein dwylo ar garreg drws ac arddangos yr enfys yn ein ffenestri. Rwy’n gobeithio mai effaith hirdymor y pandemig yw y byddwn yn trysori’r Gwasanaeth Iechyd a’i staff yn fwy fyth yn y dyfodol.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r wobr heddiw’n deyrnged addas i staff y Gwasanaeth, ond rwy’n gwybod y byddai’r rhai sy’n gweithio ynddo yn falch o ymuno â mi wrth gydnabod cyfraniad pawb sy’n gweithio mewn partneriaeth â’r Gwasanaeth Iechyd hefyd.
> 
> 
> “Mae hyn yn cynnwys cydweithwyr ym maes gofal cymdeithasol, gweithwyr allweddol a gwirfoddolwyr sydd wedi camu ymlaen pan oedd eu hangen. Mae hefyd, wrth gwrs, yn cynnwys y cyhoedd sydd wedi aberthu cymaint ar hyd y ffordd. Mae’r ymateb wedi bod yn un ar y cyd rhwng pawb.”

The award, which is rarely given to organisations, recognises extraordinary acts of bravery in trying to save the lives of other people.


The award, which comes as the NHS marks its 73rd birthday today (July 5\) represents the work of the NHS not just over the last few extremely challenging months, but every day since its creation in 1948\.


The George Cross Committee recently provided advice to the Prime Minister that the NHS should be recognised in this way and, after discussions with the respective First Ministers, it was decided that each of the 4 home nations should be awarded separate George Cross medals.


The George Cross is usually presented by a senior Royal at an investiture and arrangements will be made by the Palace in due course.


Aneurin Bevan, the Ebbw Vale MP who was instrumental in forming the NHS, once said ‘The NHS will last as long as there are folk left with faith to fight for it’, and current Health Minister Eluned Morgan said he would have been proud to see how it has performed over the last 18 months – decades after his dream became a reality:



> “This award is not just to recognise those who work in the service today, but those who have worked in this loved institution over all the years since it was established.
> 
> 
> “It is hard to put into words how grateful we are to the NHS in Wales for everything they have done throughout the pandemic, going above and beyond the call of duty to treat, care and support us.
> 
> 
> “This award is just a small token of our appreciation for the heroic service they have given and how indebted we are to their work.
> 
> 
> “We know the pandemic is not over yet and we still have many challenges to come, but if we have learnt anything over the last 18 months, it is the strength of character, resolve and determination of our NHS is unquestionable and we are incredibly lucky to have such a health service.”


Andrew Goodall, chief executive of NHS Wales, echoed the Health Minister’s praise and commended all those who have given so much during the pandemic:



> “NHS workers across Wales have shown strength, passion, professionalism and dedication throughout one of the biggest challenges of our lifetime.
> 
> 
> “They have been there for us and for our loved ones when nobody else could be there, and have shouldered enormous physical and emotional demands.
> 
> 
> “Throughout the recent dark times we have shown our appreciation for their work through doorstep clapping and rainbows in windows, and I hope the legacy of the pandemic will be to treasure the NHS and its staff just that bit more in future.
> 
> 
> “While the award today is a fitting tribute to NHS staff, I know that those working in the NHS would like to join me in also recognising the contribution of all those working in partnership with the NHS.
> 
> 
> “This includes colleagues in social care, keyworkers and volunteers who have stepped in when needed and not least the public who have made many sacrifices along the way. The response has been a truly collective one.”
