The Trust narrowly missed out on reaching the top tier
The Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust has narrowly missed out on being ranked in the top available category in newly revealed league tables. The Trust was ranked 22nd nationally among mental health, learning disability and community Trusts.
The NHS Oversight Framework, which reviews performance across all NHS organisations, has been published to show how acute, non-acute and ambulance Trusts are performing against a range of criteria. The Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust has been ranked in segment two of four in the non-acute provider league table, narrowly missing the top category and placing it as the highest performer in the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) area.
Trusts are assessed quarterly against key performance criteria, such as waiting times and delivery of national priorities. Michele Moran, Chief Executive at Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, said, “We welcome the publication of the NHS Oversight Framework and are pleased to have been placed in segment two.
“This reflects the strength of our services and the dedication of our staff. We are proud to be the highest ranked Trust in our Integrated Care Board and 22nd nationally for mental health, community and learning disability Trusts.”
She added: “We are clear on our areas of focus and have plans in place to make further improvements over the coming year. Our priority remains delivering high quality, compassionate care for the people we serve.”
Newly released league tables were less kind to the region’s acute Trusts, the Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, and Northern Lincolnshire And Goole NHS Foundation Trust which ranked in 123rd and 125th place respectively out of 134. In response to the poor rankings, a spokesperson from the Humber Health Partnership, which is made up of the two trusts, said the tables “highlight areas where we must do better for the communities we serve.”
The spokesperson added: “We know that getting good NHS services is the most important thing to more than 1.5 million patients, carers and families in the Humber region and beyond who depend on them. It is also the most important thing to everyone who works at the Humber Health Partnership. That is why we are now working to strengthen and improve the services we deliver by empowering our doctors, nurses and other clinical professionals to deliver and shape the care our communities receive today and tomorrow.”
