In October 2013 as a result of the Keogh Review the Trust was put into the highest risk category by the Care Quality Commission. [7] It was put into a buddying arrangement with Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust. [8]
In February 2014 the Trust announced it would invest £5 million to create 150 new nursing jobs to cut down on agency staff. “Before Christmas, we recruited 70 nurses and a further 97 nurses will be starting employment with the trust by April.” [9] The trust spent £19.3 million on agency staff in 2014/5. [10]
A Care Quality Commission inspection in March 2014 found the trust had made ‘significant progress’ with ‘real differences made in a relatively short time to improve quality and the patient experience’. Staff were said to be ‘caring and compassionate and treated patients with dignity and respect’. As a result, the trust was taken out of special measures in June 2014. [11]
In February 2016 it was expecting a deficit of £5.5 million for the year 2015/6. [12]
