Selby and York Primary Care Trust has a new chairwoman.
The announcement that Wendy Bundy will take the chair comes four months after the previous chairwoman, City of York councillor Janet Looker, resigned.
Mrs Bundy, a magistrate in Selby, who lives at Elvington, near York, has been acting chairwoman since the end of February. Before that she was the organisation's vice-chairwoman.
The mother-of-three will take up her new appointment on July 1.
Mrs Bundy's appointment to the new role - a four-year fixed term appointment carrying a remuneration of £20,930 based on three-and-a-half days work per week - was made by the NHS Appointments Trust.
Mrs Bundy said: "I am delighted to have been appointed to the position of chairman of Selby and York Primary Care Trust.
"Over the last two years, the primary care trust has made some real achievements in the provision of local health care. It is my hope to build on those achievements and to continue to develop the relationships we have fostered."
