Marie Gabriel, the new Chair of Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT), doesn’t mess about.
Antek Lejk should never have been appointed in the first place with his track record and against the wishes of service users and carers.
As commissioner, Antek Lejk starved NSFT of funds.
As Chief Executive, Antek Lejk led the mental health trust to its third Inadequate rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), abandoning the trust to go on holiday while the inspectors did their work.
If Antek Lejk works as hard at ELFT as he did at NSFT he’ll certainly leave an impression.
Is NSFT paying Antek Lejk’s outrageous £175,000 salary for the next six months while he is on ‘secondment’ at East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT)?
Why can’t disastrous NHS executives just be fired?
