Heb wasanaethau proffesiynau perthynol i iechyd mewn cymunedau, mae’n bosib’ y caiff pobl eu derbyn i’r ysbyty pan ellid bod wedi’u trin gartref. Efallai hefyd na fydd modd rhyddhau pobl o’r ysbyty pan fydd eu triniaeth acíwt wedi dod i ben neu fe fyddan nhw’n symud i ofal preswyl neu ofal nyrsio yn gynharach nag y bydden nhw wedi’i wneud fel arall, gan gynyddu’r pwysau ar ein gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol. Bydd gwella mynediad at weithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd yn dod â gweithlu ehangach at ei gilydd mewn system gofal sylfaenol ddiwygiedig.
Without community AHP services, people may be admitted to hospital when they could have been treated at home, are unable to be discharged from hospital when their acute treatment is complete or end up moving to residential or nursing care earlier than might otherwise be the case, adding to other pressure on our social care services. Improving access to allied health professionals will bring a wider workforce together in a reformed primary care.
