Pa gamau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i sicrhau bod landlordiaid preifat yn gwirio eu heiddo ar gyfer RAAC?

The Welsh Government has set up a cross-government group to oversee its response to this fast-moving and complex issue and its position to buildings across the public sector.

The Welsh Government does not intend to ask the private sector – residential or commercial – to formally review their estates for RAAC at this stage but are keeping the matter under consideration and making arrangements for provision of relevant information to the sector. 

Information on the presence of RAAC within social housing in Wales has already been requested from stock holding Local Authorities.  Registered Social Landlords have also been asked to make an assessment of their stock via Community Housing Cymru.

We continue to recommend that existing guidance from the Institution of Structural Engineers is used to investigate and assess the presence of RAAC in public buildings. Its supplementary guidance published this year includes advice on assessing risk, remediation and managing where RAAC is found to be present.
