Dywedodd Andrew Goodall: 


> “Mae ein ffigurau diweddaraf yn dangos mai’r mis diwethaf oedd y mis Ionawr prysuraf a gofnodwyd erioed yn ein hadrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys. Mae’r ffigurau ar gyfer pobl 85 oed a hŷn a dderbyniwyd i’r adrannau hyn yn dangos mai dyma’r cyfanswm ail uchaf mewn unrhyw fis sydd ar gofnod. Mae’r ffliw hefyd wedi effeithio ar gapasiti ar draws ein system, gan inni weld y cyfraddau uchaf ers chwe blynedd.
> 
> Yn ystod y cyfnod prysur hwn, mae staff ein gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol wedi dal ati i ddarparu gofal brys a gofal wedi’i drefnu mewn modd proffesiynol a thosturiol. Hoffwn ddiolch iddynt am eu hymrwymiad eithriadol a’u gwaith caled yn ystod y cyfnod hynod heriol hwn.  
> 
> Er gwaethaf y cynnydd yn ei lwyth gwaith yn ystod y mis prysuraf ond un sydd ar gofnod ganddo, llwyddodd gwasanaeth ambiwlans Cymru i gyrraedd y targed cenedlaethol ar gyfer ymateb i alwadau coch, fel y mae wedi gwneud bob mis ers cyflwyno’r model ymateb newydd.
> 
> Buom yn cydweithio’n agos â’r byrddau iechyd a’n partneriaid i ddatblygu cynlluniau ar gyfer tymor y gaeaf, gan fuddsoddi £60 miliwn o arian ychwanegol i ddarparu gofal brys ac i sicrhau bod modd i ofal oedd wedi’i drefnu fynd rhagddo. Er gwaethaf y pwysau cynyddol, cafwyd gostyngiad ddiwedd mis Rhagfyr yn nifer y bobl fu’n disgwyl am fwy na 36 wythnos i gael triniaeth, ac rydym yn disgwyl gweld amseroedd aros yn gostwng rhwng hyn a diwedd mis Mawrth. Cafodd mwy o gleifion canser eu trin o fewn yr amser targed rhwng Ionawr a Rhagfyr 2017 nag mewn unrhyw flwyddyn flaenorol. 
> 
> Rydym yn parhau i fuddsoddi mewn gwasanaethau cymdeithasol i gefnogi ein system gofal iechyd, ac er gwaethaf y galw eithriadol roedd y ffigurau ar gyfer oedi cyn trosglwyddo gofal ar eu hisaf ar gyfer unrhyw fis Rhagfyr erioed heblaw dau. Y mis hwn, cyhoeddodd yr Ysgrifennydd Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol £10 miliwn ychwanegol ar gyfer gwasanaethau cymdeithasol, i gefnogi pobl yn eu tai a’u cymunedau ac i leddfu’r pwysau ar y GIG.
> 
> Byddwn yn parhau i ymateb i feysydd perfformiad lle mae angen gwella, ond er gwaethaf y galw eithriadol am wasanaethau, mae ein staff wedi ymateb yn gadarn a phroffesiynol i roi cymorth i gleifion y gaeaf hwn.”

NHS Wales Chief Executive, Andrew Goodall, said: 


> “Our latest figures show that last month was the busiest ever January on record for our A\&E Departments. A\&E attendance by those aged 85 and over, was the second highest ever for any month on record. Flu has also had an impact on capacity across our system with the highest rates for six years. 
> 
> During this busy time, our NHS and social care staff have continued to deliver emergency and planned care with compassion and professionalism. I would like to thank them for their exceptional commitment and hard work during this extremely challenging period. 
> 
> Despite the increased workload, their second highest month of activity on record, the Welsh ambulance service maintained its record of meeting the national target for responding to red calls in every month since the new response model began.  
> 
> We have worked closely with health boards and partners to develop plans for the winter period, and invested an extra £60m to deliver emergency care and ensure planned care can continue. Despite increased pressure, the number of people having to wait more than 36 weeks for treatment actually decreased at the end of December and we expect to see reductions in waiting times up to the end of March. More cancer patients were treated within the target time in January to December 2017 than in any previous year.
> 
> We continue to invest in social services to support our healthcare system and despite the exceptional demand the numbers of Delayed Transfers of Care were the third lowest December on record. This month, the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services announced an additional £10m for social services to support people in their homes and communities and relieve pressure on the NHS. 
> 
> We will continue to respond to areas of performance that need to be improved but despite record levels of demand on service, our staff have provided a resilient and professional response to support patients this winter.”
