TWO Redditch health heavyweights have joined a taskforce which is masterminding the biggest shake-up of care services ever seen in the county.

John Calvert and Dr Bill Borastero are members of the Health and Social Care Task Group set up by the county council, Worcestershire Health Authority and health trusts to look at how services can be improved by pooling resources.

Patients, service users and carers can have their say about initial proposals during a three-month consultation exercise this summer.
