Manx Care Board Chair appointed

Thu, 10 Sep 2020


The Manx Government has appointed Andrew Foster as the first Chair of Manx Care.

Manx Care has been created as a result of the Manx Government’s undertaking to transform the Island’s health and social care system.

The Health and Care Transformation Programme is being delivered on the 26 recommendations set out in Sir Jonathan Michael’s Independent Review of the Island's Health and Social Care System. 

Mr Foster brings with him a wealth of relevant experience working in the UK health and care setting in both non-executive and executive roles.

Mr Foster has taken up the role this week and is keen to learn how the Island has delivered its health and care while working with the Manx Care team to deliver the outcomes as recommended with the independent review, led by Sir Jonathan Michael in 2019.

David Ashford MHK, Minister for Health and Social Care added: ‘I welcome Mr Foster to this new and exciting role. He is joining us as massive changes are underway and will help steer us through uncharted territory that ultimately will benefit the Manx population.’  I am confident we have chosen someone who will understand our people and environment and help us bring Manx Care to fruition.’
