History of NHS Wales

NHS Wales (Welsh: GIG Cymru) is the publicly funded healthcare system of Wales. NHS Wales was originally formed as part of the same NHS structure created by the National Health Service Act 1946 but powers over the NHS in Wales came under the Secretary of State for Wales in 1969.[1] In turn, responsibility for NHS Wales was passed to the Welsh Assembly and Executive under devolution in 1999.
