HEALTHCARE COMMISSION

NHS Trust Declarations on standards for 2007/08 (16th June 2008)
The Healthcare Commission today (Monday) said it would carry out a thorough check of NHS trusts’ public declarations on whether they meet the government’s standards for healthcare. In the 2006/2007 annual performance assessment of the NHS, 33 trusts scored ‘weak’ for quality of services. During the 2007/2008 year, the commission visited these trusts to check on the progress being made to improve standards. Of the 33 trusts, 24 had been rated as 'not met' in 2006/2007 against core standards. All but two of these trusts have declared higher levels of compliance in 2007/2008.
