A REPORT into hospital performance at Scarborough's NHS Trust has revealed a number of serious concerns over patient safety.

The report, published by the Commission for Health Improvement (CHI), criticised safety standards at Bridlington Hospital, saying nurse and junior doctor staffing levels needed urgent attention.

Peter Homa, chief executive of the CHI, said there were areas which needed improvement.

The Trust's chief executive, Robert Crawford, said an immediate review had been agreed.
