The Diocese of Exeter has announced this morning that the Reverend Dame Sarah Mullally, Canon Treasurer at Salisbury Cathedral, will take up the post in September.

She's a former nurse who worked in the NHS for many years and was the youngest person to be appointed Chief Nursing Officer for England in 1999.
