MORE than 150 people have nominated themselves to help run Southampton General and The Princess Anne Hospital.
They have all put their names forward to stand on the first ever Member’s Council of Southampton University Hospitals’ NHS Trust, responsible for running the two hospitals.
All of the 20,000 local people, patients, carers and staff who have already signed up as members to support the hospitals’ foundation trust bid can vote for their favourite candidate before March 25.
Independent regulator Monitor is reviewing Southampton’s bid and a decision whether to grant foundation trust status should be made within the next few weeks.
