Marie Burnham reshuffles the Acute trust team

I have been sent a certain amount of email correspondence lately about the future of the management team of the North Cumbria Acute Hospitals trust which runs West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven and the Cumberland Infirmary at Carlisle.

Marie Burnham, the trust CEO, was giving a presentation to Copeland Councillors today on the proposals for Foundation Trust status for our acute hospitals, so I asked her about changes to the Trust leadership through this process.

She explained that she has reshuffled the Executive Directors and senior management team to meet new challenges but expects to see the proposals through herself.
