Ms Stuart

Hilary Rowland, Chief Executive, is on extended leave from her post at the Royal Liverpool Children's National Health Service Trust after what has been an exceptionally demanding period, both for her and for Alder Hey Children's Hospital. During this time, Ms Rowland remains in contact with regional officials at the NHS Executive North West and has their continuing support.
