The latest NHS staff survey results showed a further decline in the percentage of respondents who felt safe to speak up and had confidence in the trust's response if they did speak up,It said that while the survey's results placed UHBW above the national average, "it is not good enough".
The report said work to improve recruitment processes had resulted in a "sharp decline" in complaints about nepotism and unfairness.
