Professor Marcus Longley, is stepping down as Chair of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board at the end of the month after four years in post.  It has not been possible to appoint a successor following the recent recruitment campaign and I have therefore asked Emrys Elias to take up the position for 18 months.   I am very pleased that he has accepted my request and he will take up the position from 1 October 2021\.


MrElias is currently the Vice\-Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and has considerable experience in leadership within the NHS.  After training as a Mental Health Nurse he has held several senior clinical and managerial roles at an operational, strategic and Board level up until his retirement in 2016 when he was the Director of the NHS Wales Delivery Unit. 


Mr Elias has a particular interest in multiagency working and the outcomes that can be achieved and has undertaken several projects and national and local service reviews in this area of work.  He also advised Government and jointly led the national review of the Mental Health Care Programme Approach, the findings of which influenced the implementation of the Mental Health Measure.


All NHS bodies in Wales require strong and experienced leadership, however this is even more important for Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board due to their current escalation status, together with the additional challenges organisations face in dealing with the impact of the pandemic.  Whilst good progress has been made since April 2019, there is still much to do to develop the organisation under the leadership of the Chair and Chief Executive.


A formal process will commence to appoint a substantive chair through open competition at a later date.

Bydd yr Athro Marcus Longley yn rhoi’r gorau i fod yn Gadeirydd Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Cwm Taf Morgannwg ddiwedd y mis hwn, ar ôl pedair blynedd yn y swydd.  Ni fu'n bosibl penodi olynydd yn dilyn yr ymgyrch recriwtio ddiweddar, ac felly rwyf wedi gofyn i Emrys Elias wneud y swydd am 18 mis. Rwy'n falch iawn ei fod wedi cytuno i ymgymryd â'r swydd o 1 Hydref 2021\.


Ar hyn o bryd Mr Elias yw Is\-gadeirydd Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan ac mae ganddo brofiad sylweddol o arwain o fewn y GIG.  Ar ôl cael ei hyfforddi’n Nyrs Iechyd Meddwl, bu’n gwneud nifer o uwch\-swyddi clinigol a rheoli ar lefel weithredol, lefel strategol a lefel Bwrdd hyd at ei ymddeoliad yn 2016, pan oedd yn Gyfarwyddwr Uned Gyflawni GIG Cymru. 


Mae gan Mr Elias ddiddordeb arbennig mewn gweithio amlasiantaeth a'r canlyniadau y mae modd eu cyflawni, ac mae wedi ymgymryd â sawl prosiect a sawl adolygiad cenedlaethol a lleol o wasanaethau yn y maes gwaith hwn.  Bu hefyd yn cynghori’r Llywodraeth ac yn arwain yr adolygiad cenedlaethol o Ddull Gweithredu’r Rhaglen Ofal ym maes Iechyd Meddwl. Dylanwadodd canlyniadau’r adolygiad hwnnw ar ddull gweithredu’r Mesur Iechyd Meddwl.


Mae angen arweinyddiaeth gref a phrofiadol ar holl gyrff y GIG yng Nghymru, ond mae hyn hyd yn oed yn bwysicach i Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Cwm Taf Morgannwg oherwydd ei statws uwchgyfeirio presennol, ynghyd â'r heriau ychwanegol y mae sefydliadau'n eu hwynebu wrth ddelio ag effaith y pandemig.  Er bod cynnydd da wedi'i wneud ers mis Ebrill 2019, mae llawer i'w wneud o hyd i ddatblygu'r sefydliad o dan arweinyddiaeth y Cadeirydd a'r Prif Weithredwr.


Cychwynnir proses ffurfiol maes o law i benodi cadeirydd parhaol drwy gystadleuaeth agored.
