Trust team win NHS award
The Strategy and Improvement team has been recognised for their hard work supporting the Trust in its turnaround efforts, helping to deliver a number of savings totalling £6.5m at month eight of the financial year with a further £5m predicted to be achieved by late March 2017.
Turnaround - the term given for the process of financial recovery - was implemented 12 months ago when the Trust found itself with a deficit of £37m, after uncovering significant financial misreporting to the board. Since then, the organisation has been working to implement a robust cost-saving strategy.
