Pa gynnydd sydd wedi'i wneud ar weithredu Cynllun De Cymru o ran lleddfu'r pwysau ar wasanaethau newyddenedigol a amlygwyd gan yr adroddiadau a gyhoeddwyd gan BLISS a'r Rhaglen Archwilio Newyddenedigol Genedlaethol, a sut y bydd y cynnydd hwn yn cael ei fonitro?
Under the leadership of the Wales Neonatal Network, all neonatal units in Wales have considered the findings of the National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP) and BLISS reports. Progress against national standards will continue to be monitored through Neonatal Network compliance reports and the NNAP audit produced by the Royal College of Paediatricians and Child Health (RCPCH).
The Network has supported the development of innovative medical roles to attract more staff and promoted training of a number of Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioners to complement medical staffing roles in each unit. The Network is working with the post graduate deanery to help recruit and retain more trainee doctors.
Welsh Government has provided £7. 472m for first phases of neonatal services at the University Hospital of Wales. This has provided significantly more physical space around the cots than the previous layout which is beneficial to both infection prevention and undertaking clinical interventions.
I have approved the release of capital funding to construct the Specialist and Critical Care (SCCC) at Llanfrechfa Grange from 2016-17 to 2021-22. The SCCC represents an investment of some £350m in the creation of a modern, purpose designed hospital which will enable the provision of high quality outcomes for patients.
