Inspectors lavish praise on Northampton General Hospital as it improves to 'good' rating It has been a long journey but finally the rest of the world knows what the staff have all along: Northampton General Hospital is a good hospital.
When inspectors from the care Quality Commission gave their shattering verdict in 2014, it was that NGH ‘requires improvement’. Although true (in fact, in some areas it verged on being ‘inadequate’), it was never something the nurses, doctors, porters and cleaners believed; that rating just wasn’t NGH.
And so it has proved. The comparison graphic that chief executive Dr Sonia Swart has been proud to show off to employees for weeks features a grid stained with the yellow of inadequacy. Next to that is a similar grid expect this one is almost completely green.
