ELECTIONS have taken place to find governors for a mental health trust.
North Essex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust held its first major elections, run by Electoral Reform Services, to replace governors whose three year term ends on March 31.
Mary St Aubyn, chairman of the trust and the Council of Governors, said: “I faced these elections with mixed feelings. Whilst being a sad time saying farewell to past governors, I am also excited to be working with new and re-elected governors.
“We have been a foundation trust for just under three years and, with the input from our governors, we continually grow and improve our services. The partnership our board has with our council is truly amazing.”
Governors represent the interests and views of local people and staff and provide members of the public with information about the trust, its vision and its performance.
