Performance

During 2010/11 the annual turnover for the hospital was £247m. More than 92% of the trust's clinical income came from contracts with the Primary Care Trust. The trust was one of 26 responsible for half of the national growth in patients waiting more than four hours in accident and emergency over the 2014/15 winter. The trust broke from the national pay agreement in August 2015 by giving a 1% pay rise to its senior non-clinical staff - those earning above £57,069 - in line with the award for the rest of the staff. It spent £11.8m on agency staff in 2014/15. In January 2016 the trust announced that it was expecting an unprecedented deficit of £11m on an annual budget of about £450m. All spending was to be deferred until April if possible. In a survey of 242 hospitals in England it had the slowest responding telephone switchboard, with an average response time of 278 seconds. In October 2017 it reported a £17.6m deficit and was reported to be "on the verge" of financial special measures as it expected to be unable to pay its bills by November 2017. In 2022 the
