Six new directors of health trust
10:31am Monday 27th November 2006
SIX non-executive directors have been appointed by the new Worcestershire Primary Care Trust.
The PCT, which commissions and provides health services for the more than half a million residents of Worcestershire, was established last month when the three previous PCTs in the county were merged.
The new directors are:
* Paul Davis, a businessman from near Bromsgrove.
* Margaret Jackson, an urban regeneration expert, originally from Merseyside.
* Rob Parker, from Evesham, former finance director of Whitbread hotels.
* Peter Pinfield, from Droitwich a senior member of social services in Dudley.
* David Priestnall, from Kidderminster, who is currently vice-chairman of the Hanover Housing Group.
* Carol Thompson, from Malvern, a non-executive director of Heart of England Housing.
Many of the new non-executive directors have held similar posts at other health trusts. Remuneration is £7,500 a year.
Dr Bryan Smith, chairman of the PCT, said: "We now have an extremely strong, well-balanced and experienced team with which to address the challenges which face us."
