Finance director Gary Boothby is in the spotlight this week sending Happy Birthday wishes to the NHS. 

How long have you worked in the NHS and why did you want to?

26 years and I wanted to because for me, as an accountant, it is much more interesting than other sectors and we can make a difference to so many people  

What makes the NHS special to you?

The NHS is the UK's top brand and is what makes us the envy of the world. The NHS impacts everybody at some point in their lives .

What present would you give it for its 70th?

It would have to be more money, but also reduced political influence to allow for longer term planning.
