Mae’r rhif 111 yn cyfarwyddo cleifion at y gwasanaeth sydd fwyaf priodol ar gyfer eu hanghenion o safbwynt clinigol, ac yn darparu cyngor iechyd a chymorth gofal brys drwy wasanaeth ffôn di\-dâl. Mae ar gael 24 awr y dydd, saith niwrnod yr wythnos.   
   
Mae’r gwasanaeth yn dod â galw Iechyd Cymru a’r gwasanaeth ateb galwadau a brysbennu meddygon teulu y tu allan i oriau at ei gilydd yn un gwasanaeth, gan helpu cleifion i wneud y penderfyniadau cywir am eu gofal.   
   
Cafodd y gwasanaeth, sy’n wahanol i fodeli eraill yn y DU oherwydd bod ganddo gyfran uwch o staff yn perthyn iddo, ei lansio fel peilot ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol  Abertawe Bro Morgannwg ym mis Hydref 2016, a’i ymestyn i Sir Gaerfyrddin ym mis Mai 2017\.   
   
Rhwng 4 Hydref 2016 a 30 Ebrill 2017 mae’r gwasanaeth ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol  Abertawe Bro Morgannwg wedi ateb mwy na 73,000 o alwadau.   
   
Dywedodd Vaughan Gething: 


> “Mae’r adborth rydyn ni wedi’i gael gan glinigwyr lleol, staff gweithredol ac, yn bwysicach na hynny, y cyhoedd sydd wedi bod yn defnyddio’r gwasanaeth 111 wedi bod yn bositif iawn. Mae hyn yn newyddion da iawn ac yn arwydd clir bod y peilot wedi bod yn llwyddiant hyd yma.
> 
> “Rwy’n falch gyda’r cynnydd sydd wedi’i wneud hyd yma a hoffwn ddiolch i’r tîm 111, clinigwyr a staff gweithredol am eu gwaith caled yn darparu’r gwasanaeth. Roeddwn i’n lwcus o weld aelodau’r tîm 111 wrth eu gwaith yn ddiweddar ac fe gafodd yr hyn a welais i dipyn o argraff arnaf i.  
> 
> “Rydw i wedi comisiynu gwerthusiad o’r peilot hyd yma er mwyn inni allu dysgu gwersi ar gyfer y dyfodol. Rydw i hefyd wedi gofyn i’r Bwrdd Rhaglen 111 ddarparu cynllun cadarn imi erbyn hydref 2017 ar gyfer datblygu’r gwasanaeth. Rwy’n disgwyl i’r cynllun hwn amlinellu opsiynau ar gyfer sut y gallai’r gwasanaeth 111 weithredu ar i’r peilot ddod i ben, fel gwasanaeth cenedlaethol i gefnogi cleifion a’r Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol i drin cleifion sydd ag anghenion gofal brys yn fwy effeithiol.
> 
> “Rydw i’n meddwl y bydd 111 yn rhoi tipyn o gyfleoedd inni i sicrhau bod cleifion yn cael y gwasanaeth mwyaf priodol ar gyfer eu hanghenion, ar yr amser cywir ac yn y lle cywir. Mae rhai penderfyniadau mawr i’w gwneud o hyd, ond rydw i wedi dweud yn glir mai gwneud pethau’n iawn, nid eu gwneud nhw’n gyflym, sy’n bwysig.”







Translation:


 
The 111 number directs patients to the most clinically appropriate service for their needs, providing health advice and urgent care support through a free\-to\-call telephone service. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.   
   
The service brings together NHS Direct Wales and GP Out\-of\-Hours call handling and triage into a single service, simplifying access to services for patients supporting them to make the right choices about their care.  
   
The service, which differs from other UK models by having a greater proportion of clinical staff within it, was launched as a pilot in Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board (ABM), in October 2016, and extended to Carmarthenshire in May 2017\.   
   
Between 4 October 2016 and 30 April 2017 the service in ABM has dealt with in excess of 73,000 calls  
   
Vaughan Gething said: 


> “The feedback we have had from local clinicians, operational staff and, more importantly, the public who have using the 111 service has been very positive. This is welcome news and clear sign that the pilot has been a success so far.
> 
> “I am very pleased with the progress that has been made to date and would like to thank the 111 team, clinicians and operational staff for their hard work in delivering this service. I was fortunate to see the 111 team in action recently and was impressed by what I saw.
> 
> “I have commissioned an evaluation of the pilot so far so we can learn lessons for the future. I have also asked the 111 Programme Board to provide me with a robust plan by autumn 2017 for taking the service forward.  I expect this plan to set out options for how the 111 service could operate post pilot, as a national service to support patients and the NHS to treat patients with urgent care needs more effectively.
> 
> “I believe 111 will provide us with significant opportunities in enabling patients to receive the most appropriate service for their need, at the right time in the right place. A number of big decisions still need to be made, but I have made it clear that this is about doing it right, and not doing it quickly.”
