Gosodwyd mesurau arbennig ar y bwrdd iechyd ar 8 Mehefin 2015 yn dilyn pryderon difrifol ac eithriadol ynghylch arweinyddiaeth, llywodraethu a chynnydd yno dros peth amser.

 Dywedodd Vaughan Gething: 

 
> "Yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, rwyf wedi ymweld â'r Gogledd yn rheolaidd i gwrdd â staff, cleifion a phartneriaid. Mae ymroddiad, agwedd gadarnhaol ac ymdrechion y staff i oresgyn yr heriau maent yn eu hwynebu a chyflawni'r gwelliannau sydd eu hangen wedi creu argraff dda iawn arnaf.    
>  "Mae'r bwrdd iechyd wedi cynnal ymgyrch recriwtio gynhwysfawr i gynyddu nifer y staff meddygol. Mae hefyd wedi gwneud cynnydd da o ran gwneud penodiadau allweddol, gan gynnwys penodi Prif Weithredwr, Cyfarwyddwr Meddygol, Cyfarwyddwr Nyrsio a Chyfarwyddwr Iechyd meddwl. Mae hyn yn newydd calonogol.

   
 
> "Rwy'n falch fod yr achos busnes amlinellol dros y Ganolfan Is\-ranbarthol ar gyfer Gofal Dwys i'r Newydd\-anedig wedi cael ei gymeradwyo gennym. Bydd yr achos hwn dros uned o'r radd flaenaf i ofalu am fabanod sâl a babanod sydd wedi cael eu geni'n rhy gynnar yn gallu symud ymlaen nawr i'r cam achos busnes llawn. Bydd yn helpu i ddarparu gofal o'r safon uchaf a'r canlyniadau clinigol gorau i famau a babanod ledled Gogledd Cymru.   
>  "Mae'r bwrdd iechyd wedi cymryd camau i wella'r ffordd y mae'n ymateb i bryderon a chwynion cleifion, ac mae wedi adolygu ei phrosesau llywodraethu.  Mae ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd a staff wedi cael ei bennu'n flaenoriaeth, fel y dylai fod.

 
> "Mae'n amlwg fod y bwrdd iechyd yn dal i wynebu heriau ac mae ganddo lawer o waith i'w wneud cyn y gellir codi'r mesurau arbennig. Dywedais fis Hydref diwethaf y byddai'n cymryd cryn amser iddo wneud y gwelliannau sydd eu hangen, ond mae'r arwyddion o gynnydd yn galonogol.    "Mae'n hanfodol fod y bwrdd iechyd yn dal ati i wella er mwyn adeiladu ar y sylfaen y mae wedi ei gosod yn y 12 mis diwethaf."

The board was placed in special measures on 8 June 2015 following serious and outstanding concerns about the leadership, governance and progress in the health board over some time.

 Vaughan Gething said: 

 
> “In the last year I have visited North Wales regularly to meet staff, patients and partners. I have been impressed by the commitment shown and the positive attitude and efforts of staff to meet the challenges they face and deliver the improvements needed.    
>  “The health board has undertaken a comprehensive recruitment campaign to improve medical staffing levels. Good progress has also been made in making key appointments including a substantive Chief Executive, Medical Director, Director of Nursing and Director of Mental Health. This is welcome news.   
>  “I am pleased that the outline business case for the Sub Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Centre \- a state\-of\-the\-art unit to care for very sick and premature babies \- has been approved by us for progression to the full business case stage. This will help provide the best possible standards of care and clinical outcomes for mothers and babies across North Wales.

 
> “The health board has taken action to improve its responsiveness to patient concerns and complaints, and has reviewed its governance processes. Engagement with both the public and staff has rightly been identified as a priority.   
>  “It’s clear that the health board still faces challenges and has a lot of work to do before it can come out of special measures. I said last October that it would take some time for the health board to deliver the required improvements, but the signs of progress are encouraging.    “Continuing improvement is essential to build on the foundations which have been laid in the last 12 months.”
