I’d like to thank the Minister for her statement, which underscores, I’d say, the need for much closer working between Sport Wales and the Welsh Government. I also welcome the recommendations in the report. Serious questions were raised by this review as to why Sport Wales was allowed to become so dysfunctional. It is now clear that a greater degree of closer integration between Sport Wales and the Welsh Government is needed. Historically, this has not happened, and Sport Wales has for far too long, I’d say, been allowed to operate at an unacceptable distance from ministerial oversight, which has been to the detriment of the public whom it exists to serve.

Can I ask the Minister: what oversight will you have going forward of Sport Wales’s activities and governance and what does success look like, Minister? What does success look like? Your statement contains a lot of warm words, but no key performance indicators and no targets for which we, as Assembly Members, can hold you and Sport Wales to account. The review recommended that the Welsh Government provides greater guidance on what is expected of them, and there is some uncertainty as to which document should provide the strategic direction for Sport Wales. Can you comment, please, on that as well?

You referred only briefly to the ‘Prosperity for All’ document. Would the Minister consider bringing forward an updated strategy that brings together and refreshes the themes in ‘Climbing Higher: Creating an Active Wales’ and the elite sport strategy, to clarify the overall remit of Sport Wales?

At a time when we’re near the bottom, I’m afraid, of the league tables for diabetes and obesity, and only a third of the population is physically active, it is clear that Sport Wales must have a greater focus on its remit to enhance community sport and public health as well as focusing on elite sport. So, to that end, and given that the report notes that there has been very little joint working between the two teams who lead on these areas in Sport Wales, what considerations have you given to the recommendations that the Welsh Government reviews the community sport and activity programme? Why do you feel that a single organisation is a better model than two separate organisations, one focusing on community sport and a separate elite sport organisation? I’m also aware there’s a great deal of consensus in this Chamber around the national football museum for Wales, potentially located in Wrexham, or indeed why not Newtown, as a founder member of the Football Association of Wales, but certainly in that region of Wales. I wonder if you could provide any update on the potential of this proposal, which of course would help to promote sporting excellence and create jobs and support the tourism industry in that particular region.

Finally, Minister, the report recommended that the Welsh Government should provide longer term budgets for Sport Wales, to offer three-year funding settlements to enable Sport Wales’s partners to develop their business plans more efficiently. Have you discussed this with the Cabinet Secretary for finance and how will you take this particular recommendation forward?
