Gan gydnabod yr heriau ar draws y system iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, bydd £42m ychwanegol o gyllid ar gael i’r maes gofal cymdeithasol. Bydd peth o’r cyllid yn cael ei ddefnyddio i helpu i liniaru’r pwysau ar welyau ysbyty. Daw hyn ar ben y £248m a gyhoeddwyd eisoes ar gyfer cronfa adfer COVID y GIG.


Defnyddir y buddsoddiad gofal cymdeithasol i wella’r broses o ryddhau cleifion o’r ysbyty, ehangu gwasanaethau cymunedol a lleihau nifer y cleifion bregus ac agored i niwed sy’n cael eu derbyn yn ôl i’r ysbyty, mewn ymdrech i liniaru’r pwysau ar y gwelyau sydd ar gael.


Bydd Cynllun y Gaeaf yn helpu i sicrhau bod gofal mewn argyfwng yn gallu ymdopi, a lleihau unrhyw darfu ar ofal wedi’i gynllunio.


Cyn y daw pwysau’r gaeaf, dywedodd Andrew Goodall bod angen i wasanaethau fod yn barod i ymateb i amgylchiadau sy’n newid yn gyflym, yn ogystal â lleihau’r cyfnod o amser y bydd pobl sy’n cael gofal yn ei dreulio yn yr ysbyty, a’u cefnogi i ddychwelyd adref i barhau i wella.


Mae’r blaenoriaethau allweddol yng Nghynllun y Gaeaf yn cynnwys:


* diogelu pobl rhag COVID\-19 drwy’r rhaglen frechu
* cadw pobl yn iach pan fydd lefelau uchel o’r ffliw a feirysau anadlol tymhorol yn lledaenu
* cynnal cadernid y gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol
* ymateb i effeithiau’r pandemig ar iechyd meddwl
* sicrhau bod gan grwpiau agored i niwed fynediad at y driniaeth y maent ei hangen
* cefnogi iechyd a llesiant staff sydd wedi gweithio’n ddiflino yn ystod y pandemig
* gweithio gyda sefydliadau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol i reoli’r pwysau ar draws y system


Daw hyn ar ôl misoedd o gynllunio a buddsoddiad sylweddol mewn iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol i liniaru effeithiau’r pandemig.


Mae mwy na £248miliwn eisoes wedi’i fuddsoddi drwy gronfa adfer y GIG i helpu Byrddau Iechyd i fynd i’r afael ag amseroedd aros a thrawsnewid y modd y byddant yn darparu gwasanaethau.


Bydd llawer o’r cyllid yn helpu gwasanaethau yn ystod y gaeaf hwn, fel gwasanaethau cludo cleifion nad ydynt yn achosion brys, a fydd yn helpu i liniaru’r pwysau ar wasanaethau ambiwlans a sicrhau y gall cleifion gael mynediad at y gofal y maent ei angen.


Mae buddsoddiadau eraill ar draws Cymru’n cynnwys:


* £14\.4m ar gyfer gofal wedi’i gynllunio ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan
* £8\.2m ar gyfer endosgopi ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
* £2\.5m ar gyfer endosgopi diagnostig ac £1\.4m ar gyfer radioleg ddiagnostig ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Caerdydd a’r Fro
* £2\.9m ar gyfer offthalmoleg ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda
* £1\.3m ar gyfer radioleg a £2m ar gyfer endosgopi ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Bae Abertawe


Mae cymorth i gleifion gydag anghenion clinigol brys, a chronfeydd adfer canolog ar gyfer canser, offthalmoleg a dermatoleg hefyd wedi’u sefydlu. Bydd hyn yn sicrhau y gellir canolbwyntio ar y meysydd allweddol hyn.


Mae £25miliwn ychwanegol yn cael ei fuddsoddi i gefnogi trawsnewid gwasanaethau gofal brys a gofal mewn argyfwng i roi’r gofal iawn, yn y lle iawn, y tro cyntaf. Mae’r Ganolfan Gofal Sylfaenol Brys yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Gwent yn dangos sut y gall gwasanaethau weithio mewn ffordd wahanol, gan alluogi i bobl gael mynediad at gyngor, asesiadau a gofal y tu allan i oriau, ac yn nes at y cartref. Bydd y ganolfan hon yn helpu i leihau’r pwysau ar adrannau argyfwng yn ystod y gaeaf.


Dywedodd Prif Weithredwr GIG Cymru Andrew Goodall:



> Gwyddom mai’r gaeaf hwn fydd un o’r cyfnodau caletaf inni eu hwynebu erioed, wrth inni wynebu her ddeublyg y pandemig a feirysau anadlol, ond bydd Cynllun y Gaeaf yn sicrhau bod gwasanaethau hanfodol ar gael bob amser.
> 
> 
> Mae angen i’n gwasanaethau fod yn hyblyg ac yn gallu ymateb i’r rheini sydd angen gofal yn yr ysbyty pan fydd eu cyflwr yn gwaethygu, yn ogystal â darparu cymorth mor agos â phosibl at y cartref i leihau’r angen iddynt orfod mynd i’r ysbyty i gael gofal.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd Eluned Morgan:



> Mae’r gaeaf yn gyfnod heriol bob amser ac mae’r galw ar ein system iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol wedi bod yn fwy nag erioed yn ystod cyfnod y pandemig. Bydd ein Gwasanaeth Iechyd yn parhau i gynnig gwasanaethau hanfodol ac mae’n gwneud popeth posibl i sicrhau bod gofal wedi’i gynllunio’n parhau drwy gydol y cyfnod prysur hwn. Gall pawb chwarae eu rhan hefyd drwy gael eu brechlyn COVID a’u brechlyn ffliw a meddwl am y gwahanol ddewisiadau sydd ar gael iddynt gael y gofal y maent ei angen.
> 
> 
> Rwyf hefyd yn cyhoeddi £42m o gyllid gofal cymdeithasol heddiw. Mae’r pandemig wedi rhoi’r system gofal cymdeithasol dan bwysau aruthrol ac rydym yn credu y bydd buddsoddi mewn galluogi pobl i gael y gofal cywir adref yn atal derbyniadau diangen i’r ysbyty, yn cyflymu rhyddhau cleifion o’r ysbyty ac yn rhyddhau gwelyau ysbyty angenrheidiol.
> 
> 
> Gyda’r cynllun hwn a’r cyllid ychwanegol gallwn leihau’r tarfu ar ofal wedi’i gynllunio. Fodd bynnag, gyda’r pwysau ar y system nid wyf yn disgwyl y byddwn yn gwneud cynnydd gwirioneddol o ran amseroedd aros tan y gwanwyn.
> 
> 
> Ond rwy’n benderfynol o fynd i’r afael â’r mater hwn ac rwy’n ymwybodol iawn ei bod wedi bod yn amser anodd iawn i bobl sydd wedi bod yn aros yn hir am driniaeth. Bydd y Byrddau Iechyd yn parhau i gefnogi’r rheini sy’n aros am driniaeth.

Recognising the challenges across the health and social care system, there will be an extra £42m funding for social care, some of which will be used to help ease the pressure on hospital beds. This comes on top of £248m already announced for the NHS Covid recovery fund.


The social care investment will be used to improve hospital patient discharges, expand community services and reduce hospital re\-admissions among the frail and vulnerable in an effort to ease pressures on bed capacity.


The Winter Plan will help ensure emergency care is able to cope and minimise disruption to planned care.


Ahead of the winter pressures, Andrew Goodall said services needed to remain ready to respond to rapidly changing circumstances, as well as minimising time spent in hospital for those receiving care and supporting people to return home to continue their recovery.


Key priorities in the Winter Plan include:


* protecting people from Covid\-19 through the vaccination programme
* keeping people well during higher levels of influenza and seasonal respiratory viruses
* maintaining the resilience of health and social care services
* responding to the mental health impact of the pandemic
* ensuring vulnerable groups have access to the treatment they require
* supporting the health and wellbeing of staff who have worked tirelessly during the pandemic
* working with health and social care organisations to manage pressures across the system


It comes after months of planning and significant investment in health and social care to mitigate the effects of the pandemic.


More than £248million has already been invested through the NHS recovery fund to help Health Boards tackle waiting times and transform the way they deliver services.


Much of the funding will help services this winter, like non\-urgent patient transport, which will help ease pressure on ambulance services and ensure patients can access the care they need  

Other investments across Wales include:


* £14\.4m for planned care for Aneurin Bevan University Health Board
* £8\.2m for endoscopy at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
* £2\.5m for diagnostics endoscopy and £1\.4m for diagnostics radiology at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board
* £2\.9m for ophthalmology at Hywel Dda University Health Board
* £1\.3m for radiology and £2m for endoscopy at Swansea Bay University Health Board


To support patients with urgent clinical needs, central recovery funds for cancer, ophthalmology and dermatology have also been established. This will ensure a focus on these key areas.


A further £25million is being invested in supporting the transformation of urgent and emergency care services to deliver the right care in the right place, first time. The Urgent Primary Care Centre at Royal Gwent Hospital demonstrates how services can work differently, allowing people to access out of hours advice, assessment and care closer to home. This centre will help reduce pressure on emergency departments during winter.


NHS Wales Chief Executive Andrew Goodall said:



> We know this winter will be one of the hardest periods we have ever faced, as we face the twin challenges of the pandemic and respiratory viruses, but our Winter Plan will ensure essential services keep running.
> 
> 
> Our services need to be agile and able to respond to those who need hospital care when their condition worsens, as well as providing support as close to home as possible to reduce their need to attend hospital to receive care.


Health Minister Eluned Morgan said:


Winter is always a challenging period and the demands on our health and social care system have never been greater than this pandemic period. Our NHS will continue to deliver essential services and is doing everything it can to ensure planned care continues through this busy period. Everyone can play their part too by getting their COVID and flu jabs and thinking about the different options for getting the care they need.


I am also announcing £42m of social care funding today. The pandemic has put the social care system under great strain and we believe investing in allowing people to access the right care at home will prevent unnecessary hospital admissions, speed up patient discharges and create much\-needed additional bed capacity in our hospitals.


With this plan and additional funding we can reduce disruption to planned care. However with the pressures on the system I don’t expect us to make real inroads into waiting times until the spring.


But I am determined to tackle this issue and am very aware of what a difficult time it has been for those who have been waiting a long time for treatment. Health Boards will continue to support those who are waiting for treatment.
