Mae gan y GIG a'r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol rôl bwysig iawn i'w chwarae wrth ymateb i anghenion iechyd meddwl newidiol ein cymunedau, ond mae wedi dod yn amlwg mai mewn meysydd y tu allan i iechyd y mae angen i ni gryfhau gwasanaethau – er enghraifft, cymorth cyflogaeth, atal digartrefedd a chymorth dyledion. Dim ond drwy ddull trawslywodraethol ac amlasiantaethol effeithiol y gellir cyflawni hyn. Mae’r Gweinidog Iechyd wedi ysgrifennu at holl Weinidogion y Cabinet i dynnu sylw at y dystiolaeth sy'n sail i'r dull hwn ac mae swyddogion wedi bod yn gweithio ar draws adrannau i gryfhau camau gweithredu i ymateb i'r niwed economaidd-gymdeithasol ehangach a'r niwed arall i’r gymdeithas.
The NHS and social services have a very important role to play in responding to the changing mental health needs of our communities, it has become clear the areas we need to strengthen lie in areas outside health – for example, employment support, homelessness prevention and debt support. This can only be achieved through an effective cross-government and multi-agency approach. The Health Minister has written to all Cabinet Ministers to highlight the evidence underpinning this approach and officials have been working across departments to strengthen actions to respond to the wider socioeconomic and other societal harms.
