Mae cyfleoedd pellach i gryfhau ymateb a darpariaeth leol drwy neilltuo cyllid ychwanegol yn ystod y cam cynnar hwn o gyfnod y gaeaf. Rwyf felly wedi cytuno i ddarparu cyllid ychwanegol o hyd at £4m o fuddsoddiad newydd i GIG Cymru i gefnogi mentrau a fydd yn ychwanegu gwerth, gan wella profiad y claf, canlyniadau clinigol a llesiant staff drwy gydol y gaeaf. Bydd yr arian yn dod o gyllideb ganolog bresennol Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, ac yn golygu bod byrddau iechyd yn gweithio gyda Gwasanaeth Ambiwlans Cymru, Awdurdodau Lleol a phartneriaid trydydd sector i drin a gofalu i ateb y galw a’r angen cynyddol ar draws ein system.
There are further opportunities to strengthen local responsiveness and delivery by allocating additional funding at this early stage of the winter period.  I have, therefore, agreed to provide additional funding of up to £4m of new investment to NHS Wales to support initiatives which will add value, improve patient experience, clinical outcomes and staff well-being through this winter.  The money will come from the existing central Health and Social Services budget and will see health boards working with the Welsh Ambulance Service, and Local Authority and third sector partners to treat and care for the increased demand and need across our system.
