Hospital still missing targets
The scandal-hit Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust is still not meeting recommendations on improvements in its accident and emergency departments, the Care Quality Commission has found.
Hospital criticised on staffing and complaints systems
The CQC said the Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust must take action to ensure suitably qualified and experienced paediatric staff are available at all times within the A&E department
It must also improve its complaints handling systems to make sure that complaints are responded to fully and in a timely manner, demonstrating that changes to practice have been introduced as a result, the report said.
It said today's report into A&E at the Morecambe Bay Trust "marks the end of our formal investigation" but it will "continue to monitor the trust closely."
