Ym mis Medi 2020, rhoddais yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau am gynlluniau Byrddau Iechyd i gadw dros 5000 o welyau ychwanegol ar gyfer gweddill 2020/2021, a oedd yn cynnwys cadw un ar ddeg o ysbytai maes. Ers hynny mae pump o'r ysbytai maes hyn wedi agor i gleifion tra bod y chwech arall wedi cael eu defnyddio'n weithredol i gefnogi’r ymateb i COVID-19 mewn ffyrdd eraill. Maent wedi darparu mannau ychwanegol hanfodol fel canolfannau brechu, canolfannau profi a chyfleusterau hyfforddi.
In September 2020, I updated Members on Health Board plans to retain over 5000 additional beds for the rest of 2020/2021 which incorporated retention of eleven field hospitals. Five of these field hospitals have since opened for patients whilst the other six have been actively utilised to support the Covid-19 response in other ways. They have provided essential additional space as vaccination centres, testing hubs and training facilities.
