On June 8, following advice from the Wales Audit Office, Healthcare Inspectorate Wales and Welsh Government officials, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board was placed in special measures. This statement provides Assembly Members with an update about the action taken by the Welsh Government and the health board in the weeks since.


The Minister for Health and Social Services, in his statement to the National Assembly on June 9, outlined the areas the health board must take immediate action as part of special measures – governance, leadership and oversight; mental health services; consultant\-led maternity services at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd; GP and primary care services, including out\-of\-hours services and reconnecting with the public.


Simon Dean, deputy chief executive of NHS Wales, has been appointed interim chief executive of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board during this special measures period and the board is being supported by three key individuals:


 


* Dr Chris Jones, chair of Cwm Taf University Health Board. Dr Jones is providing advice and support in relation to GP and primary care services, including out\-of\-hours services. He has visited each of the out\-of\-hours services and held discussions with GPs, primary care managers and members of the board. He provided feedback about the strengths of the services and opportunities for improvement. These have informed the actions the health board is taking to address areas of concern in relation to out\-of\-hours services;
* Peter Meredith\-Smith, the former interim chair of the Board of Community Health Councils in Wales and associate director of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in Wales, is providing advice and support in mental health nursing. He is reviewing action taken so far in relation to mental health services, including the detail of the 100\-day plan for mental health to ensure it incorporates all actions in respect of Tawel Fan;
* Ann Lloyd, the former chief executive of NHS Wales and chair of the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee, is providing advice and support about governance and accountability and is working closely in support of the chair and interim chief executive. Mrs Lloyd has reviewed the current governance arrangements; led a board workshop and developed an action plan to address key issues quickly. This will result in a clear governance framework for the health board being in place in the autumn. She is also undertaking a board effectiveness review, which will identify areas for attention which will be pursued as part of a board development programme.


 


Work is also underway to review, and if necessary identify further support, in respect of workforce issues, strategic mental health services and service planning.


Mr Dean has recognised the need for pace and urgency in taking forward the need for change and improvement. He has announced a series of 100\-day plans, which set out specific, measurable and deliverable actions in relation to each of the special measures areas.


Each plan has been clearly articulated with clear milestones against which progress will be measured. The plans have been published on the health board’s website and will be discussed at the public board meeting today. http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sitesplus/861/page/82419\.


The health board is also taking forward a comprehensive listening process with the public and NHS staff. More than 40 events will be held across North Wales over the summer and the board will also join a number of community events.


Over the past month, 15 listening events have been held, giving members of local communities an opportunity to express their views about the health service in North Wales. There have also been 10 events for staff to discuss their views with senior managers. The feedback from these events is being collated and will be acted on.  


Many organisations have offered to help and support the health board, including other health boards and professional and representative bodies, including the British Medical Association, the RCN and UNISON. I am grateful to these organisations and welcome the support which has been offered. The health board is considering these offers and the potential benefits their input could bring in drawing together clinical and staff perspectives.


Good foundations have been laid on which more work to rebuild people’s confidence in the quality of services in North Wales can and will be taken.

  Ar 8 Mehefin, ar ôl cael cyngor gan Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru, Arolygiaeth Gofal Iechyd Cymru a swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru, gosodwyd Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr dan fesurau arbennig. Mae'r datganiad hwn yn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i Aelodau’r Cynulliad am y camau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru a'r bwrdd iechyd wedi'u cymryd yn yr wythnosau ers hynny.

Yn ei ddatganiad i'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol ar 9 Mehefin, amlinellodd y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol y meysydd lle y mae’n rhaid i'r bwrdd iechyd gymryd camau brys fel rhan o'r mesurau arbennig \- llywodraethu, arweiniad a throsolwg; gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl; gwasanaethau mamolaeth dan arweiniad ymgynghorwyr yn Ysbyty Glan Clwyd; gwasanaethau meddygon teulu a gofal sylfaenol, gan gynnwys gwasanaethau y tu allan i oriau, ac ailgysylltu â'r cyhoedd.

Mae Simon Dean, dirprwy brif weithredwr GIG Cymru, wedi’i benodi’n brif weithredwr dros dro Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr yn ystod y cyfnod hwn o fesurau arbennig, ac mae'r bwrdd yn cael cymorth gan dri unigolyn allweddol:

* Dr Chris Jones, cadeirydd Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Cwm Taf. Mae Dr Jones yn rhoi cyngor a chymorth mewn perthynas â gwasanaethau meddygon teulu a gofal sylfaenol, gan gynnwys gwasanaethau y tu allan i oriau. Mae wedi ymweld â phob un o'r gwasanaethau y tu allan i oriau ac wedi cynnal trafodaethau gyda meddygon teulu, rheolwyr gofal sylfaenol ac aelodau'r bwrdd. Mae wedi rhoi adborth am gryfderau'r gwasanaethau a'r cyfleoedd i wneud gwelliannau. Mae'r rhain wedi dylanwadu ar y camau y mae'r bwrdd iechyd yn eu cymryd i fynd i'r afael â'r meysydd sy'n peri pryder mewn perthynas â gwasanaethau y tu allan i oriau;
* Mae Peter Meredith\-Smith, cyn\-gadeirydd dros dro y Bwrdd Cynghorau Iechyd Cymuned yng Nghymru a chyfarwyddwr cysylltiol y Coleg Nyrsio Brenhinol yng Nghymru, yn rhoi cyngor a chymorth ym maes nyrsio iechyd meddwl. Ar hyn o bryd mae'n adolygu’r camau sydd wedi'u cymryd hyd yma mewn perthynas â gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl, gan gynnwys manylion y cynllun 100 diwrnod ar gyfer iechyd meddwl, i sicrhau ei fod yn cynnwys yr holl gamau o ran Tawel Fan;
* Mae Ann Lloyd, cyn\-brif weithredwr GIG Cymru a chadeirydd Pwyllgor Gwasanaethau Iechyd Arbenigol Cymru, yn rhoi cyngor a chymorth ar lywodraethu ac atebolrwydd, ac mae'n gweithio'n agos i gynorthwyo'r cadeirydd a'r prif weithredwr dros dro. Mae Mrs Lloyd wedi adolygu'r trefniadau llywodraethu presennol; wedi arwain gweithdy ar gyfer y bwrdd ac wedi datblygu cynllun gweithredu i fynd i'r afael â materion allweddol yn gyflym. Bydd hyn yn golygu bod fframwaith llywodraethu clir ar gyfer y bwrdd iechyd yn cael ei roi ar waith yn yr hydref. Mae hi hefyd yn cynnal adolygiad o effeithiolrwydd y bwrdd, a fydd yn nodi’r meysydd sydd angen sylw. Bydd y rhain wedyn yn cael eu cynnwys yn rhaglen ddatblygu’r bwrdd.

Mae gwaith hefyd yn cael ei wneud i adolygu a, lle bo angen, i nodi pa gymorth pellach y bydd gofyn ei gael o ran materion yn ymwneud â'r gweithlu, gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl strategol a chynllunio gwasanaethau. 

Mae Mr Dean wedi cydnabod bod angen bwrw ymlaen yn gyflym ac ar fyrder o ran yr angen am newidiadau a gwelliannau. Mae wedi cyhoeddi cyfres o gynlluniau 100 diwrnod, sy'n pennu camau penodol, mesuradwy y gellir eu cyflawni mewn perthynas â phob o feysydd y mesurau arbennig.

Mae pob cynllun wedi’i amlinellu’n eglur ac yn cynnwys cerrig milltir clir ar gyfer mesur cynnydd. Mae’r cynlluniau wedi’u cyhoeddi ar wefan y bwrdd iechyd a byddant yn cael eu trafod yng nghyfarfod cyhoeddus y bwrdd heddiw. http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sitesplus/861/tudalen/82421

Mae'r bwrdd iechyd hefyd yn cynnal proses wrando gynhwysfawr gyda'r cyhoedd a staff y GIG. Bydd mwy na 40 o ddigwyddiadau yn cael eu cynnal ledled y Gogledd dros yr haf a bydd y bwrdd hefyd yn mynychu nifer o ddigwyddiadau cymunedol.

Dros y mis diwethaf, mae 15 o ddigwyddiadau gwrando wedi'u cynnal, gan roi’r cyfle i bobl mewn cymunedau lleol fynegi eu barn am y gwasanaeth iechyd yn y Gogledd. Cynhaliwyd 10 digwyddiad hefyd i roi cyfle i’r staff drafod eu barn gydag uwch\-reolwyr. Mae'r adborth o'r digwyddiadau hyn yn cael ei gasglu ar hyn o bryd a bydd camau gweithredu’n cael eu cymryd ar sail yr adborth hwnnw.

Mae nifer o sefydliadau wedi cynnig helpu a chefnogi'r bwrdd iechyd gan gynnwys byrddau iechyd eraill a chyrff proffesiynol a chynrychiadol megis Cymdeithas Feddygol Prydain, y Coleg Nyrsio Brenhinol ac UNISON. Rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn i'r sefydliadau hyn ac yn croesawu'r gefnogaeth y maent wedi’i chynnig. Mae’r bwrdd iechyd yn ystyried y cynigion hyn a'r manteision posibl a allai ddod yn eu sgil o ran dwyn ynghyd safbwyntiau clinigol a safbwyntiau staff.

Mae sylfeini da wedi'u gosod ar gyfer bwrw ymlaen â gwaith pellach i adennill hyder pobl yn ansawdd y gwasanaethau yn y Gogledd.
