Cyfeillion Ysbyty Goffa a Gweinyddesau y Gymuned

DYMA cofnodion o gyfarfod 15 Mai, gan gynnwys yr AGM.

Croesawyd pawb oedd yn bresennol a derbyniwyd ymddiheuriad gan un oedd yn absennol.

Hoffai’r Cyfeillion anfon eu cofion at Wmffra a Ken.

Derbyniwyd gofnodion y cyfarfod diwethaf yn gywir.

Derbyniwyd lythyr drwy law yr ysgrifennydd gan Nia Williams, swyddog cefnogi partneriaeth o Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr yn cyflwyno ei hun ac yn awyddus i gyfarfod a’r Cyfeillion er mwyn ein cefnogi gyda unrhyw fater sydd yn codi, ynghyd a Wyn Thomas, Pennaeth, cynorthwyo ardal gofal cychwynnol (Gorllewin), oedd yn awyddus i rannu y manylion diweddaraf ynglyn â’r Ganolfan Iechyd newydd sydd i fod i agor yn yr Hydref.

Penderfynwyd gwahodd y ddau i’r cyfarfod nesaf.

Cafwyd presenoldeb cyfreithiwr yn y cyfarfod er mwyn cael eglurhad priodol a manylder y Cyfansoddiad.

Nodwyd fod y Pwyllgor Amddiffyn dal yn agored ac wedi cyflwyno tair deiseb i gyd i’r Bwrdd Iechyd.

Atgoffwyd y cyfeillion fod y Bwrdd Iechyd wedi gwrthod arian yn y gorffennol i adeiladu estyniad i’r ysbyty pan gynigwyd arian iddynt.

Mae’n deg dweud fod arian mae’r Cyfeillion wedi ei roi i’r Ysbyty yn y gorffennol i brynu adnoddau bellach wedi eu taflu i ffwrdd pan gaeuwyd yr ysbyty.

Mae’n debyg fod llawer o bobl yn edrych i weld beth mae’r Cyfeillion yn mynd i wneud gyda’r arian.

Diolchwyd i’r cyfreithiwr am ei amser a rhannu ei arbenigedd a gwerthfawrogi’r hyn yn fawr.

Does neb yn gwybod yn iawn pa bryd mae’r adeilad yn ail agor. Penderfynwyd rhoi arian tuag at fatri newydd i’r diffibriwlator sydd yn Nolwyddelan.

Cyfarfod nesaf: 18 Medi, am 7yh.
