Thank you for your recent request dated 28th March 2023. Public Health Wales does not use agency for our Screeners or Clinical Skills Trainer staffing. It is important to note that Public Health Wales is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. This is NOT the same as NHS Wales. As an organisation we have no jurisdiction over the activities of Health Boards and frequently do not have access to the data that they produce. I have provided contact details for each Health Board below for you to contact.
