Hospitals: Standards
(asked on 19th December 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
What recent progress his Department has made on improving the performance of hospitals in special measures.
This question was answered on 19th December 2017
The Special Measures programme has been in place since 2013 with 37 instances of trusts entering. 21 trusts have exited Special Measures since the programme began, including five which have exited since March this year. I particularly congratulate Colchester, which exited in November.
Eight former Special Measures trusts are now rated either “Good” or “Outstanding”.
