Ciitheroe Advertiser & T im e s , Th u rsd a y , November 19th,,2009 11 Hospitals NHS Trust chief executive resigns for personal reasons


THE Chief Executive of the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust has resigned.


Marie Burnham, who was appoint­


ed to the post in July 2008, is current­ ly on secondment as the Regional Director of Flu and NHS resilience.


However, she has decided to resign at the end of her secondment for person­ al reasons and has written to all the Trusts' staff to explain that her deci­ sion was due to changes in her per­ sonal ciurcumstances. Trust bosses said the announce­


Valley people enjoyed safer Bonfire Night


AFTER a Bonfire Night with half of last year’s call-out figures to bonfire and fire­ work incidents, Lancashire’s firefighters are thanking local people for following their Bright Sparx firework and bonfire safety campaign advice. The Lanc^hire Fire and Rescue Ser­


v ice ’s Fire Control centre in Preston, where all 999 calls are dealt with, record­ ed exceptionally low figures of 89 incidents where bonfires had got out of control, or where fireworks had started fires, com­ pared to 173 such calls last year. Lancashire’s Chief Fire Officer, Peter


Holland, commented: “ I t ’s extremely gratifying to have had our bonfire and fire­ work safety campaign work so well. “Working together on promoting the


‘Bright Sparx’ campaign well in advance of Bonfire Night, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, Lancashire Constabulary, local authorities and the media have ensured that our advice to enjoy Bonfire Night at an officially-sanctioned bonfire and firework display has got across better than ever before. The spectacle and scale of the bonfire and firework events that we have been encouraging people to attend has, as ever, been magnificent.” • On Saturday night, November 7th,


there were just 4'7 call-outs to bonfire/fire- work-related incidents, conpared to 67 in 2008. On Sunday night there were just 13 call-outs across the county, compared to 34 last year.
