About Us

The Public Services Boards’ purpose is to improve economic, social, Environmental and cultural well-being within their areas by strengthening partnership work across all public services in Wales.

The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 has established the statutory Public Services Boards as replacements to the Local Services Boards. Each board will:

Assess the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being conditions in their area
Establish objectives that have been created to ensure that the Boards delivers the greatest input possible to local well-being.

The Boards are required to prepare and publish plans that state clearly their objectives and the steps they’ll take to achieve them – this is the Local Well-being Plan Cynllun Llesiant Lleol. The Board must consult extensively whilst developing this plan.

Each Board will review its plan on an annual basis to show progress
