Public Health Wales (United Kingdom) Ministry
Public Health Wales’s ambition is to achieve a “healthier, happier and fairer Wales”. Its purpose is to protect and improve health and wellbeing, and to reduce health inequalities for the people of Wales.
It shares this purpose with its stakeholders and partners, and can only achieve its vision by working together. Public Health Wales is a unique national NHS organisation delivering public health services in Wales and working closely with communities, the wider NHS, local authorities and other agencies including housing, police and fire and rescue services, Welsh Government and the population of Wales.
It leads the public health system to define effective services and prioritised actions; it mobilises others to develop community solutions to health problems; and we deliver services directly, where there are distinct advantages to doing so.
Its focus is to support the shift to a system-based approach centred around prevention and helping people to stay healthier for longer.
It provides public health knowledge, scientific expertise and intelligence to lead change, as well as the intellectual challenge to ensure public services focus on delivering health improvement and reducing inequality. It srun screening, health and healthcare improvement programmes, and provide microbiology and other health protection services.
