Tynnodd yr Athro Palmer sylw hefyd at bwysigrwydd sicrhau bod gan fyrddau iechyd olwg glir o ansawdd gofal clinigol, a'u bod yn ffurfio barn amserol a phenodol sy'n seiliedig ar risg ynghylch ansawdd a diogelwch gwasanaethau.
Professor Palmer also highlighted the importance of health boards ensuring they have a clear line of sight to the quality of clinical care and making timely, explicit, risk-based judgements about the quality and safety of services.
