The UK's biggest mental health NHS trust, which covers Broadmoor Hospital and units looking after the most vulnerable female patients, is in turmoil following widespread allegations of bullying, a critical Care Quality Commission inspection report and the sudden resignation of its chairman.
Nigel McCorkell, chairman of West London Mental Health NHS Trust, has unexpectedly resigned more than two years before the end of his term. Mr McCorkell, a chartered accountant, was reappointed for a second fixed four-year term in January 2013 but recently announced his retirement. He told staff he was stepping down because his term was due to end before the trust could achieve the "significant milestone" of achieving foundation status. Mr McCorkell said: "As a result, I have decided the best course of action is to retire now and make way for a new chair to see the trust through this critical next phase of its development."
