Request:
Please could you provide me with answers to the following:
- A list of chief executives and their tenures for the past 20 years for your trust?
- If the trust has ever adopted ‘Patient First’ as an improvement methodology? If so when was this introduced and for how long?
Information disclosed:
Please note that University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust has been in operation since 1 April 2021 following the merger of Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust and Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust was formed in 2002 and Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was formed in 2009, following the merger of Royal West Sussex NHS Trust and Worthing and Southlands NHS Trust.
This is reflected in the attached information.
