New title for secretary of Welsh Executive
Cath O’Brien: invaluable experience |
Cath O’Brien, secretary of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Welsh Executive, has been given a new title — director for Wales.
The change follows a recommendation
of the Society’s Devolution
Review Group that the director of the Scottish Department and the secretary
to the Welsh Executive should have common titles and equivalent roles
(PJ, 12 February, p185).
Ms O’Brien returned to the Welsh Executive on 4 July after a five-month
secondment to the Health and Social Care Directorate of the Welsh Assembly
Government. While there she worked on the development
of care pathways for sufferers of chronic illnesses (PJ, 12 February, p192).
Commenting on her return, Ms O’Brien said that her secondment had
proved invaluable and she was looking forward to using the experience
and knowledge she had gained for the benefit of the Society and the pharmacy
profession.
