Another governor has resigned from the board of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, citing a "farcical" response to last year's Mazars report.

John Green, Public Governor for the South West, is the latest to hand in a resignation letter to the trust.

In April this year former governor Mark Aspinall and chairman Mike Petter left over a damning CQC investigation in April that said Southern Health was still failing to protect the patients in its care.

It followed the Mazars report, published last year by NHS England, which found that hundreds of people had died unexpectedly while under the trust's care and their deaths had not been properly investigated.

Mr Green was one of several to crowd-source an extraordinary meeting of governors in defiance of new chairman Tim Smart in May.

At the start of 2016 he wrote that governance at Southern Health was "deeply flawed".

Southern Health said in a statement: "We appreciate the personal views John has expressed in his resignation letter, and his comments will be shared with the wider Board and Council of Governors."
