Rydym yn awyddus i weld gwersi’n cael eu dysgu o brofiad cleifion yng Nghymru a’u teuluoedd. Rwyf wedi gofyn i’r Athro y Farwnes Finlay o Landaf, cyn arweinydd clinigol ar gyfer gofal lliniarol Cymru a chadeirydd presennol Fforwm Galluedd Meddyliol Cenedlaethol Cymru a Lloegr arwain adolygiad o’r penderfyniad mewn achos penodol sydd wedi cael ei ddwyn i’m sylw. Bydd gweithiwr cymdeithasol cofrestredig, Rachel Griffiths MBE, sydd â dealltwriaeth dda o’r ffordd yr oedd penderfyniadau’n cael eu gwneud cyn Deddf Galluedd Meddyliol 2005, , ac wedi hynny, ynghyd â bargyfreithiwr sydd wedi ymddeol, Gerard Elias CBE QC, yn cefnogi’r Athro Finlay.
We are keen that lessons be learnt from the experiences of Welsh patients and their families. I have asked Professor Baroness Finlay of Llandaff, former clinical palliative care lead for Wales and current chair of the National Mental Capacity Forum for England and Wales to lead a review of decision making within a case which has been drawn to my attention. Professor Finlay will be supported by a registered social worker, Rachel Griffiths MBE, who has a good understanding of the way decisions were taken prior to and since the Mental Capacity Act 2005; and a retired barrister, Gerard Elias CBE QC.
