**Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: spending in cash and in 2025-26 prices, £ million**








Real terms use HM Treasury’s GDP deflator, 2025-26 prices. Breaks in the series: 2019-20: Wales: Bridgend moved from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg to Cwm Taf on 1 April 2019, forming Swansea Bay and Cwm Taf Morgannwg university health boards; their series start then. 2020-21: Health spending from 2020-21 to 2022-23 includes Covid-19 testing, vaccines and other pandemic costs. 2022-23: England: integrated care boards replaced clinical commissioning groups on 1 July 2022. 2023-24: England: Health Education England merged into NHS England on 1 April 2023 (DHSC core tables). 2026-27: England: 42 ICBs became 36 on 1 April 2026 after mergers. The allocations restate 2025-26 on the new boundaries; waiting-list figures by ICB start in April 2026. 2026-27: England: the government announced in March 2025 that NHS England would be merged into DHSC; later PESA editions and DHSC accounts may present its budget differently. 2026-27: Scotland: NHS Education for Scotland and NHS National Services Scotland merged into NHS Delivery on 1 April 2026.

Cash is as published. Real terms are in 2025-26 prices, using HM Treasury’s GDP deflator. Per resident divides by
ONS mid-year population for the area the body serves. Changes compare the same body in consecutive years.






## What is recorded alongside the money



These figures are published beside the funding, not as its result. Demand, geography, recording practice and
many other things differ between areas and change over time; none of these charts shows cause and effect.

Patients spending less than four hours in all emergency care facilities (major emergency departments and minor injury units) from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge, as a share of all attendances, in the month, by local health board. Each nation measures this differently, so it is never compared across nations. Target: 95% within four hours (Welsh Government target).

## What these figures do and don't show



- **Each nation runs its own NHS.** Budgets, targets and waiting-time measures differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so performance is compared within a nation, never across them.
- **Allocations are not spending.** An integrated care board’s allocation is what it is given to plan and buy care; outturn is what was spent. They are labelled and never added together.
- **Per head needs a named denominator.** Figures here divide by ONS resident population; the NHS’s own per-head figures often use GP-registered patients, which run higher.
- **Covid years are different.** Health spending from 2020-21 to 2022-23 includes testing, vaccines and protective equipment.
- **Nothing here shows cause and effect.** Money, staff and waiting times are shown side by side; demand, age and ill-health differ between areas.
