Mae cysylltiad clir rhwng y materion a glustnodwyd sy'n ymwneud â darparu gwasanaethau gofal critigol a'r materion yr wyf eisoes wedi tynnu sylw atynt sy'n effeithio ar ofal heb ei drefnu.  Fel y soniais yn fy natganiad llafar i'r Cynulliad ar ofal heb ei drefnu, rwy'n credu bod angen i ni yn y wlad hon gael trafodaeth am y ffordd y gall ein gwasanaethau gofal ddiwallu orau anghenion poblogaeth sy'n heneiddio. Nid yw gofal critigol yn adnodd diderfyn, felly rhaid ei ddefnyddio ar gyfer y rhai sydd ei angen, ar yr adeg y mae arnynt ei angen.  Nid yw gofal critigol yn briodol i bob claf, felly mae'n rhaid i ni helpu cleifion a chlinigwyr i gael trafodaethau agored a gonest am gynyddu triniaeth, priodoldeb gofal critigol a marwolaeth.
There are clear parallels to be drawn between the issues identified relating to the provision of critical care services and the issues which I have previously highlighted affecting unscheduled care.  As I stated in my oral statement to the Assembly on unscheduled care, I believe we need a new national conversation about the way in which our care services best meet the needs of an ageing population. Critical care will always be a finite resource and must be used for those who need it, when they need it.  Critical care is not appropriate for all patients, so we must support patients and clinicians to have open and honest conversations about escalation of treatment, appropriateness of critical care and the anticipation of death.
