Dr Helen Munro, a consultant in sexual and reproductive healthcare, will take up the role of Wales’ first ever clinical lead for women’s health. Together with Alex Hicks, the new strategic network manager, she will lead the National Clinical Strategic Network for Women’s Health in developing the Women’s Health Plan for Wales.

The development of the plan will be underpinned by the results of a wide\-ranging survey completed by almost 4,000 women and girls who shared their health experiences.

The Health Minister has also announced £750,000 to commission research, from April 2025, focused entirely on women’s health.

Eluned Morgan said:


> I am delighted to announce funding for women's health research. Research into women’s health has often been overlooked and underfunded and we know far too little about many conditions that affect women and girls every day, often with debilitating effects.
> 
> This research will be based upon a prioritisation exercise seeking the views of those with lived experience and health and social care professionals on the issues that matter most to them.

Just over half (51%) of women have reported long\-standing illness, and 40% of women report feeling limited by these illnesses. This compares with 45% of men who report long\-standing illness, and 30% who say they feel limited by their illnesses.

Work to improve women’s health services has included the publication of the Quality Statement for Women’s and Girls’ Health and the Women’s Health Implementation Group, which has been looking at issues like pelvic health, use of mesh, endometriosis and faecal incontinence. Pelvic health co\-ordinators and dedicated endometriosis nurses are now working in every health board in Wales.

Progress is being seen in all health boards – examples including the creation of a Women’s Health Hub at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital to bring all gynaecology services together in one place.

In addition, training for NHS staff on women’s health issues has been introduced alongside the mandatory inclusion of menstrual wellbeing education in the new curriculum.

Ms Morgan added:


> Women and girls make up just over half the population but we still hear stories of women’s voices and concerns about conditions being dismissed.
> 
> I have been clear in my commitment to improve women’s health services and outcomes for women and girls and addressing the inequalities that exist in our health service.
> 
> I am pleased women’s health is beginning to get the focus it needs and I expect the new women’s health network and the clinical lead to bring together more women’s voices from the NHS and beyond to deliver a plan worthy of the name.

Bydd Dr Helen Munro, ymgynghorydd gofal iechyd rhywiol ac atgenhedlol yn ymgymryd â'r rôl arweinydd clinigol ar gyfer iechyd menywod – y rôl gyntaf o'i math yng Nghymru. Ar y cyd ag Alex Hicks, rheolwr newydd y rhwydwaith strategol, bydd Dr Munro yn arwain y Rhwydwaith Clinigol Strategol Cenedlaethol ar gyfer Iechyd Menywod i ddatblygu'r Cynllun Iechyd Menywod i Gymru.

Bydd datblygu’r cynllun yn cael ei ategu gan ganlyniadau arolwg eang o bron i 4,000 o fenywod a merched a rannodd eu profiadau iechyd.

Mae’r Gweinidog Iechyd hefyd wedi cyhoeddi cyllid gwerth £750,000 i gomisiynu ymchwil, o fis Ebrill 2025 ymlaen, a fydd yn canolbwyntio'n gyfan gwbl ar iechyd menywod.

Dywedodd Eluned Morgan:


> Dw i'n falch iawn o gyhoeddi cyllid ar gyfer ymchwil i iechyd menywod. Yn aml, nid yw ymchwil i iechyd menywod wedi cael digon o sylw na chyllid, a dydyn ni ddim yn gwybod digon am lawer o gyflyrau sy'n effeithio ar fenywod a merched bob dydd, sy'n aml yn gyflyrau ag effeithiau difrifol.
> 
> Bydd yr ymchwil hon wedi'i seilio ar ymarfer blaenoriaethu fydd yn gofyn am farn y rhai sydd â phrofiad bywyd a gweithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol proffesiynol am y materion sydd bwysicaf iddyn nhw.

Mae ychydig dros hanner (51%) o fenywod wedi nodi bod ganddynt salwch hirdymor, ac mae 40% o fenywod wedi dweud bod y cyflyrau hyn yn cyfyngu arnynt. Mae hyn o’i gymharu â 45% o ddynion sy'n nodi bod ganddynt salwch hirdymor, a 30% sy’n dweud eu bod yn teimlo bod y cyflyrau hyn yn cyfyngu arnynt.

Mae gwaith i wella gwasanaethau iechyd wedi cynnwys cyhoeddi’r Datganiad Ansawdd ar gyfer Iechyd Menywod a Merched a’r Grŵp Gweithredu ar Iechyd Menywod, sydd wedi bod yn ymwneud â materion megis iechyd y pelfis, defnyddio rhwyll, endometriosis ac anymataliaeth ysgarthol. Mae cydlynwyr iechyd y pelfis a nyrsys endometriosis pwrpasol bellach yn gweithio ym mhob bwrdd iechyd yng Nghymru.

Mae cynnydd i'w weld ledled ym mhob bwrdd iechyd. Er enghraifft, mae Canolfan Iechyd Menywod wedi’i sefydlu yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg i ddod â'r holl wasanaethau gynaecoleg ynghyd mewn un lle.

Yn ogystal, mae hyfforddiant ar gyfer staff y GIG ar faterion iechyd menywod wedi'i gyflwyno ochr yn ochr â chynnwys addysg lles mislif yn bwnc gorfodol yn y cwricwlwm newydd.

Ychwanegodd Ms Morgan:


> Menywod a merched yw ychydig dros hanner y boblogaeth, ond rydyn ni'n dal i glywed straeon am leisiau a phryderon menywod am gyflyrau yn cael eu diystyru.
> 
> Dw i wedi nodi'n glir fy ymrwymiad i wella gwasanaethau iechyd menywod, gwella canlyniadau i fenywod a merched, a mynd i’r afael â’r anghydraddoldebau sy’n bodoli yn ein system iechyd.
> 
> Dw i'n falch bod iechyd menywod yn dechrau cael y sylw angenrheidiol a dw i'n disgwyl i'r rhwydwaith iechyd menywod a'r arweinydd clinigol newydd ddod â rhagor o leisiau menywod o'r Gwasanaeth Iechyd a thu hwnt at ei gilydd i greu cynllun sy'n addas i'r diben.
