Ym mis Rhagfyr 2022, cyhoeddais y byddai Roger Lewis yn arwain grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen i ystyried trefniadau llywodraethu presennol Cadw a’r ddarpariaeth ehangach o wasanaethau treftadaeth gyhoeddus ledled Cymru.


Cyd\-destun yr adolygiad oedd y penderfyniad yn 2017 i gadw Cadw yn asiantaeth fewnol oddi mewn i Lywodraeth Cymru. Fel rhan o’r penderfyniad hwnnw, byddai Cadw yn elwa ar fwy o ryddid gweithredol a masnachol gan alluogi’r corff i weithredu’n fwy effeithiol ac effeithlon wrth gyflawni ei ystod eang o rolau a chyfrifoldebau.


Y bwriad oedd asesu llwyddiant y trefniadau hyn ar ôl pum mlynedd. Heddiw, rwy’n cyhoeddi’r adolygiad annibynnol o drefniadau llywodraethu Cadw.


Mae’r adolygiad yn cymeradwyo’r penderfyniad a wnaed yn 2017, mai aros o dan adain y Llywodraeth sydd orau ar gyfer Cadw, ond mae’n nodi nifer o argymhellion a fydd yn gwella perfformiad Cadw. Mae’r argymhellion yn amrywio o ran cwmpas ac yn cynnwys nifer sydd wedi’u bwriadu i helpu i egluro rôl Bwrdd Cadw a sut i addasu gweithdrefnau’r llywodraeth i ganiatáu i Cadw weithredu mewn ffordd sydd hyd yn oed yn fwy effeithiol. Mae sawl argymhelliad yn awgrymu sut i atgyfnerthu’r ffyrdd y mae Cadw yn gweithio gyda’i bartneriaid, ac mae eraill yn ystyried sut y gellir gwella rhai o weithgareddau amrywiol Cadw i gynorthwyo ei ddiben craidd.


Hoffwn ddiolch i Roger Lewis a holl aelodau’r grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen a roddodd o’u hamser a’u harbenigedd i gynnal yr adolygiad hwn. Rwy’n arbennig o ddiolchgar am yr ymgysylltu a’r ymgynghori gweithredol â staff Cadw a chyda’r rhanddeiliaid niferus sydd gan Cadw. Mae’n amlwg bod hyn wedi helpu i lywio’r adroddiad a’r 29 argymhelliad eang eu natur.


Byddaf yn treulio amser yn ystyried yr adroddiad yn fanwl ac yn ymateb i’r argymhellion cyn cyhoeddi ymateb yn gynnar yn 2024\.

In December 2022, I announced Roger Lewis would lead a task and finish group to consider Cadw’s current governance arrangements and the wider provision of public heritage services across Wales. 


The context for the review was the decision in 2017 for Cadw to remain within the Welsh Government as an internal agency. As part of that decision, Cadw would benefit from increased operational and commercial freedoms enabling it to function more effectively and efficiently in delivering its wide range of roles and responsibilities.


It was the intention to assess the success of these arrangements after five years. I am today publishing the independent review of Cadw’s governance arrangements.


The review endorses the decision made in 2017 that Cadw is best served by remaining in Government but identifies a number of recommendations that will enhance Cadw’s performance. The recommendations range in scope and include several that are intended to help clarify the role of the Cadw Board and the ways in which government procedures might be adapted to allow Cadw to operate even more effectively. Several recommendations make suggestions on how the ways in which Cadw works with its partners can be reinforced and others consider how some of Cadw’s wide\-ranging activities can be enhanced to assist its core purpose.  


I want to thank Roger Lewis and all the members of the task and finish group who gave up their time and expertise to undertake this review.  I am particularly grateful for the active engagement and consultation with Cadw staff and with Cadw’s many stakeholders. This has clearly helped inform the report and the 29 wide\-ranging recommendations. 


I will take time to consider the report in detail and respond to the recommendations before publishing a response in early 2024\.
