Mae’r adroddiad hwn wedi peri tristwch mawr i mi. Mae’n amhosibl dirnad y gofid y bydd yn ei achosi i deuluoedd a effeithiwyd yn uniongyrchol gan y methiannau hyn. Rwyf hefyd yn ymwybodol y bydd teuluoedd sy'n derbyn gofal yn yr ysbytai ar hyn o bryd yn teimlo’n bryderus, ar adeg mor bwysig yn eu bywydau a ddylai fod yn destun llawenydd. Rwy'n disgwyl i'r bwrdd iechyd gymryd pob cam angenrheidiol i dawelu meddyliau menywod y byddan nhw a'u babanod yn cael gofal o ansawdd da. Bydd y canfyddiadau hefyd, rwy'n siŵr, yn anodd ac yn peri gofid i staff sy'n gweithio o fewn y gwasanaeth. Mae'r adroddiad hwn yn cydnabod y pwysau eithafol oedd arnynt wrth eu gwaith.
The findings of this review are serious and concerning. There are a significant number of recommendations for improvement. Crucially, the review is supported by a report which focuses on what women and families had to say about their experiences of maternity care in Cwm Taf. While there was feedback that reflected individual good practice and praise for individual staff working in difficult circumstances, overwhelmingly those who contributed spoke about distressing experiences and poor care. I would like to extend my thanks to the families who took part in this process. I understand that this will have been very difficult for many of those involved. It is vitally important that the action taken as a result of this work is informed and guided by those women and families who feel their voices were not listened to at such an important time in their lives.
