Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has been ranked the worst acute trust in the country.
It placed 134th on the latest NHS acute trust league table.
They said this was down to long-standing challenges they'd been facing and that a clinically-led Improvement Plan was ongoing.
This plan aims to boost patient safety, stabilise services, and enhance care reliability.
A spokeswoman said “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."
The trust are also updating medical rotas for continuous 24/7 coverage, has implemented a digital appointment system, and will offer people new services to support their recovery at home instead of in the hospital.
A spokeswoman continued “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.”
