She also said the trust was affected by national recruitment issues like the shortage of nurses and said that had affected staff workload, morale and the ability of staff to provide high quality care.Ms Grey said the trust had undertaken a major recruitment drive adding 1,700 staff in 2023, and said that vacancy rates had fallen to 10 per cent from an all time high of 40 per cent in 2020.
