ADVISORY BOARD

Dr Eleanor Roy is CIPFA’s Policy Manager for Health & Social Care, and is a firm believer in the central role of the finance and governance functions in driving public service improvement.  After almost 10 years supporting the scrutiny of public finance and constitutional change in the National Assembly for Wales, she decided to apply her experience to influencing, rather than scrutinising, public policy.  This experience means she knows how to be a ‘critical friend’ and understands the processes, politics and potential pitfalls involved in the sphere of public policy. Having previously spent a year working for CIPFA as a research consultant focusing on devolved policy at the time of the Scottish independence referendum, she is now leading on the health and social care policy portfolio.
