His service management roles have covered a diverse range of services from neonatal care to sexual health and a number of specialised services.

In his spare time Jon enjoys walking his dog. He used to own a 1973 VW camper van and enjoyed many family camping holidays including going as far north as Mull and as far south as Barcelona. Jon sold the camper 3 years ago as it was getting too small for the family but having been told by his wife that he “hadn’t been happy since he sold it” he went out a year ago and updated to a 1990!
