Public Health Minister Rebecca Evans has confirmed the Welsh Government has agreed to the introduction of non\-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) within the antenatal screening programme in Wales.   
  
NIPT, a blood sample analysed in a laboratory, will be added to the screening pathway as an additional option for women who accept current primary screening and are assessed as being at higher chance of Down’s, Edwards’ and Patau’s syndrome.  
  
The current antenatal screening programme offers pregnant women a number of different primary screening tests to detect some of the conditions that may affect either the woman or their baby. One of these screening tests shows the chance of having a baby with Down’s syndrome. If this is equal to or higher than 1 in 150, women are considered higher chance but are currently only offered the option of an invasive test to confirm the diagnosis. These invasive diagnostic tests carry a small risk of miscarriage.   
  
NIPT will be offered as an additional option to these invasive tests and for women who receive a negative result, no further tests will be required. It is expected that 1 to 2 babies per year in Wales will be saved from miscarriage as a result of the introduction of NIPT.  
  
NIPT will be rolled out as soon as practicable during 2018\. Work is already underway with the other UK nations and charities on the development of health professional training and patient information, designed to ensure women are supported to make a fully informed decision.   
  
Public Health Minister, Rebecca Evans said:


> “We want to ensure every expectant mother in Wales receives the information, advice and support they need throughout their pregnancy. Our antenatal screening programme plays an important role in this.
> 
> “The Welsh Government has accepted the recommendations made by the UK National Screening Committee and the Wales Screening Committee to introduce Non\-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) as an additional option for women identified as higher chance for Down’s, and to add screening for Edwards’ and Patau’s syndrome and screening in twin pregnancies within the screening pathway in Wales.
> 
> “NIPT is more accurate than the current primary tests. A negative NIPT result will offer pregnant women the reassurance they need, without the need for a further invasive diagnostic test – reducing the unnecessary harm from miscarriage that can be caused through the use of these tests.”

The introduction of NIPT will be evaluated over the next 3 years, in line with recommendations made by the UK National Screening Committee and the Wales Screening Committee.

Mae’r Gweinidog Iechyd y Cyhoedd, Rebecca Evans wedi cadarnhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cytuno i gyflwyno'r prawf cynenedigol anfewnwthiol (NIPT) fel rhan o'r rhaglen sgrinio gynededigol yng Nghymru.     
  
Bydd prawf NIPT, sef sampl o waed i'w ddadansoddi mewn labordy, yn cael ei ychwanegu at y llwybr sgrinio fel opsiwn ychwanegol i fenywod sy'n derbyn y sgrinio sylfaenol presennol ac sydd wedi cael gwybod bod yna risg o syndrom Down, Edwards neu Patau.     
  
Mae'r rhaglen sgrinio gynenedigol bresennol yn cynnig nifer o wahanol brofion sgrinio sylfaenol i fenywod beichiog er mwyn canfod rhai o'r cyflyrau a allai effeithio ar y fam neu'r babi. Mae un o'r profion sgrinio hyn yn gallu dangos y posibilrwydd o gael babi sydd â syndrom Down. Os yw'r posibilrwydd yn cyfateb i 1 allan o 150 neu'n uwch, ystyrir bod yna fwy o risg, ond ar hyn o bryd yr unig opsiwn sy’n cael ei gynnig yw prawf mewnwthiol i gadarnhau'r diagnosis. Mae risg bach y gellid colli’r babi drwy gael y profion diagnostig mewnwthiol hyn.   
  
Cynigir y prawf NIPT fel opsiwn ychwanegol at y profion mewnwthiol hyn, ac i'r menywod sy'n cael canlyniad negyddol, ni fydd angen unrhyw brofion pellach. Disgwylir y bydd un neu ddau o fabanod yng Nghymru yn cael eu hachub rhag cael eu colli o ganlyniad i gyflwyno'r prawf NIPT.  
  
Bydd NIPT yn cael ei gyflwyno cyn gynted â phosibl yn ystod 2018\. Mae gwaith eisoes yn mynd rhagddo gydag elusennau a gwledydd eraill y DU i ddatblygu hyfforddiant ar gyfer gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol a gwybodaeth i gleifion, er mwyn sicrhau bod menywod yn cael y cymorth angenrheidiol i wneud penderfyniad cywir.   
  
Dywedodd Gweinidog Iechyd y Cyhoedd, Rebecca Evans:


> “Rydyn ni am sicrhau bod pob menyw feichiog yng Nghymru yn cael yr wybodaeth, y cyngor, a'r cymorth angenrheidiol drwy gydol ei beichiogrwydd. Mae ein rhaglen sgrinio gynenedigol yn chwarae rôl bwysig yn hyn.
> 
> “Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi derbyn argymhellion Pwyllgor Sgrinio Cenedlaethol y DU a Phwyllgor Sgrinio Cymru i gyflwyno Profion NIPT fel opsiwn ychwanegol i fenywod sydd â mwy o risg o syndrom Down, ac i ychwanegu sgrinio ar gyfer syndrom Edwards a Patau a sgrinio lle mae menywod yn disgwyl gefeilliaid hefyd fel rhan o'r llwybr sgrinio yng Nghymru.
> 
> “Mae NIPT yn fwy cywir na'r profion sylfaenol a ddefnyddir ar hyn o bryd. Bydd cael canlyniad NIPT negyddol yn rhoi'r sicrwydd y mae ei angen ar fenywod beichiog, heb angen prawf diagnostig mewnwthiol pellach – gan leihau'r posibilrwydd o niwed diangen a cholli babi a allai ddigwydd yn sgil defnyddio profion o'r fath.”

Bydd y rhaglen profion NIPT yn cael ei gwerthuso yn ystod y tair blynedd nesaf, yn unol â'r argymhellion a wnaed gan Bwyllgor Sgrinio Cenedlaethol y DU a Phwyllgor Sgrinio Cymru.
