Endometriosis is a common condition that affects as many as 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. Although some women might not have any noticeable symptoms of the condition, I have heard from others that have suffered significant symptoms and impact on their quality of life.  

  

Last year, following a report by Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales (FTWW), the Chief Executive of the NHS in Wales established a Task and Finish Group to review endometriosis services in Wales.  

  

The Group, chaired by consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, Dr Richard Penketh, was made up of a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, academics and patients.  It considered many sources of data, including recent NICE guidelines and research as well as new evidence produced in Wales.  

  

I wish to express my thanks to all members of the group for their hard work in the preparation of their report, which I am pleased to publish today. This report is the start of a process that will improve the lives of women in Wales affected by endometriosis. Additionally, it highlights the benefits of collective working between clinicians and patient groups to achieve a positive outcome.  

  

The report describes a lack of understanding of endometriosis among some health professionals and how current provision fails to meet the level of need. This has caused delays in diagnosis and sub\-optimal clinical care on some occasions, with a consequent impact on the quality of life of users of these services.  

  

The Group make a number of recommendations to improve endometriosis services and provide better outcomes for women. This includes raising awareness among health professionals and promoting education around menstrual well\-being.  

  

Health boards have a responsibility to deliver high quality gynaecology services and it is vital they provide a robust and effective pathway, including early diagnosis, for the management of endometriosis. My officials have written to health boards seeking assurance that they are operating their services so they deliver the NICE guidance on endometriosis.  

  

It is important that serious health issues affecting women are dealt with effectively and appropriately. For this reason, I have directed the recently established Women’s Health Implementation Group, chaired by Tracy Myhill, Chief Executive of ABMU Health Board, to consider all the recommendations in this report alongside its work on vaginal mesh and tape.  

  

The Women’s Health Implementation Group will provide strategic leadership to ensure an all\-Wales approach to break down barriers and join up pathways between primary, secondary and tertiary care, so women’s health is managed in the community wherever possible, with minimal need for intervention.

Mae endometriosis yn gyflwr cyffredin sy'n effeithio ar gynifer ag 1 o bob 10 o fenywod mewn oed i gael plant. Er efallai na fydd gan rai menywod unrhyw symptomau amlwg o'r cyflwr, rwyf wedi clywed gan eraill sydd wedi dioddef symptomau sylweddol sydd wedi effeithio cryn dipyn ar ansawdd eu bywydau.  
  
Llynedd, yn dilyn adroddiad gan Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales (FTWW), sefydlwyd grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen gan Brif Weithredwr GIG Cymru i adolygu gwasanaethau endometriosis yng Nghymru.  
  
Roedd y grŵp, dan gadeiryddiaeth yr obstetregydd ymgynghorol a'r gynaecolegydd, Dr Richard Penketh, yn cynnwys tîm amlddisgyblaethol o glinigwyr, academyddion a chleifion.    Fe ystyriodd nifer o ffynonellau data, gan gynnwys canllawiau ac ymchwil diweddar NICE yn ogystal â thystiolaeth newydd a gynhyrchwyd yng Nghymru.   
  
Hoffwn i ddiolch i holl aelodau'r grŵp am eu gwaith caled yn paratoi'r adroddiad hwn, yr wyf mor falch ei gyhoeddi heddiw. Mae'r adroddiad hwn yn ddechrau proses a fydd yn gwella bywydau menywod yng Nghymru sydd wedi'u heffeithio gan endometriosis. Ar ben hynny, mae'n tynnu sylw at fanteision gwaith ar y cyd rhwng clinigwyr a grwpiau o gleifion i sicrhau canlyniad cadarnhaol.  
  
Mae'r adroddiad yn disgrifio diffyg dealltwriaeth o endometriosis ymysg rhai gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol, a'r ffordd y mae'r ddarpariaeth bresennol yn methu â bodloni lefel yr angen. O ganlyniad, gwelwyd oedi i gael diagnosis a gofal clinigol nad oedd o'r ansawdd orau ar rai achlysuron, gan effeithio ar ansawdd bywydau defnyddwyr y gwasanaethau hyn.  
  
Mae'r grŵp yn gwneud nifer o argymhellion i wella gwasanaethau endometriosis a darparu gwell canlyniadau i fenywod. Yn eu plith mae codi ymwybyddiaeth ymysg gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol a hyrwyddo addysg ynghylch llesiant mislifol.  
  
Mae cyfrifoldeb ar fyrddau iechyd i ddarparu gwasanaethau gynaecoleg o ansawdd uchel, ac mae'n hanfodol iddynt ddarparu llwybr cadarn ac effeithiol, gan gynnwys diagnosis cynnar, i reoli endometriosis. Mae fy swyddogion wedi ysgrifennu at fyrddau iechyd i ofyn am sicrwydd eu bod yn gweithredu eu gwasanaethau gan gyflawni canllawiau NICE ar endometriosis.  
  
Rhaid i faterion iechyd difrifol sy'n effeithio ar fenywod gael sylw effeithiol a phriodol. Am y rheswm hwn, rwyf wedi rhoi cyfarwyddyd i'r Grŵp Gweithredu ar Iechyd Menywod a sefydlwyd yn ddiweddar dan gadeiryddiaeth Tracy Myhill, Prif Weithredwr Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Abertawe Bro Morgannwg, i ystyried holl argymhellion yr adroddiad hwn ynghyd â'i waith ar dâp a rhwyll y wain.   
  
Bydd y Grŵp Gweithredu ar Iechyd Menywod yn darparu arweiniad strategol er mwyn gweithredu ar draws Cymru gyfan i chwalu rhwystrau a chyfuno llwybrau gofal sylfaenol, gofal eilaidd a gofal trydyddol, fel bod iechyd menywod yn cael ei reoli yn y gymuned lle bynnag y bo'n bosibl gan leihau'r angen am ymyrraeth.
