Welsh Health Geography

The current structure of health administration in Wales came into effect on 1 April 2003. There are 22 Local Health Boards (LHBs), one in each of the Welsh unitary authorities. These LHBs report to 3 New Regional Offices (North Wales; Mid and West Wales; South East Wales) within the NHS Wales Department of the National Assembly.

LHB names and codes. Note though that ONS Geography does not hold codes for the Regional Offices.

The structure prior to 1 April 2003

Before 1 April 2003 Wales had 5 Health Authorities, which reported to the NHS Wales Department of the National Assembly. The Health Authorities were divided into a total of 22 Local Health Groups (LHGs), one in each of the Welsh unitary authorities.
