That shows who actually controls the areas each health board covers.  It
doesn't state what areas those boards cover, just a change to the boundaries
of some of them.  However, that prompted me to search for *gov wales*
*boundaries* and that led to an Office of National Statistics page that
is not very usable.

This shows that each Principal Area is covered by one health board

That is probably the stuff on the ONS page but under an esri URL.  The ONS
stuff
is released under the OGL, but that has references to OS opendata licence
for
boundaries.
