A WEEK after the East of England Ambulance Trust came under fire for failing a Care Quality Commission inspection, it's chairman Maria Ball has announced her resignation with immediate effect.
The news was announced at a meeting this morning and vice-chair Paul Remington will now temporarily fill in until a permanent appointment can be made.
The trust had been given a week to respond to the CQC report published last week which found it failed to meet the adequate standard for care and welfare of people using its services.
"We must now concentrate on looking forward and focusing solely on how we improve our service to patients and better support our staff," said Mr. Remington.
