Powys Teaching Health Board’s Chief Executive, Carol Shillabeer, will in addition to her current role take on that of Interim Strategic Director for People at Powys County Council, a joint statement announced 20 December 2016
She will assume the role with effect from 1st January 2017 on an interim basis. The role also includes the Statutory Director of Social Services responsibilities.
Professor Vivienne Harpwood, Chair of Powys Teaching Health Board, said: “We are determined to push forward the integration of our health and social care services, which will help us meet the growing demands of the county’s ageing population.
“This new interim arrangement recognises the strategic importance of integration to both organisations. It will allow us to build rapidly on the progress we’ve already made, and to work more closely together to decide the best way forward for integration in Powys.”
Councillor Barry Thomas, Leader of Powys County Council, said: “I am delighted that Carol will be taking on the role of Strategic Director of People alongside her role as Chief Executive of Powys Teaching Health Board. She is uniquely positioned to lead the integration of health and social care services in the county as we move into the exciting phase of collaborative working.
“An options appraisal will now identify the best delivery model for health and social services in Powys. This will ensure we use our combined resources most effectively whilst ensuring the best possible outcomes for our citizens.”
“As Carol will continue to fulfil her role as Chief Executive of Powys Teaching Health Board an Interim Operations Director will be appointed to support her in her interim role with the Council.”
