University Hospitals Sussex CEO Resigns Amid Manslaughter Investigation

News summary

The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust faces intense scrutiny amid a police investigation into alleged medical negligence linked to more than 90 patient deaths and serious harm cases. Chief Executive George Findlay, who has been with the trust for over ten years and served as CEO for three, announced his resignation, which the trust says is unrelated to the ongoing investigation. Operation Bramber, led by Sussex police, is examining potential corporate and individual manslaughter charges based on whistleblower reports and over 200 cases dating from 2015 to 2021. The trust has been criticized for a 'culture of fear' and bullying, with whistleblowers alleging retaliation after raising safety concerns. Concurrently, London Health Sciences Centre in Canada is suing its former CEO and senior administrators over an alleged $50-million procurement fraud scheme involving inflated contracts and forged documents. These legal and ethical challenges highlight significant issues of accountability and governance within major healthcare institutions.
