EIN BYWYDAU AR STOP 2023: CORFF GWARCHOD IECHYD YN HOLI AM BROFIADAU

Yn 2018, cyhoeddodd corff gwarchod gwasanaethau iechyd annibynnol Gogledd Cymru – Cyngor Iechyd Cymuned Gogledd Cymru (CICGC) – arolwg ar yr effeithiau ar gleifion yn sgil cyfnodau aros hir am lawdriniaethau. Disgrifiodd yr adroddiad ‘Ein Bywydau ar Stop’ y gost i bobl a ddaw o amseroedd aros hir a chyfrannodd at y pwysau ar Lywodraeth Cymru i ariannu mentrau rhestrau aros i leihau amseroedd aros.

Meddai Mr Geoff Ryall-Harvey, Prif Swyddog CICGC, ‘Clywsom am bobl mewn poen cronig, a chlywsom gan y rhai hynny a oedd wedi colli swyddi o ganlyniad i fethu gweithio. Dywedodd pobl wrthym am straen ar eu perthynas ag anwyliaid, a methu cymryd rhan ym mywyd teuluol, edrych ar ôl wyrion neu fynd ar wyliau.’

‘O ganlyniad i’r pandemig, mae’r nifer o bobl sy’n aros mwy na 52 wythnos wedi cynyddu’n aruthrol. Mae CICGC am glywed sut mae hyn yn effeithio ar fywydau a llesiant, er mwyn inni allu datblygu’r achos dros adnoddau ychwanegol i glirio’r rhestrau aros hyn a dychwelyd i amseroedd aros fel yr oeddent cyn y pandemig (a gobeithio gwella arnynt) o fewn dwy flynedd.

Aeth Mr Ryall-Harvey ymlaen i ddweud ‘bydd CICGC yn cynnal digwyddiadau wyneb yn wyneb ac ar-lein, gan wahodd cleifion, eu gofalwyr a’u teuluoedd i siarad am eu profiadau o aros am lawdriniaethau. Bydd cyfleoedd hefyd i wneud sylw drwy e-bost, ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol ac ar y ffôn.

OUR LIVES ON HOLD 2023:  HEALTH WATCHDOG SEEKS EXPERIENCES

In 2018 the independent health services watchdog for North Wales – the North Wales Community Health Council (NWCHC) – published a survey of the effects on patients of long waits for operations. The report, ‘Our Lives on Hold’ described the human cost of long waiting times and contributed to the pressure on Welsh Government to fund waiting list initiatives to reduce waiting times.

Mr Geoff Ryall-Harvey, Chief Officer for NWCHC said ‘We heard of people in chronic pain and from those who had lost jobs to their inability to work. People told us about damaged relationships and being unable to participate in family life, looking after grandchildren or going on holiday.’

‘As a result of the pandemic, the number of people waiting over 52 weeks has increased dramatically. The NWCHC wants to hear how this is affecting lives and well-being so that we can build the case for additional resources to clear these waiting lists and return to pre-pandemic waiting times (and hopefully  better) within two years.

Mr Ryall-Harvey went on to say ‘NWCHC will be holding face to face and online events, inviting patients, their carers and their families to talk about their experiences of waiting for operations. There will also be opportunities to comment through e-mail, social media and telephone.

The events will take place on
