 I am pleased to announce that, after careful consideration, I have approved the Full Business Case for the Specialist and Critical Care Centre (SCCC) at Llanfrechfa Grange and the release of capital funding from 2016/17 to 2021/22 to construct the hospital.  

  

Whilst final tender costs are yet to be agreed, the SCCC represents an investment of some £350m in the creation of a modern, purpose designed hospital which will enable the provision of high quality outcomes for patients.  

  

The SCCC forms a key part of the ambitious Clinical Futures project, launched in 2004, to modernise health services in Gwent and will create a highly specialised environment to support the treatment of patients who need complex and acute emergency care in the region.  

  

There has been an understandably high level of public and political interest in this project.  My officials worked closely with the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board as the full business case was developed. Given the significant value and complexity of the investment, the business case warranted robust scrutiny to ensure it meets the key investment criteria of health gain, equity, clinical and skills sustainability, value for money and revenue affordability.  

  

The final report of the South Wales Programme, published in March 2014, proposed a five major acute hospital site model and included the SCCC as one of the five sites.  Consolidating some complex and more acute services on one hospital site will allow the local health board to secure a range of benefits including:


* Improvements in the quality of care for patients in line with national standards, evidence and best practice;
* Support for the broad range of local services delivered through the Local General Hospitals.
* Faster access to care for patients by reducing bottlenecks in the hospital system and improving links with tertiary services;
* Specialised acute services becoming  more sustainable and robust 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by developing single, integrated teams and extended working days;
* Recruitment and retention improvement  in these specialist areas and support for the training and development of staff, including training our doctors of the future;
* A modern environment that optimises efficiency and effectiveness for patients, staff and visitors.


The Welsh Government has already provided significant funding support for the development of local general hospitals in the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board area, with funding of £217m for the construction of Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan and Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr which opened in 2010 and 2011 respectively.


 


The SCCC has strong support in the Gwent community, among other Local Health Boards in the South Wales Programme area, from the five Gwent Borough councils, the local Community Health Council and a range of voluntary and community groups.  

  

Today’s announcement is an important demonstration of support for the integrated model envisaged by Clinical Futures, and means that the health board can proceed with the construction of the new hospital.  

  

The advent of the SCCC will lead to further changes at the other acute hospital sites run by ABUHB; the Royal Gwent, Nevill Hall and St.Woolos Hospitals. While they will continue to provide a wide range of acute services which can safely and sustainably be provided locally the future business cases for the Royal Gwent and Nevill Hall Hospitals will need to demonstrate how the system would fully achieve the clinical, workforce and efficiency benefits of this tiered model. The SCCC will bring together the more specialised services for the Gwent population. I expect the local health board to demonstrate that it will take full advantage of the opportunity provided by the SCCC to transform services within its area.  

  

The SCCC will also have a key regional role, working as part of the wider major acute hospital system across south Wales. The South Wales Programme set out an agreed strategic direction for the future, with the SCCC as a key component working with other major acute hospitals to secure sustainable, high quality services which deliver the best possible outcomes for patients. The other acute hospitals, within ABUHB and also in other LHBs, will have an important role in supporting this strategic direction. The drive to improve care never stops, and I am determined that we plan and develop services on a regional as well as a local basis to benefit the population of south Wales as a whole.  

  

I expect the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board to now proceed with construction and commissioning of the new hospital which is currently estimated to open in 2022\.   I also expect local health boards across south Wales to increase the pace of regional planning to ensure that the full benefits of this decision to support the SCCC are realised.  

  

The Presiding Officer has agreed to amend tomorrow’s plenary agenda to enable me to make an Oral Statement on this.

Mae’n bleser gen i gyhoeddi fy mod, ar ôl ystyriaeth ofalus, wedi cymeradwyo’r Achos Busnes Llawn ar gyfer y Ganolfan Gofal Arbenigol a Chritigol (CGACh) yn Llanfrechfa Grange a rhyddhau cyllid cyfalaf rhwng 2016/17 a 2021/22 er mwyn adeiladu’r ysbyty.  
  
Er bod costau terfynol y tendr eto i’w cytuno, mae’r CGACh yn fuddsoddiad gwerth £350m i greu ysbyty modern wedi’i gynllunio’n bwrpasol a fydd yn gallu darparu canlyniadau o ansawdd uchel ar gyfer cleifion.  
  
Mae’r CGACh yn rhan allweddol o brosiect uchelgeisiol Dyfodol Clinigol a lansiwyd yn 2004, er mwyn moderneiddio gwasanaethau iechyd yng Ngwent a bydd yn creu awyrgylch arbenigol iawn i helpu trin cleifion sydd angen gofal brys cymhleth ac aciwt yn y rhanbarth.  
  
Yn ôl y disgwyl cafwyd llawer o ddiddordeb yn y prosiect hwn gan y cyhoedd a gwleidyddion.  Gweithiodd fy swyddogion yn agos gyda Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan wrth i’r achos busnes llawn gael ei ddatblygu. O gofio am werth sylweddol y buddsoddiad a’i gymhlethdod, roedd angen craffu’n fanwl ar yr achos busnes er mwyn sicrhau ei fod yn bodloni’r meini prawf allweddol ar gyfer buddsoddi, sef cynnydd mewn iechyd, cydraddoldeb, cynaliadwyedd clinigol a sgiliau, gwerth am arian a fforddiadwyedd refeniw.  
  
Argymhellodd adroddiad terfynol Rhaglen De Cymru, a gyhoeddwyd ym Mawrth 2014, fodel oedd yn cynnig pum prif ysbyty aciwt, gan gynnwys yr CGACh fel un o’r pum safle.  Bydd uno rhai gwasanaethau cymhleth a mwy aciwt ar un safle ysbyty yn galluogi’r bwrdd iechyd lleol i sicrhau nifer o fanteision gan gynnwys:    


* Gwelliannau yn ansawdd y gofal ar gyfer cleifion yn unol â safonau cenedlaethol, tystiolaeth ac arfer gorau;
* Cefnogi’r ystod eang o wasanaethau lleol sy’n cael eu darparu gan yr Ysbytai Cyffredinol Lleol.
* Mynediad cyflymach i ofal ar gyfer cleifion drwy leihau tagfeydd mewn systemau ysbytai a gwella cysylltiadau gyda gwasanaethau trydyddol;
* Y gwasanaethau aciwt mwy arbenigol hyn yn dod yn fwy cynaliadwy a chadarn  24 awr y dydd, saith diwrnod yr wythnos, drwy ddatblygu timau integredig sengl a diwrnodau gwaith estynedig;
* Gwella recriwtio a chadw yn y meysydd arbenigol hyn a chefnogi hyfforddiant a datblygiad staff, gan gynnwys hyfforddi doctoriaid y dyfodol.
* Amgylchedd modern sydd mor effeithlon ac effeithiol â phosibl ar gyfer cleifion, staff ac ymwelwyr.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru eisoes wedi darparu cymorth ariannol sylweddol ar gyfer datblygu ysbytai cyffredinol lleol yn ardal Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan gan ariannu £217m ar gyfer adeiladu Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan ac Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr a agorwyd yn 2010 a 2011\.  
Mae yna gefnogaeth gref i’r CGACh yng nghymuned Gwent, ymhlith Byrddau Iechyd Lleol eraill yn ardal Rhaglen De Cymru, gan y pum cyngor bwrdeistref yng Ngwent, y Cyngor Iechyd Cymuned lleol ac ystod o grwpiau gwirfoddol a chymunedol.  
  
Mae cyhoeddiad heddiw yn gefnogaeth bwysig i’r model integredig oedd yn cael ei ragweld gan Dyfodol Clinigol, ac mae’n golygu y gall y bwrdd iechyd fwrw iddi i adeiladu’r ysbyty newydd.   
  
Bydd dyfodiad yr CGACh yn arwain at newidiadau pellach yn yr ysbytai aciwt eraill sy’n cael eu rhedeg gan BIPAB; ysbytai Brenhinol Gwent, Nevill Hall a St.Woolos. Er y byddant yn parhau i ddarparu ystod eang o wasanaethau aciwt y gellir eu cynnig yn ddiogel ac yn gynaliadwy yn lleol bydd angen i achosion busnes y dyfodol ar gyfer Ysbytai Brenhinol Gwent a Nevill Hall ddangos sut y byddai’r system yn gallu sicrhau buddion y model aml\-haenog hwn yn glinigol, ar gyfer y gweithlu, ac o ran effeithlonrwydd. Bydd yr CGACh yn dwyn ynghyd y gwasanaethau mwy arbenigol ar gyfer poblogaeth Gwent.  Byddaf yn disgwyl i’r bwrdd iechyd lleol ddangos y bydd yn manteisio i’r eithaf ar y cyfle sy’n cael ei ddarparu gan yr CGACh i drawsnewid gwasanaethau yn ei ardal.  
  
Bydd gan yr CGACh rôl ranbarthol allweddol hefyd fel rhan o system ehangach ysbytai aciwt mawr yn Ne Cymru. Nododd Rhaglen De Cymru gyfeiriad strategol wedi’i gytuno ar gyfer y dyfodol, gyda’r CGACh yn elfen allweddol sy’n gweithio gydag ysbytai aciwt mawr eraill er mwyn sicrhau gwasanaethau cynaliadwy, o ansawdd uchel sy’n darparu’r canlyniadau gorau posibl i gleifion. Bydd gan yr ysbytai aciwt eraill yn BIPAB a hefyd mewn BILl eraill rôl bwysig i’w chwarae i gefnogi’r cyfeiriad strategol hwn. Rhaid i ni beidio â llaesu dwylo wrth fynd ati i wella gofal, a rwy’n benderfynol ein bod yn cynllunio ac yn datblygu gwasanaethau ar lefel rhanbarthol yn ogystal â lleol er budd poblogaeth De Cymru yn ei chyfanrwydd.  
  
Rwy’n disgwyl i Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan fynd ati yn awr i adeiladu a chomisiynu’r ysbyty newydd y mae disgwyl iddi agor yn 2022\. Rwyf hefyd yn disgwyl i fyrddau iechyd lleol ledled De Cymru i gyflymu eu cynllunio rhanbarthol er mwyn sicrhau fod holl fanteision y penderfyniad hwn i gefnogi’r CGACh yn cael eu gwireddu.  
  
Mae'r Llywydd wedi cytuno i ddiwygio agenda’r cyfarfod llawn yfory i'm galluogi i wneud datganiad llafar ar hyn.
