Email JaimeAnn Swain, Global CEO at APSCo, said, “The data shows that the continued strike action is influencing both recruitment and applications in the healthcare sector.
“With ongoing disputes and a fall in applications as unrest continues, hospitals and Trusts are facing significant resourcing difficulties that are showing no signs of easing.
“While there has been some movement in pay negotiations, the damage to the healthcare labour market that has already been done will be difficult to reverse, suggesting that struggles will only continue in the sector.”
