NHS TDA chairman Sir Peter Carr said: “I am delighted that Anne has decided to join our board. She brings with her a wealth of experience as the chief executive of Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust…

“I am confident that she will be a real asset to all the NHS Trusts in the South as they work towards a sustainable, high-quality future.”
