A Court of Protection judgment was published \[today] about a Welsh person in a permanent vegetative state who had been receiving life sustaining treatment for some years. This person has now passed away after the Court of Protection gave permission for treatment to be withdrawn.  

  

Members may also be aware of other recent court judgments relating to the need for legal proceedings in every case before life\-supporting treatment is withdrawn from persons in permanent vegetative or minimally conscious states. In September of this year, the Court of Protection in a significant judgment concluded that a decision to withdraw clinically assisted nutrition and hydration taken by clinicians in accordance with the prevailing professional guidance and the relevant statutory frameworks will be lawful. Although, the court was keen to emphasise that it is always available where there is disagreement, or where it is felt for some other reason that an application to court should be made.  

  

These are complex, sensitive and important issues and the Welsh Government is monitoring further developments closely. In the meantime, I want to be assured that those working in the health and care sector here in Wales are fully equipped to deal with such issues should they be faced with them. We are therefore taking a number of actions to understand the current position in Wales in relation to people who are in a pemanent vegetative or minimally conscious state. This includes the Chief Medical Officer writing to all health boards in Wales to assess the potential number of cases in Wales and to seek assurance that their diagnosis, care and treatment is being undertaken in their best interests.  

  

The Deputy Chief Medical Officer has met with family members of the individual that \[today’s] ruling concerns. They are keen that lessons be learnt from their experience.  

  

  

We need to understand the decision making in this particular case and to work closely with all relevant parties to ensure that appropriate lessons are learnt.  

  

Given this individual case and the wider court judgments, I have also asked officials to consider, once the relevant consideration has concluded and in light of any further developments in this area, whether there is a need for any additional guidance, education or training to be developed for the health and social care sector in Wales.  

  

Out of respect for the family wishes, I have not provided full details of the case within this statement and I would urge everyone to respect their privacy.

Cyhoeddwyd dyfarniad gan y Llys Gwarchod \[heddiw] am Gymro a oedd mewn cyflwr diymateb parhaol ac a oedd yn cael triniaeth cynnal bywyd am lawer iawn o flynyddoedd. Mae'r person hwn bellach wedi marw, wedi i'r Llys Gwarchod ganiatáu i'r driniaeth gael ei thynnu'n ôl.  
  
Efallai bod aelodau hefyd yn ymwybodol o ddyfarniadau llys eraill a wnaed yn ddiweddar yn ymwneud â'r angen i gymryd camau cyfreithiol ym mhob achos, cyn bod triniaeth cynnal bywyd yn cael ei thynnu'n ôl wrth bobl sydd mewn cyflwr diymateb parhaol neu gyflwr lled\-anymwybodol. Fis Medi eleni, daeth y Llys Gwarchod i’r casgliad mewn dyfarniad pwysig y bydd penderfyniad i dynnu'n ôl maeth a hydradiad gyda chymorth clinigol, a wneir gan glinigwyr yn unol â'r canllawiau proffesiynol cyffredinol a’r fframweithiau statudol perthnasol, yn gyfreithlon. Ond roedd y llys yn awyddus i bwysleisio ei fod wastad ar gael pan fo anghytundebau yn codi, neu pan teimlir y dylid cyflwyno achos i’r llys am ryw reswm arall.   
  
Mae'r materion hyn yn gymhleth, yn sensitif ac yn bwysig, ac mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn monitro datblygiadau pellach yn agos. Yn y cyfamser, rwyf am fod yn sicr bod gan y rheini sy’n gweithio yn y sector iechyd a gofal yma yng Nghymru yr adnoddau angenrheidiol i ymdrin â materion o'r fath, pe baent yn gorfod eu hwynebu. Felly, rydym yn cymryd nifer o gamau i ddeall y sefyllfa bresennol yng Nghymru, mewn perthynas â phobl sydd mewn cyflwr diymateb parhaol neu gyflwr lled\-anymwybodol. Yn hyn o beth, bydd y Prif Swyddog Meddygol yn ysgrifennu at bob bwrdd iechyd yng Nghymru i asesu'r nifer posibl o achosion yng Nghymru a chael sicrwydd bod eu diagnosis, eu gofal a'u triniaeth er eu budd nhw eu hunain.  
  
Mae'r Dirprwy Brif Swyddog Meddygol wedi cwrdd â theulu'r unigolyn sydd dan sylw yn y dyfarniad \[heddiw] ac nid ydynt am dynnu sylw gormodol at eu sefyllfa. Ond maent yn awyddus bod gwersi'n cael eu dysgu o'u profiad.  
  
Mae angen i ni ddeall sut y gwnaethpwyd penderfyniadau yn yr achos penodol hwn a gweithio’n agos gyda’r bobl berthnasol i sicrhau bod gwersi priodol yn cael eu dysgu.  
  
Gan ystyried yr achos unigol hwn, a dyfarniadau llys yn  ehangach, rwyf hefyd wedi gofyn i swyddogion feddwl, ar ôl ystyried pob agwedd berthnasol ac yng ngoleuni unrhyw ddatblygiadau pellach yn y maes hwn, a oes angen rhagor o ganllawiau, addysg neu hyfforddiant ar y sector Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol yng Nghymru.  
  
Er parch i ddymuniadau'r teulu, nid wyf wedi rhoi manylion llawn yr achos gyda'r datganiad hwn, a byddwn yn annog pawb i barchu eu preifatrwydd.
