Calls for Kate Grimes, Chief Executive of Queen Mary's Hospital to Resign

John Hemming-Clark of Independents to Save Queen Mary's Hospital is today calling for the resignation of Queen Mary's Hospital's Chief Executive, Kate Grimes, following the decision of the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts to adopt A Picture of Health's Option 2 which will see the closure of Queen Mary's A&E, maternity unit and other vital services.

Commenting on his call John said "This woman is supposed to be fighting for us, the patients and local residents, but instead she calls the decision "a great opportunity" having been marched down the road of cutbacks and putting patients' lives at risk with, no doubt, the promise of another cushy managerial position somewhere else a few months down the line, leaving chaos in her wake.

Once again it has been left to the patients and local residents to fight for this decision to be reversed. And fight we will."
