Answer

The Trust currently funds Greenhill for two beds 5 nights per week. The additional investment will enable the Trust to expand this provision to 2 beds 7 nights per week and this expansion will be contingent upon the success recruitment of an appropriate workforce. A dedicated recruitment campaign will commence during April 2025.
