Earlier this week the Chairman, Dr Joe McGilligan, and Vice Chairman, Dr Patrick Kerr, presented the ESyDoc Development Plan for 2012-14 to colleagues from NHS South of England and NHS Surrey. This was part of the SHA's Pipeline process to ensure that CCGs like ESyDoc are ready to take on responsibility for commissioning health services. Joe and Patrick were ably supported by two other Board Members, Steve Williams and Elaine Jackson.
