In April 1974 the administrative structure of the National Health Service in Wales was reorganised in two tiers under the provisions of the National Health Service (Reorganisation) Act 1973. Centrally, the Secretary of State for Wales has responsibility for health services through the Health and Social Work Department of the Welsh office and responsibility for the day to day running of the services falls to area health authorities.
