Following additional investment of £150 million from Welsh Government over the last 3 years, continual year on year improvements have been seen in NHS elective waiting times. At the end of March 2019:


* 26 week performance was 1\.4 percentage points higher than March 2018 and was the best position since July 2013
* the number of people waiting over 36 weeks was 26% lower than the March 2018 position and was the best position since May 2013
* the number of people waiting over 52 weeks was 28% lower than March 2018
* the number of people waiting over 8 weeks for diagnostics was 1% lower on a like\-for\-like position than March 2018, despite the addition of a suite of new cardiology tests, and
* the number of people waiting over 14 weeks for therapy services was 98% lower than March 2018 and the best position ever reported.


This shows that the targeted investment has worked. In 2018\-19, improvements were seen in 6 of the 7 health boards, with 3 health boards reporting no one waiting over 36 weeks at the end of March and 2 other health boards reporting a position better than their profile.


I am announcing today a further £50 million for 2019\-20 for health boards to build on the improvements made over the last 3 years and to make further reductions by the end of March 2020\.


£2 million of the funding will be used for the development of the Quality and Delivery Framework for Emergency Departments, the extension of the Emergency Department Well\-being and Home Safe pilot provided through the Red Cross that ran in winter 2018\-19 and the extension of the Hospital to Healthier Home delivered by Care and Repair. A further £3\.5 million has been earmarked for health boards to improve follow\-up backlog delays, through working with the Planned Care Programme team, as described in the recent Public Accounts Committee.


The remainder of the funding is to be used to reduce the number of long waiting patients and for health boards to further develop sustainable solutions.


Health boards will need to meet the targets they set out in order to receive the full funding. I expect to see further improvements on waiting times as we have seen in the past 3 years.

Yn dilyn buddsoddiad ychwanegol o £150 miliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru dros y tair blynedd diwethaf, gwelwyd gwelliannau parhaus flwyddyn ar ôl blwyddyn yn yr amseroedd aros am driniaethau dewisol y GIG. Ar ddiwedd mis Mawrth 2019:


* roedd perfformiad 26 wythnos 1\.4 pwynt canran yn uwch nag ym mis Mawrth 2018, ac roedd ar ei orau ers mis Gorffennaf 2013;
* roedd nifer y bobl fu’n aros dros 36 wythnos 26% yn is na'r sefyllfa ym mis Mawrth 2018, sef y perfformiad gorau ers mis Mai 2013;
* roedd nifer y bobl fu’n aros dros 52 wythnos 28% yn is nag ym mis Mawrth 2018;
* roedd nifer y bobl fu'n aros dros 8 wythnos am brofion diagnosteg 1% yn is o gymharu â sefyllfaoedd tebyg ym Mawrth 2018, er bod cyfres o brofion cardioleg newydd wedi'u hychwanegu;
* roedd nifer y bobl fu’n aros dros 14 wythnos am wasanaethau therapi 98% yn is nag ym mis Mawrth 2018 a dyma'r sefyllfa orau y rhoddwyd gwybod amdani erioed.


Mae hyn yn dangos bod buddsoddiad wedi'i dargedu wedi gweithio. Yn 2018\-19, gwelwyd gwelliannau yn chwech o'r saith bwrdd iechyd, gyda thri bwrdd iechyd yn rhoi gwybod nad oedd unrhyw un wedi aros dros 36 wythnos ar ddiwedd mis Mawrth, a'r ddau fwrdd iechyd arall yn rhoi gwybod am sefyllfa a oedd yn well na'u proffil.


Heddiw, rwy'n cyhoeddi £50 miliwn pellach ar gyfer 2019\-20 i fyrddau iechyd adeiladu ar y gwelliannau a wnaed dros y tair blynedd diwethaf a lleihau amseroedd aros ymhellach erbyn diwedd mis Mawrth 2020\.  


Bydd £2 filiwn o’r cyllid yn cael ei ddefnyddio i ddatblygu'r Fframwaith Ansawdd a Chyflenwi ar gyfer Adrannau Argyfwng, ariannu estyniad cynllun Llesiant ac Adref yn Ddiogel yr Adran Argyfwng a gynhaliwyd drwy'r Groes Goch yn ystod gaeaf 2018\-19 ac estyniad y cynllun Adref o'r Ysbyty a ddarparwyd gan Gofal a Thrwsio. Mae £3\.5 miliwn ychwanegol wedi'i glustnodi ar gyfer byrddau iechyd i wella oedi o ganlyniad i ôl\-gronni dilynol, drwy weithio gyda'r tîm Rhaglen Gofal wedi’i Gynllunio, fel y disgrifiwyd yn y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus diweddar.


Bydd gweddill y cyllid yn cael ei ddefnyddio i leihau nifer y cleifion sy'n aros am gyfnodau hir, ac i fyrddau iechyd ddatblygu atebion cynaliadwy ymhellach.


Bydd angen i fyrddau iechyd gyrraedd y targedau maen nhw'n eu gosod er mwyn cael y cyllid yn llawn. Rwy'n disgwyl gweld gwelliannau pellach o ran amseroedd aros, fel yr ydym wedi'i weld yn y tair blynedd diwethaf.
