one of those 40 new hospitals is Airedale, which is used by so many Colne and West Craven residents," he added.

"The Board is keen to build on the strong foundations established and ensure there is a seamless transition and minimum disruption to the business once the new Chief
Executive is in post," said the association.
Mark said: "After five years at the NPA and 40 years working for and leading national membership organisations, I am looking forward to living a different life.

organisation.
"Alongside our NPA Insurance company, the association is well set to help members face the future.
"Meanwhile there is much to do to ensure that 2023 is another good year in terms of the NPA delivering consistently for members. The process of changing Chief
Executive won't deflect us from our vital work."
