> 
> 
> I have a background in housing and social care and the partnerships we forge with those beyond the health board are important. Working more closely with our three local authorities, and integrating our services to better plan and deliver care closer to home will be a priority. I also want to advance our public health agenda with our third sector across the Cwm Taf Morgannwg region.
> 
> 
> In the NHS, we are fortunate to have what I believe is the most highly trained, skilled and compassionate workforce in the world. It will be an absolute priority to ensure we work with them so we can adapt to meet the changing needs of our population and help people live healthier lives. It is my intention to lead a board which listens and learns so we can support our staff to deliver the care they aspire to.
