New leadership is coming to Noble's and Ramsey District Cottage Hospital.

John Coleman has been appointed Interim Director of Hospitals following the departure of Mike Quinn.

Meanwhile, Ms Yasmin Rafiq will take on the role of Interim Specialist HR Lead and brings extensive experience from working with NHS trusts in England.

Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford, says both bring with them excellent track records in health services and will 'bring fresh eyes and new thinking to a number of issues'.
