the former Chair, Sarah Compton Bishop, for her time and dedication to the
Board and welcomed Graham Bell to his new role as Vice-Chair of the Board.
Sarah Compton Bishop
advised that she was working to expedite the recruitment process for NHS
Highland Board Executive Membership as it was normally a lengthy process and
that she was also working to ensure that there was representation from Argyll
and Bute on the NHS Highland Board and putting planning in place for the future
to ensure that this remained the process. She advised that she would remain as
a member of the IJB in the interim to support the transition period.
