Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Eluned Morgan:


> Mae'r ffigurau hyn yn ymwneud â'r cyfnod o'r flwyddyn pan fo ein Gwasanaeth Iechyd a'i staff arwrol o dan y pwysau mwyaf dwys.
> 
> Felly, rwy'n falch iawn bod nifer y bobl ar restrau aros yn gyffredinol wedi gostwng eto, am yr ail fis yn olynol. Gwnaeth y nifer sy'n aros mwy na dwy flynedd am driniaeth ostwng hefyd, a hynny am yr unfed mis ar hugain yn olynol.
> 
> Rwy'n falch o weld cynnydd yn y perfformiad yn erbyn y targed 62 diwrnod o ran canser hefyd, o 53\.5 y cant i 58 y cant ym mis Rhagfyr. Yn ogystal, y nifer o bobl a gafodd wybod nad oes ganddyn nhw ganser oedd y ffigur uchaf yn y cofnodion ar gyfer unrhyw fis Rhagfyr.
> 
> Rydyn ni wedi rhoi pwyslais clir ar drin y cleifion hynny sydd ag angen brys a'r rhai sydd wedi bod yn aros hiraf.
> 
> Mae'r pwysau aruthrol ar ein gwasanaeth iechyd yn parhau. Mae atgyfeiriadau newydd at gyfleusterau gofal eilaidd, fel ysbytai, ar eu lefel uchaf erioed, ar ôl cynyddu 11 y cant yn y flwyddyn ddiweddaraf. Y nifer a aeth i Adrannau Achosion Brys oedd y ffigur uchaf yn y cofnodion ar gyfer unrhyw fis Ionawr.
> 
> Er gwaethaf hyn, cynyddodd perfformiad yn erbyn y targed pedair awr, tra gwnaeth yr amser cyfartalog a dreulir mewn adrannau achosion brys ostwng ym mis Ionawr o gymharu â'r mis blaenorol.
> 
> Y nifer o gleifion a gafodd ymateb ambiwlans 'coch' neu fwyaf brys mewn wyth munud oedd yr ail uchaf yn y cofnodion ym mis Ionawr, a'r amser ymateb cyfartalog oedd 8 munud ac 11 eiliad. Ac er gwaetha'r pwysau ar y system, gwnaeth yr amser cyfartalog i ymateb i gleifion 'oren' wella o gymharu â mis Rhagfyr.
> 
> Mae'r gwasanaethau canolfannau gofal sylfaenol brys newydd rydyn ni wedi'u hariannu i helpu i roi gofal yn nes at gartrefi pobl, a lleihau'r pwysau ar feddygon teulu ac adrannau achosion brys, yn helpu llawer mwy o bobl na'r adeg hon y llynedd. Mae'r canolfannau hyn yn sicrhau bod pobl yn cael y gofal iawn, yn y lle iawn, y tro cyntaf, ac mae'r mwyafrif helaeth yn osgoi'r angen i fynd i adran achosion brys ar ôl cael eu hasesu.
> 
> Mae gwelliant yn parhau i gael ei wneud o ran Oedi yn achos Llwybrau Gofal, gan arwain at ostyngiadau sylweddol yn nifer yr achosion o oedi sy'n gysylltiedig ag asesu.
> 
> Mae'n siomedig gweld bod y nifer sy'n aros blwyddyn am apwyntiad claf allanol cyntaf wedi cynyddu, a bod y nifer sy'n aros mwy nag wyth wythnos am wasanaethau diagnostig wedi cynyddu. Serch hynny, gwnaeth y nifer cyffredinol sy'n aros am wasanaethau diagnostig ostwng.
> 
> Hoffwn ddiolch unwaith eto i'n staff ymroddedig yn y Gwasanaeth Iechyd yng Nghymru. Maen nhw wedi parhau i ddarparu gwasanaeth o ansawdd uchel o dan amgylchiadau hynod o heriol y gaeaf hwn.

Minister for Health and Social Services, Eluned Morgan said:


> These figures cover the period of the year when our NHS and its heroic staff is under the most intense pressure.
> 
> So I am delighted that the overall number of people on waiting lists has come down again, for the second month in a row. Those waiting more than two years for treatment also fell for the 21st consecutive month.
> 
> I am pleased to see performance increased against the 62\-day cancer target too, from 53\.5 per cent to 58 per cent in December. The number of people told they don’t have cancer was also the highest figure on record for any December.
> 
> We have placed a clear focus on tackling both those patients with an urgent need and those that have waited the longest.
> 
> The immense pressure on our health service continues. New referrals to secondary care facilities like hospitals are the highest on record, having increased 11 per cent in the latest year. Attendances at Emergency Departments were the highest for any January on record.
> 
> Despite this, performance increased against the four\-hour target, while the average time spent in emergency departments decreased in January compared to the previous month.
> 
> The number of patients to receive a ‘red’ or most urgent ambulance response in eight minutes was the second highest on record in January, with an average response time of 8 minutes and 11 seconds. And despite pressure on the system, the average response to ‘amber’ patients improved on December.
> 
> The new urgent primary care centre services we have funded to help deliver care closer to home, and reduce pressure on GPs and emergency departments are helping significantly more people than this time last year. These centres are ensuring people receive the right care, in the right place, first time, with the vast majority avoiding the need to attend an emergency department following assessment.
> 
> Progress continues to be made on Pathways of Care Delays, with significant reductions in the number of assessment related delays.
> 
> It is disappointing to see one\-year waits for a first outpatient appointment increase, and the number of waits of longer than eight weeks for diagnostic services rise. The overall number of waits for diagnostic services did fall however.
> 
> I would again like to thank our dedicated NHS Wales staff. They have continued to provide a high quality service under extremely challenging circumstances this winter.
