A local NHS trust has been named as one of the best in the country for tackling and cutting discrimination towards its ethnic-minority staff.

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust, which runs Pinderfields, Pontefract and Dewsbury Hospital, has been ranked third on a nationwide list compiled by the Health Service Journal (HSJ).
Mid Yorkshire welcomed the findings, saying it took a zero tolerance approach to discrimination, but insisted there was still much to be done .
The HSJ, a respected healthcare publication, assembled its league table based on feedback from staff surveys carried out across hospital trusts in 2020.
Len Richards, the current CEO at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, will take the helm at Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust.
He will replace Martin Barkley, who is retiring after five years in the top job at the trust.
Mr Richards has had a career in the health sector spanning more than 30 years and has overseen significant mergers which formed Barts Health in London and Central Manchester Trust.
But he left his first chief executive job at Wirral Hospitals Trust under a cloud in 2011 after 200 of his senior doctors passed a ‘no confidence’ motion in his leadership. The doctors were angry about decisions including a proposed merger of vascular surgery.
