Gibb’s Off

The troubled Chief Executive of Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, Rose Gibb has left her post as of last Friday 5th Oct.

Full details are not yet clear and many rumours abound.

As Chief Executive Rose Gibb was responsible for the hugely unpopular reconfiguration plans for the two hospitals which would see a down grading of Maidstone Hospital A&E services. Her plans had also included the loss of children’s and maternity services.

During her time she presided over the tragic long running out break of C. diff diarrhoea infection, where many elderly lost their lives. The Healthcare Commission were called in to investigate and their report is expected this week to be highly critical.
