Speaking to BBC Radio Humberside, the health secretary said he would ‘not be satisfied until we see your NHS services improving as we are seeing in other parts of the country'.

‘That's partly about the investment,' Streeting added.

‘But it is also about supporting the leadership and turning around the trust so they deliver in the same way other trusts are doing with the same resources.'

The trust is currently rated bottom of NHS England's acute trusts league table.

Hull Royal Infirmary is among 40 new and expanded urgent care sites across England as part of Government efforts to tackle corridor care announced this month.

A spokeswoman for Humber Health Partnership said: ‘Our current position in the NOF league table reflects the scale of challenges which the organisation has been managing for some time. These issues are not new. Since the summer, we have taken a deliberate decision to surface those challenges openly through the development of our clinically-led Improvement Plan.

‘That plan, shaped by frontline clinicians and teams, sets out clear actions to strengthen patient safety, stabilise services and improve reliability of care.

‘Many changes are already under way including a major improvement programme to reduce waiting times for breast cancer treatment to the introduction of a seven-day service to help patients with clots on their brains.

‘We're also changing ways of working – adapting medical rotas to provide 24/7 cover, introducing a new digital appointment system empowering patients to book and cancel appointments and offering people new services to support their recovery at home instead of them spending too long in hospital.

‘The additional oversight and enforcement undertakings that are linked to our position provide a structured framework to support delivery of that work, including strengthening leadership, governance and organisational arrangements across the partnership.'
