"Patients are at risk in a QUARTER of hospitals: Inspectors raise alarm about long A&E waits, high death rates and staff shortages
-Care Quality Commissions says 44 NHS Trusts are at 'high risk'
-Warning patients are not receiving 'safe, effective, high quality care'
.....Health inspectors have raised fears about high death rates, long waits for A&E, cancer treatment, botched operations and patients struggling to even find staff.
.....They include Aintree University Hospital which is at ‘high risk’ on mortality rates and whistleblowing alerts, Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals, rated as high risk for knee replacement and hernia surgery, poor patient experience and A&E waiting times, and Croydon Health Services NHS Trust where patients struggle to find staff to talk to and lack confidence in nurses.
