The University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire has been’shamed’ as one of England’s worst. The government has released a new league table comparing the top and worst performing NHS trusts in England.

University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire The Trust, which runs both the University Hospital Coventry and Rugby’s St Cross Hospital, is third from bottom in the acute hospital trust rankings, slightly ahead of the Countess of Chester Hospital in second place and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn at the bottom.

The table compares NHS trusts based on a variety of variables, including financial performance, patient access to care, surgical waiting lists, A&E delays, and ambulance response times.

CoventryLive contacted University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire about the current ranking, and in a statement, CEO Professor Andy Hardy said they were ‘disappointed’ but that improvements were being made.

“We are disappointed by our position in the national oversight table and we are looking at all the metrics to see where we can use our improvement methodology (UHCWi) to make positive changes for our patients,” stated the company’s CEO.

“Our staff’s efforts have already resulted in improvements in some critical areas.

We continue to strive to deliver excellent levels of service to our patients, as indicated by our recent CQC inspection, which rated both of our hospitals, University Hospital Coventry and the Hospital of St Cross in Rugby, as ‘Good’ for patient care and safety.” Use the interactive table below to check how your local hospital trust ranks.
