Aneurin Bevan University Health Board

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (Welsh: Bwrdd lechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan) is a local health board in Wales, headquartered in Caerleon. The Local Health Board (LHB) was launched in October 2009 through the merger of Gwent Healthcare NHS Trust and Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Newport, Torfaen and Monmouthshire LHBs. It is named after Aneurin Bevan, a Member of Parliament who represented the area and who was the Minister of Health responsible for the foundation of the National Health Service.[3]

The Board's total catchment area for health care services contains a population of about 600,000. Acute, intermediate, primary and community care and mental health services are all provided across a network of primary-care practices, community clinics, health centres, one learning disability hospital, a number of community hospitals, mental health facilities, one local general hospital and three district general hospitals – Royal Gwent, Nevill Hall and Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr. In 2010 Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan hospital replaced several small community hospitals in Blaenau Gwent.[4]

In April 2012 the Board was fined £70,000 for breaching patient confidentiality. It was the first NHS organisation to be fined under the Data Protection Act.[5][6]

The Grange University Hospital is due to open in Llanfrechfa in 2021. The plan is to centralise some acute services currently located at the Royal Gwent and Nevill Hall Hospitals.[7]

gollark: Also compact power supplies for phones and such.
