Last year, the Health Professional Education Investment (HPEI) panel, which was led by Mel Evans OBE, concluded its review of the investment the Welsh Government makes in healthcare professional education and whether it is delivering the right results for Wales and our health service.


The review made a number of recommendations, which I have accepted. However, further work must be carried out into the final recommendation – the creation of a single body for workforce planning, development and commissioning of education and training.


In a written statement published in November, I was clear about the need for change, underpinned by a single flexible, funding stream freed from arbitrary and historical boundaries. Any new arrangements must ensure investment and planning decisions about education and training are based on the needs of patients and local populations and a holistic approach to the workforce.


In taking this work forward we need to ensure that the solution, while drawing from existing models elsewhere, is right for Wales.  

Professor Robin Williams CBE, FRS, former vice chancellor of Swansea University, has agreed to take the work forward to scope the new model, including its costs and benefits. 


Robin has a wide range of experience, which includes participation in the oversight of the implementation of Sêr Cymru, a £50m programme of investment in the Welsh research base and as chair of the planning board to produce an independent report on a model for the Coleg Ffederal – now Y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. He was awarded the CBE in 2004 for his contribution to research and to higher education and now chairs the Science Advisory Council for Wales. Robin has served on Ministerial advisory groups for economic development and education in Wales and was a member of the group established to review higher education.


Robin will be supported by a small project team within the Welsh Government and will have access to a small group of individuals with specialist knowledge in aspects of the NHS workforce, the delivery and design of education and training programmes and curriculum and regulation.  

  

Professor Donna Mead OBE, vice chair of Cwm Taf University Health Board, Dr Alun Rees, the inaugural vice president for Wales of the Royal College of Physicians and Professor Ceri Phillips, head of the College of Human and Health Sciences at Swansea University have agreed to act as expert advisors to Robin as this work progresses.


As I confirmed in my last statement the views of the wider stakeholder population will be considered and mechanisms put in place to ensure progress is communicated and contributions sought where appropriate.

Y llynedd, daeth yr adolygiad i ben gan y panel Buddsoddi mewn Addysg i Weithwyr Iechyd Proffesiynol (HPEI), o dan arweiniad Mel Evans OBE, o’r buddsoddiad y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud i addysg gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol, ac a yw’n sicrhau’r canlyniadau iawn i Gymru a’n gwasanaeth iechyd.  

Gwnaeth yr adolygiad nifer o argymhellion, ac rwyf wedi eu derbyn.  Fodd bynnag, mae’n rhaid gwneud rhagor o waith ar yr argymhelliad olaf – sef creu un corff ar gyfer cynllunio a datblygu’r gweithlu, a chomisiynu addysg a hyfforddiant.    
Mewn datganiad ysgrifenedig a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Tachwedd, dywedais yn glir bod angen newid, yn seiliedig ar un ffrwd gyllido hyblyg, yn rhydd o ffiniau mympwyol a hanesyddol.  Byddai’n rhaid i unrhyw drefniadau newydd sicrhau fod penderfyniadau ynghylch buddsoddi a chynllunio addysg a hyfforddiant yn seiliedig ar anghenion cleifion a’r boblogaeth leol ac agweddau holistaidd tuag at y gweithlu.     
Wrth ddatblygu’r gwaith hwn, mae angen inni sicrhau bod yr ateb, tra’n tynnu ar enghreifftiau o fannau eraill, yn iawn i Gymru.    
Mae yr Athro Robin Williams CBE, FRS, cyn is\-ganghellor Prifysgol Abertawe, wedi cytuno i fynd ymlaen â’r gwaith o baratoi’r model newydd, gan gynnwys y costau a’r manteision.  

Mae gan Robin brofiad eang, sy’n cynnwys cymryd rhan yn y gwaith o gynnal trosolwg o’r rhaglen Sêr Cymru, rhaglen o fuddsoddiad gwerth £50 miliwn yn y sylfaen ymchwil yng Nghymru, a phrofiad fel cadeirydd y bwrdd cynllunio i gynhyrchu adroddiad annibynnol ar fodel ar gyfer y Coleg Ffederal –  Y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol bellach. Cafodd CBE yn 2004 am ei gyfraniad i waith ymchwil ac i addysg uwch, ac mae bellach yn gadeirydd y Cyngor Cynghori ar Wyddoniaeth yng Nghymru.  Mae Robin wedi gweithio ar sawl grŵp cynghori Gweinidogol ar ddatblygu economaidd ac addysg yng Nghymru, ac roedd yn aelod o’r grŵp a sefydlwyd i adolygu addysg uwch.  

Bydd Robin yn cael ei gynorthwyo gan dîm prosiect bychan o fewn Llywodraeth Cymru ac yn cael cymorth grŵp bychan o unigolion sydd â gwybodaeth arbenigol am agweddau ar weithlu’r GIG, ac yn darparu a chynllunio rhaglenni addysgu a hyfforddi, a’r cwricwlwm a rheoleiddio.   

Mae yr Athro Donna Mead OBE, is\-gadeirydd Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Cwm Taf, Dr Alun Rees, is\-lywydd cyntaf Cymru Coleg Brenhinol y Meddygon, a’r Athro Ceri Phillips, pennaeth Coleg Gwyddorau Iechyd a Dynol Prifysgol Abertawe wedi cytuno i fod yn gynghorwyr arbenigol i Robin wrth i’r gwaith ddatblygu.  

Fel a gadarnhawyd yn fy natganiad diwethaf, bydd safbwyntiau ehangach y rhanddeiliaid yn  cael eu hystyried, a chaiff dulliau eu sefydlu i sicrhau bod datblygiadau yn cael eu rhannu â hwy ac y gofynnir am gyfraniadau fel y bo hynny’n addas.
