Letter: Chief executive's 'head' is just not good enough in overspend row - 06/02/10
RE: NHS Peterborough, the city's primary care trust.
RE: NHS Peterborough, the city's primary care trust. So, I trust Chairman Marco Cereste thinks that the resignation of Angela Barr (chief executive) is a good enough "head to roll" to satisfy the people of Peterborough where the 9.6 million overspend is concerned.
Mr Cereste however, has been the chairman, and was chairman of the previous North West Anglia Health Care Trust even before Angela Barr took the post of finance director.
At what point while chairing did he realise the start of the overspend?
At what point over the last 17 years has he taken action to halt this slowly progressing debt?
I would suggest that Mr Cereste has been in this post far too long, and seeing that he is paid for three working days a week at the Peterborough Trust, he must now have no real time in the 2 working days left to run Peterborough City Council.
Time for fresh blood in the Health Service Mr.Cereste.
Ultimately you headed and steered the trust into the 9.6 million overspend. Or did you not see the overspend coming in your 17 years of leadership?
What next you ask. Who's in charge of the council coppers?
Chair lifts and water taxis? Let's hope we are not in for 17 years of this nonsense!
