Yn y gwanwyn, sefydlwyd 19 o ysbytai maes o amgylch Cymru mewn cyfnod o ychydig wythnosau i ddarparu miloedd o welyau ysbyty ychwanegol ar gyfer y cynnydd sylweddol a ragwelwyd mewn derbyniadau i’r ysbyty ar gyfer cleifion a oedd yn dioddef o’r feirws. Nodwyd miloedd o welyau hefyd yn ysbytai presennol y GIG a safleoedd ysbyty annibynnol eraill rhag ofn y byddai’r senario achos gwaethaf rhesymol yn cael ei wireddu. Darparwyd ar gyfer cyfanswm o tua 10,000 o welyau ysbyty ychwanegol, sy’n destament i allu’r GIG, a’n partneriaid yn yr Awdurdodau Lleol, y sector annibynnol, y sector preifat a’r lluoedd arfog a weithiodd ddydd a nos i gyflawni ar gyfer pobl Cymru.
In the spring, 19 field hospitals were established around Wales in a matter of weeks to provide thousands of additional beds for a significant predicted increase in hospital admissions for patients suffering from the virus. Thousands of beds were also identified across existing NHS and independent hospital sites in the event of a reasonable worst case scenario. In total provision was made for around 10,000 additional beds, a testament to the capability of NHS, Local Authority, independent sector, private sector and military partners who worked round the clock to deliver for the people of Wales.
