The success of the NHS relies on having a workforce which responds to the health and wellbeing needs of the Welsh population and is able to provide high\-quality care now and in the future. In many respects, the NHS has been a victim of its success.   

Developments in research, together with technological advances, mean people are living longer and are surviving diseases which would have once cut their lives short. As a result, the demand placed on the health service is now greater than at any time in its history. This makes it even more important to ensure the NHS workforce is able to keep pace with the changes required to ensure has the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to provide sustainable services.


Wales’ population is ageing and there are now more older people than children living in Wales. This trend is set to continue, with the number of people aged 65 and over projected to increase by 50% between 2012 and 2037 and the number aged 85 projected to more than double.


This will have significant implications for the way services are delivered in Wales. The Welsh Government is committed to moving care closer to people’s homes by ensuring more community\-based services are developed, which aim to keep people out of hospital and as independent as possible.


This approach will require a fundamental change in the way services are planned and delivered and will present challenges to the way we educate and train the workforce to deliver care both now and in the future.


Our NHS workforce is highly\-trained but we must capitalise on the huge range of skills that exist within the healthcare family to find ways of enabling everyone to make the best possible contribution they can. This means working across professional boundaries, recognising and valuing the contribution each individual makes to the NHS while looking for ways to simplify services in the interest of patients.


As part of that process I am today announcing an £80m package to support a range of education and training programmes for healthcare professionals, including midwives, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. 


The increase in the number of training places in 2015\-16 includes:


* Nursing – 230 extra places, an increase of 22% from 2014\-15;
* Paramedic training – 58 extra places, an increase of 161%;
* Occupational therapists – 23 extra places, an increase of 26%;
* Physiotherapy – 25 extra places, an increase of 26%;
* Diagnostic radiography – 19 extra places, an increase of 26%;
* Speech and language therapy \- seven extra places, an increase of 19%;
* Clinical scientists – nine extra places, an increase of 52%;
* Dental hygienists and technicians – nine extra places, an increase of 41%.


 


These additional training places will increase the capacity of the NHS to develop community\-based models of care by ensuring a wide range of healthcare professionals work together in the interest of their patients.

Mae llwyddiant y GIG yn dibynnu ar weithlu sy’n ymateb i anghenion iechyd a llesiant pobl Cymru ac sy’n gallu darparu gofal o ansawdd uchel nawr ac yn y dyfodol. Mewn sawl ffordd, mae’r GIG yn dioddef oherwydd ei lwyddiant ei hun. 

Mae datblygiadau mewn ymchwil, ynghyd â chynnydd technolegol, yn golygu bod pobl yn byw’n hwy ac yn dod drwy glefydau a fyddai wedi’u lladd yn y gorffennol. O ganlyniad, mae mwy o alw nag erioed o’r blaen ar y gwasanaeth iechyd. Mae hyn yn golygu ei bod yn bwysicach fyth i sicrhau y gall gweithlu’r GIG gadw ochr yn ochr â’r newidiadau y mae eu hangen, a’u bod yn magu’r sgiliau, yr wybodaeth a’r profiad angenrheidiol i ddarparu gwasanaethau cynaliadwy.

Mae poblogaeth Cymru yn heneiddio, a bellach mae mwy o bobl hŷn yn byw yng Nghymru nag o blant. Mae disgwyl i’r tueddiad hwn barhau, gyda chynnydd o 50% yn nifer o bobl 65 oed a throsodd rhwng 2012 a 2037 a nifer y bobl 85 oed yn mwy na dyblu.  
Bydd gan hyn oblygiadau sylweddol i’r ffordd y caiff gwasanaethau eu darparu yng Nghymru. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymrwymedig i symud gofal yn agosach at gartrefi pobl drwy sicrhau y caiff mwy o wasanaethau cymunedol eu datblygu, gyda’r nod o gadw pobl allan o’r ysbyty ac mor annibynnol â phosibl.

Bydd hyn yn gofyn am newid sylfaenol yn y ffordd y caiff gwasanaethau eu cynllunio a’u darparu a bydd yn cyflwyno heriau yn y ffordd rydyn ni’n addysgu ac yn hyfforddi’r gweithlu i ddarparu gofal nawr ac yn y dyfodol.

Mae gweithlu’r GIG wedi cael hyfforddiant manwl ond mae’n rhaid i ni fanteisio ar yr ystod anferthol o sgiliau sydd ym mhob rhan o’r gweithlu gofal iechyd i ganfod ffyrdd o alluogi pobl i wneud eu cyfraniad gorau posibl. Mae hyn yn golygu gweithio ar draws ffiniau proffesiynol, gan gydnabod a gwerthfawrogi’r cyfraniad gan bob unigolyn i’r GIG, gan chwilio am ffyrdd o symleiddio gwasanaethau er budd cleifion.

Fel rhan o’r broses honno, rwy’n cyhoeddi pecyn o £80m heddiw i gefnogi ystod o raglenni addysg a hyfforddi ar gyfer gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol, gan gynnwys bydwragedd, ffisiotherapyddion a therapyddion galwedigaethol.   
Mae’r cynnydd yn nifer y lleoedd hyfforddi yn 2015\-16 yn cynnwys:

* Nyrsio – 230 o leoedd ychwanegol, sef cynnydd o 22% o’i gymharu â 2014\-15;
* Hyfforddiant parafeddygol – 58 o leoedd ychwanegol, sef cynnydd o 161%;
* Therapyddion galwedigaethol – 23 o leoedd ychwanegol, sef cynnydd o 26%;
* Ffisiotherapi – 25 o leoedd ychwanegol, sef cynnydd o 26%;
* Radiograffeg diagnostig – 19 o leoedd ychwanegol, sef cynnydd o 26%;
* Therapi iaith a lleferydd – saith o leoedd ychwanegol, sef cynnydd o 19%;
* Gwyddonwyr clinigol – naw o leoedd ychwanegol, sef cynnydd o 52%;
* Hylenwyr a thechnegwyr deintyddol – naw o leoedd ychwanegol, sef cynnydd o 41%.

Bydd y lleoedd hyfforddi ychwanegol hyn yn galluogi’r GIG i ddatblygu modelau gofal cymunedol drwy sicrhau bod ystod eang o weithwyr iechyd proffesiynol yn cydweithio er budd eu cleifion.
