Nodwyd bod gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl yn wasanaethau GIG hanfodol ac er nad oedd rhai clinigau’n gallu gweithredu yn ystod y cyfyngiadau symud, ceisiwyd sicrwydd bod asesiadau dementia brys wedi cael eu cynnal a’u bod yn parhau i fod ar gael. Wrth i wasanaethau rheolaidd gael eu darparu dros fisoedd yr haf, mae staff ychwanegol ac asesiadau o bell wedi’u defnyddio lle bo'n briodol i reoli amseroedd aros.
Mental health services were classed as essential NHS services and while some clinics were not able to operate during lockdown, we sought assurances that urgent dementia assessments have been undertaken and remained operational. As more routine services have become available over the summer months, additional staff have been deployed and remote assessments used, where appropriate, to manage waiting times.
