The NHS chief executive has paid tribute to Her Majesty the Queen following her death yesterday.

Highlighting her dedication to service, Amanda Pritchard said:"I know I speak on behalf of the whole NHS when I say how incredibly saddened we are by the news Her Majesty The Queen has passed away.

The Queen dedicated her life to public service and it was our proudest moment when she awarded NHS staff the George Cross earlier this year, for their compassion and courage over the last 74 years but particularly during the pandemic."

She ended by sending her condolences to the Royal Family.
