Rwy’n cydnabod y camau gwahanol sy’n cael eu cymryd a’r gwaith sy’n mynd rhagddo o fewn y Bwrdd Iechyd ac yn benodol y camau y mae’n eu rhoi yn eu lle i sicrhau bod y gwasanaethau’n cael eu cefnogi ar unwaith. O ystyried difrifoldeb y sefyllfa, rwy wedi penderfynu y dylai Llywodraeth Cymru gomisiynu adolygiad allanol annibynnol. Felly, rwy wedi gofyn i Brif Swyddog Meddygol Cymru a Phrif Swyddog Nyrsio Cymru gysylltu'n uniongyrchol â Choleg Brenhinol yr Obstetryddion a'r Gynaecolegwyr a Choleg Brenhinol y Bydwragedd i ofyn iddynt gychwyn a chynnal adolygiad llawn o'r hyn sydd wedi digwydd a pha gamau y mae’n rhaid eu cymryd er mwyn sicrhau bod y gwasanaethau mor ddiogel â phosibl, a hynny cyn gynted â phosibl.
I recognise the range of actions and activities being undertaken within the Health Board and specifically those actions it is putting in place to ensure services are supported with immediate effect.  Given the seriousness of this situation, I have decided that an  independent external review should be commissioned by the Welsh Government. I have therefore asked the Chief Medical and Nursing Officers for Wales to contact directly the Royal Colleges of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Midwifery to request they instigate and undertake a full review of what has happened and what now needs to happen to ensure these services are as safe as possible as quickly as possible.
