Lillian Boyle, Quintin Gill, Juliet Holt, Adrian Kermode, Jo Overty and Ian Townsend have been appointed for a three-year term.  

The HSCC, which now has nine members, will meet for the first time following an induction process for the new members.

Health and Social Care Minister Lawrie Hooper said: "Following the recent HSCC transformation, to focus on making sure that patient voices and experiences are heard, we were keen to attract a range of experienced professionals.

"We were really pleased to receive 20 applications for the posts and it was very tough to narrow down the high-quality applicants to just these six members.

"I’d like to welcome them to the committee and I look forward to working with them to continually improve and modernise our health and social care services."

Existing members Lee Clark, Margret Simpson and Carol Bamford are continuing in their roles.
