Information provided for the answer:

Thank you for your recent request dated 11th July 2023.

Public Health Wales NHS Trust do not provide the services of local health boards. We don't employ doctors, nurses and HealthCare Assistants in the traditional sense of providing health care. The majority of our roles are office or lab based. Those working in clinical settings are usually in an advisory capacity.

The figures below are for the number of adverts we had rather than the FTE/vacancies as unfortunately this information is no longer available on our Application Tracking System.
