Yn gynharach eleni roeddem yn gwybod y byddai’r gaeaf yn heriol iawn, a dyna pam mae sefydliadau’r GIG ac awdurdodau lleol wedi bod yn cydweithio ers misoedd lawer i ddatblygu capasiti cymunedol ychwanegol i helpu pobl i gael gofal yn agosach at eu cartrefi y gaeaf hwn. Rydym wedi bod yn cyd-Gadeirio Grŵp Gweithredu ar Ofal o uwch arweinwyr y GIG a Llywodreath Leol i ysgogi cynnydd. O ganlyniad i’r ymdrech hon ar y cyd ar draws maes iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, bydd o leiaf 508 o welyau cymunedol a phecynnau gofal cartref ychwanegol ar gael. Bydd hyn yn cael effaith gadarnhaol ar ryddhau gwelyau ysbyty ym mhob rhan o Gymru.
Earlier this year we knew that the coming winter would be very challenging, and that is why NHS organisations and local authorities have been working together for many months to develop extra community capacity to help people get care closer to home this Winter.  We have been jointly chairing a Care Action Group of senior NHS and local government leaders to drive progress.  As a result of this joint endeavour across health and social care, a minimum of 508 extra community beds and home care packages will be available, and this will have a positive impact on releasing hospital beds in every part of Wales.
