Oxford Health receives Good CQC rating
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has been recognised by the Care Quality Commission as having improved the majority of its services, resulting in a Good rating.
The hospital inspectorate found that the trust has a strong patient focus, a learning culture and that staff showed caring, compassionate attitudes, were involved in development and improvements, and passionate and proud to work for the trust.
Since the last inspection in 2018, the trust has continued to make improvements despite facing challenging funding issues, with a review by the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group highlighting a £12 million shortfall in mental health funding and a £10 million shortfall in funding for community services.
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust’s overall rating is based on scores for 16 mental health, learning disability and community health core services. In total, 14 core services were rated as Good overall, one was rated Requires Improvement and one was rated Outstanding. Across the trust, most of the environments were safe, clean, well-equipped, well maintained and fit for purpose.
