A Shropshire hospital trust is facing a £15m deficit unless it takes action, its board has warned.
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust was one of 19 indentified last week by the Audit Commission, as being in severe financial difficulty.
It has already received a £4m bailout from the government.
The trust said it had been forced to spend almost £750,000 on agency nurses, to fill vacant posts and cover sickness.
