Re-elected

Crouch was elected unopposed to reassume his place on the committee following a by-election for the seat elected by members in the West Midlands triggered by his own resignation at the end of 2013. He had served on the PEC from its inception in July 2012. Crouch is a general dental practitioner in Birmingham and also serves as a member of the BDA’s General Dental Practice Committee.

His election sees the PEC restored to its full complement of 15 members. The committee is currently temporarily led by acting chair Robert Kinloch, with the election of a permanent chair expected to take place when the committee meets at the end of March.
