The trust currently has zero vacancies for registered nurses, but the increase deemed to be necessary will come with a bill of £1.08m
More than £1m of investment will be needed in order to ensure future safe levels of nurse staffing at the Royal Preston and Chorley and South Ribble hospitals.
“At the moment, we are running as much evening and weekend work as possible and we do fill [the] surgical wards at Chorley regularly now,” chief operating officer Faith Button said. Sarah Cullen added that the nursing number needed had been arrived at “in line with national quality…requirements”. The meeting was told that a change from short to long shifts which was made pre-pandemic had achieved a £2.1m saving for the trust. The organisation has also managed to end the use of agency healthcare assistant staff, generating a £340,000 saving every month.
