Fodd bynnag, rwyf wedi penderfynu am y tro y dylai cynghorau iechyd cymuned gadw eu pŵer atgyfeirio, ac y dylid ei gryfhau drwy’r swyddogaethau newydd a gynigir ar gyfer y Bwrdd Cynghorau Iechyd Cymuned fel rhan o’r gwaith sy’n mynd rhagddo i roi argymhellion adolygiad Marcus Longley yn 2012 ar waith (gweler isod). Mae dyfarniadau diweddar yr Uchel Lys ynghylch cynlluniau newid gwasanaethau Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda wedi bod yn galonogol dros ben i mi, lle barnwyd fod pob agwedd a gweithdrefn a fabwysiadwyd gan y bwrdd iechyd a Gweinidogion Cymru yn deg ac yn gyfreithlon.
For the time being, however, I have decided that CHCs’ power of referral should remain, strengthened by the new functions proposed for the Board of CHCs as part of the ongoing implementation of the recommendations of the Marcus Longley review in 2012 (see below). I have been greatly encouraged by recent High Court rulings in relation to the Hywel Dda University Health Board service change plans, which have consistently found that all aspects and procedures adopted by the health board and Welsh Ministers were both fair and lawful.
