Previously, Neill served as director of Urgent and Emergency Care tiering support at NHS England and from 2018 to 2023 was managing director and deputy chief executive at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust.

EEAST chair Mrunal Sisodia said: “I am really looking forward to welcoming Neill to Team EEAST as our Chief Executive.

"He joins at a really important point for EEAST – we have made genuine progress on many staff, cultural and operational issues but now need to embed those changes and push on to make further progress.

"I know that his skills and wealth of experience will be hugely beneficial in supporting us with our next steps. I am extremely proud of our co-produced recruitment process and am very grateful to all our colleagues that have been part of this important process.”

Neill said: “I am delighted to be offered the opportunity to lead East of England Ambulance Service as its new Chief Executive and to continue the great work already started.
