(MENAFN) Due to NHS funding issues, Lord Kerslake, chairman of King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in London, has resigned from his position.
The government is being impractical over problems facing the health service, as stated by the ex-chief of the civil service who declared that he was resigning on Sunday.
The financial performance of the hospital was declared as "unacceptable" by NHS Improvement, a spokeswoman also added "it is the worst in the NHS and continues to deteriorate."
Lord Kerslake released a statement saying "I do not do this lightly as I love King's but believe the government and regulator are unrealistic about the scale of the challenge facing the NHS and the trust. I want to pay tribute to the staff and their excellent patient care."
