Cathedral turns blue for NHS’ 70th

SALISBURY Cathedral was lit blue on Tuesday, 5th July, to mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the NHS.

Stacey Hunter, CEO at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Having worked for the NHS for 36 years, I remain exceptionally proud of everything our colleagues deliver for patients and our community.

“The NHS is all about the people who work in it, who choose to dedicate their time and expertise to support our communities at some of their happiest times, but also in some of their most difficult times.

“It has been a challenging few years but despite this, our teams continue to give their best, and every single week people write to me to tell me of the fantastic care and support they have received in our hospital.

“I wouldn’t want to work anywhere other than in the NHS, upholding the principle of care free at the point of need for everyone, and I look forward to it continuing to thrive for the next 75 years. It is one of the finest institutions in our country.”
