Casgliadau i gloi CERD 2024, paragraff 44
Argymhelliad Cymreig clir
Dylai’r Llywodraeth:
(a) Mynd i’r afael yn effeithiol ag anghydraddoldebau strwythurol a rhwystrau gwahaniaethol mewn ffactorau cymdeithasol sy’n dylanwadu ar ganlyniadau iechyd, gan gynnwys newid yn yr hinsawdd a pheryglon iechyd amgylcheddol, a gwella canlyniadau iechyd. Dylai hefyd sicrhau bod lleiafrifoedd ethnig yn gallu cael mynediad at ofal o safon sy’n dderbyniol yn ddiwylliannol ac sy’n ymateb i ryw;
(b) Datblygu a gweithredu mesurau pellach i amddiffyn lleiafrifoedd ethnig, yn seiliedig ar y gwersi a ddysgwyd o’r pandemig COVID-19. Mae’r Pwyllgor yn tynnu sylw at ei ddatganiad o dan ei weithdrefn rhybudd cynnar a chamau brys am y diffyg mynediad teg ac anwahaniaethol at frechlynnau COVID-19;
(c) Gymryd mwy o gamau i leihau cyfraddau marwolaethau babanod a mamau ar gyfer lleiafrifoedd ethnig;
(d) Atgyfnerthu mesurau i frwydro yn erbyn gwahaniaethu hiliol yn effeithiol wrth ddefnyddio gorchmynion cadw gorfodol a thriniaeth gymunedol, yn arbennig drwy newid y cyfreithiau perthnasol, gan gynnwys Deddf Iechyd Meddwl 1983.
Original UN recommendation
Recalling its previous concluding observations, the Committee recommends that the State party:
(a) Take effective measures to address structural inequalities and discriminatory barriers in the context of the social determinants of health, including climate change and environmental health hazards, improve health outcomes and ensure the accessibility and availability of culturally acceptable and gender-responsive quality health-care services for persons belonging to ethnic minorities, throughout its jurisdiction;
(b) Develop and implement further measures to protect ethnic minorities on the basis of the lessons learned from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The Committee reiterates the calls that it made in its statement and decision on the lack of equitable and non-discriminatory access to COVID-19 vaccines, under its early warning and urgent action procedures;
(c) Take further and effective steps to decrease infant and maternal mortality rates among ethnic minorities;
(d) Strengthen its measures to effectively address racial discrimination in the use of compulsory detention and community treatment orders, notably by amending the relevant legislation, including the Mental Health Act 1983.
