Whilst the data collected indicates Long term constant obs are the main overtime driver ,we would expect vacancies to be a larger portion. Work is underway to fill vacancies which will reduce overtime & sick leave. E.g. new grads RN’s, different roster patterns, transition RN’s from non mental health services.
