Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Health boards are responsible for the planning and delivery of services. This includes identifying where services need to be located to serve local needs.
Since contract reform started in April 2022, more than 22,500 new patients have received a full course of NHS treatment and a further 10,000 appointments have been delivered for new patients to receive urgent care in Powys Teaching Health Board.
