Katrina Percy, Chief Executive of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust was celebrated as one of the most inspirational women in healthcare in the Health Service Journal...
"In November 2012 Katrina beat tough competition from other NHS leaders from across the country to win ‘Chief Executive of the Year’. "

Recently Ms Percy`s climb to stardom has taken a downturn. There have been an avalanche of protests since the Mazars report was leaked to the BBC about the 1000 and more unexplained deaths in the care of Southern Health NHS Trust.

Statement from Katrina Percy, Chief Executive of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust:
Does Ms Percy feel that, considering the comments of Jeremy Hunt - "The Government is profoundly shocked by the findings of the report which are totally unacceptable" - she should resign as Chief Executive?
Do other senior members of the Trust feel they should 'step down' over the comments by Mr Hunt of "a lack of leadership"?
"It is my job and that of the Board to continue to lead on the comprehensive programme of improvements which we have been making over the last 18 months. We owe it to the people we support to make these improvements and it is this that we are focussed on."
_Does Ms Percy and the Trust feel they have let down the most vulnerable members of our society?_
"We apologise to anybody who feels let down by any aspect of our service. The safety and welfare of the people we support is of utmost importance and we take seriously any part of service which has not met the high standards we expect. We have accepted that our processes have not always been as good as they need to be and are committed to improving them."
What does she say to the families of the 1,454 people who have died unexpectedly between April 2011 and March 2015?
"I say that we have already made significant improvements to the way we report and investigate unexpected deaths, and are working extremely hard to encourage other organisations to do the same. "
The full report - not the leaked one - will be released before Christmas...

Katrina Percy will cling onto power and her salary for as long as her can regardless of any damming indictment of her failing as a CEO. Responsibility, decency, nope, just self serving git. Should have gone into politics love , you would have done well!
