Yn dilyn sylwadau gan aelodau lleol, clinigwyr a chynrychiolwyr cymunedol, cyhoeddais ddatganiad ar 24 Ionawr yn nodi fy mwriad i gomisiynu Athrofa Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru (WIHSC) i gynnal astudiaeth annibynnol o’r materion a’r cyfleoedd ar gyfer darparu gwasanaethau iechyd hygyrch, diogel a chynaliadwy o ansawdd uchel, sy’n gwbl addas at anghenion penodol y bobl sy’n byw yn y Canolbarth. Roedd y datganiad yn amlinellu Cylch Gwaith ac yn rhoi manylion fy nghais i WIHSC wrando ar farn pob math o randdeiliaid er mwyn cwblhau manylion terfynol yr astudiaeth dros gyfnod o 3-4 wythnos.
Following representations from local members, clinicians and community representatives, I issued a statement on the 24 January setting out my intention to commission the Welsh Institute for Health and Social Care (WIHSC) to carry out an independent study of the issues and opportunities for providing accessible, high quality, safe and sustainable health services, which are best suited to the specific needs of people living in Mid Wales.  The statement included outline Terms of Reference and detailed my request for WIHSC to take soundings from a range of key stakeholders in order to conclude final details of the study over a 3 – 4 week period.
