The sustainability of the NHS relies heavily upon the ability of the workforce to respond to the challenges it faces from an ageing population to technological advances and a growing demand for healthcare.    

  

The flexibility required must be underpinned by a variety of high quality training and development opportunities which are constantly updated to ensure each member of the workforce has the skills, knowledge and experience to do their job to the best of their ability.  

  

This government has consistently invested in the education and training of individuals wanting to work in the NHS and will continue to do so.  

  

I have previously said that the longer term arrangements for student support for health related subjects will be considered alongside the recommendations arising from the Diamond Review. This remains my view.  

  

We are facing significant financial challenges within the NHS and the issues we face around recruitment and retention must also be recognised. I believe that to ensure we have the workforce we need in Wales, it is important that any enhanced investment made in training and development is combined with an opportunity to work in Wales and a commitment to invest in Wales by those who benefit.  

  

Therefore I am today confirming that for those individuals who elect to study an eligible health related programme in Wales commencing in September 2017 the current NHS Bursary will be available. This will be based upon individuals committing in advance to take up the opportunity to work in Wales post qualification for a period of two years. Individuals who do not feel they can commit to this two year service provision will not be eligible to receive the benefits of the NHS Wales Bursary Scheme, however Welsh domiciled students will have access to the standard student support package available from Student Finance Wales. This arrangement is intended to be in place for the 2017/18 cohort only, while the longer term support package is developed.  

  

In contrast to the approach adopted in England, the Welsh Government is taking positive action to attract more health professionals across Wales and throughout the UK to come to Wales to train, work and live.

Mae cynaliadwyedd y GIG yn dibynnu'n helaeth ar allu'r gweithlu i ymateb i heriau sy'n ei wynebu o boblogaeth sy'n heneiddio i ddatblygiadau technolegol a galw cynyddol am ofal iechyd.   
   
Rhaid i’r hyblygrwydd y mae ei angen fod yn seiliedig ar amrywiaeth o gyfleoedd hyfforddi a datblygu o ansawdd uchel sy'n cael eu diweddaru’n gyson i sicrhau bod gan bob aelod o'r gweithlu'r sgiliau, yr wybodaeth a’r profiad i wneud eu gwaith hyd eithaf eu gallu.  
   
Mae'r Llywodraeth hon wedi buddsoddi’n gyson yn addysg a hyfforddiant unigolion sy'n dymuno gweithio yn y GIG a bydd yn parhau i wneud hynny.  
   
Rwyf wedi dweud o'r blaen y caiff y trefniadau tymor hwy ar gyfer cymorth i fyfyrwyr ym maes pynciau sy’n ymwneud ag iechyd eu hystyried ochr yn ochr â’r argymhellion sy’n deillio o adolygiad Diamond. Dyma yw fy marn i o hyd.  
   
Rydym yn wynebu heriau ariannol sylweddol yn y GIG, a rhaid cydnabod hefyd y problemau yr ydym yn eu hwynebu o ran recriwtio a chadw staff. Er mwyn sicrhau bod gennym y gweithlu y mae arnom ei angen yng Nghymru, credaf ei bod yn bwysig bod unrhyw gynnydd yn y buddsoddiad a wneir mewn hyfforddi a datblygu’n cael ei gyplysu â chyfle i weithio yng Nghymru ac ymrwymiad i fuddsoddi yng Nghymru gan y rhai sy'n elwa.  
   
Felly rwyf yn cadarnhau heddiw y bydd Bwrsariaeth y GIG ar gael i’r  unigolion hynny sy'n dewis astudio rhaglen sy'n gysylltiedig ag iechyd yng Nghymru a hynny o fis Medi 2017\. Y sail ar gyfer hyn fydd bod unigolion yn ymrwymo ymlaen llaw i achub y cyfle i weithio yng Nghymru ar ôl ennill cymhwyster am gyfnod o ddwy flynedd. Ni fydd unigolion nad ydynt yn teimlo y gallant ymrwymo i ddarparu  gwasanaeth am ddwy flynedd yn gymwys i gael buddion Cynllun Bwrsariaeth GIG Cymru. Er hynny, bydd gan fyfyrwyr sy’n preswylio yng Nghymru fynediad i’r pecyn safonol i fyfyrwyr sydd ar gael trwy Gyllid Myfyrwyr Cymru.Bwriedir i’r drefn hon gael ei defnyddio ar gyfer carfan 2017/18 yn unig, tra caiff y pecyn cymorth tymor hwy ei ddatblygu.  
  
Yn wahanol i’r drefn sy’n cael ei mabwysiadu yn Lloegr. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru’n cymryd camau cadarnhaol i ddenu mwy o broffesiynolion iechyd ledled Cymru a ledled y DU i ddod i Gymru i hyfforddi, gweithio a byw.
