Cwm Taf: Deall Ein Cymunedau

Annwyl Bartner,

Dros y sawl mis diwethaf mae Grwp Craidd Asesiad y Boblogaeth/Lles Cwm Taf wedi bod yn paratoi cyfres o ddogfennau gwybodaeth. Mae'r dogfennau yma wedi'u dosbarthu yn ôl saith grŵp o glientiaid Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) a'r pedair thema sy'n rhan o Ddeddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru), ac mae cynrychiolwyr allweddol o wasanaethau, sefydliadau a chymunedau wedi rhoi'u mewnbwn iddyn nhw.

Cam nesaf yr asesiadau poblogaeth/lles ydy parhau i drafod gyda'r rhanddeiliaid yma. Bydd angen i'r sgyrsiau yma ganolbwyntio ar y penawdau sy'n deillio o'r dogfennau gwybodaeth. Mae yna dogfennau crynno ar gael ar y Hwb Cwm Taf.

Felly, rydyn ni'n cynnal cyfres o weithdai i randdeiliaid ym mis Hydref a mis Tachwedd.

Dyma wahoddiad i chi i ddod i un neu ragor o'r gweithdai hynny, fel sy'n berthnasol i'ch gwaith.

Caiff pob gweithdy ei hwyluso'n annibynnol.  Y nod yw dechrau ymchwilio i'r manylion sydd y tu ôl i'r penawdau – pam mae materion/bylchau'n bodoli a sut y gall rhanddeiliaid geisio datblygu atebion ar y cyd.

Bydd y 'canlyniadau' sy'n deillio o'r gweithdai yma yn cyfrannu at ailddrafftio'r dogfennau gwybodaeth, a fydd yn dod yn Asesiad Anghenion y Boblogaeth ac Asesiad Lles. Bydd y naill ddogfen a'r llall yn allweddol o ran cynllunio, polisïau, comisiynu, dod i benderfyniadau, a chynllunio gwasanaeth a'i ddarparu ar draws sefydliadau'r gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ac ar draws ardal Cwm Taf. Dyma'ch cyfle i sicrhau bod eich gwasanaeth/sefydliad yn cael ei gynrychioli.

GWYBODAETH BWYSIG:

·         Cadwch le mewn sesiwn o'ch dewis drwy ddefnyddio'n ffurflen ar-lein. Mae copïau caled o'r ffurflen archebu ar gael ar gais.

·         Bydd modd i gadw lle yn cau dau diwrnod gweithio cyn pob gweithdy.

·         Byddwn ni'n anfon rhagor o wybodaeth maes o law.

·         Byddwch gystal â chofrestru ar gyfer un achlysur i bob unigolyn, lle bynnag y bo'n bosibl. Dim ond hyn-a-hyn o leoedd sydd i'w cael. Meddyliwch hefyd am gynrychiolaeth mewn achlysuron perthnasol i osgoi dyblygu a dyrannu sawl lle i'r un gwasanaeth/sefydliad.

Os oes unrhyw gwestiwn gennych chi, mae croeso i chi gysylltu â ni. Rydyn ni'n edrych ymlaen at eich gweld chi'n fuan!

Cofion,

Deall Ein Cymunedau

Bydd yr achlysur yn cael ei gynnal yn ystod Wythnos Ymwybyddiaeth Trosedd Casineb. Bydd yn tynnu sylw at y gwaith sy'n mynd rhagddo yn ardal Cwm Taf i godi ymwybyddiaeth o drosedd casineb, a chefnogi'r sawl sy'n dioddef yn sgil trosedd casineb. Bydd ein siaradwyr gwadd yn disgrifio'u profiadau a thrafod sut i beidio â sefyll o'r neilltu.

Mae ein siaradwyr gwadd yn cynnwys:

Steve Jenkins, chwaraewr pêl-droed Cymru, a oedd yn rheolwr Clwb Pêl-droed Tref Merthyr Tudful tan yn ddiweddar. Bydd Steve yn trafod ei waith gyda'r elusen addysg, Show Racism the Red Card.

Bydd Gemma Kennedy, sy'n byw yn Hirwaun, yn rhannu ei phrofiadau o fod yn ddioddefwr trosedd casineb yn erbyn pobl anabl.

Bydd lluniaeth ysgafn ar gael yn ystod yr achlysur. Disgwylir i'r achlysur orffen am 5.30pm.

Rydyn ni'n edrych ymlaen at eich croesawu chi. Dim ond hyn a hyn o lefydd sydd, felly, ffoniwch Sian Edwards ar 01443 424194 neu anfon e-bost at Sian.Edwards@rctcbc.gov.uk i gadarnhau y byddwch chi'n dod.

Cwm Taf UHB are sourcing representatives - are you interested?

The All Wales Individual Patient Funding Requests (IPFR) policy was introduced in 2011 and its aim is to ensure there is a fair, transparent and consistent approach to decision making across Wales. Where a medicine or treatment has not been appraised or approved for use in the NHS in Wales, a clinician can apply for it to be made available under the IPFR process. This process allows access to treatments where there is clear evidence a patient will benefit because of exceptional clinical circumstances.  

Following a ministerial review of the IPFR process in Wales, there is a requirement for each health board to recruit two lay representatives to its IPFR panel.  Each lay member will be required to fully participate in the IPFR panel discussions and will have voting rights. 

If you would like to be considered for this role, please submit an expression of interest detailing how you fulfil the requirements of the role specification.  Please address this to:

Lynda Williams

Director of Nursing & Chair of the IPFR panel
Cwm Taf Local Health Board
Ynysmeurig House
Navigation Park
Abercynon
CF45 4SN

Expressions of interests must be received no later than Friday 21 October 2016.  Suitable candidates will be invited to attend an informal discussion with members of the IPFR panel in November 2016. 

For further information, please contact Claire Tynan-Preece, Patient Flow Manager on 01443 744821 or claire.tynan-preece@wales.nhs.uk
