Disgwyliaf i bob un o'n Byrddau Iechyd ymgysylltu'n llawn â'u cymunedau a'u rhanddeiliad lleol cyn i'w cynigion terfynol gael eu cyhoeddi.  Rôl y Fforwm fydd rhoi sicrwydd bod unrhyw drefniadau newydd yn ddiogel o safbwynt clinigol a'u bod yn diwallu anghenion pobl leol.  Fel yr wyf wedi dweud o'r blaen, mae gan ein Cynghorau Iechyd Cymunedol rôl allweddol i'w chware i sicrhau'r drafodaeth ehangaf posibl â chymunedau lleol o fewn y prosesau agored a chydweithredol a bennir gan Fyrddau Iechyd Lleol.
I expect all Health Boards to engage fully with their local communities and stakeholders before their final proposals are published.  The role of the NCF will be to provide assurance that any new arrangements are clinically safe and meet the needs of local people.  As I have said before, our Community Health Councils have a key role to play in ensuring the widest possible debate with local communities within the open and collaborative processes set by Local Health Boards.
