Comrade Battle rewarded!

I don't suppose it should come as any surprise that another Labour apparatchik lands a plumb and well paid job as Chair of the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.

Maria Battle is the Senior Director of Consumer Focus Wales where she is the leader of the independent consumer rights champion with the focus on vulnerable consumers. Maria was formerly the Deputy/Acting Childrens Commissioner for Wales and Director of Age Concern Ceredigion.

Ms Battle is a long standing Labourite having stood twice for Labour in Ceredigion both for the Assembly and for Westminster in the 2000 by-election.

HT to @RedwinaHartski for the tip, "Pleased to appoint yet another Party loyalist to chair yet another public body."
