Heddiw, rydym wedi cyhoeddi fframwaith ar gyfer rhoi profion COVID\-19 i gleifion ysbytai yng Nghymru. Mae’n adeiladu ar ein strategaeth brofi i Gymru, sydd wedi cael ei diweddaru, a’i chyhoeddi fis Ionawr. Mae’n pwysleisio ein blaenoriaethau profi, gan gynnwys yr angen i gefnogi gofal clinigol y GIG, a diogelu’r GIG, ein gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol a’r bobl hynny sydd fwyaf agored i niwed.


Mae’r fframwaith yn nodi pum diben i’r profion, sef rhoi diagnosis; atal y feirws COVID\-19 rhag mynd i mewn i ysbytai yn ddiarwybod; ei atal rhag lledaenu o fewn ysbytai, lleihau’r risgiau i gohortau o bobl sy’n arbennig o agored i niwed, ond bod angen iddynt gael triniaeth; a sicrhau bod cleifion yn gallu cael eu rhyddhau yn ddiogel i fynd adref neu i ofal cymunedol. Drwy nodi’n brydlon y cleifion hynny sy’n cael eu derbyn i’r ysbyty, ond sydd wedi eu heintio â COVID\-19, bydd yn bosibl gwneud penderfyniadau clinigol i sicrhau eu bod yn cael y gofal mwyaf priodol.


Mae gallu ein hysbytai i gynnal ystod lawn o wasanaethau clinigol diogel yn dibynnu ar y gallu i atal COVID\-19 rhag cael ei drosglwyddo o fewn ysbytai. Mae hynny’n gofyn bod cleifion sydd â COVID\-19 yn aros ar wahân cyn belled â phosibl, hyd yn oed os ydynt yn asymptomatig. Mae’n debygol mai’r ffordd fwyaf effeithiol o gyflawni’r nod hwn yw drwy gynnal profion rheolaidd a systematig ar gleifion mewn ysbytai. Hefyd dylid sicrhau bod cyn lleied â phosibl o drosglwyddo’n digwydd gan y staff, a hefyd rhwng yr aelodau o staff, drwy weithredu’r trefniadau a gyflwynwyd gennym ym mis Rhagfyr i gynnal profion llif unffordd ddwywaith yr wythnos ar weithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol rheng flaen.


Bydd y fframwaith hwn ar waith mewn ysbytai cymunedol, cyfleusterau iechyd meddwl, ac ysbytai annibynnol, gan gynnwys hosbisau, yn ogystal ag ysbytai’r GIG.

We have today published a framework for COVID\-19 testing for hospital patients in Wales. It builds on our refreshed testing strategy for Wales we published in January, which reiterates our testing priorities including supporting NHS clinical care and protecting our NHS and social care services and people who are among our most vulnerable.


The framework sets out five purposes of testing to diagnose, to prevent COVID\-19 from entering hospitals undetected, to prevent its spread within hospitals, to reduce risks to particularly vulnerable cohorts of patients requiring treatment, and to enable the safe discharge of patients to their home or to community care. By enabling those patients admitted to hospital who are infected with COVID\-19 to be rapidly identified, clinical judgements can be made to ensure the best care for them.


The ability of our hospitals to safely maintain a full range of clinical services is dependent upon the prevention of transmission of COVID\-19 within hospitals. This requires the separation, so far as possible, of patients with COVID\-19 even if they are asymptomatic. This aim is most likely to be achieved by regular and systematic testing of patients in hospitals. Transmission from and between staff should also be minimised by regular staff testing through the twice\-weekly lateral flow testing of frontline health and social care workers we introduced in December.


It is intended that the framework will apply to community hospitals, mental health facilities and independent hospitals, including hospices, as well as NHS hospitals.
