The hospital's chief executive says it is likely to cause 'additional pressure' over the winter.
The hospital's Chief Executive Prof Lesley Dwyer says imposing stronger vacancy controls had been an "incredibly difficult decision"
A hospital has announced "stronger controls" on recruiting staff in an attempt to plug an £11m gap in its finances. The chief executive of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital , Prof Lesley Dwyer, said all vacancies would be "subject to consideration on a case-by-case basis" until March. In an email sent to staff earlier, seen by the BBC, she acknowledged how the "incredibly difficult decision" was likely to create "additional pressure" over the winter."I recognise that holding a vacancy means that you may have to make adjustments to your service especially as we focus on keeping our services safe and maintaining patient flow during the increased demand we will face over the winter together," the email read.
