4 Non-Executive Directors have been appointed to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board in preparation for the organisation’s formal establishment on 1st July.
Julie Pearce, Martin Spencer, John Denham and Dr Mojgan Sani have been appointed following the passing of the Health and Care Bill last month. The legislation creates integrated care systems and includes measures to create an NHS Integrated Care Board which will bring together the NHS locally to improve population health and establish shared priorities.
Lena Samuels, Chair designate for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board said:
“I’m delighted to announce these appointments and to welcome Julie, Martin, John and Mojgan to the Board.
“I look forward to working alongside them to help shape the long term plan for our local NHS services, ensuring that we focus on the issues that really matter to our communities and deliver real change for those who live in Hampshire and Isle of Wight.”

More fat cats creaming off the money, why oh why, we need frontline staff, not more damn directors. Shameful.
Just what we need. More highly paid pen pushers, setting targets and complaining about (or taking the credit for) the people who actually do the work. Brilliant.
What an utter waste of tax payers money…yet again
Could be much better spent on way more important issues
Hospitals don’t improve by employing more pen pushers or that come from a financial background, if you want to improve services let nurses and doctors run the hospitals that know the medical background and where the money is best spent !
Looking beyond the usual mindnumbing meaningless jargon they are there to move vital services off the island.There is nothing intergrated about having to take a unreliable ferry and a car journey to recieve vital treatment or having an exciting IT interface that prevents you from acually seeing a GP to get referred in tbe first place
How many more ‘organisations’ do we need ? I’ve given up trying to count them, never mind trying to find out what they actually do. Care Commissioning Groups, NHS Trusts, etc etc all with their full quota of Directors CEOs Managers etc,. What we really need is more Doctors at GP Surgeries.
