Election brings three changes to Scottish Executive

The annual election of six members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Scottish Executive has resulted in three changes, with Elizabeth Grant, Harry McQuillan and Margaret Ryan all elected for the first time. The other three vacancies have been filled by the re-election of Alister MacLaren, Pat Murray and Andrew Taylor.

The three new executive members replace James Bunney, Elizabeth McConechy and Graeme Millar, none of whom sought re-election. Mrs Grant is pharmacy health promotion co-ordinator for Greater Glasgow Health Board and lead pharmacy audit facilitator for Argyll and Clyde Health Board. Mr McQuillan is a primary care pharmacist with Boots The Chemists. Mrs Ryan is senior prescribing adviser for Lomond and Argyll Primary Care Trust.

On June 20, at the new executive’s first meeting, the chairman, Alison Strath, thanked Dr Bunney, Mrs McConechy and Mr Millar for their service to the executive over the past years. Between them they had amassed 42 years’ service, she said.

During the meeting, the executive unanimously elected Miss Strath to serve as chairman for a second year. David Thomson was unanimously re-elected as vice-chairman. The executive also decided to reject a motion that future candidates for election to the executive should be required to provide a policy statement.
