Vaughan Gething, in partnership with BMA Wales, has taken the decision that the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) element of the GP contract will be relaxed until 31 March 2017\.    
  
This move will create more capacity for GPs and practice nurses to manage their most vulnerable and chronically sick patients during the winter period where there is a significant increase in demand for their services.   
  
The Health Secretary said:


> “The positive action we’ve taken today will help ease pressure on primary care. I’d like to thank GP and practice nurses across Wales for their hard work and commitment to their patients during this busy winter period.
> 
> “Instead of patients being called in for routine appointments automatically at the busiest time of the year, doctor and practice nurse’s time will be freed up to see patients, prioritising those urgently requesting appointments because they are ill.
> 
> “Both BMA Wales and Welsh Government remain committed to working positively and collaboratively to improve access to services. No GP practice will lose out financially as a result of QOF relaxation.
> 
> “I hope that both primary care and patients in Wales will feel the benefits of this decision.  It’s a common sense approach that shows the agility of NHS Wales – especially when it’s under pressure.”

Chair of GPC Wales, Dr Charlotte Jones said:


> “This welcome move will have a positive effect on practices by reducing bureaucracy and box ticking, as well as releasing capacity which will enable GPs and practice nurses to focus on the complex care needs of their patients at a particularly busy time.
> 
> “We are committed to working in partnership with Welsh Government to continue improving working conditions for GPs in Wales, and this agreement demonstrates what can be achieved through collaboration on an agreed vision.”

Mae Vaughan Gething, mewn partneriaeth â BMA Cymru Wales, wedi penderfynu y bydd yr elfen Fframwaith Ansawdd a Chanlyniadau o gontract meddygon teulu yn cael ei llacio tan 31 Mawrth 2017\.  
  
Drwy weithredu fel hyn, bydd gan feddygon teulu a nyrsys practis fwy o gapasiti i reoli’r cleifion sydd fwyaf agored i niwed a’r rhai mwyaf sâl yn ystod cyfnod y gaeaf pan fo cynnydd sylweddol yn y galw am eu gwasanaethau.     
  
Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Iechyd:


> “Bydd y camau cadarnhaol rydyn ni wedi eu cymryd heddiw yn helpu i leddfu’r pwysau ar ofal sylfaenol. Hoffwn i ddiolch i feddygon teulu a nyrsys practis ym mhob cwr o Gymru am eu gwaith caled, a’u hymrwymiad i’w cleifion, yn ystod y cyfnod y gaeaf prysur hwn.  
> 
> “Yn hytrach na galw cleifion i mewn yn awtomatig am apwyntiadau rheolaidd ar adeg brysuraf y flwyddyn, bydd amser meddygon a nyrsys practis yn cael ei ryddhau i weld cleifion, a bydd y rheini sydd angen apwyntiad ar frys oherwydd eu bod nhw’n sâl yn cael blaenoriaeth.
> 
> “Mae BMA Cymru Wales a Llywodraeth Cymru yn dal i fod wedi ymrwymo i weithio’n gadarnhaol, ac i gydweithio, er mwyn gwella mynediad at wasanaethau. Ni fydd unrhyw bractis meddygon teulu ar ei golled yn ariannol oherwydd bod yr elfen Fframwaith Ansawdd a Chanlyniadau yn cael ei llacio.   
> 
> “Dw i’n gobeithio y bydd gofal sylfaenol a chleifion yng Nghymru yn elwa ar y penderfyniad hwn. Mae’n ddull synnwyr cyffredin ac mae’n dangos pa mor hyblyg yw Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol Cymru – yn enwedig pan fo’r Gwasanaeth o dan bwysau.”

Dywedodd Dr Charlotte Jones, Cadeirydd Cyngor Meddygon Teulu Cymru:


> “Mae’r weithred hwn i’w groesawu gan y bydd yn cael effaith gadarnhaol ar bractisau trwy leihau biwrocratiaeth, yn ogystal â rhyddhau capasiti a fydd yn galluogi meddygon teulu a nyrsys practis i ganolbwyntio ar anghenion gofal cymhleth eu cleifion ar adeg arbennig o brysur.  
> 
> “Rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i weithio mewn partneriaeth â Llywodraeth Cymru i barhau i wella amodau gweithio meddygon teulu yng Nghymru, ac mae’r cytundeb hon yn dangos beth y gallwn ei gyflawni drwy gydweithio ar weledigaeth gytûn.”
