Mae diagnosis a chofnodi  amserol a chywir ar gyfer dementia yn hanfodol i ddarparu'r gofal a'r cymorth cywir. Mae'r canllawiau ar y codau Read, sy'n helpu i gofnodi gwahanol is-fathau o ddementia, wedi'u hailgyhoeddi a bydd hyn yn hwyluso'r gwaith o ddarparu gwasanaethau sy'n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn, gan ymateb i anghenion unigol. Yn ogystal â'r £9m y cyfeirir ato uchod, mae buddsoddiad cylchol pellach o £3m wedi’i ddyrannu bellach i’r Byrddau Partneriaeth Rhanbarthol i gefnogi pobl yn ystod y broses asesu. Bydd hyn yn mynd i'r afael â heriau'r pandemig a wynebir gan y byrddau iechyd, gan gynnwys darparu gwasanaethau asesu’r cof, lle’r ydym wedi gweld amseroedd aros am ddiagnosis hirach na 12 wythnos mewn rhai byrddau iechyd.  Mae swyddogion yn gweithio gyda’r byrddau iechyd i sicrhau eu bod yn defnyddio'r adnoddau ychwanegol hyn yn effeithiol, ac i fonitro eu heffaith.
Timely and accurate dementia diagnosis and recording is crucial to provision of the right care and support. The ‘Read codes’ guidance, which supports the recording of different sub-types of dementia, has been reissued and will facilitate the delivery of person centred services, responding to individual needs. In addition to the £9m referenced above a further £3m recurring investment has now been allocated to RPBs to support people during the assessment process. This will address the challenges of the pandemic faced by health boards, including the delivery of memory assessment services where in some health boards we have seen diagnosis waits of over 12 weeks.  Officials are working with health boards to ensure they use these extra resources effectively and to monitor impact.
