I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with the talented staff in the trust as we all seek to improve care for patients'

Debbie Richards, trust chief executive, added: ‘We are very fortunate to have attracted someone with such a diverse, illustrious NHS career and I believe the Trust will undoubtedly benefit from that.'
