Acurity Health appoints Ian England as chief executive

Acurity Health Group, the private hospital operator formerly known as Wakefield Health, named Ian England as chief executive, replacing Andrew Blair.

England has for the past six years been chief executive of St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital in Queensland, a member of the Australian Uniting Care Health group, the company said in a statement. Acurity said in October that Blair would step down after the Stewart family and Royston Hospital Trust Board took control in a partial takeover.

England's experience in overseeing the redevelopment at St Andrew's is expected to benefit Wakefield Hospital through its own redevelopment process, Acurity chairman Alan Isaac said.

Shares in Acurity were unchanged at $4.85, having dropped 3 percent this year.

England will start July 1. Blair's term officially ended March 31.
