Ym mis Mai 2018, cyhoeddais y byddai Grŵp Gweithredu ar gyfer Iechyd Menywod yn cael ei sefydlu i oruchwylio rhai meysydd penodol o iechyd menywod sydd angen sylw the gwelliannau ar fyrder. Nodais mai prif flaenoriaeth y Grŵp fyddai i oruchwylio'r gwaith o weithredu'r argymhellion gan yr adolygiad ar dâp a rhwyll y wain.


Mae'r Grŵp Gweithredu, dan gadeiryddiaeth Tracy Myhill, Prif Swyddog Gweithredol Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Abertawe Bro Morgannwg, bellach wedi cwrdd ar dri achlysur ac rwy'n hapus i adrodd bod cynnydd wedi'i wneud mewn perthynas â sawl maes allweddol.


Dywedais wrth sefydlu'r Grŵp Gweithredu ar gyfer Iechyd Menywod y byddai'n cael cymorth ariannol o hyd at £1 miliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru bob blwyddyn y bydd yn gweithredu. Mae'r grŵp wedi penderfynu y bydd cyllid y flwyddyn gyntaf yn cael ei wario ar sefydlu nifer o swyddi allweddol i gyflawni rhai o argymhellion yr adolygiad ar dâp a rhwyll y wain.  


Mae'r Grŵp Gweithredu wedi gwrando ar bryderon Grŵp Goroeswyr  Rhwyll Cymru, ac wedi penderfynu penodi rheolwr llwybr cenedlaethol i gyflawni argymhellion yr adolygiad ar dâp a rhwyll y wain drwy arwain y gwaith o greu rhwydwaith o Gydgysylltwyr Iechyd a Llesiant Pelfig o fewn pob bwrdd. Bydd ganddynt gefndir clinigol mewn disgyblaeth briodol e.e. ffisiotherapi neu reoli poen a byddant yn gweithio gyda'r arweinydd cenedlaethol i gyflawni'r newidiadau gofynnol i wasanaethau lleol. 


Mae'r grŵp hefyd yn cymryd cyngor gan gleifion a chlinigwyr ynghylch sut i sicrhau darpariaeth gyson o sganiau trawslabia, lle y bo hynny'n briodol, ar draws Cymru.  


Yn olaf, rwyf hefyd wedi nodi wrth Gadeirydd y Grŵp Gweithredu ar gyfer Iechyd Menywod y dylai'r grŵp ddechrau ystyried yr argymhellion o'r adroddiad i wasanaethau endometriosis  yng Nghymru a luniwyd gan y Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen Endometriosis dan gadeiryddiaeth Mr Richard Penketh, gynaecolegydd ymgynghorol ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Caerdydd a'r Fro. Rwy'n disgwyl y bydd dulliau tebyg yn cael eu defnyddio wrth reoli endometriosis a'r problemau sy'n deillio o ddefnyddio tâp a rhwyll y wain, felly mae'n briodol bod y Grŵp Gweithredu ar Iechyd Menywod yn ystyried y ddau beth.


Caiff y datganiad hwn ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Os bydd aelodau am i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Cynulliad yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.

In May 2018, I announced the establishment of the Women’s Health Implementation Group (WHIG) to oversee some specific areas of women’s health requiring urgent attention and improvement. I directed that the first priority of the WHIG would be to oversee the implementation of recommendations from the vaginal mesh and tape review.


The WHIG, which is chaired by Tracy Myhill, CEO of Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board, has now met on three occasions and I am happy to report progress in relation to several key areas.


I indicated on establishment that the WHIG would be supported by up to £1 million of Welsh Government funding per year of operation. The group have decided that the first year’s funding will be spent on establishing a number of key posts to deliver some of the recommendations of the vaginal mesh and tape review.


The WHIG has listened to concerns from the Mesh Survivors Group and has decided to appoint a national pathway manager to deliver the recommendations of the vaginal mesh and tape review by leading the creation of a network of Pelvic Health and Well\-being Coordinators within each health board. They will have a clinical background from an appropriate discipline, e.g. physiotherapy or pain management and will work with the national lead to deliver the required changes to local services.


The group is also taking advice from patients and clinicians on how to achieve the consistent provision of translabial scans where they are appropriate across Wales.


Finally, I have also recently directed the Chair of the WHIG that the group should begin to consider the recommendations from the report into endometriosis services in Wales produced by the Endometriosis Task and Finish Group chaired by Mr Richard Penketh, a consultant gynaecologist in Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.


I anticipate there will be synergies in approach between the management of endometriosis and issues arising from the use of vaginal mesh and tape and so it is appropriate that the WHIG consider them both.


This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Assembly returns I would be happy to do so.
