A large number of care roles in North Yorkshire remain vacant despite a major recruitment campaign.
The County Council says that while the "Make Care Matter" campaign has filled a number of roles there are still significant staff shortages.
Councillor Michael Harrison is the Executive Member for Adult Services, he says the impact on care services continues to be significant.
There are still over three thousand hours a week of front line care vacancies in North Yorkshire.
Councillor Michael Harrison says there needs to be national changes to the care sector.
The "Make Care Matter" scheme has used TV ads along with social media and a dedicated website to try and fill vacancies in both county council care services and with private companies.
The targeted recruitment campaign began last November with the first phase attracting 450 applicants. A second phase launched in January and has involved the use of television adverts to try and attract more people to work in the care sector in North Yorkshire.
