Trust Board

Management accountability for the Trust rests with the Chief Executive, who is part of the Trust Board - this is made up of Executive and Non-Executive members and is chaired by the Trust’s Chairman.

Non-Executive Directors are ‘lay’ people who help to represent the perspective of local people and provide challenge and support to the Executive Team’s work.
