Under the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006, Local Health Boards are responsible for planning and delivering services to meet the needs of their local populations, including managing workforce capacity and the scheduling of operations. As such, this level of operational detail sits with Hywel Dda University Health Board, which manages Bronglais Hospital.
