“Rory, who provided medical oversight at the trust two days per week, took the decision to step down for personal reasons and in the light of the trust’s need to continue to focus over the coming 12 months on delivering its recovery plan.

“We would like to thank Rory for his expertise and commitment during a difficult period for the trust. The trust will announce Dr McCrea’s replacement in due course.

“SECAmb would also like to thank Non-Executive Director, Dr Katrina Herren for her hard work for the Trust after she took the decision to step down from her role for personal reasons.”
