Mewn cydweithrediad â GIG Cymru, awdurdodau lleol a phartneriaid eraill, rydym wedi dysgu gwersi o'r gaeafau diwethaf i wella prosesau cynllunio, ac ar ôl gwerthuso gaeaf 2017/18 mae mwy o gydnabyddiaeth bod angen arweiniad a chefnogaeth genedlaethol. Yn y cyd-destun hwn penderfynais ddarparu £35m o gyllid ychwanegol i gefnogi'r GIG a phartneriaid gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru yn gynharach yn y flwyddyn ariannol bresennol i sicrhau bod timau iechyd a gofal lleol mor barod â phosib ar gyfer y gaeaf.
In collaboration with NHS Wales, local authorities and partners, we have learned lessons from previous winters to improve planning processes, and following the evaluation of winter 2017/18, there is increased recognition of the need for national leadership and support.  It was in this context that I made the decision to provide additional funding of £35m to support the NHS and social care partners in Wales earlier this financial year to ensure local health and care teams are as prepared as they can be for the winter period.
