More than 100 nurses are needed at the Royal Alexandra Hospital as health bosses argue waiting times at the A&E department are improving.
Figures obtained by the Paisley Daily Express show there are currently 120 vacancies for nurses at the Paisley hospital alone. That accounts for 10 per cent of the nursing workforce.
The news comes eight months after then health secretary Humza Yousaf pledged an additional £8 million to bolster medical staff in Scottish hospitals.
