While I'm aware some companies do this there was an email went round a couple of weeks ago offering staff to take additional annual leave at a monthly cost spread over 12 months.

While this is great if you need the additional time. But considering the staffing levels are at breaking point I'm surprised they went with this. Perhaps £££ signs to increase or save NHS funds is what they are looking for.

The problem is like my ward they can't get suitable staff to do the job and just lately the turnover is worse than an agency.

We can't even get bank staff from other areas of the trust because the job is specialised so can only give bank/overtime to those that work within the role.
