Workforce Performance Report June 2017 Mike McEnaney Director of Finance

Temporary Staffing Spend There has been an increase of £111k in agency spend compared to May. This increase was mainly in the Additional Clinical Services and Registered Nursing staff groups where spend increased by £145K. Bank spend has shown a slight increase since May. Agency spend was 73.59% above the ceiling set by NHSI and overrides have risen slightly since the start of the FY. Preparation for the centralisation of the management of all agency spend is underway and this should be effective from September. SafeCare , a module of the Work Force Management system which allows the Trust to compare actual staffing with demand driven by patient acuity is currently being implemented across inpatient units. This should support the Trust to ensure staffing levels are appropriate to patient needs. This Month: 12.87% £2.389m Last Month: 11.85% £2.263m Last Year: 10.28% £1.918m Reduction Reduction

Temporary Staffing Spend Bank spend showed little change in C&YP and Corporate Services and fell slightly in Older Adults. New posts have been authorised to support the recruitment of Flexible Workers and it is anticipated that this should be in place from August. 56% of agency use was to cover vacancies, 21% for increased workload and 4% for sickness.

Sickness Sickness has increased slightly in June to stand at 4.01%. The increase has been experienced by all the directorates except Corporate. The current rate is just above the Trust target but consistent with the same time period in previous years. The driver for the increase is a rise in absence labelled as ‘Other known causes’, most notably in the Older Peoples Directorate. Target: 3.50% This Month: 4.01% Last Month: 3.86% Last Year: 3.69%

Vacancy The vacancy rate has decreased slightly to 12.12% in June from 12.45% in May. Whilst the addition of new services and contracts have generated small scale peaks, all directorates have shown a general increase in the vacancy rate over the last four months. This is consistent with the on-going decline in the total worked FTE and the high turnover rate. The decline in available FTE is most significant in the Nursing , Allied Health Professional and Additional Clinical Services staff groups. Target: 9.0% This Month: 12.12% Last Month: 12.45% Last Year: 11.08%

Turnover The Turnover figure has decreased slightly in June to 14.81% from 14.86% in May. The decrease was driven primarily by a reductions in the Corporate and Children and Young People directorates. However, turnover is increasing consistently in the Medical, Nursing and Allied Health Professional staff groups over the last year. Target: 12.00% This Month: 14.81% Last Month: 14.86% Last Year: 14.13%
