Health Solutions Wales Information and Statistics

Health Solutions Wales (HSW) is an NHS Wales Organisation, a Division of Velindre NHS Trust.

HSW is based at Brunel House in Cardiff City Centre and has offices at Caerphilly Business Park. The organisation is responsible for a wide range of specialist services which can be described against four main service headings:

The main work of the Information Products Unit (IPU) is the collection, management, and analysis of data held in a number of national databases, and the production and distribution of information derived from these databases. Specialist staff in the unit also provide advice in the fields of data standards and clinical coding. 

IPU manages and maintains the main NHS Wales repository for all-Wales health data, especially that relating to hospital activity. The Health Solutions Wales Information and Statistics internet site has been developed to support the information requirements of NHS, Government and other Public Bodies, Researchers and the General Public. 

From here it will be possible to view and/or download information relating to hospital admissions, outpatient and A&E attendances and GP consultations. Other health data will also be made available on births and deaths, child health, drug misuse and congenital anomalies.
