Public Health Wales (PHW) does not hold this information as procurement for Health Boards/Trusts within NHS Wales is managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP). They may hold this information; I have provided their contact details at the end of this response. 

 

PHW does not employ any of the listed staffing groups. 

 

PHW is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. Therefore, do not have access to this information. As an organisation we have no jurisdiction over the activities of Health Boards and other NHS Wales organisations. This means we do not routinely have access to the data they produce.  I have provided contact details for all the Health Boards (and NWSSP) below, you would need to contact them individually for the information they hold.
