The Trust that runs Scarborough Hospital has been ranked by staff as one of the worst in England as a place to work.
The results, which were part of the NHS Staff Survey, looked into the experiences of more than 700 thousand people working in the NHS in autumn 2024.
Scarborough Councillor Rich Maw is concerned by the results.
In the North East and Yorkshire, the York and Scarborough Trust was ranked the lowest with only 45 per cent of staff “agreeing” or “strongly agreeing” they would recommend it as a place to work.
Bosses at the NHS Trust have said the results “do not reflect where we want to be” and mirrored the “hugely challenging environment we are working in”.
Alison Hume, the MP for Scarborough and Whitby she will be asking questions of NHS managers.
The chief executive of the York and Scarborough NHS Trust, Simon Morritt, said that the message from colleagues was
“loud and clear that we have a long way to go”.
“The overall response rate of 36 per cent means we are not hearing from almost two-thirds of our staff.
“We have also seen a decline in our overall engagement score, and the extent to which colleagues would recommend our trust as a place to work and to receive treatment.
“The responses also suggest that people are not confident they can influence improvement or drive change.”
Mr Morritt, who described the results as disappointing, said that solutions would not arrive in the form of significant new investment in services or workforce and that a “fundamental shift in our thinking” was needed towards “how we use what we already have”.
