The York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was providing an update on the situation at the hospital
- which is the trust’s largest, after Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors rated it ‘inadequate’ in a report published in June 2023, following their inspection the previous October.
Last year the inspectors also found that the trust as a whole needed to improve, giving it the overall rating of ‘requires improvement’.
“In the time since the CQC’s visits we have made significant improvements and have addressed the recommendations outlined in the reports,” a trust spokesperson told The Press.
This update comes after national newspapers – including the Daily Mail – reported that York Hospital was one of the worst in England.
The spokesperson said the reports by national newspapers were based on the findings by CQC inspections in late 2022, which have not been updated as there had not been an inspection since.
