Winter has always been a difficult time for the NHS but many trust leaders say that staff shortages, burnout, staff retention and staff absences are a growing concern.
Some 85% of NHS trust leaders say they are more concerned about this winter than any previous one during their career.
Some 48% of trust leaders rated the quality of healthcare provided by their local area as very high or high, while just 30% predicted that it would reach that standard in two years' time. And a further 27% neither agreed or disagreed, while a quarter disagreed or strongly disagreed they could hit the targets, which were put in place after the pandemic.
