Key appointments will drive health and social care reform agenda

Wed, 02 Oct 2019

The Department of Health and Social Care has made two high level appointments.

Kathryn Magson has been appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer, on a secondment from her current role as Chief Executive at NHS Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).

She will take over from current Interim CEO Angela Murray in January 2020.   

John Spicer has been appointed Health and Care Transformation Director following Tynwald’s unanimous agreement to implement all recommendations arising from Sir Jonathan Michael’s independent review of the Island’s health and social care system.

Mr Spicer has extensive experience in a variety of senior roles in health and care services in England and takes up his role leading the Transformation team in the Cabinet Office this week.

Chief Secretary Will Greenhow said: ‘The Transformation Programme is charged with creating a sustainable system of health and care services for generations to come, and it will take drive, determination and a steady hand to bring about essential reforms. I am confident John is the right man for the job.
