Care Quality Commission together with NHS Improvement we have today started consulting on plans to fully implement the process that both organisations will use to report on how NHS non-specialist acute trusts are using their resources to provide high quality, efficient and sustainable care.
We are asking for your views on our proposed approach to working with NHS Improvement to reflect their assessment of trusts’ use of resources in published CQC inspection reports and trust-level ratings.
We are also seeking feedback on how we can best combine the rating that will be awarded for use of resources with CQC’s five trust-level quality ratings, and how we will generate new combined ratings at the trust level.
The consultation will run from 8 November 2017 to 10 January 2018.
