The Care Quality Commission turned up without notice
Inspectors from the Care Quality Commission have completed an unannounced visit to the Royal Preston Hospital.
The last occasion that the trust that runs the Royal Preston – Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust – was subject to the latter back in 2019, it was rated as “requires improvement” for the fourth time in five years. However, it did achieve a “good” grading in the “caring and “well-led” categories.The organisation has been told that a standalone inspection of how well led it is will take place across three days at the end of this month.
Last year, the Royal Preston’s emergency department was inspected as part of a broader CQC assessment of urgent and emergency care services across Lancashire and South Cumbria. When the resultant report was published in July, the A&E at the Fulwood site was given a “requires improvement” rating because it was found that there were not always enough doctors and nurses to care for patients – although praise was heaped on staff for the way they did look after those in need of their help.
In its latest board report, “the absence of recurrent funding in the [emergency department]” was highlighted as the reason for the risk that the recommendation would not be met. While it was noted that an urgent and emergency care transformation programme aimed to reduce the funding gap, “it will not remove it entirely”, the document warned.
