Health watchdog to review why so few hospitals improved after an inspection

Health watchdog to review why so few hospitals improved after an inspection The NHS quality watchdog is to review the way it carries out inspections after it emerged that almost three-quarters of follow-up visits showed that hospitals had failed to improve.

The Care Quality Commission has said it will try to “better understand” why such a small proportion of hospital trusts are improving their standards after receiving a critical report.

A total of 21 hospital trusts were subject to follow-up visits by the CQC in 2015-16 after an initial inspection identified flaws in care, with 17 failing to show overall improvement. The Daily Telegraph
