Rwyf wedi cyfarwyddo Gwaed a Thrawsblaniadau’r GIG i weithredu profion HHV-8 ar bob rhoddwr organau sydd wedi marw. Bydd y costau sy’n gysylltiedig â chyflwyno’r profion hyn yn cael eu talu o’i ddyraniad cyllid. Rwy’n disgwyl i brofion gael eu cyflwyno cyn gynted ag sy’n ymarferol bosibl, ac rwy’n deall bod gwaith paratoi wedi dechrau eisoes yn y cyswllt hwnnw.
I have instructed NHS Blood and Transplant to implement HHV-8 testing on all deceased organ donors. The costs associated with the introduction of this testing will be met from within its funding allocation. I expect testing to be introduced as soon as practically possible and understand preparatory work has already started.
