Welsh Health Survey 2008

The survey is a major source of information about the health of people living in Wales, the way they use health services and the things that can affect their health. It meets a range of important needs, including the provision of data for monitoring health and health-related lifestyles and measuring progress towards targets. It also provides evidence for informing policies and underpinning strategies for promoting better health. Furthermore, it provides a direct measurement of need for health care resource allocation in Wales.
