Over the past 10 days Mr Etheridge has been featured in the media using his previous position as a Governor to gain coverage. During his time as a Governor at the Trust his attendance at statutory Council meetings was sporadic and therefore he is unaware of much of the excellent work done by the Council of Governors. He resigned as Governor because he was opposed to the hospital parking charges and we respected his position on this. At no time did he raise issues of patient care with Trust management.
