A WELSH health board is aiming to save £65m this financial year and detailed plans are being drawn up to meet the target.

- RICHARD YOULE

The savings are needed at Swansea Bay University Health Board to help tackle a projected deficit of £76.6m in 2026-27 caused by an expanding workforce, pressures in urgent care and planned care.

A report from the health board described the £65m savings target as ‐exceptionally challenging‐ and said many cost-cutting proposals were in the pipeline or an early stage of development.

It said the health board, which runs hospitals and other clinical services in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot, needed to gain more confidence it could deliver these savings.

Board members heard this work was progressing at a meeting. ‐We've got to get the message out to staff about the need to hold on tight for the time being because it will come right over a period,‐ said one of them.
