Cadw and RCAHMW to remain as separate bodies

The Welsh Assembly has announced that the heritage bodies Cadw and the Royal Commission for the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales (RCAMHW) are to remain as separate bodies for now, and not to merge. The announcement is carried on the Heritage of Wales blog at http://heritageofwalesnews.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/new-measures-for-welsh-historic.html.

This contrasts markedly with the recent decision in Scotland to merge RCAMHS and Historic Scotland (see http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index/about/rcahmshsmerger.htm).
