Faecal incontinence (FI) can affect anyone. The largest group is women, both young and old due to the association with pregnancy and obstetric injury. However there are multiple other causes, including surgery for cancer and radiotherapy which affect both men and women.


Following the launch of MASIC (Mothers with Anal Sphincter Injuries in Childbirth) Foundation in Wales, I asked the Women’s Health National Specialist Advisory Group (NSAG) to assess the current situation around FI provision and services.


A task and finish group, chaired by Julie Cornish (consultant colorectal surgeon, Cardiff and Vale UHB), was formed to provide a report setting out the current services to promote pelvic health for women with faecal incontinence in Wales, identify any shortfalls in treatment availability of NICE approved treatment and to make recommendations for service development.


I wish to express my thanks to all members of the group for their hard work in the preparation of their report, which I am pleased to publish today. This report will form the basis on which we can improve the lives of those affected by faecal incontinence.


The Group make a number of recommendations to improve FI services and provide better outcomes for women. This includes ensuring  the referral process between departments and hospitals is streamlined to avoid delays and improve communication, General Practitioners and other health professionals having greater awareness of FI, how to manage it and providing more information to women on the potential risks of childbirth on pelvic health and continence (antenatal and postnatal).


It is important that serious health issues affecting women are dealt with effectively and appropriately. For this reason, I have directed the Women’s Health Implementation Group (WHIG), chaired by Tracy Myhill, Chief Executive of ABMU Health Board, to consider all the recommendations in this report alongside its work on vaginal mesh and tape, endometriosis and the wider matters of pelvic health.


The Women’s Health Implementation Group will provide strategic leadership to ensure an all\-Wales approach to break down barriers and join up pathways between primary, secondary and tertiary care, so women’s health is managed in the community wherever possible, with minimal need for intervention. I have previously announced that the WHIG is being supported by up to £1 million of annual funding.

Gall anymataliaeth ysgarthol effeithio ar unrhyw un.  Y grŵp mwyaf yw menywod, ifanc a hen, oherwydd y cysylltiad â beichiogrwydd ac anaf obstetrig. Fodd bynnag, mae llawer o achosion eraill, gan gynnwys llawdriniaeth am ganser a radiotherapi sy'n effeithio ar ddynion a menywod.


Yn sgil lansio Sefydliad MASIC (Mothers with Anal Sphincter Injuries in Childbirth) yng Nghymru, gofynnais i'r Grŵp Cynghori Arbenigol Cenedlaethol ar Iechyd Menywod i asesu'r sefyllfa bresennol o ran darpariaeth a gwasanaethau anymataliaeth ysgarthol.


Sefydlwyd grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen, o dan gadeiryddiaeth Julie Cornish (llawfeddyg ymgynghorol ym maes y colon a'r rhefr, Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Caerdydd a'r Fro), i ddarparu adroddiad yn amlinellu'r gwasanaethau i hybu iechyd y pelfis sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd i fenywod sydd ag anymataliaeth ysgarthol yng Nghymru, gan nodi unrhyw ddiffygion yn y triniaethau a gynigir ac a gymeradwywyd gan NICE, ac i wneud argymhellion ar gyfer datblygu gwasanaethau.


Hoffwn i ddiolch i holl aelodau'r grŵp am eu gwaith caled yn paratoi'r adroddiad hwn, yr wyf mor falch ei gyhoeddi heddiw. Bydd yr adroddiad hwn yn rhoi'r sail y gallwn wella bywydau'r rheini sydd ag anymataliaeth ysgarthol arni. 


Mae'r Grŵp yn gwneud nifer o argymhellion i wella gwasanaethau anymataliaeth ysgarthol a darparu gwell canlyniadau i fenywod. Mae hyn yn cynnwys sicrhau bod y broses atgyfeirio rhwng adrannau ac ysbytai yn fwy syml i osgoi oedi a gwella cyfathrebu, sicrhau bod Ymarferwyr Cyffredinol a gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol eraill yn fwy ymwybodol o anymataliaeth ysgarthol a sut i'w rheoli a darparu mwy o wybodaeth i fenywod am effaith bosibl geni plant ar iechyd y pelfis ac anymataliaeth (cynenedigol ac ôl\-enedigol).


Rhaid i faterion iechyd difrifol sy'n effeithio ar fenywod gael sylw effeithiol a phriodol. Am y rheswm hwn, rwyf wedi rhoi cyfarwyddyd i'r Grŵp Gweithredu ar Iechyd Menywod, o dan gadeiryddiaeth Tracy Myhill, Prif Weithredwr Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Abertawe Bro Morgannwg, i ystyried holl argymhellion yr adroddiad hwn ynghyd â'i waith ar dâp a rhwyll y wain, endometriosis a materion ehangach iechyd y pelfis. 


Bydd y Grŵp Gweithredu ar Iechyd Menywod yn darparu arweiniad strategol er mwyn gweithredu ar draws Cymru gyfan i chwalu rhwystrau a chyfuno llwybrau gofal sylfaenol, gofal eilaidd a gofal trydyddol, fel bod iechyd menywod yn cael ei reoli yn y gymuned lle bynnag y bo'n bosibl gan leihau'r angen am ymyrraeth. Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi o'r blaen fod y Grŵp Gweithredu ar Iechyd Menywod yn cael cymorth ariannol o hyd at £1 miliwn bob blwyddyn.
