Calling all Pembrokeshire residents – your NHS services need to change and now is the time to make your voices heard / Trigolion Sir Benfro – mae angen gwneud newidiadau i’ch gwasanaethau GIG, a dyma eich cyfle i ddweud eich dweud

 

Residents in Pembrokeshire and the surrounding area are being invited to two public drop-in events to discuss our proposals to fundamentally change the way we provide healthcare services for current and future generations.

 

The events will be held between 2pm-7pm at Regency Hall, Saundersfoot SA69 9NG on Friday 11 May 2018, and from 2pm-7pm at Letterston Memorial Hall, Letterston SA62 5RY on Tuesday 15 May 2018.  This is your opportunity to tell us what you think about our proposals or to give us new ideas.

 

Hywel Dda University Health Board has formally launched its “Big NHS Change,” a 12-week consultation aimed at making provision of local health and care better for our communities.

 

We’re asking residents across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, as well as the wider cross-border regions, to get involved and have your say on three proposals to improve the way we provide care for our population. Each proposal has been designed and tested by our clinicians to ensure that our services are safe, sustainable, accessible and kind for our generation and those to come.

 

Hywel Dda Chief Executive Steve Moore said: “Our proposals for change could affect everyone in our area, from bumps and babies to older people and everyone in between, so we are asking you all to tell us what you think. Whether you are a patient, a carer, a family member, or one of the thousands of people who work for the Health Board – we want to hear from you.

 

“Last year we started a conversation with our population, our staff and with people we work with to provide care to explore what is important to us and to jointly think about how to best run services. We did this because we think it is the right thing to do to design our services together. We explored the opportunities we think are offered to us through modern medicine and advancements in technology and the expectations you have for us to improve.

 

“We also set out the significant challenges faced by the NHS which we must deal with to ensure it thrives and delivers for you and your family now and in the future. This means that we will have to make decisions about where we can provide services and know that there are going to be compromises to make, so that we make best use of our resources.”

 

Among the biggest challenges the health board currently faces are an ageing population, difficulty for many people in accessing services close to home, significant recruitment challenges – particularly specialist medical staff – and ageing hospital buildings which require a lot of maintenance to keep running.

 

To overcome these we want to radically change the way we provide local health care services so that people are accessing most of the care and treatment they need in their local community, and are able to stay at home while they are getting treatment rather than having to go into hospital.

 

Reducing the number of main hospitals will mean having fewer medical rotas to fill, making it easier to attract clinicians to come and work for us; it will also mean shorter waiting times and fewer cancellations, and more money for local and community health services.

 

In all three of the proposals, Bronglais District General Hospital will continue to provide services for mid Wales; a new major hospital will be built somewhere between Narberth and St Clears, and there will be 10 community hubs across the Health Board area.

 

The proposals are:

 

Proposal A

 

*     A new urgent care and planned care hospital between Narberth and St Clears

*     Community hospitals in Glangwili, Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli and Withybush

*     A general hospital in Aberystwyth on the Bronglais Hospital site

 

 

Proposal B

 

*     A new urgent care and planned care hospital between Narberth and St Clears

*     Community hospitals in Glangwili and Withybush

*     General hospitals at Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli and Aberystwyth on the Bronglais Hospital site

 

 

 

Proposal C

 

*     A new urgent care hospital between Narberth and St Clears

*     A planned care hospital on Glangwili site

*     A community hospital in Withybush

*     General hospitals at Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli and Aberystwyth on the Bronglais Hospital site

 

 

 

Hywel Dda’s Executive Medical Director & Director of Clinical Strategy, Dr Phil Kloer, added: “The challenges we face are really significant.  People are living longer, some with long lasting health conditions, and we expect there to be many more older people who will need regular health care and social care.

 

“In our area some people live in towns and some in country areas, making it difficult for us to ensure that services are in the right place for people to access.  Many people live a long way from services, so helping people to live at home while they have treatment can involve a lot of travel for health workers.

 

“We know that people want to be supported to manage their health in their own homes – about 4 out of every 10 hospital beds are filled by people who could be treated at home. Added to this is the fact that we’re finding it hard to get enough permanent staff, especially specialist medical staff, to come and work for us, and we also need to make fuller use of new technology such as computers, phones, telehealth and telecare.

 

“This is why we have come up with three proposals that we think are safe, viable and offer an improvement on what we currently have, and have launched a formal 12-week consultation to present these to you, to listen and talk to you further and take on board your views and ideas.

 

“We all have a shared passion for the NHS, our services, our history and our staff and we want to harness this to design, together with you, the best health service for our population. We are so grateful to those of you who have already been involved in this as patients, staff and members of our communities.”

 

Your feedback will be independently analysed and considered before any formal proposal is put before our Health Board for decision on how to proceed later in 2018 and we will continue to keep you updated on how we have used your feedback.

Trigolion Sir Benfro – mae angen gwneud newidiadau i’ch gwasanaethau GIG, a dyma eich cyfle i ddweud eich dweud

 

Mae trigolion Sir Benfro a’r fro yn cael eu gwahodd i ddau ddigwyddiad galw-heibio cyhoeddus i drafod ein cynigion i newid yn sylfaenol y ffordd yr ydym yn darparu gwasanaethau gofal iechyd ar gyfer y genhedlaeth hon a chenedlaethau’r dyfodol.

 

Cynhelir y digwyddiadau rhwng 2pm a 7pm yn Neuadd Regency, Saundersfoot SA69 9NG ar ddydd Gwener 11 Mai 2018, a rhwng 2pm-7pm yn Neuadd Goffa Treletert, Treletert SA62 5RY ar ddydd Mawrth 15 Mai 2018. Dyma eich cyfle i ddweud eich dweud ar ein cynigion neu i rannu syniadau newydd â ni.

 

Mae Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda wedi lansio “Trawsnewid ein Gwasanaeth Iechyd,” ymgynghoriad 12-wythnos â’r nod o wella darpariaeth iechyd a gofal yn lleol ar gyfer ein cymunedau.

 

Rydym yn gofyn i drigolion ar draws Sir Gaerfyrddin, Ceredigion a Sir Benfro, yn ogystal â’r rhanbarthau trawsffiniol ehangach, i fod yn rhan o hyn ac i ddweud eu dweud ar y tri chynnig i wella’r ffordd yr ydym yn darparu gofal ar gyfer ein poblogaeth. Ein clinigwyr sydd wedi cynllunio a phrofi pob un o’r cynigion, er mwyn sicrhau bod ein gwasanaethau’n ddiogel, yn gynaliadwy, yn hygyrch ac yn garedig ar gyfer y genhedlaeth hon a chenedlaethau’r dyfodol.

 

Meddai Steve Moore, Prif Weithredwr Hywel Dda: “Gallai ein cynigion ar gyfer newid effeithio ar bob un yn ein hardal – yn fabanod a phobl hŷn a phob un yn y canol – felly rydym yn gofyn i bob un ohonoch i ddweud eich dweud. Rydym am glywed wrth ein cleifion, gofalwyr, perthnasau a’r miloedd o bobl sy’n gweithio i’r Bwrdd Iechyd.

 

“Y llynedd, gwnaethom ddechrau sgwrs gyda’n poblogaeth, ein staff a’r bobl yr ydym yn cyd-weithio â nhw i ddarparu gofal, i archwilio i’r hyn sy’n bwysig i bob un ohonom ac i feddwl ar y cyd am y ffyrdd gorau i redeg gwasanaethau. Credwn mai gyda’n gilydd yw’r ffordd gywir i fynd ati i gynllunio ein gwasanaethau. Gwnaethom ymchwilio i’r cyfleoedd y credwn sydd ar gael i ni trwy feddygaeth fodern, datblygiadau mewn technoleg a’r disgwyliadau sydd gennych chi am welliannau.

 

“Gwnaethom hefyd nodi’r heriau sylweddol y mae’r Gwasanaeth Iechyd yn eu hwynebu ac sy’n rhaid i ni fynd i’r afael â nhw er mwyn sicrhau ei fod yn ffynnu ac yn darparu ar eich cyfer chi a’ch teulu, yn awr ac i’r dyfodol. Golyga hyn bod yn rhaid i ni wneud penderfyniadau ynghylch ble y gallwn ddarparu gwasanaethau, a gwybod y bydd yn rhaid cyfaddawdu, er mwyn i ni wneud y defnydd gorau o’n hadnoddau.”

 

Ymhlith yr heriau mwyaf sy’n wynebu’r bwrdd iechyd ar hyn o bryd mae poblogaeth sy’n heneiddio, nifer o bobl yn profi anawsterau i gael mynediad i wasanaethau yn agos at adref, heriau recriwtio sylweddol – yn enwedig staff meddygol arbenigol – a hen adeiladau ysbyty sydd angen llawer o gynnal a chadw.

 

Er mwyn goresgyn yr heriau hyn, rydym am wneud newid radical i’r ffordd yr ydym yn darparu gwasanaethau gofal iechyd lleol fel bod pobl yn cael y rhan helaeth o’r gofal a’r driniaeth sydd eu hangen arnynt yn eu cymuned leol, a fel bod pobl yn medru aros adref tra’u bod nhw’n cael triniaeth yn hytrach na gorfod mynd i ysbyty. Bydd lleihau’r nifer o brif ysbytai’n golygu llai o rotas meddygol i’w llenwi, gan wneud y dasg o ddenu clinigwyr i ddod i weithio i ni yn haws; bydd hefyd yn golygu amserau aros byrrach, llai o ganslo a mwy o arian ar gyfer gwasanaethau lleol a chymunedol.

 

Ym mhob un o’r tri chynnig, bydd Ysbyty Cyffredinol Dosbarth Bronglais yn parhau i ddarparu gwasanaethau i’r canolbarth; byddwn yn adeiladu prif ysbyty newydd rhywle rhwng Arberth a San Clêr, a bydd 10 hyb cymunedol ar draws ardal y Bwrdd Iechyd.

 

 

 

Dyma’r cynigion:

 

 

 

Cynnig A

 

*     Ysbyty gofal brys a gofal wedi’i drefnu newydd rhwng Arberth a San Clêr

*     Ysbytai cymunedol yng Nglangwili, Tywysog Philip a Llwynhelyg

*     Ysbyty cyffredinol yn Aberystwyth ar safle Ysbyty Bronglais

 

 

 

Cynnig B

 

*     Ysbyty gofal brys a gofal wedi’i drefnu newydd rhwng Arberth a San Clêr

*     Ysbytai cymunedol yng Nglangwili a Llwynhelyg

*     Ysbytai cyffredinol yn Ysbyty Tywysog Philip, Llanelli ac yn Aerystwyth ar safle Ysbyty Bronglais

 

 

 

Cynnig C

 

*     Ysbyty gofal brys newydd rhwng Arberth a San Clêr

*     Ysbyty gofal wedi’i drefnu ar safle Glangwili

*     Ysbyty cymunedol yn Llwynhelyg

*     Ysbytai cyffredinol yn Ysbyty Tywysog Philip, Llanelli ac yn Aberystwyth ar safle Ysbyty Bronglais

 

 

 

Ychwanegodd Dr Phil Kloer, Cyfarwyddwr Meddygol Gweithredol a Chyfarwyddwr Strategaeth Glinigol Hywel Dda: “Mae’r heriau a wynebwn yn rhai sylweddol iawn. Mae pobl yn byw’n hirach, rhai ohonynt â chyflyrau iechyd hir-dymor, ac rydym yn disgwyl gweld llawer mwy o bobl hŷn y bydd arnynt angen gofal iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol rheolaidd.

 

“Yn ein hardal, mae rhai pobl yn byw mewn trefi a rhai yn byw yn y wlad, sy’n ei gwneud hi’n anodd sicrhau bod gwasanaethau yn y lle cywir i bobl eu defnyddio. Mae nifer o bobl yn byw ymhell oddi wrth wasanaethau, felly gall helpu pobl i fyw adref pan maen nhw’n cael triniaeth olygu llawer o deithio i weithwyr iechyd.

 

“Gwyddom bod pobl eisiau cael eu cefnogi i reoli eu hiechyd yn eu cartrefi eu hunain – mae tua 4 o bob 10 gwely ysbyty yn cael eu llenwi gan bobl a allai gael eu trin adref. Yn ogystal, rydym yn ei chael hi’n anodd denu digon o staff parhaol, yn enwedig staff meddygol arbenigol, i ddod i weithio i ni, ac mae angen i ni hefyd wneud defnydd llawnach o dechnoleg newydd megis cyfrifiaduron, ffonau, teleiechyd a teleofal.

 

“Dyma’r rhesymau dros benderfynu ar ein tri chynnig y credwn sy’n ddiogel, yn bosibl yn ariannol ac yn cynnig gwelliant i’r hyn sydd gennym yn bresennol, ac rydym yn ymgynghori’n ffurfiol dros 12-wythnos i’w cyflwyno i chi, i siarad â chi, i wrando arnoch ac i ystyried eich barn a’ch syniadau.

 

“Mae pob un ohonom yn angerddol dros y Gwasanaeth Iechyd, ein gwasanaethau, ein hanes a’n staff, ac rydym am ddefnyddio’r angerdd hwn i gyd-weithio â chi yn y dasg o gynllunio’r gwasanaeth iechyd gorau posibl ar gyfer ein poblogaeth. Rydym yn ddiolchgar iawn i’r rhai hynny ohonoch sydd eisoes wedi bod yn rhan o hyn fel cleifion, staff ac aelodau o’n cymunedau.”

 

Bydd eich adborth yn cael ei ddadansoddi’n annibynnol a’i ystyried cyn cyflwyno unrhyw gynnig ffurfiol i’n Bwrdd Iechyd am benderfyniad ar sut i fwrw ati yn nes ymlaen yn 2018, a byddwn yn parhau i’ch diweddaru ar ein defnydd o adborth.
