The principal local government area of Bridgend is transferred from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Local Health Board and forms part of the area of Cwm Taf University Local Health Board. Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Local Health Board is renamed Swansea Bay University Local Health Board and Cwm Taf University Local Health Board is renamed Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board.
Amendments giving effect to these changes are made to the Local Health Boards (Establishment and Dissolution) (Wales) Order 2009 and the Local Health Boards (Constitution, Membership and Procedures) (Wales) Regulations 2009.

In addition, Cwm Taf Community Health Council is renamed Cwm Taf Morgannwg Community Health Council and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Community Health Council is renamed Swansea Bay Community Health Council. Amendments are also made to the number of members of those Councils.
This Order also makes amendments to other statutory instruments arising from the changes described above.
