The region\u2019s hospitals trust is now officially one of the worst performing in the country, despite spending hundreds of thousands of pounds to bring in an \u2018improvement team\u2019.<\/p>\n
Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH), which manages Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital, is ranked 130 out of 134 trusts in the country by NHS England.<\/p>\n
NHS England \u2013 the executive body responsible for leading and overseeing the NHS \u2013 ranks health trusts against a range of performance criteria, including patient safety, access to services and finances. <\/p>\n
Along with the lowly Acute Trust League Table ranking, HUTH is currently rated as \u2018Requires Improvement\u2019 by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) \u2013 the independent regulator of health and social care in England. <\/p>\n
It is ranked 116 out of 119 comparable trusts for cancer treatment waiting times on the NHS England Data Dashboard, when measured against the national 62-day target.<\/p>\n
HUTH is also performing worse than the national average for every other measure on the dashboard, including A&E waiting times. <\/p>\n
The trust is part of the wider NHS Humber Health Partnership (HHP) group, which includes Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust\u00a0(NLaG). The group serves a population of 1,500,000, employs 19,000 staff and has a budget of \u00a31.6bn, according to its website.<\/p>\n
HHP is failing and requires urgent improvement, according to another NHS classification. <\/p>\n
The Acute Trust League Table forms part of NHS England\u2019s Oversight Framework, which it describes as \u201ca consistent and transparent approach to assessing NHS trusts, ensuring public accountability for performance\u201d.<\/p>\n
Under the framework, trusts are graded from a \u2018segment rating\u2019 of 1, which is judged to be \u201chigh performance\u201d, to 5, which is classed as \u201csignificant concerns\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE By Rick Lyon, Co-Editor The region\u2019s hospitals trust is now officially one of the worst performing in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311356,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[134,527,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-311355","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-healthcare","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311355\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
