We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our Chair, Mark Yates after a short illness.

Mark served the Trust with great distinction and was widely respected for his leadership, vision, and compassion. His dedication to patients, staff, and the wider community has left a lasting legacy.

Chief Executive Ellen Rule said, “We are heartbroken by the loss of Mark. He was a remarkable leader and colleague who gave so much to our Trust and our community. His contribution will never be forgotten, and our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time.”

The Trust will work with Mark’s family to arrange an opportunity for colleagues, partners and the community to pay tribute.

We ask that the privacy of the family is respected.
