Gwelwyd ychydig yn fwy o bobl yn dechrau eu triniaeth canser ym mis Awst (1,691) nag yn y mis blaenorol. Caewyd cyfanswm o 13,534 o lwybrau ar ôl i’r claf gael gwybod nad oedd ganddo ganser, sy’n gynnydd o fwy na 12% o’i gymharu â’r mis blaenorol a’r lefel uchaf a gofnodwyd. Mae llawer iawn o waith, ffocws, buddsoddiad a newidiadau i wasanaethau ar y gweill i leihau nifer y bobl sy’n aros am driniaeth canser. Yn ddiweddar, cynhaliodd y Gweinidog Iechyd gyfarfod gyda byrddau iechyd ac ymddiriedolaethau i glywed eu cynlluniau ynglŷn â sut y maent yn gweithio i leihau’r rhestrau aros.
We saw slightly more people start their cancer treatment in August (1,691) than in the previous month. A total of 13,534 pathways were closed following the patient being informed they did not have cancer, an increase of more than 12% on the previous month and the highest level on record. A huge amount of work, focus, investment and service change is under way in reducing the number of people waiting for cancer treatment and the Health Minister recently met with health boards and trusts to hear their plans about how they are working to bring the waiting lists down.
