Powys Teaching Health Board is one of seven health boards in Wales that are responsible for planning, commissioning and providing local health services to address local needs.
Each year Powys Teaching Health Board receives a budget from Welsh Government to provide health services and improve health for 133,000 people living in Powys – a large rural county of 2000 square miles, approximately a quarter of the land mass of Wales.
The very rural nature of Powys means that the majority of local services are provided locally, through GPs and other primary care services, community hospitals and community services. But with such a sparsely populated area we do not have the critical mass of people locally to provide a District General Hospital within Powys. Therefore, Powys Teaching Health Board supports Powys residents to receive specialist hospital services in hospitals outside of the county in both England and Wales.
