 Mae Gwaed a Thrawsblaniadau'r GIG wedi cyhoeddi gwaith ymchwil newydd sy’n dangos bod bron i draean o bobl ddu ac Asiaidd yng Nghymru yn ansicr ynghylch rhoi organau ar ôl iddynt farw ar gyfer trawsblaniadau sy'n gallu achub bywydau.

Dywedodd cyfran debyg ohonynt \- 31% \-  eu bod yn gwbl bendant nad oeddent eisiau rhoi organau. Dim ond 16% o'r rhai a gymerodd ran yn yr arolwg ddywedodd y byddent yn bendant yn rhoi pob un neu rai o'u horganau, a dywedodd y gweddill y byddent yn gwneud hynny.

Y prif beth sy'n eu rhwystro yw'r gred bod rhoi organau yn erbyn eu diwylliant neu yn erbyn eu crefydd. Fodd bynnag, mae pob un o brif grefyddau'r DU yn cefnogi rhoi organau a thrawsblannu.

Roedd llai nag un o bob pump (17%) o'r rhai a gymerodd ran yn yr arolwg yn gwybod mai organau sydd wedi'u cyd\-weddu yn ôl ethnigrwydd sydd â'r siawns orau o lwyddo. Dim ond un o bob 10 (11%) a wyddai fod pobl o gefndir du, Asiaidd a lleiafrifoedd ethnig yn fwy tebygol o fod angen trawsblaniad organau na phobl groenwyn.

Mae grwpiau cymunedol a grwpiau ffydd ledled Cymru a Lloegr bellach yn cael eu gwahodd i wneud cais am gyllid drwy gynllun buddsoddi cymunedol newydd, i helpu i chwalu'r mythau a'r rhwystrau a chynyddu'r gefnogaeth i roi organau ymhlith cymunedau du, Asiaidd a  lleiafrifoedd ethnig. 

Caiff y cynllun ei gyllido gan Lywodraeth Cymru a'r Adran Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol, a bydd Gwaed a Thrawsblaniadau'r GIG yn ei arwain.

Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Iechyd, Vaughan Gething:


> "Rydym wedi gweld gwelliant aruthrol yn y niferoedd sy'n rhoi caniatâd i roi organau yng Nghymru, ond mae pobl yn marw o hyd wrth aros am drawsblaniad, felly mae angen gymaint o bobl â phosibl arnom o bob cefndir ethnig i gytuno i roi organau. 
> 
> "Mae'r gwaith ymchwil diweddaraf yn tynnu sylw at nifer o gamsyniadau sydd gan bobl o ran rhoi organau. Rydym eisiau gwneud yn siŵr bod gan bobl yr holl wybodaeth angenrheidiol wrth iddynt wneud eu penderfyniad, a dyna'r rheswm dros gynnig cyllid i helpu grwpiau cymunedol sôn wrth bobl o gefndiroedd du, Asiaidd a lleiafrifoedd ethnig am roi organau a'r effaith bositif y gall y penderfyniad i roi organau ei chael."

Dywedodd Anthony Clarkson, Cyfarwyddwr Dros Dro Rhoi Organau a Thrawsblannu Gwaed a Thrawsblaniadau'r GIG: 


> "Mae ein gwaith ymchwil wedi dangos pa mor bwysig yw hi i fynd i'r afael â'r mythau a'r rhwystrau ac annog pobl o gefndiroedd du, Asiaidd a lleiafrifoedd ethnig i siarad am roi organau.
> 
> Mae gan y grwpiau cymunedol a'r grwpiau ffydd le pwysig yn eu cymunedau, felly mae ganddynt rôl hanfodol i'w chwarae o ran helpu pobl i gefnogi rhoi  organau a’i ddeall.
> 
> "Bydd y cynllun buddsoddi cymunedol hwn yn galluogi'r grwpiau hyn i hyrwyddo neges bositif am roi organau ac annog mwy o bobl o gefndiroedd du, Asiaidd a lleiafrifoedd ethnig i benderfynu bod yn rhoddwr organau i achub bywydau a’u hannog i ddweud hynny wrth eu teuluoedd."

Bydd £20,000 ar gael ar gyfer prosiectau yng Nghymru yn ystod blwyddyn gyntaf y cynllun.  Bydd sefydliadau sy'n gweithredu ar lefel leol yng Nghymru a Lloegr yn gallu cyflwyno ceisiadau ar wahân neu ar y cyd er mwyn cynnwys y ddwy ardal.

Bydd cyllid ar gael ar ddwy lefel. Gall ymgeiswyr wneud cais am gyllid ar gyfer prosiectau hyd at £2,499 neu ar gyfer prosiectau sydd werth mwy na £2,500\. Caiff yr holl geisiadau eu hadolygu gan banel o feirniaid annibynnol a bydd y panel hefyd yn gweithredu fel grŵp llywio ac yn cadw golwg ar y prosiectau.

Dylai'r ceisiadau ddod i law cyn 5pm, ddydd Llun 24 Medi. Bydd angen cwblhau'r prosiectau cyn diwedd Mehefin 2019\.

Mae'r cynllun buddsoddi cymunedol yn rhan o ymgyrch y Llywodraeth o dan arweiniad Gwaed a Thrawsblaniadau'r GIG gyda chefnogaeth gan Gynghrair Trawsblannu BAME Cenedlaethol (NBTA) er mwyn mynd i'r afael â'r angen brys am roddwyr organau o gefndiroedd du, Asiaidd a lleiafrifoedd ethnig.

Almost a third of black and Asian people in Wales are unsure about donating their organs for lifesaving transplants after their death according to new research by NHS Blood and Transplant.

A similar proportion \- 31% \- said they definitely did not want to donate. Just 16% of those surveyed said they would definitely donate all or some of their organs, while the remainder would consider it.

The main barrier is the belief that organ donation is against their culture or religion. However, all the major religions in the UK support organ donation and transplantation.

Less than one in five (17%) of those surveyed were aware that organs matched by ethnicity had the best chance of success. Only one in 10 (11%) knew that people from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds are more likely to need an organ transplant than white people.

Community and faith based groups from across England and Wales are now being invited to apply for funding through a new community investment scheme, to help break down myths and barriers and increase support for organ donation among black, Asian and ethnic minority communities. 

The scheme is funded by the Welsh Government and the Department of Health and Social Care, and is led by NHS Blood and Transplant. 

Health Secretary, Vaughan Gething said:


> “We have seen huge improvements in consent rates for organ donation in Wales, but there are still people dying waiting for a transplant so we need as many people as possible, from all ethnic backgrounds to agree to donate. 
> 
> “This latest research highlights the many misconceptions people still have about organ donation. We want to make sure people are fully informed when making their decision, which is why we are offering funding to help community groups talk to people from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds about organ donation and the positive impact a decision to donate can have.”

Anthony Clarkson, NHS Blood and Transplant Interim Director for Organ Donation and Transplantation, said: 


> “Our research findings underline how important it is to address myths and barriers and encourage more people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds to talk about organ donation.
> 
> “Community and faith\-based organisations occupy a trusted place in their communities and can play a vital role in increasing support for and understanding of organ donation.
> 
> “This community investment scheme will enable these groups to promote a positive organ donation message and encourage more people from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds to decide that they want to be a lifesaving organ donor and to share that decision with their families.”

£20,000 will be available for projects in Wales in the first year of the scheme.  Organisations operating at a local level in both England and Wales will be able to put in separate applications or combined applications to cover both areas. 

There will be two levels of funding available. Applicants can apply for funding for projects up to £2,499 or for projects over the value of £2,500\. All applications will be reviewed by an independent judging panel which will also oversee the projects as a steering group.

Applications should be received no later than 5pm on Monday, September 24th. Projects will need to be completed by end June 2019\.

The community investment scheme is part of a Government campaign led by NHS Blood and Transplant with support from the National BAME Transplant Alliance (NBTA) to address the urgent need for black, Asian and minority ethnic donors.
