Yn y strategaeth Cymru Iachach gwnaethpwyd ymrwymiad i ddatblygu Cynllun Clinigol Cenedlaethol. Y bwriad oedd nodi sut y dylid darparu gwasanaethau arbenigol a gwasanaethau ysbyty, a’r sgiliau a thechnolegau sydd eu hangen i’w cefnogi fel rhan o’r cynnig iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol ehangach. Yn ystod ei ddatblygiad mae wedi’i ailenwi yn Fframwaith Clinigol Cenedlaethol ac wedi’i ehangu i fod yn berthnasol i’r holl wasanaethau clinigol, boed yn arbenigol neu’n gyffredinol.
A Healthier Wales committed to the development of a National Clinical Plan. It was intended to set out how specialist services and hospital-based services should be provided, and the skills and technologies needed to support them, as part of the broader health and social care offer. In its development is has been reframed as a National Clinical Framework and broadened to cover all clinical services, whether specialist or generalist.
