General practice is in crisis, but we believe it has the scope to save the NHS. We know that a well-resourced, sustainable general practice can deliver better outcomes for patients, the wider NHS and the taxpayer. In 2026, the people of Wales will pick their next government, and we are making the case that general practice holds the key to improving our National Health Service.
Our manifesto is a call to re-think patient care and health spending priorities; to re-establish the family doctor in your local community as the trusted first point of contact from cradle to grave.
Many will tell you that the NHS is broken, our manifesto shows how general practice is a big part of the solution to it having a brighter future.
Investing in general practice works for the patient, the NHS and the taxpayer
General practice is in crisis.
- 83% of GPs in Wales feel that patient safety is being compromised by excessive workload
- 65% of respondents disagree that they have enough time to adequately assess and treat patients during appointments.
- 58% of GPs felt that their mental wellbeing had declined while working as a GP over the previous 12 months
- 57% of GPs said that their practice requires additional works to improve or upgrade the premises to meet practice/patient needs
- 37% of GPs felt they were ‘unlikely’ to still be working in general practice in five years’ time
While the number of full-time equivalent GPs has fluctuated over recent quarters, it must be remembered that this is from a starting point calculated by the BMA to represent an existing shortfall of 664 GPs in comparison to the OECD EU average .
In 2002, GPs worked across 516 practices in Wales. By the start of the pandemic in 2020, there were 404 practices. Today, just 374 GP practices remain. There are many factors contributing to this decline, but at its core is the lack of a plan for a sustainable general practice service for patients.
This barely managed decline has come about despite reports, studies and political discourse indicating the importance of a shift in resources from secondary care towards primary and preventive care. Such a move is common sense. A patient treated at an earlier stage is a patient who has a better outcome. It is a net gain for the wider NHS as it reduces pressure throughout health and social care services. That is simply good value for the taxpayer.
Research has shown that every £1 spent on funding general practice saves £3 of hospital costs . There is an additional financial benefit if early treatment enables the patient to remain economically active. The NHS Confederation found that for every additional £1 spent on primary or community care, there was scope to increase economic output by £14 . We believe that general practice offers a vital opportunity to resolve long-standing and recurring challenges within the health service.
The future of general practice is in your hands
The choice of what the future of general practice will be is in your hands. There will always be a need for family doctors and for general practice, but what form it takes is open to question.
If the role is sustainably funded through the NHS, it will become the public service we need, offering quality care for patients, managing acute and chronic illness, with the essential capacity needed for preventive care. If it is not, then market forces will demand that the baton be picked up by the private sector and general practice will become more like private dentistry. This will inevitably widen health inequalities across the nation.
This is not a fanciful suggestion of a dystopian future. Already services which were once provided by NHS GPs are increasingly managed by private practices for those patients who can afford them. Examples include minor operations, joint injections, freezing warts, syringing ears, and spirometry.
Determining what future general practice will have is in the hands of the next government of Wales. For our patients and our profession, please choose carefully.
Deliver relationship-based care
GP time is precious for patients. It can have great therapeutic value with few adverse side effects. As workload rises while the workforce shrinks, GPs face mounting time pressures and demanding administrative tasks, and they struggle to safeguard essential time for patient consultations.
RCGP Cymru Wales welcomes measures which have been taken to recognise the importance of continuity of care within the GMS contract. This is a step in the right direction to a general practice which values delivering quality care for patients.
Although the pressures can feel overwhelming, GPs remain focused on trying to deliver meaningful, relationship-based care to patients. The time constraint imposed by 10-minute consultations mean that GPs increasingly need to be reactive, treating the immediate symptoms presented to them, rather than having the time to focus on potentially deeper-rooted causes. It can also prevent GPs from proactively addressing important preventive topics such as diet and lifestyle advice, gambling concerns, domestic abuse or supporting patients with smoking cessation. This was echoed by results of our 2024 GP Voice survey. When asked whether there is enough time during appointments to build the patient relationship needed to deliver quality care, 57% of our members disagreed. Furthermore, 65% of members felt that they do not have enough time during appointments to adequately assess and treat patients.
Multi-disciplinary teams are a crucial factor in improving a GP’s scope to focus on preventive care and early intervention. A collaborative approach works to ensure that patient needs are managed efficiently in a timely and cost-effective way. Investment in multi-disciplinary teams within general practice will free up GP time and offer patients a wider set of services such as physiotherapy, talking therapy, social prescribing and expert medication advice.
Freeing up GP time is also essential to ensure that the workforce is offered adequate time for their own continued professional development, development of special clinical interests quality improvement and research, as well as the opportunity to train new GPs and support the education of the next generation of doctors progressing through Welsh Medical Schools. Such activity fosters job satisfaction and decreasing burnout. Whilst time with patients will remain the most important part of general practice, these other aspects of a GP’s role are important for the sustainability of primary care.
Our policy calls:
- Free GPs from excess bureaucracy to deliver relationship-based care.
- Increase the workforce of both GPs and multi-disciplinary teams to allow GPs to spend more time with patients.
- Provide protected time for professional development, quality improvement, research, education and training.
Build healthy communities
The patient experience of general practice is shaped not just by the empathy and care of the GP but also by the environment. General practice estates are at breaking point. Some are in urgent need of modernisation, while others are relatively modern but cannot keep pace with the growth of the multi-disciplinary team requirements for space, and the needs of trainees who will be our next generation of NHS colleagues and family doctors. Future general practice estate development should consider energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Premises are a considerable cost and concern to GPs. A lease or mortgage is funded indirectly by the NHS, but it is the partner who is liable. This can create a significant financial challenge if their practice becomes unviable, a particular stress faced by partners in the ‘last person standing’ scenario where they are the final GP after others have left the partnership. In addition, a potential new partner could be discouraged by having to take out a loan to buy in to the practice. By establishing an opt-in central general practice estates body, the liability of the buildings, leases and mortgages could be held centrally. This would make partnership a more appealing option for GPs. No GP would be required to join the scheme, but we believe it would be an attractive option to many.
In addition to providing a setting for high quality care, the proximity of general practice to patients is important. The Welsh Government has consistently recognised this need for the provision of care close to home, but the experience has been very different for many patients who have been affected by the closure of their local surgery, often necessitating difficult journeys, disproportionality impacting the most disadvantaged.
What matters to patients is their proximity to the services that they require. If a hub can bring together more services under one roof, that might be preferable for a locality. But it must be carefully planned, with consideration of the convenience for patients. This should be done by design, with clear benefit to the community and not simply as a reaction to one practice failing and a patient list being passed to another. Our call for the publication of proximity to care data would empower communities to see what health services are available locally and allow them to see clearly when any changes are proposed. This is focused on helping residents to engage constructively in health planning within their community.
How a person experiences their environment is fundamental to their health and wellbeing. We are calling for health to be a more prominent feature in the planning process. This should include consideration of air quality, space to exercise safely, attractive active travel options, and even wellbeing enhanced by beautiful architectural surroundings.
Preventive medicine and social prescribing will never replace the need for GPs, their teams, or traditional prescription medicine, but they can empower the individual to take control of their health and minimise the amount of clinical care they will require. This is a sustainable and cost-effective option which delivers better health outcomes. Preventive medicine promotes healthier life choices and can reduce the number of referrals, hospital admissions and prescriptions through support to reduce risk factors. GPs are keen to play their part, but it is essential for the next government to dedicate sufficient resources for holistic care, health screening and a wide array of social prescribing options if we are to deliver a preventive medicine environment for all citizens.
Our policy calls:
- Expand the general practice estate.
- Establish an opt-in general practice funding body to take on the liability of the general practice estate, should GP partners wish.
- Publish proximity to care data so patients can see which services are available in their locality, allowing them to measure whether health care provision is improving in their community.
- Prioritise health and wellbeing through the planning system.
Fund general practice to save the NHS
A well-resourced general practice is good for the patient, the wider NHS, and the taxpayer. There will always be pressure to respond to immediate challenges facing the NHS, whether secondary care waiting lists or a critical incident from ambulance response times. These acute problems are symptoms of the critical lack of funding for less headline-grabbing but important components of the NHS.
The proportion of the NHS budget allocated to general practice in Wales has been decreasing for more than a decade. This decreased funding has been catastrophic, especially when one considers that 90% of all NHS patient encounters occur in primary care.
We accept that the benefits of investing in general practice today will take time to manifest in secondary care. That means in the short term there would need to be an increase in NHS spending. However, it would be focused and designed to deliver longer term savings to the health service and to the productive economy more generally.
Data from NHS England shows that a year’s worth of GP care per patient costs less than two trips to A&E. Thus, restoring the funding allocated to a service which provides early intervention and relationship-based care makes economic sense.
Our policy calls:
- Significantly increase the proportion of the NHS budget going to general practice via the GMS contract.
- Fund GP occupational health services to support GPs and their teams and boost GP retention for the benefit of our patients.
- Provide a further short-term injection of funding to general practice to make a long-term saving on the far higher costs of secondary care.
Mae buddsoddi mewn meddygaeth deulu yn gweithio i’r claf, y GIG a’r trethdalwr
Mae Meddygaeth Deulu mewn argyfwng.
- 83% o Feddygon Teulu yng Nghymru yn teimlo bod gormod o lwyth gwaith yn effeithio ar ddiogelwch cleifion
- 65% o’r ymatebwyr yn anghytuno bod ganddynt ddigon o amser i asesu a thrin cleifion yn ddigonol yn ystod apwyntiadau.
- 58% o feddygon teulu yn teimlo bod eu lles meddyliol wedi dirywio wrth weithio fel meddyg teulu dros y 12 mis blaenorol
- 57% o Feddygon Teulu yn dweud fod angen gwaith ychwanegol ar eu heiddo i wella neu uwchraddio’r adeilad i ddiwallu anghenion y practis/claf
- 37% o Feddygon Teulu yn teimlo eu bod yn ‘annhebygol’ o fod yn gweithio ym maes meddygaeth deulu ymhen pum mlynedd1
Er bod nifer y meddygon teulu cyfwerth ag amser llawn wedi amrywio dros chwarteri diweddar, rhaid cofio bod hyn o fan cychwyn a gyfrifwyd gan y BMA i gynrychioli diffyg presennol o 664 o feddygon teulu o’i gymharu â chyfartaledd yr UE yn ôl yr OECD2.
Yn 2002, roedd meddygon teulu yn gweithio ar draws 516 o bractisau yng Nghymru. Erbyn dechrau’r pandemig yn 2020, roedd 404 o bractisau. Heddiw, dim ond 374 o bractisau meddygon teulu sydd ar ôl. Mae llawer o ffactorau’n cyfrannu at y dirywiad hwn, ond yn ganolog i hyn mae diffyg cynllun ar gyfer gwasanaeth meddygaeth deulu cynaliadwy i gleifion.
Mae’r gostyngiad hwn, sydd prin yn cael ei reoli, wedi digwydd er gwaethaf adroddiadau, astudiaethau a thrafodaethau gwleidyddol sy’n dangos pwysigrwydd symud adnoddau o ofal eilaidd i ofal sylfaenol a gofal ataliol. Mae symudiad o’r fath yn synnwyr cyffredin. Mae claf sy’n cael ei drin yn gynharach yn glaf sy’n cael canlyniad gwell. Mae’n enilliad net i’r GIG ehangach gan ei fod yn lleihau’r pwysau ar draws gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. Yn syml iawn, mae hynny’n werth da i’r trethdalwr.
Mae ymchwil wedi dangos bod pob £1 sy’n cael ei wario ar gyllido meddygaeth deulu yn arbed £3 o gostau ysbyty3 . Mae mantais ariannol ychwanegol os yw triniaeth gynnar yn galluogi’r claf i barhau i fod yn economaidd weithgar. Canfu Cydffederasiwn y GIG, am bob £1 ychwanegol sy’n cael ei gwario ar ofal sylfaenol neu ofal cymunedol, fod cyfle i gynyddu £14 ar allbwn economaidd4.
Credwn fod meddygaeth deulu yn cynnig cyfle hanfodol i ddatrys heriau sy’n codi dro ar ôl tro yn y gwasanaeth iechyd.
Mae dyfodol meddygaeth deulu yn eich dwylo chi
Mae’r dewis ynghylch beth fydd dyfodol meddygaeth deulu yn eich dwylo chi. Bydd angen meddygon teulu a meddygaeth deulu bob amser, ond mae cwestiwn ynghylch ar ba ffurf y bydd hynny.
Os caiff y rôl ei hariannu’n gynaliadwy drwy’r GIG, bydd yn dod yn wasanaeth cyhoeddus sydd ei angen arnom, gan gynnig gofal o ansawdd uchel i gleifion, rheoli afiechydon aciwt a chronig, gyda’r capasiti hanfodol sydd ei angen ar gyfer gofal ataliol. Os na fydd hynny’n digwydd, yna bydd grymoedd y farchnad yn mynnu bod y sector preifat yn camu i mewn a bydd meddygaeth deulu yn mynd yn debycach i ddeintyddiaeth breifat. Mae’n anochel y bydd hyn yn ehangu ar anghydraddoldebau iechyd ledled y wlad.
Nid yw hyn yn awgrym ffansïol o ddyfodol dystopaidd. Eisoes, mae gwasanaethau a oedd yn arfer cael eu darparu gan feddygon teulu’r GIG yn cael eu rheoli fwyfwy gan bractisau preifat ar gyfer y cleifion hynny sy’n gallu eu fforddio. Mae enghreifftiau’n cynnwys mân lawdriniaethau, pigiadau i’r cymalau, rhewi dafadennau, chwistrellu’r clustiau a sbirometreg.
Mae penderfynu sut beth fydd meddygaeth deulu yn y dyfodol yn nwylo llywodraeth nesaf Cymru. Dewiswch yn ofalus, er mwyn ein cleifion a’n proffesiwn.
Darparu gofal sy’n seiliedig ar berthynas
Mae amser meddygon teulu yn werthfawr i gleifion. Gall fod â gwerth therapiwtig mawr heb lawer o sgil-effeithiau niweidiol. Wrth i lwyth gwaith gynyddu tra bo’r gweithlu’n crebachu, mae meddygon teulu’n wynebu pwysau cynyddol o ran amser a thasgau gweinyddol anodd, ac maent yn ei chael yn anodd diogelu amser hanfodol ar gyfer ymgynghoriadau cleifion.
Mae Coleg Brenhinol y Meddygon Teulu Cymru yn croesawu mesurau sydd wedi cael eu rhoi ar waith i gydnabod pwysigrwydd parhad gofal yn y contract ar gyfer Gwasanaethau Meddygol Cyffredinol. Mae hyn yn gam i’r cyfeiriad cywir tuag at feddygaeth deulu sy’n gwerthfawrogi darparu gofal o safon i gleifion.
Er bod y pwysau’n gallu teimlo’n llethol, mae meddygon teulu’n dal i ganolbwyntio ar geisio darparu gofal ystyrlon sy’n seiliedig ar berthynas i gleifion. Mae’r cyfyngiad amser a achosir gan 10 munud o ymgynghori yn golygu bod angen i feddygon teulu fod yn adweithiol, gan drin y symptomau uniongyrchol a gyflwynir iddynt, yn hytrach na chael yr amser i ganolbwyntio ar achosion a allai fod wedi’u gwreiddio’n ddyfnach o bosibl. Gall hefyd atal meddygon teulu rhag mynd i’r afael yn rhagweithiol â phynciau ataliol pwysig fel cyngor ar ddeiet a ffordd o fyw, pryderon ynghylch gamblo, cam-drin domestig neu gefnogi cleifion sy’n rhoi’r gorau i ysmygu. Ategwyd hyn gan ganlyniadau ein harolwg Llais Meddygon Teulu 2024. Pan ofynnwyd a oes digon o amser yn ystod apwyntiadau i feithrin y berthynas â chleifion sydd ei hangen i ddarparu gofal o safon, roedd 57% o’n haelodau yn anghytuno. Ar ben hynny, roedd 65% o aelodau’n teimlo nad oes ganddynt ddigon o amser yn ystod apwyntiadau i asesu a thrin cleifion yn ddigonol.
Mae timau amlddisgyblaethol yn ffactor hanfodol o ran gwella gallu meddyg teulu i ganolbwyntio ar ofal ataliol ac ymyrraeth gynnar. Mae dull cydweithredol yn gweithio i sicrhau bod anghenion cleifion yn cael eu rheoli’n effeithlon mewn ffordd amserol a chost-effeithiol. Bydd buddsoddi mewn timau amlddisgyblaethol o fewn meddygaeth deulu yn rhyddhau amser meddygon teulu ac yn cynnig set ehangach o wasanaethau i gleifion fel ffisiotherapi, therapi siarad, rhagnodi cymdeithasol a chyngor arbenigol ar feddyginiaethau.
Mae rhyddhau amser meddygon teulu hefyd yn hanfodol i sicrhau bod y gweithlu’n cael cynnig digon o amser ar gyfer eu datblygiad proffesiynol parhaus eu hunain, datblygu ymchwil a gwella ansawdd diddordebau clinigol arbennig, yn ogystal â’r cyfle i hyfforddi meddygon teulu newydd a chefnogi addysg y genhedlaeth nesaf o feddygon sy’n symud ymlaen drwy Ysgolion Meddygol Cymru. Mae gweithgarwch o’r fath yn meithrin boddhad mewn swydd a llai o orflino. Er mai amser gyda chleifion fydd y rhan bwysicaf o feddygaeth deulu o hyd, mae’r agweddau eraill hyn ar rôl meddyg teulu yn bwysig o ran cynaliadwyedd gofal sylfaenol.
Ein galwadau o ran polisi:
- Rhyddhau Meddygon Teulu o fiwrocratiaeth gormodol er mwyn darparu gofal yn seiliedig ar berthynas.
- Cynyddu gweithlu meddygon teulu a thimau amlddisgyblaethol er mwyn caniatáu i feddygon teulu dreulio mwy o amser gyda chleifion.
- Darparu amser wedi’i neilltuo ar gyfer datblygiad proffesiynol, gwella ansawdd, ymchwil, addysg a hyfforddiant.
Adeiladu cymunedau iach
Mae profiad y claf o feddygaeth deulu yn cael ei siapio nid yn unig gan empathi a gofal y meddyg teulu ond hefyd gan yr amgylchedd. Mae ystadau meddygaeth deulu ar eu gliniau. Mae rhai ohonynt angen eu moderneiddio ar frys, tra bo eraill yn gymharol fodern ond yn methu â chadw i fyny â thwf gofynion y tîm amlddisgyblaethol ar gyfer gofod, ac anghenion hyfforddeion, sef y rhai a fydd ein cenhedlaeth nesaf o feddygon teulu a chyd-weithwyr yn y GIG. Dylai datblygu ystâd meddygaeth deulu yn y dyfodol ystyried effeithlonrwydd ynni a chynaliadwyedd amgylcheddol.
Mae adeiladau’n gost ac yn destun cryn bryder i feddygon teulu. Mae les neu forgais yn cael ei ariannu’n anuniongyrchol gan y GIG, ond y partner sy’n atebol. Gall hyn greu her ariannol sylweddol os bydd eu practis yn mynd yn anhyfyw, straen penodol sy’n wynebu partneriaid yn y senario ‘person olaf ar ôl’ lle mai nhw yw’r meddyg teulu olaf ar ôl i eraill adael y bartneriaeth. Ar ben hynny, gallai partner newydd posibl gael ei ddigalonni drwy orfod cael benthyciad i brynu i mewn i’r practis. Drwy sefydlu corff ystadau meddygaeth deulu canolog y gellir optio i mewn iddo, gellid dal atebolrwydd am yr adeiladau, y prydlesau a’r morgeisi’n ganolog. Byddai hyn yn gwneud partneriaeth yn ddewis mwy deniadol i feddygon teulu. Ni fyddai’n ofynnol i unrhyw feddyg teulu ymuno â’r cynllun, ond credwn y byddai’n opsiwn deniadol i lawer.
Yn ogystal â darparu lleoliad ar gyfer gofal o ansawdd uchel, mae agosrwydd meddygaeth deulu at gleifion yn bwysig. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cydnabod yn gyson yr angen hwn am ddarparu gofal yn agos at y cartref, ond mae’r profiad wedi bod yn wahanol iawn i lawer o gleifion y mae cau eu meddygfa leol wedi effeithio arnynt, sy’n aml yn golygu bod angen ymgymryd â theithiau anodd, gan effeithio’n anghymesur ar y rhai mwyaf difreintiedig.
Yr hyn sy’n bwysig i gleifion yw pa mor agos ydynt at y gwasanaethau sydd eu hangen arnynt. Os gall hwb ddod â mwy o wasanaethau at ei gilydd o dan un to, efallai y byddai hynny’n well i ardal benodol. Ond rhaid ei gynllunio’n ofalus, gan ystyried yr hwylustod i gleifion. Dylid gwneud hyn drwy ddylunio, gyda budd clir i’r gymuned ac nid yn unig fel adwaith i fethiant un practis a throsglwyddo rhestr cleifion i un arall. Byddai ein galwad am gyhoeddi data agosrwydd at ofal yn galluogi cymunedau i weld pa wasanaethau iechyd sydd ar gael yn lleol ac yn caniatáu iddynt weld yn glir pan fydd unrhyw newidiadau’n cael eu cynnig. Mae hyn yn canolbwyntio ar helpu trigolion i gymryd rhan adeiladol yn y gwaith o gynllunio iechyd yn eu cymuned.
Mae sut y mae person yn profi ei amgylchedd yn hanfodol i’w iechyd a’i lesiant. Rydym yn galw am i iechyd fod yn nodwedd fwy amlwg yn y broses gynllunio. Dylai hyn gynnwys ystyried ansawdd aer, lle i wneud ymarfer corff yn ddiogel, opsiynau teithio llesol deniadol, a hyd yn oed llesiant sy’n cael ei wella gan amgylchedd pensaernïol hardd.
Ni fydd meddyginiaeth ataliol na phresgripsiynu cymdeithasol fyth yn disodli’r angen am feddygon teulu, eu timau, na meddyginiaethau presgripsiwn traddodiadol, ond gallant rymuso unigolion i gymryd rheolaeth dros eu hiechyd a lleihau faint o ofal clinigol y bydd ei angen arnynt. Dyma opsiwn cynaliadwy a chost-effeithiol sy’n esgor ar ganlyniadau iechyd gwell. Mae meddygaeth ataliol yn hyrwyddo dewisiadau bywyd iachach ac yn gallu lleihau nifer yr atgyfeiriadau, y derbyniadau i’r ysbyty a’r presgripsiynau drwy gymorth i leihau ffactorau risg. Mae meddygon teulu’n awyddus i chwarae eu rhan, ond mae’n hanfodol bod y llywodraeth nesaf yn neilltuo digon o adnoddau ar gyfer gofal cyfannol, sgrinio iechyd ac amrywiaeth eang o ddewisiadau presgripsiynu cymdeithasol, os ydym am ddarparu amgylchedd meddygaeth ataliol i bob dinesydd.
Ein galwadau o ran polisi:
- Ehangu ystâd meddygaeth deulu.
- Sefydlu corff cyllido ‘optio i mewn’ ar gyfer meddygaeth deulu i ysgwyddo atebolrwydd yr ystâd meddygaeth deulu, pe bai partneriaid meddygon teulu yn dymuno hynny.
- Cyhoeddi data agosrwydd at ofal fel y gall cleifion weld pa wasanaethau sydd ar gael yn eu hardal, gan alluogi iddynt fesur a yw darpariaeth gofal iechyd yn gwella yn eu cymuned.
- Blaenoriaethu iechyd a llesiant drwy’r system gynllunio.
Ariannu meddygaeth deulu i achub y GIG
Mae meddygaeth deulu ag adnoddau da yn dda i’r claf, i’r GIG ehangach, ac i’r trethdalwr. Bydd pwysau bob amser i ymateb i heriau uniongyrchol sy’n wynebu’r GIG, boed hynny’n restrau aros gofal eilaidd neu’n ddigwyddiad tyngedfennol o amseroedd ymateb cerbydau ambiwlans. Mae’r problemau difrifol hyn yn symptomau o’r diffyg cyllid difrifol ar gyfer elfennau sy’n cael llai o sylw yn y penawdau ond sy’n elfennau pwysig o’r GIG.
Mae cyfran cyllideb y GIG a ddyrannwyd i feddygaeth deulu yng Nghymru wedi bod yn gostwng am dros ddegawd. Mae’r gostyngiad hwn mewn cyllid wedi bod yn drychinebus, yn enwedig pan fo rhywun yn ystyried bod 90% o holl gyfarfodydd â chleifion y GIG yn digwydd mewn gofal sylfaenol.
Rydym yn derbyn y bydd manteision buddsoddi mewn meddygaeth deulu heddiw yn cymryd amser i ddod i’r amlwg mewn gofal eilaidd. Mae hynny’n golygu yn y tymor byr y byddai angen cynyddu gwariant y GIG. Fodd bynnag, byddai wedi’i lunio ar gyfer cyflawni arbedion tymor hwy i’r gwasanaeth iechyd ac i’r economi gynhyrchiol yn fwy cyffredinol, ac yn canolbwyntio ar hynny.
Mae data o GIG Lloegr yn dangos bod gwerth blwyddyn o ofal meddyg teulu fesul claf yn costio llai na dwy daith i’r Adran Ddamweiniau ac Achosion Brys. Felly, mae adfer y cyllid a ddyrennir i wasanaeth sy’n darparu ymyrraeth gynnar a gofal sy’n seiliedig ar berthynas yn gwneud synnwyr economaidd5.
Ein galwadau o ran polisi:
- Cynyddu’n sylweddol y gyfran o gyllideb y GIG sy’n mynd i feddygaeth deulu drwy’r contract ar gyfer gwasanaethau meddygol cyffredinol (GMS).
- Ariannu gwasanaethau iechyd galwedigaethol meddygon teulu i gefnogi meddygon teulu a'u timau a rhoi hwb i gadw meddygon teulu er budd ein cleifion.
- Darparu hwb tymor byr pellach o gyllid i feddygfeydd teulu i wneud arbedion tymor hir ar gostau gofal eilaidd sy’n llawer uwch.
