In Parliament

Thank you for your chairmanship this afternoon, Mr Hanson.

I beg to move, That this House has considered governance of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust.

I am grateful for my right hon.

From speaking to families, relatives and patients, it is clear that they are struggling to have confidence in the services provided by South

I thank my hon.

There is a lot of pressure from the public, patients and families for people to step down, and the resignation of the chairman of the board

My hon. Friend makes a sensible suggestion, which I echo.

I totally agree with my hon. Friend’s observation. There is a challenge here.

I agree that there is a real risk, as my hon. Friend says so eloquently, of this issue falling into a bureaucratic abyss.

My hon. Friend is insightful in her observation, although I do not think it takes a genius to point it out.
