Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru:


Mae ein staff gweithgar yn y NHS yn parhau i weithredu ymhlith lefelau uchel o alw. Mae o leiaf 2m o gysylltiadau'n cael eu gwneud â'r NHS bob mis, mewn gwlad gyda phoblogaeth o 3\.1m \- gan gynnwys 500,000 o ymgynghoriadau. Ar ben hyn cofnodwyd 399,000 o drawiadau ar wefan NHS Cymru 111 a gwnaed 71,000 o alwadau i wasanaeth ffôn 111\.


Mae'n galonogol gweld bod yr arhosiadau'n parhau i ostwng, a'u bod nhw bellach yn 60% yn is na'r brig. Mae'r mwyafrif o lwybrau (59\.7%) yn aros llai na 26 wythnos, ac mae'r canolrif yn dal i fod tua 19 wythnos.


Mae nifer y bobl sy'n aros fwy nag wyth wythnos am wasanaethau diagnostig hefyd wedi gostwng.


Siom yw gweld bod rhestrau aros cyffredinol wedi mynd yn ôl i'w lefelau uchaf a hynny oherwydd nifer y bobl sy'n ymuno â'r rhestrau aros. Ond dros y 12 mis diwethaf maen nhw wedi cynyddu 1\.9% yn unig yng Nghymru o'i gymharu â 10\.7% yn Lloegr. Mae'r byrddau iechyd yn gweithio'n galed i fynd i'r afael â'r arosiadau hiraf ac mae'r achosion mwyaf brys bob amser yn cael eu gweld gyntaf.


Mae'r galw am wasanaethau gofal brys yn dal yn uchel, ac mae'r perfformiad yn sefydlog ac yn well yn gyffredinol na'r un cyfnod yn 2022\. Yr amser ymateb ar gyfartaledd ar gyfer yr alwad ambiwlans fwyaf brys (coch) oedd saith munud a 57 eiliad, sydd o dan y targed o wyth munud ond mae hyn yn is na'r ganran a bennwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Arhosodd bron 70% o gleifion am lai na 4 awr i gael eu gweld mewn Adrannau Argyfwng. Rydym ni a phartneriaid iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yn gweithio'n galed i dargedu gwelliannau, yn enwedig o ran llif cleifion, cyn cyfnod y gaeaf.


Mae triniaeth am ganser wedi cynyddu yn erbyn y targed o 62 diwrnod ond mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn derbyn bod mwy i'w wneud yn y maes hwn er i 14,074 gael eu hysbysu mewn un mis nad oes canser arnynt.


Er gwaethaf y pwysau ar gyllidebau, mae'r Gweinidog Iechyd yn disgwyl i fyrddau iechyd gyflawni'r targedau newydd ar gyfer lleihau'r arosiadau hiraf a byddwn yn parhau i'w cefnogi i gyflawni hynny.

A Welsh Government spokesperson said:


Our hard\-working NHS staff continue to operate amid high and increasing levels of demand. At least 2 million contacts are made with the NHS each month, in a country with a population of over 3\.1 million residents – including 500,000 consultations. On top of this 399,000 hits were recorded on the NHS Wales 111 website and 71,000 calls made to the phone 111 service.


It’s encouraging to see the longest waits are continuing to fall, now more than 60% lower than the peak. The majority of pathways (59\.7%) are waiting less than 26 weeks, and the median is still around 19 weeks.


The number of people waiting longer than eight weeks for diagnostic services has also decreased.


It’s disappointing to see overall waiting lists back to their highest levels on record and that is due to the number of people joining the waiting lists. But over the last 12 months waiting lists in Wales have only increased by 1\.9% compared to 10\.7% in England. Health boards are working hard to tackle the longest waits and the most urgent cases are always seen first.


Demand for emergency care services remains high, and performance is stable and generally better than the same period in 2022\. The average response time for the most urgent ambulance call (red) was seven minutes and 57 seconds which is under the 8 minute target but this is below the percentage set by the Welsh Government. Almost 70% of patients waited for less than 4 hours to be dealt with in emergency departments.


We and health and social care partners are working hard to target improvements, particularly in respect of patient flow, ahead of the winter period.


Cancer treatment has increased against the 62 day target but the Welsh Government accept that there is still more to do in this area despite the fact that 14,074 people were informed in one month that they did not have cancer.


Despite the pressures on budgets, the Health Minister expects health boards to achieve the new targets for reducing the longest waits and we will continue to support them to achieve that.
