New NHS League tables launched by the Department of Health & Social Care

The Department of Health and Social Care has published new NHS League tables, which will drive up standards; tackling variation in care and delivering meaningful outcomes, greater efficiency and value for patients. Every Trust in England will be ranked quarterly against new standards, top-performing trusts will be rewarded with greater freedoms and investment, while underperforming trusts will receive targeted support to drive improvement and their senior leaders will be held accountable through performance-linked pay.

"These league tables will identify where urgent support is needed and allow high-performing areas to share best practises with others, taking the best of the NHS to the rest of the NHS." 

Wes Streeting, Health and Social Care Secretary

"NHS staff across the country work flat out to deliver the highest standard of care to their patients and every day we see or hear fantastic examples of this, but we still have far too much unwarranted local variation in performance. Letting patients and the public access more data will help to drive improvement even faster by supporting them to identify where they should demand even better from their NHS and by putting more power their hands to make informed decisions on their choice of provider. The data also supports local NHS Trust Boards and leadership teams to more easily identify the highest performing services in the NHS and adapt how they deliver care to drive improvement even faster going forward."

Sir Jim Mackey, Chief Executive of NHS England

Trusts will be scored against metrics in the National Oversight Framework (NOF) published in July. 

The first league tables have been published, with Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust ranked number 1 in England, followed by the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust, and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust. See the Acute trust league table
