A Nottinghamshire council boss has announced he will be leaving the authority to take on the chief executive role at Nottingham University Hospitals Trust. Anthony May, the current chief executive of Nottinghamshire County Council, has confirmed the news with staff on Wednesday, May 11.
In his current role, Mr May is responsible for the council’s £1.1 billion budget and around 18,000 staff who work directly and indirectly for the council. He is also Chair of the Midlands Engine Operating Board and was for three years Chair of the Association of County Council Chief Executives.
A start date is still to be agreed, but NUH has said they were "working towards early autumn". Mr May said: “I am delighted to be appointed as the Chief Executive for the Trust, which is very important to local people and the wider system. My focus will be on the current challenges facing the Trust, including improvements in the maternity service, flow through the hospital, and the way the organisation is led."
