The mental health trust for Norfolk and Suffolk is in the ?eye of the storm? of its major restructure and its most happiest members of staff are the ones leaving the organisation, governors said.

Members of Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust?s board of governors spoke of their concern yesterday about the morale of its workforce.

The mental health trust is in the process of cutting around 400 jobs as part of a major overhaul of services, which will reduce the organisation?s budget by 20pc. The health trust is planning to reduce the number of inpatient beds across Norfolk and Suffolk by 20pc by 2016 as part of its service strategy.

Staff governor Duncan Double said the recruitment of a new leader following the resignation of chief executive Aidan Thomas in the summer would potentially help raise staff morale.
