Explained in plain English
Where does the money come from?
The money for the NHS, including Public Health Wales managing the Barry hepatitis A outbreak, primarily comes from general taxation. This means a portion of income tax, National Insurance, and VAT you pay contributes to funding these vital services. It's a collective pot to ensure healthcare is available to everyone.
