The chairman of Ashford and St. Peter's Hospitals stepped down yesterday after six and a half years at the Trust.

Clive Thompson CBE, who has led the two hospitals since 2002, said: "No year has been the same, and it has always been rewarding and often humbling to be able to lead such a stimulating organisation.

"My last six and a half years have been extremely enjoyable and never dull, and I now leave you in good health, good heart, and in good hands."

At a farewell party on Monday he was presented with a caricature picture and his wife Joan received a bouquet of flowers.

Incoming Trust Chairman Aileen McLeish added: "Clive's contribution to Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals has been outstanding. He has brought to issues a broad perspective and made sure that the Trust has focused on the issues that matter."
