Ynghyd â Gwledydd Datganoledig eraill y DU, bydd Cymru yn rhoi benthyg 20 miliwn o brofion llif unffordd COVID\-19 o’n dyraniadau i Lywodraeth y DU i gefnogi’r ymateb a’r galw yn Lloegr.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gweithio’n galed i sicrhau bod adnoddau ar gael inni fel y gallwn gynnal ein hymateb i’r pandemig yng Nghymru, gan gynnwys gwasanaethau profi, brechlynnau a chyfarpar diogelu personol (PPE). Weithiau mae hyn wedi cynnwys gweithio gyda gwledydd eraill y DU i ddarparu mwy o hyblygrwydd ac arbedion maint inni pan fo angen.


Fel rhan o’r trefniadau hyn, mae Cymru ar sawl achlysur yn ystod y pandemig wedi darparu cydgymorth i gefnogi’r ymateb yn y gwledydd eraill.


O ran PPE, ers dechrau mis Ebrill 2020, mae Cymru wedi rhoi 13\.8 miliwn o eitemau o gydgymorth i wledydd eraill y DU ac wedi derbyn 1\.4 miliwn o eitemau ar gais gan yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon. Mae pŵer prynu gwasanaethau iechyd Cymru wedi golygu ein bod wedi gallu darparu gwerth £37\.5 miliwn o PPE i wledydd eraill y DU. Yn ei thro, mae Cymru wedi derbyn tua 3\.3 miliwn o eitemau gan Lywodraeth y DU i ailgyflenwi stociau. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn falch o allu cefnogi’r cais am gymorth ychwanegol yn ystod awr gyfyng Lloegr.


Mae angen ymateb byd\-eang i COVID\-19 ac mae Cymru wedi chwarae ei rhan i gefnogi gwledydd eraill, gan gynnwys Lloegr ond hefyd y tu hwnt, a bydd yn parhau i wneud hynny. Mae hyn wedi cynnwys darparu cyflenwadau meddygol, gan gynnwys peiriannau anadlu, i gefnogi’r ymateb brys rhyngwladol i bandemig y coronafeirws yn India.


Caiff y datganiad hwn ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i’r Aelodau. Os bydd yr Aelodau eisiau imi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Senedd yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.







Translation:


 
Wales along with other Devolved Nations in the UK is to loan 20 million Covid\-19 lateral flow tests from our allocations to the UK Government to support the response and demand in England.


The Welsh Government has worked hard to ensure we have the resources available to support our response to the pandemic in Wales including testing services, vaccines and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Sometimes this has involved working with other UK nations to provide us with more agility and economies of scale where needed. 


As part of these arrangements Wales has on several occasions during the pandemic provided mutual aid to support the response in the other nations.


In relation to PPE since the start of April 2020, Wales has issued 13\.8 million items of mutual aid to other UK nations and received 1\.4 million items on request from Scotland and Northern Ireland. Welsh health services buying power has meant that we have been able to provide £37\.5 million of PPE for other UK nations. In return Wales has received around 3\.3 million items from the UK Government to replenish stocks.  The Welsh Government is pleased to be able to support the request for additional help in England’s hour of need.


COVID\-19 also requires a global response and Wales has and will continue to play a part in supporting other nations including England but also further afield. This included providing medical supplies, including ventilators, to support the international emergency response to the coronavirus pandemic in India.
