Chief Executive
Alun joined Healthcare Inspectorate Wales in April 2014 and led the organisation as Interim Chief Executive during the Covid-19 pandemic, one of the most challenging periods for healthcare in recent history. Alun was appointed as HIW's permanent Chief Executive in July 2022.
Alun has nearly 30 years of experience working in public sector improvement. He has previously worked for the Audit Commission, the Healthcare Commission and the Care Quality Commission (CQC), where he led CQC’s contribution to the Mid Staffs Public Inquiry.
As Chief Executive of HIW, Alun’s role is broad ranging, with the organisation acting as NHS inspectorate and regulator of independent healthcare in Wales. HIW also carries out a range of statutory roles under the Mental Health Act.
Alun’s commitment to integrity and impartiality is strongly aligned with HIW’s goal of being a trusted, independent voice that influences and drives meaningful improvement in healthcare.
