THE new chairman of the NHS trust that runs mental health services in
Wiltshire, Tony Gallagher has pledged that the organisation will be more
transparent after it was criticised in a report
earlier this year.
An independent review into the governance of the Avon and Wiltshire
Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) found that the trust was
“centralist in style, with improvement required in clinical
engagement and poor relationships with stakeholders". Following the
report, which was commissioned by the Strategic Health Authority, there
were changes in the board leadership with chairman
Felicity Longshaw resigning in April and the retirement of chief
executive Laura McMurtrie last month. In May NHS Wiltshire announced it
was considering retendering mental health services due to
concerns it had about AWP.
