> "Er gwaethaf profi un o'r gaeafau prysuraf ar gofnod, mae'r gwasanaeth iechyd wedi llwyddo i ddarparu gofal amserol a phroffesiynol i gleifion yn y mwyafrif helaeth o achosion. 
> 
> "Dyma'r ail gyfnod prysuraf ar gofnod ar gyfer derbyniadau i’r ysbyty rhwng mis Ionawr a mis Mawrth, a oedd yn cynnwys lefelau uchel iawn o'r ffliw a phobl hŷn yn cael eu derbyn i'r ysbyty. Roedd y tywydd eithafol yn ystod dechrau mis Mawrth hefyd yn ei gwneud yn hynod anodd i'n gwasanaeth iechyd weithredu. Mae hyn wedi cael effaith amlwg ar amseroedd aros adrannau brys ledled Cymru. 
> 
> "Unwaith eto, hoffwn ddiolch i staff y gwasanaeth iechyd a'r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol am eu hymroddiad rhagorol wrth ddarparu gofal yn ystod y cyfnod hynod heriol hwn.
> 
> "Rydyn ni wedi buddsoddi £20m yn ychwanegol dros gyfnod y gaeaf i helpu byrddau iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol ymdopi â'r pwysau ychwanegol. Er gwaetha'r pwysau parhaus ar ofal heb ei drefnu, roedd y byrddau iechyd wedi gallu gwneud cynnydd wrth ddarparu gofal wedi'i drefnu. Roedd yr amseroedd aros am driniaeth ym mis Chwefror yn well na'r mis blaenorol. Mae canran y bobl sy'n aros llai na 26 wythnos am driniaeth wedi gwella 1\.7% dros y mis, ac mae nifer y cleifion sy'n aros dros 36 wythnos am driniaeth wedi gostwng 17%. 
> 
> "Mae nifer y bobl sy'n aros dros 14 wythnos am wasanaethau therapi penodol wedi gostwng 44% dros y mis gan gyrraedd y lefel isaf ers mis Awst 2011\. Mae nifer y bobl sy'n aros dros 14 wythnos am wasanaeth Diagnosteg wedi gostwng tua thraean, ac mae wedi cyrraedd y lefel isaf ers mis Tachwedd 2010\.

> "Yn ystod mis Chwefror, gwella wnaeth yr amseroedd aros am driniaeth ar gyfer canser ac i'r Gwasanaethau Iechyd Meddwl Plant a'r Glasoed.

> "Mae ein buddsoddiadau parhaus mewn gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn cael effaith amlwg, ac mae'r niferoedd a brofodd oedi wrth drosglwyddo gofal ym mis Mawrth yn parhau yn hanesyddol o isel, sef yr 8fed ffigur misol isaf ers 2004, er gwaetha'r holl bwysau ar y system. 
> 
> "Unwaith eto, fe wnaeth y Gwasanaeth Ambiwlans gyrraedd ei darged ar gyfer galwadau coch am y 30ain mis yn olynol ers cyflwyno'r model newydd er gwaethaf galw cynyddol parhaus a'r mis Mawrth prysuraf ar gofnod. Roedd nifer dyddiol y galwadau coch ar gyfartaledd ym mis Mawrth yn uwch na mis Chwefror 2018, ac am y pedwerydd mis yn olynol, mae'r cyfartaledd dyddiol wedi bod dros 70 o alwadau.

> "Rwy'n falch bod y gwasanaeth iechyd wedi parhau i ddarparu gofal brys a gofal iechyd wedi'i drefnu mewn modd proffesiynol yn ystod y cyfnod hynod brysur hwn. Mae gwaith cynllunio'r byrddau iechyd a'r awdurdodau lleol wedi helpu i gyflawni hyn, ac rydym yn gweithio gyda nhw drwy'r flwyddyn i wella'r cynlluniau hyn ar gyfer y dyfodol. 
> 
> "Fodd bynnag, rydyn ni'n cydnabod bod rhai cleifion wedi bod yn aros am gyfnod hirach nag sy'n dderbyniol. Rydyn ni wedi nodi'n glir ein disgwyliadau o ran perfformiad wrth fyrddau iechyd a byddwn yn gweithio gyda nhw i werthuso'r mesurau sydd wedi'u cymryd dros y gaeaf hwn."

Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said: 


> “Despite experiencing one of the busiest winters on record, in the vast majority of cases, NHS Wales has delivered timely, professional care to patients. 
> 
> “It has been the second busiest January to March for attendance at emergency departments on record, including very high levels of flu and elderly admissions. The extreme weather in early March also made it extremely difficult for our NHS to operate, which has clearly had an effect on waiting times in emergency departments across Wales. 
> 
> “Once again I would like to thank health and social services staff for their outstanding commitment in delivering care during a very challenging period. We have invested an additional £20m over the winter to help health boards and social care cope with the extra pressure. Despite continued unscheduled care pressures, health boards were still able to make progress with scheduled care during this busy time.
> 
> “There were improvements in waiting times for treatment in February compared to the previous month. Those waiting less than 26 weeks improved by 1\.7% over the month, and the number waiting over 36 weeks decreased by 17%. 
> 
> “The number of people waiting more than 14 weeks for specified therapy services fell by 44% over the month and to the lowest since August 2011\. The number of people waiting more than 14 weeks for diagnostics decreased by around a third and is the lowest since Nov 2010\.
> 
> “February also saw improvements in cancer treatment and child and adolescent mental health services waiting times.
> 
> “Our continued investment in social services is clearly having an effect, and the numbers for delayed transfers of care in March remain historically low, the eighth lowest monthly figure since 2004, despite all the system pressures.
> 
> “The Ambulance service again met their target for red calls for the 30th consecutive month since the new model was introduced despite continuing increasing demand and busiest March on record. The average daily number of red calls in March was higher than in February, and the fourth consecutive month that the daily average has been over 70\. 
> 
> “I am pleased NHS Wales has continued to deliver professional emergency and scheduled health care throughout this extremely busy period. Resilience planning put in place by health boards and local authorities has helped deliver this and we are working with them year round to improve that planning for the future. 
> 
> “However, we recognise some patients have been waiting longer than is acceptable and we have been clear with health boards about our expectations around performance, and will work with them to evaluate measures taken this winter.”
