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.
Where this sits: Health, United Kingdom → Health, Wales → NHS Wales → Hywel Dda University Health Board. Figures from data/services/nhs.json, generated 29 September 2026.
