The Local Health Boards (Constitution, Membership and Procedures) (Wales) Regulations 2003
The strategy document “Improving Health in Wales”, published by the National Assembly for Wales in February 2001, signalled the intention to abolish the existing five Health Authorities in Wales on 31st March 2003 and to create Local Health Boards (“LHBs”) to which the National Assembly may delegate the functions of Health Authorities and other functions of the National Assembly relating to the health service.
