Lord Kerslake resigned as chair of King’s College Hospital Trust citing the unrealistic financial approach of the government towards the NHS.
He will be replaced by Ian Smith, formerly of building firm Taylor Woodrow - and General Healthcare Group, the owners of BMI Healthcare, which runs 59 private hospitals and clinics nationwide.
