Diolch i chi, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Mae mabwysiadu technolegau digidol ar raddfa eang yn golygu nad oes angen i ni ei gwneud yn ofynnol i bobl sy’n sâl deithio pellteroedd maith i weld meddygon mwyach. Mae’n peri rhwystredigaeth i mi fod y GIG yn aml yn gwneud dim mwy nag anfon llythyrau neu ffacsys hyd yn oed—un o gadarnleoedd olaf y defnydd o’r peiriant ffacs yn y gymdeithas fodern yn ddi-os. Yn aml, nodir mai cyfrinachedd neu ddiogelwch cleifion yw’r rhwystrau sy’n atal y datblygiadau newydd hyn rhag cael eu mabwysiadu. Ond mae datblygiadau ar y gweill yn Lloegr a gwasanaethau technoleg cyffredin y DU, sydd wedi’u cysylltu â Swyddfa’r Cabinet, yn cynnig rhyngrwyd ddiogel ar gyfer y sector cyhoeddus heb fod angen troi at rwydweithiau preifat drud. Rwy’n teimlo bod angen i ni fynd i’r afael â’r rhwystrau hyn i wneud yn siŵr ein bod yn manteisio ar yr arloesedd sydd ar gael i rannau eraill o’r gymdeithas ar gyfer cleifion yn y GIG.
The cabinet is the group of twenty or so (and no more than 22) senior government ministers who are responsible for running the departments of state and deciding government policy.
It is chaired by the prime minister.
The cabinet is bound by collective responsibility, which means that all its members must abide by and defend the decisions it takes, despite any private doubts that they might have.
Cabinet ministers are appointed by the prime minister and chosen from MPs or peers of the governing party.
However, during periods of national emergency, or when no single party gains a large enough majority to govern alone, coalition governments have been formed with cabinets containing members from more than one political party.
War cabinets have sometimes been formed with a much smaller membership than the full cabinet.
From time to time the prime minister will reorganise the cabinet in order to bring in new members, or to move existing members around. This reorganisation is known as a cabinet re-shuffle.
The cabinet normally meets once a week in the cabinet room at Downing Street.
