The documentation relating to this appointment is currently being processed by my Department and will be forwarded to the Western Health Board as soon as possible. The Western Health Board can then forward the relevant documentation to the Local Appointments Commission. The commission will then advertise this post, conduct interviews, and recommend a candidate to fill the post.
