In February, I announced that the Welsh Government is investing £104m over the next 4 years in the Warm Homes Programme to increase the energy efficiency of up to 25,000 homes across Wales.


Investing in home energy efficiency improvements delivers multiple benefits. It reduces household energy bills, reduces energy use and carbon emissions, creates employment and business opportunities in the local supply chain, and improves the health and well\-being of the households supported.  

  

We know that living in a cold home can have a significant impact on the health of occupants. By making homes warmer, we are making a long term improvement to health and wellbeing and in doing so, reducing the burden on our public services.


In October we published an Emerging Findings Report on the Fuel Poverty Data Linking Project, which uses anonymously linked data to explore the impact of home energy efficiency measures installed through the Warm Homes Programme on the health of recipients. The emerging findings indicated a positive impact on health and noted that a more complex analysis would follow in the next report.


Yesterday, we published the latest report.


The findings are very encouraging. They include:


* A significant positive effect on respiratory health with a 3\.9% decrease in the average number of respiratory GP Events for those receiving Nest measures, compared with a 9\.8% increase in the average number of events for the control group for the same period.
* A similar pattern was found for asthma GP events, with a 6\.5% decrease in those receiving measures, compared with a 12\.5% increase in the control group.
* The data suggests a 'protective effect' on rates of prescribing for infection, with a smaller increase in the average number of prescriptions for infection for those receiving measures.
* The data also suggests a positive impact on emergency hospital admissions for both cardiovascular and respiratory conditions.


This research shows the Warm Homes Programme is helping to prevent cold related health problems, with a knock on reduction in the use of our healthcare services. This makes a strong contribution to our goals of a Healthier, more Equal and more Prosperous Wales.


The findings support our decision to extend the eligibility criteria for a new Nest scheme to include householders on low incomes who have a respiratory or circulatory condition, in addition to those in receipt of a means tested benefit.


Work on the Fuel Poverty Data Linking project will continue and I look forward to sharing future findings with you. These will include comparing admissions for two years before and after installation, looking at additional health conditions, a comparative analysis of the health impacts of the Nest and Arbed schemes, and the impact of the Nest scheme on educational attainment.

Ym mis Chwefror, cyhoeddais fod Llywodraeth Cymru’n buddsoddi £104 miliwn dros y pedair blynedd nesaf yn y rhaglen Cartrefi Clyd i wneud hyd at 25,000 o gartrefi ledled Cymru yn fwy ynni\-effeithiol.

Daw llawer o fanteision o fuddsoddi i arbed ynni mewn cartrefi. Mae’n arwain at ddefnyddio llai o ynni gan leihau biliau ynni ac allyriadau carbon, yn creu cyfleoedd gwaith a busnes yn y gadwyn gyflenwi leol, ac yn gwella iechyd a lles aelwydydd.

Gwyddom y gall byw mewn cartref oer gael effaith arwyddocaol ar iechyd y trigolion. Trwy wneud cartrefi’n gynhesach, rydym yn gwneud gwelliant tymor hir i’w hiechyd a’u lles gan leihau’r baich ar y gwasanaethau cyhoeddus.

Ym mis Hydref, cyhoeddon ni adroddiad ar ganfyddiadau’r Prosiect Cysylltu Data Tlodi Tanwydd sy’n defnyddio data dienw i ymchwilio i effaith mesurau arbed ynni a osodwyd o dan y rhaglen Cartrefi Clyd ar iechyd y rheini sy’n eu derbyn. Roedd y canfyddiadau cychwynnol yn dangos effaith bositif ar iechyd a nodwyd y byddai’r adroddiad nesaf yn cynnwys dadansoddiad cymhlethach.

Ddoe, cyhoeddon ni’r adroddiad diweddaraf.

Mae’r canfyddiadau’n galonogol iawn. Yn eu plith:

 * Effaith bositif arwyddocaol ar iechyd resbiradol gyda gostyngiad o 3\.9% ar gyfartaledd ar nifer yr ymweliadau â’r meddyg teulu ynghylch anhwylderau resbiradol ymhlith y rheini sy’n elwa ar fesurau Nyth, o’i gymharu â chynnydd o 9\.8% yn nifer ymweliadau’r grŵp rheolydd dros yr un cyfnod.
* Gwelwyd patrwm tebyg hefyd gydag asthma, gyda 6\.5% o ostyngiad yn y grŵp Nyth a 12\.5% o gynnydd yn y grŵp rheoli yn yr un cyfnod.
* Mae’r data’n awgrymu hefyd y bydd yna ‘effaith amddiffynnol’ ar gyfraddau rhoi presgripsiynau i ddelio â heintiau, gyda llai o gynnydd yn nifer y presgripsiynau ar gyfartaledd i’r rheini sy’n rhan o gynllun Nyth.
* Mae’r data’n awgrymu hefyd bod effaith gadarnhaol ar y nifer sy’n mynd i’r ysbyty fel achos brys oherwydd afiechydon cardiofasgwlaidd a resbiradol

 Mae’r ymchwil yn dangos bod y rhaglen Cartrefi Clyd yn helpu i atal problemau iechyd sy’n gysylltiedig ag oerfel ac mae hynny wrth gwrs yn effeithio ar y defnydd o’n gwasanaethau iechyd. Mae hyn yn cyfrannu’n fawr at ein hamcanion ynghylch Cymru Iachach, mwy Cyfartal a mwy Ffyniannus.

Mae’r canfyddiadau’n cefnogi’n penderfyniad i gynyddu’r nifer sy’n gymwys am gynllun newydd *Nyth*, er mwyn cynnwys pobl ar incwm isel sydd â phroblemau anadlu neu â’u cylchrediad, yn ogystal â’r rheini sy’n derbyn budd\-dal sy’n seiliedig ar brawf modd.

Bydd y gwaith ar y prosiect Cysylltu Data Tlodi Tanwydd yn parhau ac edrychaf ymlaen at rannu canfyddiadau â chi yn y dyfodol, er enghraifft cymharu’r nifer sy’n cael eu hel i ysbyty ddwy flynedd cyn a dwy flynedd ar ôl gosod y mesurau arbed ynni, edrych ar afiechydon eraill, cymharu effeithiau cynlluniau Nyth ac Arbed ar iechyd, ac effaith Nyth ar gyrhaeddiad addysgol.
