Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will publish the list of hospitals that are rated by the Care Quality Commission as requires improvement overall.

As the independent regulator of health and social care providers in England, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates and assesses all providers of regulated activities by looking at five domains – whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive to people’s needs and well-led. These five questions are asked of all the services the CQC inspects. After each inspection, the CQC produces a report. In most cases their reports include ratings, which show their overall judgement of the quality of care.

All of the CQC’s provider ratings are published on the CQC’s website; these can be filtered via the rating and the type of provider. Hospitals currently rated as requires improvement are published at the following link:
