Jeremy Miles, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Following an open and competitive process and in accordance with the Governance Code on Public Appointments, I am pleased to announce that I have selected Kirsty Williams as my preferred candidate to take up the role as the new Chair of Cardiff & Vale University Health Board.
The Board plays a key role in shaping the strategy, vision, purpose and culture of the organisation. It holds the organisation to account for service delivery, performance, delivery of strategy and value for money, and strategic development and implementation. The Chair will play a vital role in guiding the Board to establish the vision and strategic direction of Cardiff & Vale University Health Board, ensuring alignment with the Welsh Government’s strategic aims and policies.
This appointment is subject to pre-appointment scrutiny by the Senedd which will take place on 3 July 2025. Following the pre-appointment hearing, I will make my final decision on the appointment and update members accordingly.
