Rhaid cyflwyno Cwestiynau Ysgrifenedig o leiaf bum diwrnod gwaith cyn y disgwylir iddynt gael eu hateb. Yn ymarferol, bydd Gweinidogion yn ceisio ateb o fewn saith neu wyth diwrnod ond nid oes rheidrwydd arnynt i wneud hynny. Caiff yr atebion eu cyhoeddi yn yr iaith y maent yn cael eu darparu, gyda chyfieithiad i'r Saesneg o ymatebion a ddarperir yn Gymraeg.

Angela Burns (Gorllewin Caerfyrddin a De Sir Benfro): O ystyried bod Ysgol Penfro a Tasker Milward yn bwriadu rhoi'r gorau i gynnig TGAU gwyddoniaeth driphlyg i ddisgyblion o fis Medi ymlaen, a yw'r Gweinidog wedi cysylltu â'r ysgolion neu Gyngor Sir Penfro i fynegi pryder am y mater hwn? (WAQ68558)

Y Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau (Huw Lewis): I can provide reassurance that Pembroke School and Tasker Milward School do not intend to stop offering GSCE Triple Science and will support those pupils wishing to study Triple Science.As highlighted through such key developments as the Focus on Science campaign and a specific funding package supporting teaching and learning, the Welsh Government is placing great emphasis on promoting and developing the study of Science subjects - including a continuing commitment to Triple Science.
Curriculum planning is principally a matter for schools. However, the Welsh Government is working closely with the regional consortia and head teachers to assist schools with planning, and options are now being shared with schools across Wales.
In conjunction with WJEC, we are developing a new suite of Science GCSEs for first teaching from September 2016. Draft outline content has been recently published on the Qualifications Wales website. A key element of the suite is the provision of separate Science GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, as well as a traditional double award Science. These have all been designed with the aim of providing a sound foundation for A Level studies in Science.

Mark Isherwood (Gogledd Cymru): Yn dilyn cyhoeddi'r rhybudd diogelwch cleifion ar sepsis ar 12 Medi 2014, pa gamau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru a/neu GIG Cymru wedi'u cymryd er mwyn sicrhau ei fod o leiaf yn cyfateb i'r cynnydd mewn gofal sepsis yn y GIG yn Lloegr? (WAQ68555)
Mark Isherwood (Gogledd Cymru): Pa gamau y mae'r GIG yng Nghymru wedi'u cymryd er mwyn symud gofal sepsis fel blaenoriaeth datblygu haen 1 i fod yn flaenoriaeth llawn haen 1? (WAQ68556)

Y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Mark Drakeford): Organisations have been supported in achieving implementation of the actions of the Patient Safety Alert (PSA) by participation in the 1000 Lives Rapid Response to Acute Illness Learning Set (RRAILS). All organisations are represented on the RRAILS steering group, at quarterly national study days and on monthly webex calls and are therefore actively involved in agreeing standardisation, measuring improvements and sharing progress to achieving the PSA actions.Sepsis care in Wales has progressed faster and further than that in NHS England due, in large part, to the way that Welsh organisations have shown that they can work collaboratively. Wales became the first healthcare system to implement the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), an important first step in the identification of sepsis. NEWS has been advocated by the Royal College of Physicians for implementation across the UK and has been the standard in Welsh acute hospitals since 2013, compared to its current use in approximately 60% of English hospitals. In addition NEWS is in use in the Welsh Ambulance Services Trust, most community hospitals and is being tested by some GP and out of hours services. Welsh NHS organisations have been able to agree a standardised sepsis definition and implement the same screening tool in all hospitals.
The main step in the transition of sepsis care as a tier one priority is in agreeing a set of sepsis metrics that can be used for improvement in the first instance and thereafter for quality assurance. Measurement of sepsis prevalence, incidence, treatment compliance and associated mortality in Wales is being assessed in
a number of ways, including through mortality and harm reviews, the 'Size of Sepsis in Wales' prevalence study, the Critical Care Outreach Team database and the Aneurin Bevan Collaborative on Sepsis (ABC Sepsis). Sepsis prevalence in hospital admissions will be a reportable outcome measure in the NHS Outcome Framework for 2015/16 which will be launched in April.
