Annual health check
Standards for Better Health
The Care Quality Commission will undertake a number of visits to the trust to test out how we have demonstrated our level of compliance against the core standards; these reports will be made available to the public.
The Patient and Public Involvement Forum and the Overview and Scrutiny Committee were invited to make comments on the performance of Trafford Healthcare NHS Trust and these comments have been included in the submission. We have also shared our declaration with our commissioners.
