The below Parliamentary question was asked by Caroline Ansell on 2015-11-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, which Hospital Trusts have moved out of special measures since the Care Quality Commission inspection regime was introduced; and if he will make a statement.

Ben Gummer

The following 10 Trusts have exited Special Measures since it started in July 2013:

– Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

– Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust

– East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust

– George Eliot Hospital Trust

– Heatherwood and Wexham Park Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

– Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust

– The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kings’ Lynn, NHS Foundation Trust

– Tameside Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Every patient rightly expects the best possible quality of care and services. We are pleased that following the hard work by staff at these trusts and significant improvement, the Care Quality Commission recommended that these trusts exit Special Measures.
