Finance

John Lawlor the chief executive warned in June 2015 that “grey to black clouds” are looming as cuts force the Trust to make savings of between £9m and £12m every year because changes in NHS cash allocation had led to a shift towards distributing money on the basis of “age” rather than “deprivation”.[1]

It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 5580 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 5.82%. 61% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 53% recommended it as a place to work.[2] In August 2016 it was rated outstanding by the Care Quality Commission[3]
