ABM Health Board came into being on 1st October 2009 as a result of a reorganisation within the NHS in Wales and consists of the former Local Health Boards (LHBs) for Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend and also the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University NHS Trust. Its budget stands at £1.3b and it employs around 16,000 staff.
It is responsible for the provision of primary care, and integrated secondary care hospital services, mainly for the residents of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend. The Health Board has four acute hospitals providing a range of services; these are Singleton and Morriston Hospitals in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot Hospital in Port Talbot and the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend. ABM acts as the service provider for Wales and the South West of England in respect of Burns and Plastic Surgery. Forensic Mental Health services are provided to a wider community which extends across the whole of South Wales, while Learning Disability services are provided from Swansea to Cardiff. A range of community based services are also delivered in patients’ homes, via community hospitals, health centres and clinics.
The Health Board contracts with independent practitioners in respect of primary care services which are delivered by GPs, Opticians, Pharmacists and Dentists. There are 77 general practices across the ABM.
