NHS WALES HEALTH BOARD

Wales is the birthplace of the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). Mr Aneurin Bevan, the UK's Health Minister and a patriotic Welshman, developed the National Health System in 1948, based on the ideals of equal access and care based on need rather than ability to pay.

 

The National Health Service (NHS) is presently Wales' largest employer, with seven Health Boards and three NHS Trusts providing healthcare to the country's three million residents.

 

In Wales, the seven Local Health Boards (LHBs) now plan, secure, and deliver healthcare services in their respective areas, replacing the 22 LHBs and seven NHS Trusts that formerly shared these responsibilities.
