Health Minister Eluned Morgan has pledged that all incidents of COVID\-19 caught in hospitals will be investigated and lessons will be learnt to reduce the chances of it happening to anyone else.


The funding will go towards supporting a framework used by health boards to report and investigate hospital\-acquired infections. Wales is the only nation in the UK to record every incident of a hospital\-acquired infection – also known as nosocomial infections \- via the ICNET database.


The investment over two years will support health boards and the NHS Delivery Unit to take forward an important and complex programme of investigation work into cases of hospital\-acquired COVID\-19\.


Throughout the pandemic the NHS in Wales has worked incredibly hard to do all it can to keep the virus out of hospitals and to protect people being cared for, often in very difficult circumstances.


This has included rigorous infection control procedures in place in all NHS settings, including hospitals; free PPE available to all NHS and social care services; extensive guidance issued about social distancing, bed spacing, staff and patient testing, ventilation and mask wearing; and multiple checks undertaken by health boards, Healthcare Inspectorate Wales and the Health and Safety Executive.


However, despite the best efforts of healthcare staff doing their utmost to deliver care and prevent transmission of a highly infectious virus, and all these measures being in place combined with prioritised testing of healthcare workers, COVID\-19 infections have been contracted in hospitals.


They account for around 1% of all COVID\-19 infections. Very sadly, in some cases, some people have come to harm or died after acquiring COVID\-19 in hospitals. 


NHS Wales has been committed to investigating hospital\-acquired COVID infections throughout the pandemic, with families affected encouraged to contribute to the “Putting Things Right” process and The Nosocomial Transmission Group set up in May 2020 to help prevent infections through learning and publishing a national framework in relation to patient safety incidents of hospital acquired COVID\-19\.


Health Minister Eluned Morgan said:



> Our NHS in Wales has worked incredibly hard to keep the virus out of hospital settings, but unfortunately it has been impossible to achieve this.
> 
> 
> With high rates of community transmission outside of hospitals during various periods of the pandemic, it has been a monumental task to prevent COVID\-19 entering our healthcare settings and spreading to those receiving care in them.
> 
> 
> We know that in some cases patients have experienced harm or died after catching COVID\-19 in hospital settings, and we are deeply saddened by all those who have been affected by this.
> 
> 
> We are investing in this framework as we are determined to not only investigate into every case of hospital\-acquired COVID\-19 infection, but learn why it happened so we can do everything in our powers to prevent it from happening again. It will also be reviewed in two years due to the evolving nature of the pandemic.

Mae’r Gweinidog Iechyd Eluned Morgan wedi addo y bydd ymchwiliad i’r holl achosion COVID\-19 a gafwyd yn yr ysbyty, ac y bydd gwersi’n cael eu dysgu i leihau’r tebygolrwydd y bydd yn digwydd i unrhyw un arall.


Bydd y cyllid yn mynd tuag at gefnogi fframwaith a ddefnyddir gan fyrddau iechyd i adrodd ar heintiadau a gafwyd yn yr ysbyty ac ymchwilio iddynt. Mae gan GIG Cymru system ar waith sy’n cofnodi pob achos o haint a gafwyd yn yr ysbyty drwy’r gronfa ddata ICNET – system sy’n gwbl unigryw yn y DU.


Bydd y buddsoddiad dros ddwy flynedd yn cefnogi byrddau iechyd ac Uned Gyflawni’r GIG i ddatblygu rhaglen o waith ymchwil bwysig a chymhleth i achosion o heintiadau COVID\-19 a gafwyd yn yr ysbyty.


Mae’r GIG yng Nghymru wedi gweithio’n eithriadol o galed gydol y pandemig i wneud popeth posibl i gadw’r feirws allan o ysbytai ac i ddiogelu pobl sy’n derbyn gofal, a hynny’n aml mewn amgylchiadau hynod anodd.


Mae hyn wedi cynnwys rhoi mesurau rheoli heintiau trwyadl ar waith ar draws holl leoliadau’r GIG, gan gynnwys mewn ysbytai; cyfarpar diogelu personol rhad ac am ddim i holl wasanaethau’r GIG a gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol; cyhoeddi canllawiau mewn perthynas â chadw pellter cymdeithasol, y gwagle y dylid ei ganiatáu rhwng gwelyau, profi staff a chleifion, awyru a gwisgo masgiau; ac amryw o wiriadau a gynhaliwyd gan fyrddau iechyd, Arolygiaeth Gofal Iechyd Cymru a’r Awdurdod Gweithredol Iechyd a Diogelwch.


Fodd bynnag, er gwaetha ymdrechion staff gofal iechyd sy’n gwneud eu gorau glas i ddarparu gofal ac atal trosglwyddiad feirws hynod heintus, ac er bod yr holl fesurau hyn ar waith a gweithwyr gofal iechyd yn cael profion fel blaenoriaeth, mae pobl wedi dal haint COVID\-19 mewn ysbytai.


Haint a gafwyd yn yr ysbyty sydd i gyfrif am oddeutu 1% o’r holl heintiadau COVID\-19\. Mae’n drist iawn nodi, mewn rhai achosion, fod rhai unigolion wedi cael niwed neu wedi marw o ganlyniad i ddal COVID\-19 yn yr ysbyty. 


Drwy gydol y pandemig, mae GIG Cymru wedi ymrwymo i ymchwilio i heintiadau COVID a gafwyd yn yr ysbyty, gan annog y teuluoedd sydd wedi’u heffeithio i gyfrannu at y broses “Gweithio i Wella” a’r Grŵp Trosglwyddiad Nosocomiaidd a sefydlwyd ym mis Mai 2020 i helpu i atal heintiau drwy ddysgu a chyhoeddi fframwaith cenedlaethol yn ymwneud â digwyddiadau sy’n ymwneud â diogelwch cleifion o ganlyniad i heintiadau COVID\-19 a gafwyd yn yr ysbyty.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd Eluned Morgan:



> Mae ein GIG yng Nghymru wedi gweithio’n eithriadol o galed i gadw’r feirws allan o ysbytai, ond yn anffodus bu’n amhosibl cyflawni hyn.
> 
> 
> Gyda chyfraddau trosglwyddiad cymunedol yn uchel y tu allan i’r ysbyty yn ystod sawl cyfnod o’r pandemig, bu’n dasg aruthrol ceisio atal COVID\-19 rhag cyrraedd ein lleoliadau gofal iechyd a lledaenu i’r rheini sy’n darparu gofal.
> 
> 
> Gwyddom, mewn rhai achosion, fod cleifion wedi cael niwed neu wedi marw o ganlyniad i ddal COVID\-19 yn yr ysbyty, ac rydym yn teimlo dros bawb sydd wedi’u heffeithio gan hyn.
> 
> 
> Rydym yn buddsoddi yn y fframwaith hwn gan ein bod yn benderfynol o ymchwilio i bob achos o COVID\-19 a gafwyd yn yr ysbyty, a deall pam y digwyddodd hyn fel y gallwn wneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i’w atal rhag digwydd eto. Oherwydd natur esblygol y pandemig, bydd hefyd yn cael ei adolygu ymhen dwy flynedd.
