 Previous members of the executive team have left under less than auspicious circumstances.David Forster, the Policy and Strategy Director, resigned his position in 2010 after stating that the NHS employed "too many who are lazy, unproductive, obstinate, militant, aggressive at every turn" he also claimed some employees "couldn't secure a job anywhere outside the bloated public sector where mediocrity is too often shielded by weak and unprincipled HR policies".On 8 March 2016, the trust announced that the incumbent Chairman, Della Cannings QPM would be standing down from her position after six years with her final date in office being 9 May 2016.
