The health board serves Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham
A multi-million pound fraud investigation into Wales' largest health board has concluded no further action needs to be taken.
Specialist investigators were called into Betsi Cadwaladr health board, serving north Wales, last December.
The probe came after auditors discovered at least 拢122m was allegedly not properly accounted for.
The heath board said there would now be an internal review of the matter, "in line with its procedures and policies".
A spokesperson said: "The NHS Counter Fraud Wales investigation connected to the auditor general's qualified opinion of the health board's 2021-22 financial accounts has concluded and no further action is being taken."
The NHS Counter Fraud Service is an independent body which investigates allegations which can include economic crime in the NHS, including fraud, bribery and corruption.
Betsi Cadwaladr health board was returned to special measures in February.
