I am pleased to provide you with a summary of progress in implementing the School Nursing Framework, which I launched on 18 May 2017 in Ysgol Bae Baglan, Port Talbot. The Framework sets out the Welsh Government’s expectations for school nursing services in Wales and has the stated aim to build a service for children and young people that is safe, accessible and of a high standard, with a standardised approach across Wales.  

  

By focussing on children’s needs, the Framework aims to proactively build on the Healthy Child Wales programme (0\-7 years).  It requires that there is an identified registered school nurse to every mainstream secondary school and its cluster of feeder primary schools.  It stipulates that the service is to be provided by the NHS on an all\-year basis and will be delivered through a prudent healthcare approach that utilises the expertise from the skill mix within the teams making up the school nursing services.  

  

Health Boards have already achieved several components of the Framework.  This includes all year round provision of registered school nurses, with a nurse named against each comprehensive school and its cluster of feeder primary schools. There has also been development of the skill\-mix within school nursing teams, especially in relation to providing specific staff to support immunisations. For example, the ‘flu’ campaign can take over the school nurse’s workload for the three months of the vaccination season, preventing the nurse from doing other work.  Health Boards have utilised funding and skill\-mix to overcome this by employing immunisation teams.  This has resulted in the release of the registered school nurses to provide the roles set out in the framework and increasing accessibility to pupils.    

  

Welsh Government officials have been working in partnership with leads of NHS services to implement the framework and plan improvements for the future.  A ‘Think Tank’ for school nursing service leaders was held in October to take forward issues such as skill\-mix, future workforce planning and monitoring of performance against the new Framework standards.


Some pressures noted during the implementation period have included the identification of suitable venues for early evening and school holiday drop\-in sessions.  Welsh Government officials have linked school nursing leads with education partners to collaborate on schemes such as ‘Food and Fun’, to ensure a joined up approach and enhance accessibility.  

  

Another identified barrier has been the training need in relation to the support of emotional health and wellbeing.  A collaboration linking the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in\-reach pilot project, education and school nursing has enabled the Welsh Government to support the provision of training across education and health on this issue.  

  

I believe that an effective school nursing service maximises children and young people’s resilience and empowers them to make informed choices about their health and wellbeing. It is proactive in providing early intervention and advice when it is needed and is trusted and valued by children and young people.  

  

To ensure that this Framework is implemented fully across Wales, the Welsh Government has set up an implementation and monitoring group that will begin its work in the New Year.  

  

Work is underway to develop a new model of school nursing to support children with special needs. This will be aligned to the requirements set out in the Additional Learning Needs Bill, if enacted and will utilise a team around the family approach. This work is an adjunct to the existing school nursing framework and will in the future ensure all children in Wales receive a consistently high standard of care wherever they receive their schooling and will be launched following consultation in 2018\.  

  

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.

Rwy'n falch o roi crynodeb i chi ar y cynnydd wrth weithredu'r Fframwaith Gwasanaeth Nyrsio mewn Ysgolion, a lansiwyd gennyf i ar 18 Mai 2017 yn Ysgol Bae Baglan, Port Talbot. Mae'r Fframwaith yn amlinellu disgwyliadau Llywodraeth Cymru o wasanaethau nyrsio mewn ysgolion yng Nghymru, a'i nod penodol yw datblygu gwasanaeth i blant a phobl ifanc sy'n ddiogel, yn hygyrch ac o safon uchel, gyda dull gweithredu safonol ledled Cymru.   
  
Drwy ganolbwyntio ar anghenion plant, nod y Fframwaith yw datblygu'n rhagweithiol ar raglen Plant Iach Cymru (0\-7 oed). Mae'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol i bob ysgol uwchradd prif ffrwd, ynghyd â'i chlwstwr o ysgolion cynradd sy'n bwydo, gael nyrs ysgol gofrestredig. Mae'n mynnu y bydd y GIG yn darparu'r gwasanaeth drwy gydol y flwyddyn drwy ddull gofal iechyd darbodus sy'n defnyddio arbenigeddau o'r sgiliau yn y timau sy'n rhan o’r gwasanaethau nyrsio mewn ysgolion.   
  
Mae byrddau iechyd eisoes wedi cyflawni sawl cydran o'r Fframwaith. Mae hyn yn cynnwys darparu nyrsys ysgol cofrestredig drwy gydol y flwyddyn, gyda nyrs benodedig i bob ysgol uwchradd a'i chlwstwr o ysgolion cynradd sy'n bwydo. Mae’r sgiliau ymysg timau nyrsio mewn ysgolion hefyd wedi datblygu, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â darparu staff penodol i gefnogi gwasanaethau imiwneiddio. Er enghraifft, mae ymgyrch 'y ffliw' yn gallu llenwi llwyth gwaith y nyrs ysgol am y tri mis o'r tymor brechu, gan atal y nyrs rhag gwneud gwaith arall. Mae byrddau iechyd wedi defnyddio arian a'r pwll o sgiliau i oresgyn hyn drwy gyflogi timau imiwneiddio. Drwy hyn, mae'r nyrsys ysgol cofrestredig wedi'u rhyddhau i ymgymryd â'r rolau a amlinellir yn y fframwaith a chynyddu eu hargaeledd i ddisgyblion.   
  
Mae swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn gweithio mewn partneriaeth ag arweinwyr gwasanaethau'r GIG er mwyn rhoi'r fframwaith ar waith a chynllunio ffyrdd o wella ar gyfer y dyfodol. Cynhaliwyd melin drafod i arweinwyr gwasanaethau nyrsio mewn ysgolion ym mis Hydref er mwyn gweithredu ar faterion megis y pwll o sgiliau, cynllunio'r gweithlu ar gyfer y dyfodol a monitro perfformiad yn erbyn safonau'r Fframwaith newydd. 

Roedd rhai o'r pwysau a nodwyd yn ystod y cyfnod gweithredu yn cynnwys canfod lleoliadau addas ar gyfer cynnal sesiynau galw i mewn yn ystod gwyliau'r ysgol a min nos. Mae swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cysylltu arweinwyr nyrsio mewn ysgolion â phartneriaid addysg i gydweithio ar gynlluniau megis 'Bwyd a Hwyl', i sicrhau bod modd gweithredu ar y cyd a chynyddu eu hargaeledd.   
  
Rhwystr arall a nodwyd yw'r angen i hyfforddi mewn perthynas â chymorth iechyd a llesiant emosiynol. Mae cydweithio i gysylltu prosiect peilot Gwasanaethau Iechyd Meddwl Plant a'r Glasoed (CAMHS), addysg a nyrsio mewn ysgolion wedi galluogi y Llywodraeth Cymru i gefnogi cyfleoedd hyfforddi ym maes iechyd ac addysg ar y mater hwn.   
  
Rwy'n credu bod gwasanaeth nyrsio effeithiol mewn ysgolion yn atgyfnerthu plant a phobl ifanc ac yn eu grymuso i wneud penderfyniadau gwybodus am eu hiechyd a'u llesiant. Mae'r gwasanaeth yn rhagweithiol wrth ymyrryd yn gynnar a rhoi cyngor yn ôl yr angen, ac mae plant a phobl ifanc yn ei werthfawrogi ac yn ymddiried ynddo.   
  
Er mwyn sicrhau bod y Fframwaith hwn yn cael ei weithredu'n llawn ledled Cymru, mae’r Llywodraeth Cymru wedi sefydlu grŵp gweithredu a monitro a fydd yn dechrau ar ei waith yn y flwyddyn newydd.   
  
Mae gwaith yn mynd rhagddo i ddatblygu model newydd nyrsio mewn ysgolion i gefnogi plant ag anghenion arbennig. Bydd hyn yn cyd\-fynd â'r gofynion yn y Bil Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol, os caiff ei ddeddfu, a bydd yn defnyddio dull tîm o amgylch y teulu. Mae'r gwaith hwn yn ategu'r fframwaith nyrsio mewn ysgolion presennol a bydd yn sicrhau bod holl blant Cymru yn y dyfodol yn cael gofal o safon uchel gyson lle bynnag y cânt eu haddysg, a bydd yn cael ei lansio yn dilyn ymgynghoriad yn 2018\.   
  
Caiff y datganiad ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Os bydd aelodau eisiau i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Cynulliad yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.
