The National Workforce Implementation Plan has been published in response to the additional demands on the NHS workforce since the COVID\-19 pandemic.  

  

The NHS Wales workforce is at record levels, with over 105,000 staff directly employed currently. However, there is expected to be increasing demand globally for healthcare workers, with the World Health Organisation predicting a shortfall of 10 million health workers globally by 2030.  

  

The plan includes immediate actions to address the current pressures within the NHS. The actions include ethically recruiting more nurses from overseas, with a recruitment drive planned for later in 2023\. Last year the ‘Once for Wales’ pilot campaign led to around 400 nurses joining the NHS.  

  

There are also plans to create an ‘All\-Wales Collaborative Bank’ to enable the NHS to address short\-term staffing issues and provide staff with choice and flexibility, while encouraging a move away from agency working.  

  

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) is developing proposals to deploy reservists to support the regular workforce at times of extreme pressure, such as for the urgent roll\-out of a national vaccination programme, as seen during the pandemic.  

  

The Welsh Government also plans to encourage more volunteers into the health and care system, adding to the existing network of people who give their time to help others.  

  

The Welsh Government will issue detailed plans for specific professions and services such as nursing, dentistry and pharmacy over the next two years.  

  

Eluned Morgan, the Minister for Health and Social Services, said:



> Our health workforce has reached record numbers in Wales, to help meet the increasing demand on its services. But we are seeing demand for health and social care like never before, in Wales and across the world.  
> 
>   
> 
> Our plans are based on what NHS staff have been telling us \- that rapid action is needed in key areas now.  
> 
>   
> 
> The message is clear: we must accelerate our action, with strong, collective and compassionate leadership, if we are to improve retention and recruitment. It’s vital we provide our workforce with the working environment it needs to continue to provide world\-class care for the people of Wales.


Dr Olwen Williams OBE, vice president for Wales, Royal College of Physicians said:



> We know the NHS workforce is under a great deal of pressure. In our most recent membership survey in December 2022, the Royal College of Physicians found that staff shortages are the biggest challenge facing the NHS, with 64% of respondents in Wales saying they were being asked to fill rota gaps at short notice and 49% saying that reducing staff vacancies in their team would make the biggest difference to their wellbeing.  
> 
>   
> 
> I’m delighted to see this plan published. We’ve previously joined with other royal colleges and professional bodies to call for action, and this is an important first step in the process. We also welcome recent engagement with the royal colleges over this workforce plan and hope to continue these conversations.

Mae’r Cynllun Gweithredu Cenedlaethol ar gyfer y Gweithlu wedi’i gyhoeddi mewn ymateb i’r galw ychwanegol ar weithlu’r GIG ers pandemig COVID\-19\.  

  

Mae gweithlu GIG Cymru ar ei lefel uchaf erioed, gyda thros 105,000 o aelodau o staff yn cael eu cyflogi’n uniongyrchol ar hyn o bryd. Serch hynny, mae disgwyl i’r galw byd\-eang am weithwyr gofal iechyd gynyddu, gyda Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd yn amcangyfrif diffyg o 10 miliwn o weithwyr iechyd yn fyd\-eang erbyn 2030.  

  

Mae’r cynllun yn cynnwys camau i’w gweithredu ar unwaith i ymateb i’r pwysau sydd ar y GIG ar hyn o bryd. Mae’r camau’n cynnwys recriwtio rhagor o nyrsys o dramor yn foesegol, gydag ymgyrch recriwtio yn yr arfaeth ar gyfer nes ymlaen yn 2023\. Y llynedd, gwnaeth yr ymgyrch beilot ‘Unwaith i Gymru’ arwain at tua 400 o nyrsys yn ymuno â’r GIG.  

  

Mae yna hefyd gynlluniau i greu “Banc Cydweithredol Cymru Gyfan” i alluogi’r GIG i ddelio â materion staffio tymor byr a rhoi dewis a hyblygrwydd i staff, a hefyd annog symud i ffwrdd o waith asiantaeth.  

  

Mae Addysg a Gwella Iechyd Cymru (AaGIC) yn datblygu cynigion i ddefnyddio gweithwyr wrth gefn i gefnogi’r gweithlu rheolaidd pan fo pwysau eithafol arno, megis i weithredu rhaglen frechu genedlaethol ar frys, fel y gwelwyd yn ystod y pandemig.  

  

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru hefyd yn bwriadu annog mwy o wirfoddolwyr i’r system iechyd a gofal, gan ychwanegu at y rhwydwaith presennol o bobl sy’n rhoi o’u hamser i helpu eraill.  

  

Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cyhoeddi cynlluniau manwl ar gyfer proffesiynau a gwasanaethau penodol megis nyrsio, deintyddiaeth a fferylliaeth dros y ddwy flynedd nesaf.  

  

Dywedodd Eluned Morgan, y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol:



> Mae ein gweithlu iechyd wedi cyrraedd ei lefel uchaf erioed yng Nghymru, i helpu i ateb y galw cynyddol ar ei wasanaethau. Ond rydym yn gweld galw digynsail ar iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, yng Nghymru ac o amgylch y byd.  
> 
>   
> 
> Mae ein cynlluniau wedi’u seilio ar yr hyn y mae staff y Gwasanaeth Iechyd wedi bod yn ei ddweud wrthym – bod angen gweithredu’n gyflym mewn meysydd allweddol nawr.  
> 
>   
> 
> Mae’r neges yn glir: rhaid inni gyflymu’r camau yr ydym yn eu cymryd, gyda chymorth arweinyddiaeth gref, gyfunol a thosturiol er mwyn gwella’r sefyllfa o ran cadw a recriwtio staff. Mae’n hanfodol ein bod yn darparu'r amgylchedd gwaith sydd ei angen ar ein gweithlu i allu parhau i ddarparu gofal o’r radd flaenaf i bobl Cymru.


Dywedodd Dr Olwen Williams OBE, Is\-lywydd Coleg Brenhinol y Meddygon ar gyfer Cymru:



> Rydym yn gwybod bod gweithlu’r GIG o dan lawer o bwysau. Yn ein harolwg aelodaeth diweddaraf ym mis Rhagfyr 2022, canfu Coleg Brenhinol y Meddygon mai prinder staff yw’r her fwyaf sy’n wynebu’r GIG, gyda 64% o ymatebwyr yng Nghymru yn dweud y gofynnir iddyn nhw lenwi bylchau rota ar fyr rybudd a 49% yn dweud mai lleihau nifer y swyddi gwag yn eu tîm fyddai’n gwneud y gwahaniaeth mwyaf i'w lles.  
> 
>   
> 
> Rwy’n falch iawn o weld y cynllun hwn yn cael ei gyhoeddi o’r diwedd. Rydym eisoes wedi ymuno â cholegau brenhinol a chyrff proffesiynol eraill i alw am weithredu, ac mae hwn yn gam cyntaf pwysig yn y broses. Rydym hefyd yn croesawu trafodaethau diweddar gyda’r colegau brenhinol am y cynllun gweithlu hwn ac yn gobeithio y gallwn barhau â’r sgyrsiau hyn.
