Heddiw bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn lansio Rhaglen Plant Iach Cymru yn ystod digwyddiad yng Nghaerdydd sy’n rhan o wythnos ymwelwyr iechyd. O 1 Hydref, bydd holl fyrddau iechyd Cymru’n dechrau rhoi’r rhaglen ar waith.   
  
Bwriedir iddi fod yn rhaglen iechyd gynhwysol i bob teulu sydd â phlant 0 \- 7 oed. Bydd yn cynnwys amrywiaeth gyson o fesurau ataliol ac ymyrraeth gynnar sy’n seiliedig ar dystiolaeth (e.e. sgrinio, archwiliadau datblygu), a chyngor a chanllawiau i gefnogi rhianta a dewisiadau iach o ran ffordd o fyw. Mae’r rhaglen yn nodi beth y mae plant a theuluoedd yn gallu ei ddisgwyl o ran cysylltiadau wedi’u trefnu â’u byrddau iechyd wrth iddynt symud o’r gwasanaeth mamolaeth i flynyddoedd cynnar ysgol (0\-7 oed). Mae’r cysylltiadau cynhwysol hyn yn cynnwys tri maes ymyrryd: sgrinio; imiwneiddio; a monitro a chefnogi datblygiad plentyn.  
  
Hoffem achub ar y cyfle hwn i ganmol gwaith yr holl weithwyr proffesiynol a gyfrannodd at ddatblygu Rhaglen Plant Iach Cymru. Mae’r fenter hon, a arweiniwyd gan y gwasanaethau, wedi achub ar y cyfle i asesu darpariaethau presennol byrddau iechyd yng ngoleuni’r dystiolaeth ddiweddaraf. Cytunwyd wedyn ar ddull o fonitro a chefnogi datblygiad plentyn ar gyfer Cymru gyfan.   
  
Mae mynd i’r afael ag anghydraddoldebau iechyd yn flaenoriaeth i Lywodraeth Cymru. Mae tlodi plant yn her sylweddol wrth gyflawni canlyniadau iechyd gwell. Yn aml, mae’r plant hyn yn byw mewn teuluoedd ansefydlog ac yn symud rhwng byrddau iechyd. Drwy ddatblygu a darparu gwasanaethau sy’n cynnwys set sylfaenol o gysylltiadau cynhwysol yng Nghymru, bydd byrddau iechyd yn lleihau’r posibilrwydd na fydd y plant hyn a’u teuluoedd yn manteisio ar effaith gadarnhaol rhaglen ymyrraeth gynnar a rhaglen iechyd y cyhoedd.  
  
Ni fydd un gwasanaeth ar ei ben ei hunan yn cyflawni’r effaith gadarnhaol ar iechyd a llesiant plant yr hoffem ni i gyd ei gweld. Nodwedd bwysig Rhaglen Plant Iach Cymru lwyddiannus fydd cydweithio mewn partneriaeth ag awdurdodau lleol, cymunedau, y byd addysg a’r trydydd sector. Rydym yn credu y bydd byrddau iechyd, drwy Raglen Plentyn Iach Cymru, yn darparu sylfaen gadarn i gyflawni’r canlyniadau angenrheidiol yn ystod y blynyddoedd cynnar.

 Today the Welsh Government will launch the Healthy Child Wales Programme (HCWP) at a health visiting week event in Cardiff. From the 1 October, all Welsh health boards will begin implementation of the programme.  

  

The HCWP is intended to be a universal health programme for all families with 0 – 7 year old children, to include a consistent range of evidence based preventative and early intervention measures (e.g. screening, developmental checks), and advice and guidance to support parenting and healthy lifestyle choices. At its core the HCWP sets out what planned contacts children and their families can expect from their health boards from maternity service handover to the first years of schooling (0\-7 years). These universal contacts cover three areas of intervention: screening; immunisation; and monitoring and supporting child development.  

  

We would like to take this opportunity to commend the work of all the health professionals who have contributed to the development of the Healthy Child Wales Programme. This service\-led initiative has taken the opportunity to assess current health board offers in light of the latest evidence and developed an agreed all Wales approach to monitoring and supporting child development.  

  

Addressing health inequalities is a focus for the Welsh Government. Child poverty is a significant challenge to delivering improved health outcomes. These children are the most likely to have unstable home situations and move between health boards. By developing and delivering services with a core set of all Wales universal contacts, health boards will minimise the possibility of these children and families missing out on the positive impact of an early intervention and public health programme.  

  

No one service working in isolation will achieve the positive impact on children’s health and well\-being that we all want. A key aspect of the success of the Healthy Child Wales Programme will be its partnership working with local authorities, communities, education and the third sector. We believe that with the Healthy Child Wales Programme, health boards in Wales will provide a solid platform to deliver the required improvements across the early years.  

  

An overview of the introduction of the Healthy Child Wales Programme has been published on the Welsh Government website.
