Thank you for your recent request dated 11th April 2022. We have answered your questions below, as Public Health Wales. However, we feel that your request would be better directed to the Local Health Boards where the majority of nurses are employed. 1.(a) Who is the head of procurement at Public Health Wales , Cardiff responsible for approving Nursing agency usage? 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 or their recruitment processes.
