Malcolm Couch ideal fit for role
Health Minister Howard Quayle says the appointment of Dr Malcolm Couch as the new Chief Executive Officer for the Department of Health and Social Care isn't such a surprising choice.
Currently Chief Financial Officer of the Treasury, he'll be taking over from Mark Charters on Monday (June 29).
Mr Charters resigned earlier this month, citing personal reasons.
Mr Quayle says Dr Couch is an ideal fit for the role:
Planning application for onshore wind farm still being developed
MU continuing to engage with stakeholders
Motorcyclist suffered fatal chest injuries in crash
Gareth Underwood was pronounced dead at Noble's Hospital
Trial for trio accused of producing Class A drugs to Island
Men from UK stopped by police in July 2025
Too early for 'direct action' over cost-of-living concerns says chief minister
Island's inflation rate jumps to 4.9%
Government gives assurance as inflation soars
'No immediate changes to gas prices or supply'
