Amanda Pritchard is resigning as the first female CEO of NHS England, a role she assumed during the Covid pandemic in 2021. Her resignation follows discussions in Parliament regarding her leadership amid significant proposed reforms to the NHS. Pritchard expressed in her resignation statement the difficulty of her decision and the privilege of leading the NHS through its most challenging times. Sir James Mackey has been appointed as the Transition CEO, while Health Secretary Wes Streeting and NHS Chairman Richard Meddings praised Pritchard's contributions and leadership under extraordinary circumstances.
"It has been an enormous privilege to lead the NHS in England through what has undoubtedly been the most difficult period in its history."
"Amanda can be enormously proud of the leadership she has given in the face of the biggest health emergency for our country in modern history."
"Under her leadership, the NHS has delivered a huge amount for patients - in the face of pandemic recovery, unprecedented strikes and consecutive even busier winter periods."
