Public Health Wales NHS Trust do not provide the services of local health boards, such as Adult Nursing, Mental Health, or Community Hospital services. We don't employ nurses in the traditional sense of health boards and so wouldn't utilise agencies.

It is important to note that Public Health Wales is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. This is NOT the same as NHS Wales. As an organisation we have no jurisdiction over the activities of Health Boards and frequently do not have access to the data that they produce.

I have provided contact details for each Health Board below for you to contact.
