In a climate of reducing public funding, there will inevitably be pressure for the historic environment sector in the future in terms of resourcing and resilience.  The Welsh Government needs to consider how to respond to these challenges and I want to ensure that the core functions of the sector bodies which are funded through the Housing, Regeneration and Heritage portfolio are shaped for coherent and sustainable delivery. I have therefore asked the Royal Commission to work with Cadw and CyMAL in 2012\-13 to consider how best to achieve this.


I have established a working group to create a process whereby the core functions of the Royal Commission could be merged with other organisations, including Cadw. The first meeting of the working Group was held on 27 April.  I have asked the working group for a report on an agreed way forward by July 2012\. I expect them to:


* establish the key activities and functions of the bodies funded by the Welsh Government which deliver its statutory responsibilities and published priorities
* identify pressures, in terms of future need, resourcing and resilience, impacting on those key activities and functions
* propose headline options to address those pressures for my consideration and develop a ‘route map’ for implementation


This is not a comfortable process, but I am taking this action because of the importance I attach to the work being carried out across the historic environment sector and my concern that it needs to be as robust as possible so as to withstand what is going to be an extended period of budget reductions. My intention is to ensure the budgets are efficiently targeted at the areas of greatest priority.


I am very aware that the prospect of major organisational change can be unsettling for staff of the organisation concerned.  I have instructed the working group to ensure that staff of both Cadw and the Commission are kept informed of the progress of the working group. Furthermore, a staff communications plan is being developed to ensure that all concerned are informed and involved as the process continues.  I will keep Assembly Members and other sector stakeholders informed of developments.

Mewn hinsawdd lle mae’r cyllid cyhoeddus yn gostwng, mae’n anochel y bydd pwysau ar sector yr amgylchedd hanesyddol yn y dyfodol o ran adnoddau a gwydnwch.  Mae angen i Lywodraeth Cymru ystyried sut i ymateb i’r heriau hyn a hoffwn sicrhau y bydd swyddogaethau craidd y cyrff yn y sector sy’n cael eu hariannu drwy’r portffolio Tai, Adfywio a Threftadaeth yn cael eu llunio i weithredu mewn modd cydlynol a chynaliadwy. Gan hynny, rwyf wedi gofyn i’r Comisiwn Brenhinol gydweithio â Cadw a CyMAL yn 2012\-13 i ystyried y ffordd orau i gyflawni hyn. 

 Rwyf wedi sefydlu gweithgor i greu proses y gellid ei defnyddio i uno swyddogaethau craidd y Comisiwn Brenhinol â sefydliadau eraill, gan gynnwys Cadw. Cafodd cyfarfod cyntaf y gweithgor ei gynnal ar 27 Ebrill.  Rwyf wedi gofyn i’r gweithgor gyflwyno adroddiad erbyn Gorffennaf 2012 ar ffordd ymlaen gytûn. Rwy’n disgwyl i’r gweithgor: 

 * sefydlu gweithgareddau a swyddogaethau allweddol y cyrff sy’n cael eu hariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru ac sy’n cyflawni ei chyfrifoldebau statudol a’i blaenoriaethau cyhoeddedig
* nodi’r pwysau a fydd yn effeithio ar y gweithgareddau a’r swyddogaethau allweddol hyn o  ran yr anghenion, yr adnoddau a’r gwydnwch at y dyfodol
* cynnig opsiynau bras i fynd i’r afael â’r pwysau hyn i minnau eu hystyried a datblygu ‘map llwybr’ i’w rhoi ar waith

 Nid proses gysurus mo hon, ond rwy’n cymryd y camau hyn am fy mod o’r farn bod y gwaith sy’n cael ei wneud ar draws sector yr amgylchedd hanesyddol yn bwysig ac oherwydd y gofid sydd gen i fod rhaid iddo fod mor gadarn ag y bo modd er mwyn gwrthsefyll yr hyn sy’n mynd i fod yn gyfnod estynedig o leihau cyllidebau. Y bwriad sydd gen i yw sicrhau bod y cyllidebau’n cael eu targedu ar y meysydd sydd â’r flaenoriaeth uchaf.

 Rwy’n ymwybodol iawn y gall unrhyw newid sefydliadol mawr sydd yn yr arfaeth beri gofid i staff y sefydliad o dan sylw.  Rwyf wedi cyfarwyddo’r gweithgor i sicrhau bod staff Cadw a staff y Comisiwn yn cael gwybodaeth gyson am hynt y gweithgor. Ar ben hynny, mae cynllun cyfathrebu staff yn cael ei ddatblygu i sicrhau bod pawb yn cael gwybodaeth ac yn cael eu cynnwys wrth i’r broses barhau.  Rhoddir gwybod yn gyson am y datblygiadau i Aelodau’r Cynulliad ac i randdeiliaid y sector.
