Rwy’n llawn sylweddoli pa mor heriol yw newid llwybr gofal hirsefydlog, a sicrhau bod pawb yn hapus gyda newid system gyfan, yn arbennig ynghanol pandemig; ond mae llawer o bethau sydd heb eu gwneud yn dda, ac nid oes esgus dros hyn. Rwyf hefyd yn sicr nad yw’r siarad negyddol cyhoeddus diddiwedd wedi helpu, ac mae hyn wedi taflu cysgod ar unrhyw effeithiau cadarnhaol sydd wedi codi yn sgil ad-drefnu’r gwasanaeth, ac o bosibl wedi effeithio ar forâl staff. Cafodd hyn ei nodi yn adroddiad cyntaf yr RCS.
I do not underestimate how challenging it must be to alter long-standing care pathways and to get everyone on board with a system-wide change in particular in the middle of a pandemic; but there are many things which have not been done well and there should be no excuses for this. I am also sure the situation has not been helped by relentlessly negative public discourse which has overshadowed any positive impacts of the service reconfiguration and had the potential to impact on staff morale. This is something that was noted in the first RCS report.
