Annual Reports
CQC: A major survey of 69,000 NHS hospital inpatients points to big improvements in cleanliness and adecline in mixed-sex accommodation, says the Care Quality Commission. CQC said many of the survey questions relate to essential standards of quality & safety that trusts must meet under the new registration system that came into operation on 1 April 2010. The information is used to monitor performance in the NHS.
The Commission said progress was disappointing in some important aspects of care and in some cases the experience of patients had got worse. The survey also showed significant room for improvement around the information given to people about medicines.
