"I am looking forward to getting to know colleagues across the organisation, understanding the opportunities and challenges within our work, and working together to build on the strong foundations already in place.

"The Joint Committee has made important progress since its establishment, and Juliet joins us at a time when there is strong momentum behind our work. I am confident that she will build on these foundations as we continue to strengthen collaborative commissioning for the benefit of patients across Wales.
