Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Eluned Morgan:


> Bob dydd mae ein staff arwrol yn y Gwasanaeth Iechyd yn darparu gwasanaethau o safon o dan y lefelau uchaf erioed o alw.
> 
> Er gwaethaf lefelau uchel cynyddol o alw am ein gwasanaethau canser, rwy'n falch o weld bod perfformiad yn erbyn y targed canser wedi cynyddu y mis hwn i 56 y cant, ochr yn ochr â'r nifer mwyaf erioed o bobl yn cael gwybod nad oedd canser ganddynt ym mis Hydref.
> 
> Dechreuodd bron i 2,000 o bobl driniaeth ar gyfer canser y mis hwn, cynnydd o 8 y cant o gymharu â'r un mis y llynedd a'r ffigur ail uchaf ers dechrau cadw cofnodion.
> 
> Rydym wedi rhoi pwyslais clir ar drin y cleifion hynny sydd ag angen brys a'r rhai sydd wedi bod yn aros hiraf. Rydym wedi parhau i weld nifer y cleifion sy'n aros dros ddwy flynedd yn gostwng – i lawr 64 y cant ers yr uchafbwynt.
> 
> Gofynnais yn flaenorol i fyrddau iechyd sicrhau y bydd 97 y cant o'r rhai sy'n aros ar ddiwedd mis Rhagfyr 2023 yn aros llai na 104 o wythnosau. Roeddem yn agos iawn at gyflawni hynny ym mis Hydref (96\.6 y cant) ac roedd pedwar bwrdd iechyd eisoes wedi cyrraedd y targed hwnnw.
> 
> Yn ystod y 3 blynedd diwethaf, mae'r amser aros cyfartalog ar gyfer cleifion sy'n aros am ofal a gynlluniwyd wedi'i leihau draean. Tua 20 wythnos yw'r amser aros canolrifol erbyn hyn ac mae'r ffigur hwnnw nawr yn sefydlog.
> 
> Mae'r galw am wasanaethau gofal mewn argyfwng yn parhau i fod yn sylweddol; mae'r gwasanaeth ambiwlans bellach yn delio â thua 80 y cant yn fwy o alwadau coch y dydd nag yr oedd cyn y pandemig. Y nifer cyfartalog o alwadau coch y dydd a wnaed ym mis Tachwedd oedd y trydydd uchaf erioed.
> 
> Er hyn, cafodd 75 y cant o'r galwadau ymateb o fewn 13 munud. Yn ogystal, bu cynnydd o'r mis diwethaf yng nghyfran y galwadau coch yr ymatebwyd iddynt o fewn y targed 8 munud.
> 
> Mae pobl hefyd yn cael eu gweld yn gyflymach pan fyddan nhw'n cyrraedd adrannau achosion brys; mae'r amser cyfartalog rhwng brysbennu a chyrraedd wedi'i leihau i 18 munud, yr isaf ers mis Mawrth 2021\. Gwnaeth perfformiad hefyd wella yn erbyn y targed pedair awr a'r targed deuddeg awr ar gyfer adrannau achosion brys.
> 
> Rydym wedi dysgu o'r gaeaf diwethaf a rhoi nifer o fesurau ar waith i atgyfnerthu eleni. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys 119 yn fwy o staff ambiwlans na'r llynedd, a mwy o staff ar gael i ymateb i alwadau i wasanaeth GIG 111 Cymru – sy'n parhau i helpu degau o filoedd o bobl i gael cyngor iechyd brys, ar\-lein a dros y ffôn, 24 awr y dydd saith diwrnod yr wythnos.
> 
> Mae miloedd o bobl y mis hefyd yn cael gofal yn y gymuned ac i ffwrdd o Adrannau Achosion Brys, mewn Canolfannau Gofal Sylfaenol Brys a Gwasanaethau Gofal Argyfwng yr Un Diwrnod. Mae nifer y bobl sy'n cael ymgyngoriadau ar gyfer anhwylderau cyffredin drwy dimau fferylliaeth gymunedol hefyd wedi cynyddu bum gwaith.
> 
> Mae'n siomedig gweld rhestrau aros cyffredinol yn cyrraedd eu lefelau uchaf ers dechrau cadw cofnodion. Mae hynny oherwydd nifer y bobl sy'n ymuno â'r rhestrau aros. Ond dros y 12 mis diwethaf, nid yw rhestrau aros yng Nghymru ond wedi cynyddu 1 y cant o gymharu â 7 y cant yn Lloegr.

Minister for Health and Social Services, Eluned Morgan said:


> Every day our heroic NHS staff provide a quality service under record levels of demand.
> 
> I’m pleased to see that despite increasing high levels of demand for our cancer services, performance against the cancer target has increased this month to 56 per cent, alongside a record number of people being told they did not have cancer in October.
> 
> Nearly 2,000 people started treatment for cancer this month, an increase of 8 per cent compared to the same month last year and the second highest figure on record.
> 
> We have placed a clear focus on tackling both those patients with an urgent need and those that have waited the longest. We have continued to see the number of patients waiting over two years fall – down by 64 per cent since its peak.
> 
> I previously tasked health boards with ensuring 97 per cent of those waiting at the end of December 2023 will be waiting less than 104 weeks. We were extremely close to achieving that in October (96\.6 per cent) with four health boards already having achieved that target.
> 
> Over the last 3 years we have reduced the average wait time for planned care patients by a third, with the median wait now stable at around 20 weeks.
> 
> Demand for emergency care services remains significant, with the ambulance service now dealing with around 80 per cent more red calls daily than they did before the pandemic. The average number of daily red calls made in November was the third highest on record.
> 
> Despite this, 75 per cent of these calls received a response within 13 minutes. And we saw an increase from last month in the proportion of red calls being responded to within the 8 minute target.
> 
> People are also being seen quicker when they arrive at emergency departments with the average time to triage from arrival down to 18 minutes, the lowest it has been since March 2021\. Performance also improved against the four\-hour target and the twelve hour target for emergency departments.
> 
> We have built on learning from last winter and put in place a number of measures to increase our resilience this year. These include 119 more ambulance staff than last year, and more staff available to respond to calls to the NHS 111 Wales service – which continues to help tens of thousands of people to receive urgent health advice, both online and over the telephone, 24 hours a day seven days a week.
> 
> Thousands of people a month are also accessing care in the community and away from Emergency Departments, at Urgent Primary Care Centres and Same Day Emergency Care Services. The number of people accessing consultations for common ailments via community pharmacy teams has also increased fivefold.
> 
> It’s disappointing to see overall waiting lists reaching their highest levels on record. That is due to the number of people joining the waiting lists. But over the last 12 months waiting lists in Wales have only increased by 1 per cent compared to 7 per cent in England.
