Chief Executive’s Statement – Issued 8th September 2022

It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Her Majesty was a great supporter of the NHS, most recently awarding the George Cross to our incredible staff for more than 70 years of public service including their exceptional courage and compassion during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Our thoughts are now with her family as we pay tribute and give thanks to Queen Elizabeth ll for her unwavering commitment to us all.
