Buom yn cydweithio’n agos â’r byrddau iechyd a’n partneriaid i ddatblygu cynlluniau ar gyfer tymor y gaeaf, gan fuddsoddi £60 miliwn o arian ychwanegol i ddarparu gofal brys ac i sicrhau bod modd i ofal oedd wedi’i drefnu fynd rhagddo. Er gwaethaf y pwysau cynyddol, cafwyd gostyngiad ddiwedd mis Rhagfyr yn nifer y bobl fu’n disgwyl am fwy na 36 wythnos i gael triniaeth, ac rydym yn disgwyl gweld amseroedd aros yn gostwng rhwng hyn a diwedd mis Mawrth. Cafodd mwy o gleifion canser eu trin o fewn yr amser targed rhwng Ionawr a Rhagfyr 2017 nag mewn unrhyw flwyddyn flaenorol.
We have worked closely with health boards and partners to develop plans for the winter period, and invested an extra £60m to deliver emergency care and ensure planned care can continue. Despite increased pressure, the number of people having to wait more than 36 weeks for treatment actually decreased at the end of December and we expect to see reductions in waiting times up to the end of March. More cancer patients were treated within the target time in January to December 2017 than in any previous year.
