The Healthcare Commission 2004-2009: Regulating healthcare - experience and lessons (19th March 2009)
The Healthcare Commission today (Thursday) publishes its report on the impact of NHS regulation on healthcare, and identifies areas where lessons can be learned. The report comes as the Healthcare Commission approaches the end of its time as the independent regulator of the NHS. A new integrated regulator of health, mental health and adult social care, the Care Quality Commission, will take over on 1 April 2009. The report considers how independent regulation has contributed to better outcomes and quality of care for people since 2004, as well as highlighting lessons for both regulation and the healthcare system as a whole.

Improving services for children in hospital - report of the follow-up to the 2005/06 review (13th March 2009)
The Healthcare Commission today (Friday) publishes a report detailing progress by 154 NHS acute trusts since it reviewed services for children in hospital in 2005/06. The 2005/06 review showed that services were generally good when children were inpatients in specialist paediatric services. But there was a need for significant improvement in the care of children being treated in other settings.
This latest report focuses on emergency and day case settings, looking at the areas that the Commission had previously highlighted as particular concerns. Results for each trust across 19 indicators of performance are published alongside the report.

National NHS Staff Survey 2008 (25th March 2009)
This is the sixth annual national survey of NHS staff, in which almost 290,000 NHS staff were asked for their views on working in the NHS. The aim of this survey is to gather information that will improve the working lives of NHS staff and help to provide better care for patients. Findings of the survey show a decline in the number of workers who say they experienced bullying, harassment or abuse by patients or their relatives and that nine out of 10 feel they make a difference for patients. Many more NHS staff also say they are trained in infection control and that hand-washing materials are always available when they need them. The Commission said the results highlight some real and significant progress that is to be celebrated. However, it said the results also indicate a need to improve the way that leaders in the NHS communicate their vision for the service and how managers act on feedback from staff. The findings also point to a need to improve the structure of teams and to clarify teams' objectives.
