Today the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published the results of our latest trustwide inspection on its website. The report demonstrates our continuous improvement and the positive impact this has had on people’s experience of the services we provide and acknowledges that we still have more to do.
Our chief executive, Brent Kilmurray, said: “We are at the halfway point of our five-year transformation programme and fully accept that further improvements are needed to get to where we want to be. However, we have come a long way in a relatively short space of time and this report demonstrates our continuous improvement.
“It’s pleasing that a running theme throughout the report is that our staff are kind and caring and demonstrate our values in the care they provide. The majority of our services are rated as ‘Good’, and elsewhere the CQC recognises that progress is being made.
“The report also acknowledges that leaders at all levels have ensured that improvements were made since the CQC’s last inspection.
“As with other trusts throughout the NHS, successful staff recruitment remains a pressing priority and is the key to us achieving all our goals.
“I would like thank everyone involved for their dedication and hard work in delivering the positive changes and we are committed to staying focussed, continuous improvement and providing safe and kind care.”
