The emerging evidence suggests people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds are being disproportionately affected by the coronavirus pandemic. This is of significant concern, particularly as people from these communities make such a significant contribution to our NHS and care services.


Last month, we launched an urgent investigation to understand the reasons why BAME communities are at higher risk and established an expert advisory group, co\- chaired by Judge Ray Singh and Dr Heather Payne. This is linked to wider work being carried out by Public Health England and NHS England.


The advisory group included two subgroups – one looking at the socio\-economic factors, chaired by Professor Emmanuel Ogbonna – and a subgroup to accelerate work on a risk assessment tool for the health and social care workforce, chaired by Professor Keshav Singhal.


Today, the All Wales COVID\-19 Workforce Risk Assessment Tool is being introduced to the NHS and social care. It is a two\-stage risk assessment, which is suitable for use for all staff who are vulnerable or at risk of contracting coronavirus, including people from BAME backgrounds.


It has been designed to be a sensitive and supportive process. People can complete the self\-assessment and then have a supportive and structured conversation with their line manager to discuss their level of risk to put in place actions to ensure they are protected as far as possible. These may include additional protection, changing working practices or working from home.


I want to thank the advisory group for their work on this risk assessment. It has been developed in a short space of time and will be made available throughout the NHS and social care. Its use will be monitored and reviewed so we can continue to learn and take all measures to protect those who are working so hard to support and care for others.

Mae'r dystiolaeth sy'n dod i'r amlwg yn awgrymu bod pandemig coronafeirws yn cael effaith anghymesur ar bobl o gefndiroedd Du, Asiaidd a Lleiafrif Ethnig (BAME). Mae hyn y peri cryn bryder, yn enwedig gan fod pobl o'r cymunedau hyn yn gwneud cyfraniad mor sylweddol i'n GIG a'n gwasanaethau gofal.


Fis diwethaf, gwnaethom lansio ymchwiliad brys i geisio deall y rhesymau pam mae cymunedau BAME yn wynebu risg uwch, a gwnaethom sefydlu grŵp cynghori arbenigol, wedi'i gadeirio ar y cyd gan y Barnwr Ray Singh a Dr Heather Payne. Mae hyn yn gysylltiedig â gwaith ehangach a wneir gan Public Health England ac NHS England.


Roedd y grŵp cynghori'n cynnwys dau is\-grŵp – un yn edrych ar ffactorau economaidd\-gymdeithasol wedi ei gadeirio gan yr Athro Emmanuel Ogbonna – ac is\- grŵp i ddatblygu'r gwaith o greu adnodd asesu risg ar gyfer y gweithlu iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol wedi ei gadeirio gan yr Athro Keshav Singhal.


Heddiw, mae Adnodd Asesu Risg COVID\-19 Cymru Gyfan ar gyfer y Gweithlu yn cael ei gyflwyno i'r GIG a'r sector gofal cymdeithasol. Mae dau gam i'r asesiad risg, ac mae'n addas i'w ddefnyddio ar gyfer pob aelod o staff sy'n agored i niwed neu'n wynebu risg o gael y coronafeirws, gan gynnwys pobl o gefndiroedd BAME.


Fe'i cynlluniwyd i fod yn broses sensitif a chefnogol. Gall pobl gwblhau'r hunanasesiad ac yna gael sgwrs gefnogol a strwythuredig â'u rheolwr llinell i drafod eu lefel risg er mwyn cymryd camau gweithredu i sicrhau y cânt eu diogelu cymaint â phosibl. Gall hyn gynnwys mesurau diogelu ychwanegol, newid arferion gwaith neu weithio gartref.


Hoffwn ddiolch i'r grŵp cynghori am ei waith ar yr asesiad risg hwn. Cafodd ei ddatblygu mewn cyfnod byr a bydd ar gael ym mhob rhan o'r GIG a'r sector gofal cymdeithasol. Byddwn yn monitro ac yn adolygu'r ffordd y caiff ei ddefnyddio er mwyn inni allu parhau i ddysgu a rhoi pob mesur ar waith i ddiogelu'r rhai sy'n gweithio mor galed i gefnogi a gofalu am bobl eraill.
