Mae angen gwella’r ymwybyddiaeth gyffredinol bod modd i bobl sy’n dioddef o niwed sy’n gysylltiedig â gamblo fynd i weld eu meddyg teulu am gyngor ac argymhellion i gael cymorth priodol, ac felly hefyd gwybodaeth ymhlith darparwyr gofal sylfaenol bod gwasanaethau cymorth o’r fath ar gael. Mae trafodaethau’n cael eu cynnal ag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru ynglŷn â sut y gellid integreiddio gamblo cyhoeddus mewn hyfforddiant ymyriadau byr ar gyfer gweithwyr gofal sylfaenol yng Nghymru. Byddwn hefyd yn gweithio â’r trydydd sector i roi sylw i leoliad ac argaeledd gwasanaethau triniaethau pwrpasol ar gyfer gamblwyr problemus. Ym mis Ionawr, bydd Llywodraeth Cymru’n cynnal trafodaeth ar y cyd â’r Comisiwn Gamblo i ddod â rhanddeiliaid allweddol at ei gilydd i ystyried y mater hwn yn ogystal â meddwl am gamau gweithredu y gall Lywodraeth Cymru a’r Comisiwn Gamblo eu cymryd yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol.
General awareness that people suffering from gambling-related harm can consult their GP for advice and recommendations for appropriate support needs to be improved as does knowledge among primary care providers that such support services exist. Discussions are ongoing with PHW as to how problem gambling can be integrated into brief intervention training for primary care workers in Wales. We will also work with the third sector to address the location and availability of dedicated treatment services for problem gamblers. In January, the Welsh Government will co-host a roundtable discussion with the Gambling Commission to bring together key stakeholders to consider this issue as well as inform future action by both the Welsh Government and the Gambling Commission in Wales.
