“Mae gan Dr Atherton brofiad helaeth o weithio ar lefel uchel ym maes iechyd y cyhoedd yn y Deyrnas Unedig a thramor ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at gydweithio ag ef. Rwy’n falch iawn ei fod wedi ymuno â ni wrth inni weithio i wella iechyd a llesiant a hoffwn estyn croeso cynnes iddo i Gymru.”
“Dr Atherton has a great deal of experience working at a senior level in public health in the UK and overseas and I look forward to working with him.  I’m delighted he has joined us as we work to improve health and well-being and I’d like to offer him a warm welcome to Wales.”
