The Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has stated that specialties, including dermatology, continue to face significant pressures.

 

Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament, has written to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, calling for urgent action to ensure more dermatology specialists practice in Wales.

 

Janet commented:

 

“While the 111 website states that the average time to start dermatology treatment is 16 weeks, with 10% of patients waiting 68 weeks or more following referral, I have been frequently approached by constituents, some of whom have been waiting over 100 weeks to be seen.

 

“This delay in treatment has placed significant strain on their day-to-day lives and forced them to make difficult decisions. This is unacceptable.

 

“Today, I have written to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Jeremy Miles MS, to call for urgent action to attract more dermatology specialists to Wales, particularly within the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board area.

 

“It is only by increasing the number of specialists that the significant treatment backlog can be addressed. I have long called for more specialists, and in response to a written question I submitted in 2024, the then Cabinet Secretary, now First Minister Eluned Morgan, stated:

 

‘The health board has developed a plan to resolve immediate issues within its dermatology service.’

 

Janet continued:

 

“However, that was nearly two years ago, and we are still seeing problems persist, backlogs grow, and more constituents seeking support.” continue to call for prompt action to address this shortfall in consultants.”

Mae Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr wedi nodi bod arbenigeddau, gan gynnwys dermatoleg, yn parhau i fod dan bwysau aruthrol.

 

Mae Janet Finch-Saunders, yr Aelod o’r Senedd, wedi ysgrifennu at Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, yn galw am gamau brys i sicrhau bod mwy o arbenigwyr dermatoleg yn ymarfer yng Nghymru.

 

Meddai Janet:

"Er bod gwefan 111 yn nodi mai'r amser cyfartalog i ddechrau triniaeth dermatoleg yw 16 wythnos, gyda 10% o gleifion yn aros 68 wythnos neu fwy ar ôl atgyfeirio, mae etholwyr wedi cysylltu â mi yn aml, rhai ohonyn nhw wedi bod yn aros dros 100 wythnos i gael eu gweld.

 

"Mae'r oedi yma mewn triniaeth wedi rhoi straen sylweddol ar eu bywydau bob dydd a'u gorfodi i wneud penderfyniadau anodd. Mae hyn yn annerbyniol.

 

"Heddiw, rydw i wedi ysgrifennu at Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol, Jeremy Miles AS, i alw am gamau brys i ddenu mwy o arbenigwyr dermatoleg i Gymru, yn enwedig i ardal Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr.

 

"Dim ond trwy gynyddu nifer yr arbenigwyr y gellir mynd i'r afael â'r ôl-groniad sylweddol sy’n aros am driniaeth. Rydw i wedi galw ers amser maith am fwy o arbenigwyr, ac mewn ymateb i gwestiwn ysgrifenedig a gyflwynais yn 2024, dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ar y pryd, a’r Prif Weinidog Eluned Morgan bellach:

 

'Mae'r bwrdd iechyd wedi datblygu cynllun i ddatrys materion uniongyrchol o fewn ei wasanaeth dermatoleg.'

 

Parhaodd Janet:

 

"Fodd bynnag, roedd hynny bron i ddwy flynedd yn ôl, ac rydyn ni’n dal i weld problemau'n parhau, ôl-groniadau yn tyfu, a mwy o etholwyr yn ceisio cefnogaeth ac yn parhau i alw am weithredu prydlon i fynd i'r afael â'r diffyg meddygon ymgynghorol hwn."
