Yn gynharach eleni, cyhoeddais £500k ychwanegol i helpu i roi camau ar waith i atal hunanladdiad. Mae'r buddsoddiad hwn yn adeiladu ar ein gwaith i weithredu ein strategaeth atal hunanladdiad a hunan-niwed -Siarad â Fi 2.Mae'n seiliedig ar ein strategaeth ehangach a'n buddsoddiad i wella gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl. Eleni yn unig, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cynyddu'r cyllid o ryw £35 miliwn, rhywfaint ohono wedi'i dargedu i gefnogi meysydd blaenoriaeth allweddol gan gynnwys gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl amenedigol yn y gymuned, gwasanaethau y tu allan i oriau ac argyfwng, a gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl plant. Rydym yn parhau i wario mwy ar wasanaethau iechyd meddwl nag ar unrhyw ran arall o'r GIG, gyda'r cyllid sydd wedi'i glustnodi ar gyfer iechyd meddwl bellach yn £679 miliwn.
Earlier this year I announced an additional £500k to support the implementation of actions to prevent suicide. This investment builds on our work to implementTalk to me 2 –our suicide and self-harm strategy. This is underpinned by our broader strategy and investment to improve mental health services. This year alone Welsh Government has increased funding by £35million, some of which has been targeted to support key priority areas including perinatal community mental health services, out of hour and crisis services, and children’s mental health services. We continue to spend more on mental health services than on any other part of the NHS with the mental health ring-fence now being £679million.
