This includes, community nurses, community mental health teams, health visitors and community midwives. In secondary care includes, outpatients and diabetes clinics.


This system will enable key services to maintain a visual link with patients, this is especially important in some services delivered in the community, including mental health services. The expansion of the service will allow people to maintain key medical appointments, whilst maintaining social separation.


Offering video consultation will help reduce the spread of the infection of Covid\-19 with less people attending hospitals or clinics, reducing the risk of exposure to both patients and clinicians. It will also allow patients in self\-isolation to maintain contact with medical professionals.


The Health Minister Vaughan Gething, has also today (12th April ) announced £800k of funding to supply carers, care homes and hospice with digital devices to allow them to access medical video consultation services including GP appointments and helping them to contact loved ones during the current lockdown.


The additional funding is being invested to support the existing Digital Communities Wales: Digital Confidence, Health and Well\-being Programme, which provides devices, training and support to public bodies and third sector organisations working with the most vulnerable people in Wales who are not already online. The additional funding will allow the programme, delivered by the Wales Co\-operative Centre, to distribute in the region of 1,000 digital devices to care homes and wards.


Another benefit to the new devices is that people will be able to keep in touch with family and friends. This will help to reduce loneliness and isolation and provide a vital boost to families across Wales.


Minister for Health and Social Services, Vaughan Gething, said:



> Digital technology already plays a huge role in delivering health and social care in Wales. The expansion of the video consultation into community care means that more people can access medical services in a safe environment, reducing the risk for both patients and our dedicated health and care professionals.



> “I’m pleased to also provide further funding to help support the most vulnerable in our community to access digital appointments, with the added benefit of boosting individual wellbeing to provide virtual access to loved ones. I hope this will also give reassurance to family and friends who are unable to visit.


Dr David Hepburn, Intensive Care Consultant, ABUHB:



> Our team have used the application for communication with families of critically ill patients. It is a vital tool to allow us to build close relationships and trust with families who are unable to visit and puts a human face on interactions and allows real\-time updates. We couldn’t provide the service without it.


Lara Ramsay, Director of Inclusive Communities at the Wales Co\-operative Centre said:



> We are all supporting our vulnerable family and friends as best as we can during this current crisis and no doubt many of us are helping them to connect with others through digital technology. It’s really important we equip people who have never been online with the skills to use digital devices safely and with confidence.

> “This critical funding from Welsh Government will enable our Digital Communities Wales Programme to provide our key care providers with access to digital devices so that the people in their care can stay connected and access vital health services during this pandemic.

Mae hyn yn cynnwys Nyrsys Cymunedol, Timau Iechyd Meddwl Cymunedol, Ymwelwyr Iechyd a Bydwragedd Cymunedol. Ym maes gofal cymunedol, mae’n cynnwys cleifion allanol a chlinigau diabetes.


Bydd y system hon yn galluogi gwasanaethau allweddol i gynnal cyswllt gweledol â chleifion, sy’n arbennig o bwysig mewn rhai gwasanaethau a ddarperir yn y gymuned, gan gynnwys gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl. Bydd ehangu’r gwasanaethau yn galluogi pobl i gynnal apwyntiadau meddygol allweddol, wrth gadw pellter cymdeithasol.


Bydd cynnig ymgynghoriad fideo yn helpu i leihau lledaeniad haint COVID\-19 wrth i lai o bobl fynd i ysbytai neu glinigau, gan leihau’r perygl o heintio cleifion a chlinigwyr. Bydd hefyd yn fodd i gleifion sy’n hunanynysu gadw cysylltiad â gweithwyr meddygol proffesiynol.


Heddiw (12 Ebrill), mae’r Gweinidog Iechyd Vaughan Gething hefyd wedi cyhoeddi £800,000 o gyllid i roi dyfeisiau digidol i ofalwyr, cartrefi gofal a hosbisau i’w galluogi i ddefnyddio gwasanaethau ymgynghori fideo meddygol gan gynnwys apwyntiadau â meddyg. Bydd hefyd yn eu galluogi i gysylltu â’u hanwyliaid yn ystod y cyfyngiadau presennol.


Mae’r cyllid ychwanegol yn cael ei fuddsoddi i gefnogi rhaglen bresennol Cymunedau Digidol Cymru: Hyder Digidol, Iechyd a Lles, sy’n darparu dyfeisiau, hyfforddiant a chymorth i gyrff cyhoeddus a sefydliadau’r trydydd sector sy’n gweithio gyda’r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yng Nghymru nad ydynt eisoes ar\-lein. Bydd y cyllid ychwanegol yn galluogi’r rhaglen, a roddir ar waith gan Ganolfan Cydweithredol Cymru, i ddosbarthu tua 1,000 o ddyfeisiau digidol i gartrefi gofal a wardiau.


Un o fanteision eraill y dyfeisiau newydd yw y bydd pobl yn gallu cadw cysylltiad â’u teulu a’u ffrindiau, gan helpu i leihau unigrwydd ac arwahanrwydd a rhoi hwb hanfodol i deuluoedd ledled Cymru.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Vaughan Gething:



> “Mae technoleg ddigidol eisoes yn chwarae rôl enfawr o ran darparu gofal iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru. Mae ehangu’r ymgynghoriad fideo i ofal cymunedol yn golygu y bydd mwy o bobl yn gallu cael gwasanaethau meddygol mewn amgylchedd diogel, gan leihau’r risg i gleifion yn ogystal ag i’n gweithwyr iechyd a gofal ymroddedig.
> 
> 
> “Rwy’n falch hefyd o ddarparu cyllid pellach i helpu i gefnogi’r rhai sydd fwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymunedau i gael apwyntiadau digidol. Bydd y cyllid hwn hefyd yn rhoi hwb ychwanegol i les unigolion drwy gynnig rhith\-gysylltiad ag anwyliaid. Rwy’n gobeithio y bydd hyn hefyd yn rhoi sicrwydd i deulu a ffrindiau na all fynd i weld eu hanwyliaid.”


Dywedodd Dr David Hepburn, Ymgynghorydd Gofal Dwys, Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan:



> “Mae ein tîm wedi defnyddio’r offer i gyfathrebu â theulu cleifion sy’n ddifrifol wael. Mae’n declyn hanfodol sy’n ein galluogi i feithrin perthynas agos ac ymddiriedaeth â theuluoedd na all ddod i weld eu hanwyliaid. Mae’n rhoi gwedd ddynol i’n cysylltiadau â nhw ac yn ei gwneud yn bosibl rhoi diweddariadau amser real. Ni allem ddarparu’r gwasanaeth hebddo.”


Dywedodd Lara Ramsay, Cyfarwyddwr Cymunedau Cynhwysol yng Nghanolfan Cydweithredol Cymru:



> “Rydym ni i gyd yn cefnogi ein teuluoedd a’n ffrindiau agored i niwed cystal ag y gallwn yn ystod yr argyfwng hwn ac mae’n siŵr bod llawer ohonom yn eu helpu i gysylltu ag eraill drwy dechnoleg ddigidol. Mae’n bwysig iawn ein bod yn rhoi’r sgiliau i bobl sydd heb fod ar\-lein o’r blaen i’w galluogi i ddefnyddio dyfeisiau digidol yn ddiogel ac yn hyderus.
