ELITE NHS foundation trusts are planning to recruit 10,000 more clinical staff in a ?500m recruitment drive.
The moves are being linked with growing concerns over the quality of hospital care in the wake of the landmark Francis report into the Stafford Hospital scandal.
These have been further fuelled by a report last week which led to 11 NHS trusts, including one in Yorkshire, being plunged into ?special measures? following investigations into death rates.
Staff shortages in key areas have been among the problems blamed although expanding the workforce is likely to come at significant extra cost and has prompted warnings more organisations will face financial problems in future years unless they carry out ?fundamental change? to services.
